Perfect Find

Chapter 11|I think I just died|

★Ava's POV★
I walk inside my house just to see Mum,Dylan and Jeff sitting on the couch.
"Uhhhh......did someone die?" I ask knowing that Dylan will never sit in the same room as Jeff.
"No.......I need to talk to you" Mum says

Oh shit. Did Dylan tell mum about what happened???

Ughhhhh...... he's such an asshole.

"Mum I can explain" I say hoping she hears me out.
"Explain what?" She asks being confused. I turn to look at Dylan and he shakes his head.

Oh......she doesn't know.
Well he's still an asshole.

"Uh...... explain...... explain why I was late. You know,..... traffic....cars causing a traffic....and a truck......you know. Yeah." I blab out,not being able to come up with what to say.
Dylan face palms himself.

"Okayyyyy....."mum says and looks at me weirdly.
"That's not what I wanted to talk to you about. So kids,Jeff has something to announce" mum says
"Why did you say it was you?"Dylan asks
"Would you have shown up if I said it was Jeff?" My mum asks Dylan
"Good point"
"I wanted to do this infront of the kids"
Jeff says and turns to mum.
"Ever since I met you" he starts

Wait where is this going?

"I've been the happiest man alive. You make me smile when I'm moody, comfort me when I'm sad_"
"Okay. Where are you going with this?" Dylan asks
"Yeah. I would also like to know where this is going " I add
"You've shared in all my pains and happiness,you supported me when I was going for the interview and celebrated with me when I got the Job"
"Alright wrap this up" I say being impatient.
"Look. All I'm trying to say is that I love you Hailey Jones"

I think I'm gonna be sick.
I think I'm going to throw up.
Locate the nearest bathroom now before it's too late.

"Hailey Jones" Jeff says while kneeling down.

No no no no no
This can't be happening.
I really hope he's kneeling down to tie his shoe laces.

Oh fuck. He doesn't have shoe laces.

He brings out a box and opens it, revealing a ring.
"Will you make me that happiest man alive and marry me?"

Why does the universe hate me?
I thought we were friends and now you allowed this to happen.

Quick...... someone call the ambulance cause I think I just died.

Mom looks at me,then Dylan then the ring.
I can see she's having a hard time picking an answer.

I can help you answ_

"Yes......yes I'll marry you" My thought gets short by her answer.
Jeff inserts the ring in her finger and gets up. He hugs her then kisses her.
"Oh and that's not all" Jeff says and turns to look at me.

This isn't going to be good.

"Why don't we get married one month from now?" Jeff asks my mum.
"Wait but one month from now is_"
"Your birthday. That's a wonderful idea babe" Mum agrees.
"That day will be extra special" she says again then gives us that beautiful smile of hers.

I glare at Jeff and I can see a small smirk on his face.
Oh I wish I could slap that smirk of his stupid face.
"I'm not in support of this idea. Besides it's my birthday right? So I'm supposed to have a say in this"
"You" I point at Jeff
"You're doing this in purpose. You came here to ruin my life didn't you? Well let me tell you something, I'll never accept you as my father so go back to the hell hole you crawled out from"
"Ava!" My mum shouts my name
"I won't have you insult my fiance in my presence. Go to your room."she commands
"Gladly. His face irritates me anyways" I say and walk upstairs to my room.

I know I made mum angry but I can't help it. I can't allow her to do something that she'll regret for the rest of her life.

I pick up my phone to call Amelia. I haven't heard from her since.
"Hi" she says through a cracked voice.

She's been crying.

"Hey Blondie, how're you doing?"
"What do you think?" She answers
"If it makes you feel any better,I don't think he did it"
"Well I do. He's a player and will always be a player. Don't fall in love Ava" she warns
"Fall in love and go through what you're going through? Yeah.... I'll pass"
"Fuck boys. Are you going to the party?" She asks again.
"No Blondie. I'm not. I told you before."
"Please just for me. I really need to clear my mind and what's the best way to do that if it's not to party the pain away?"
"Uhm......sleep?"
"BORINGGGGG. Ava Jones you're coming with me to that party " she says. Her tone leaving no room for argument.
"Fine but don't you think Xavier will be there?"
"He never goes to any of their parties,you may see his friends there but not him"
Amelia assures me.
"Okay. Oh and please stop crying "
"I will..... I'll come pick you up."
"Alright....bye Blondie"
"Oh and about that nickn_" I hang up before she gets the chance to complain about the nickname.

What exactly am I supposed to wear?
I walk to my closet and rummage through my clothes, looking for something suitable to wear.

My eyes spot a short royal blue gown that has a slit on the left side and thin sleeves and a corset at the back. Ciara gave me this as a gift for my 16th birthday. I never actually wore it.

I pick up the gown and try it on then look at the mirror. It's really pretty and simple.

She's knows me so well.

I take off the dress and head to the bathroom for a quick shower. I get out of the bathroom and dry my self and hair with a towel then wear my night wear.

I have lots of homework to do. I allow snooze by SZA to play in back then focus on my maths homework. This is worth 40% of my grades and I have no idea on what I'm looking at.

God I hate maths.

It's due till next month so I still have time right?

Yeah.

I throw the book inside my bag cause it's hopeless to pretend as if I know what I'm doing. I walk to my window to watch the stars and feel the midnight breeze just to see Xavier at his window doing same.

He seems to be lost in thoughts so he doesn't notice me. I try to leave my window without him noticing me but I fail miserably.

He stares at me with those blue eyes I hate but love so damn much.
"Hi" he says but I'm not ready to talk to him.
He tried to strangle me.
"Bye" I say then close my window and walk away.

I finish my daily call with Ciara and lay on my bed, trying to sleep but nothing happens. I just lay there and allow my mind to drift off but then Xavier's face while strangling me appears in my mind.

I don't think I'm going to get any sleep.
