Last night Reynolds told me to come over in the morning but I've been contemplating it since I got up this morning. I don't want to intrude on her space.

I went to the gym this morning with Ava and the whole way there I talked about her message. Ava thinks I should go because she did invite me after all and it's not like I would be intruding if I went because I've been there before.

But it feels like an invasion of privacy to me.

Ava and I got back from the gym and it was only seven. We'd gone much earlier because we prefer less people there, it's more serene when it's empty.

We've both had showers and gotten ready for the day, I went with a simple pair of blue jeans and a black long sleeve top since it's getting colder outside. My every day simple silver jewellery and a pair of Nike low dunks to complete my outfit.

I didn't go with any make up today because I felt good enough without it and Reynolds said we were doing something more interactive today.

Ava went with a much more relaxed outfit compared to mine. She's in a pair of sweatpants and a white baby tee in her Ugg's and no jewellery.

"Just go over early, you aren't intruding." Ava said as we ate breakfast together in my apartment.

"Yeah but what if I am? Like if she has plans with people right now or she's working?" I sighed.

"You are people, you have a date today—I think you forget that." Ava said in a matter f fact tone. "Plus, if she is, it gives you time to play with her cat," Ava smiled.

I thought for a moment, "You're right," I sighed.

"Of course I am," Ava rolled her eyes. "I only expect details in return." She said taking her plate off to the sink.

"Don't I always give you details after?" I asked sarcastically and she chuckled lightly in agreement to my words.

"How are you and Felix?" I asked her softly.

"Not good," she shook her head. "he doesn't drink but he's drinking and we hardly talk. I'm thinking of moving out, maybe get my own place because it's like I'm living with a stranger." She sighed.

It truly did suck that they were going through it at the moment because when I met them, they seemed so happy and utterly in love with each other. I also don't like seeing Ava get hurt by this.

"Whatever you decide Ava, I'll be right next to you," I sent her a smile and she smiled back before coming over to give me a hug.

"Thank you B," she said softly. "you're really the only person who I can talk to about this, Ella gets sick of it pretty quickly and I just had so much to get off my chest and you helped me. Thank you." She said.

I hugged her back too. "Always," I smiled.

She stepped back and I went back to drying my hands properly. "Go to her house and give me details tonight!" Ava said.

I agreed and ordered my Uber before leaving downstairs. The whole ride to her place I was anxious. She had said to come over in the morning but she never gave me a time. It was only seven and I'm worried she'd busy. Maybe she isn't even awake yet.

I got out of the car and walked up her driveway and took a breath before I rang her doorbell. My palms were all sweaty and I was nervous, even though I had nothing to be nervous over.

Five minutes went by and nothing. Maybe she's out?

I rang the doorbell once more and decided if it didn't open this time I'd leave. I could hear Loki barking on the inside so I waited a few more minutes and just when I thought I should go, her door unlocked.
