Finding Ava

Chapter 16

I'm awakened by someone lightly tapping my shoulder. My eyes fluttered open to see Blake hovering over me.

"Wake up. You have thirty minutes to get ready." he says. I rolled over and almost fell off the bed but Blake caught me.

"Thanks." I laughed a little.

"No problem. Get ready." He pats my arm and leaves.

I threw the covers off of me and walked over to my suitcase, sitting down. What should I wear? I grabbed my clothes that Aaron bought for me a few days ago. There were so many tops to choose from and I didn't want to wear a dress.

After contemplating for five minutes I grabbed a pink crop top and quickly threw it on. I searched through my suitcase and found some clean leggings and threw them on.

What shoes should I wear? I'm thinking about wearing my Toms because they're easy to slip on. I quickly slipped my feet in them and walked into the bathroom.

Grabbing my toothbrush off the sink, I began brushing my teeth. I applied some foundation on my face then some lip balm. Moving on to my hair I just gave it a little brush up.

After finishing my make-up and hair I walked out of the bathroom. Taking a look at myself in the full length mirror, I was satisfied with my look and grabbed my phone off the nightstand, then made my way downstairs. Blake stood up as soon as I entered the living room.

"Bye everyone! We'll be back later." he announces. Vin walks us out and closes the door right when we made it outside. We got into the car and we were on our way.

The drive was quiet but the radio was the only sound in the car. I leaned my head against the window and began thinking about what's coming ahead of me.

Hopefully Blake's little ex girlfriend won't be there. She's lucky I don't remember her calling me a bitch but I'm pissed thinking about it. This time I'm not drinking a lot because I would like to know if I do something wrong.

I'm knocked out of my thoughts by my phone vibrating. I look down at the screen and see a text from Julian. Once I finished reading it I quickly texted him back.

About ten minutes later we pulledup to a house and my stomach sinks. For some reason I'm nervous but I know I'll be just fine as soon as we walk inside. Plus, Blake told me that Eli and the rest of the gang were going to be there as well. So I definitely knew that I was going to be fine.

We got out of the car and Blake wrapped his arm around my shoulder as we walked up to the house. To stop me from being so nervous I placed my hand on his back. He smiled down at me as we stood in front of the door and he rung the doorbell.

The door swings open revealing Nick. Fucking hell! He looks so good with that man bun.

"What's up bro? Come in." he says giving Blake a hand shake. We walk in as he steps aside.

"Hi Ava." He smiles at me. Damn even his fucking smile is insanely hot.

"Hey Nick." I smile back nervously. He guides us into I'm guessing the living room where there's some people talking and laughing, making out, eating or drinking.

We sat down on a couch where no one is sitting and Blake sits as close as he can to me. I don't mind because some of these people seem like creeps.

Nick hands us a bottle of Sierra Mist. I eagerly grab the drink from his hand and bring it up to my lips.

"I'm going to go get the rest of the guys." he tells us before walking off. We nod and I continued to sip on my drink.

"This is cool." Blake says sounding relaxed. I nod in agreement. Not too many people and no drama.
