Ava's POV

The familiar number flashed on my screen. I smiled, it had been a while.
"Hey Ed how are you?" I asked, falling back on my bed.
"I'm better than our last conversation, thanks for asking. How about yourself?"
"Meh."
"Need some Edvice." He chuckled at his own joke.
"That was terrible but yeah I do."
"I'll be over in 20 with some ice cream and a chick flick." He hung up and I laughed to myself. He knew me well, probably better than I knew myself. He was the only one who knew about my "troubled" past. He understood, and then bought me a pizza. God I love that man. He's like my other half, like if I had a twin that's who it'd be.

20 MINUTES LATER

The doorbell rang downstairs and I managed to heave myself off my bed. Damn that man was punctual.
I answered the door and he immediately wrapped his arms around me. I melted into the hug, I knew this was what I needed. I promised myself I wouldn't cry, but as I felt his touch I couldn't stop myself. I cried into his shoulder as he led me to the sofa. Placing me down gently, he slowly wiped my tears and held me until I'd calmed down.
"Are you okay now?" He asked me, rubbing his thumb on the back of my hand in a comforting gesture.
"Yeah, no, I don't know..." I admitted.
"It's okay not to be okay. It's okay to cry, even my dad does sometimes." He told me truthfully.
"I'm not okay... I saw him.. He tried to attack me.. I hated it.. When did he get let out?"
"Last week I think, not long." He said, "And I know it scared you I know Ava but you've got to be strong okay, you've been getting better don't let him ruin you. You'll be okay."
"I want to be but I don't know if I can be."
"You will be I know it.... Right okay so which movie do you want to watch?"

3 HOURS LATER

"Do you wanna come to a party" Ashton said over the phone.
"A party?"
"Yeah, it's for Mikey's birthday. You wanna come?"
"Uh sure but Ed's here?"
"Then he can come too, the more the merrier. What's your address? I'll pick you up in an hour."
I told him my address and he hung up.
"Hey Edwardo! You up for a party?"
