Finding Ava

Chapter 28

One Week Later

A week has passed by after I had that little blow up with my mother. She hasn't been over like she said but I don't care. I wouldn't have said anything if she just kept her mouth closed. All of that could've been avoided but no. She wanted to open her mouth.

I haven't spoken to Julian in a week. I guess he doesn't want to work on his attitude. I'm not going to force him to because if he wants to be a asshole then fine with me. We don't have to be together if he doesn't want to. I'm not stopping him.

We've already had the discussion so if he wants to break up then he can most definitely hit my line and break up with me.

A FaceTime call is coming through my phone and I picked it up to see who it was. Blake's name appeared on the screen. I smiled and answered the call. A few seconds later his face appears on the screen.

"Hey pretty girl." he smiles.

"Hey pretty eyes." I smiled back.

"What are you doing?"

"Laying down. What about you?"

"Babysitting the twins."

I pouted, "Aww. I wish I could be there with you. I miss you guys so much."

"We miss you too. Especially the twins. They're always asking about you." Blake says.

"I'll be back soon. Just wait on it."

I really want to go back to California so bad. I mean who doesn't? I'm so in love with the scenery.

"I'm still working on trying to come see you." Blake tells me.

"Really?" I ask.

"Yeah. It'll be cool to finally get out of Cali for once. I haven't been out of state in a few months."

"Well if you decide to come we won't be in the house all the time. I can finally get away from my grandparents."

He chuckles. In all seriousness though I need a break from them. Mainly Grandpa Edward though. He's very nagging and always trying to wake me up early. Like its the summer time. I'm trying to catch up on sleep.

Blake and I stayed on FaceTime for about an hour until Jacob came into my room to tell me that dinner was ready. I told Blake that I'll call him later and ended the call. I jumped out of bed, as I made my way downstairs to the kitchen. Grandpa Edward and Grandma Evelyn were already sitting at the table waiting for Jacob and I.

We quickly fixed our plates and sat down. We all joined hands as Grandpa Edward said grace.

"God is great, God is good. Let us thank Him for our food. Amen."

"Amen."

We all digged into our food and eat silently. This is how dinner has been going for the past week now. I don't mind the quietness between us but I didn't mean for them to not speak during dinner.

After we finished eating Jacob and I washed the dishes. I washed while he rinsed them off. We put some stuff into the dish washer because I wasn't about to wash all of those dishes.

Later that night, I was laying up in my bed watching wrestling. It was the only interesting thing on that I like so I stuck with that.

My phone makes a ding nose to signal me that I have a new message. I reached over and grabbed it off my nightstand. I looked at the screen and see Julian's name. I'm not even sure if I should reply or just ignore him. The text read, 'can we talk over the phone?' I mentally rolled my eyes and huffed.

I'm going to call him but if he says anything stupid I swear on everything I'll hang up on him. I unlocked my phone and went to my call log and hit his name to dial his number. The phone ringed about two times and he answers on the third ring.

"Hello?" his voice speaks through the phone.

"Hi." I say unsure what to say.

"What's up?"

"Not much. You?"

"Chilling."

"So..what do you want to talk about?" I jumped right into it.

"I just want to apologize for talking to you the way I did. I thought about what you said and figured that you might still be going through a lot with this new move and all that. I didn't mean to make you upset and I should've just texted you instead of just jumping down your throat. So I was hoping that you forgive me? Please?"

But it took you a week?!

I take a deep breath before I say anything. I don't want to get upset and start cussing him out. Its not worth my time right now.

"First off, let me just point out that it took you a week to fix your attitude. But let me say this." I paused. "I forgive you and I shouldn't have blew up at you like I did. I'm just having a hard time right now. Like a lot of stuff has happened and I'm just trying to adjust."

"See Ava. You could've just texted me and told me that. I would've gave you as much time you needed to yourself. I would love to help you but you never tell me everything that's going on with you." he points out.

He has a point there.

"I'm sorry. If you want to know, I can just tell you right now since we're on the phone." I tell him.

"Please. All I want to do is help."

It took me almost two hours to specifically explain everything to Julian. I told him about visiting Aaron at the jail, Jacob telling me about how our father accuses our mother for the accident and me flipping out on my mother. He laughed when I told him about that. I really don't get what's so funny about that.

I don't regret it but now that I think about what I said I kind of feel bad. I should've thought before I spoke but my mouth was on go. Most of the time I don't think before I speak. I say whatever's on my my mind. I don't care until I realize what I actually said.

Right now, I don't care if Hayden forgives me or not but I hope in the future she will. I'll apologize on my behalf but I'm only doing it if she apologizes first. Then after that I guess we'll be fine. Hopefully.

Right after I got off the phone with Julian I went to go take a shower. I wanted to get it out of the way so I don't have to worry about taking one in the morning. Grabbing my pajamas and fresh panties, I walked into my bathroom and turned the water on. I started stripping my clothes off and placed my hair up in a messy bun.

I hopped into the shower and almost slipped but I caught myself. I laughed at my clumsiness and proceeded to wash my body.

I stayed in the shower longer than I intended to. When I stepped out with my towel wrapped around me the mirror was fogged up. The atmosphere was thick as hell. I couldn't even breathe in here so I quickly walked out into my room for some fresh air.

I put my pajamas on and climbed into bed. I grabbed my phone off the nightstand and shot Yamile a quick goodnight text. After that I put my phone on the charger and went to sleep.
