Smoke & shadows

I wake up and I can feel me head pounding with pain . Then I remembered what happened last night and I sit up straight . Jason is sitting at a chair at the foot off my bed .

" Ava are you okay? How do you feel ?" He asks sitting on the edge of my bed
" my head hurts a bit but I feel okay "I say I can hear stuff happening down stairs and I can feel my self getting scared again .
" it's Tate and Alice I'm not sure what there doing but they've been up for about 30 minutes " Jason says

I nod "Jason did you see her ?" I ask
He looks at me blankly
" Jason she was here in this house she locked me in the bathroom she threw me down the stairs and she wouldn't let me move she tried to hand Alice " I say I can feel my self tearing up and Jason moved closer to me and put his hand on my shoulder . I scream and jump out off bed  Jason stairs at me terrified
" Jason I'm sorry but after what I just told said you must understand why I'm fucking scared and freaked out Jason you believe me right , you have to believe what happened " I shout

"Look Ava you need to understand how hard this is for everyone to believe okay , getting told your dead ex is haunting your new girlfriend is hard to believe " he says standing up and walking over to me
"Girlfriend?" I ask smiling
" yes " he smiles back then kissing me . I felt safe . I could feel a sharp pain in my back then I realised I could feel a lot of pain all over my body . I break away and I can feel a really sharpe pain on my legs I look down and there all black and blue and cut up .

" fuck " Jason said
" do you fucking believe me now " I say I started to walk down stairs towards to the living room and I seen Tate in the kitchen
" hey you I didn't expect you to stay here all night " I say
" well someone had to take care of Alice when Jason was watching you sleep " he said laughing
" you can't take something seriously can you ?" I say watching him going through my freezer and taking out ice he turns around and faces me and I start laughing as it's the first time I've seen him since I hit him and he's got a cut face .

" love your face babe it suits you " I say laughing
" love your legs princess did Jason do that " he said laughing walking out the room
I go to the living room were Alice is on the couch and Tate is holding ice to her head
" wow your nice " I say
"Well you would have gotten to know me better but well Jason " he says
" look you slept with his girlfriend I guess move then once you can't take to me about sleeping with Jason " I shout
" you slept with Jason , you fucking slept with him " he says walking towards me . He was all up in my personal space
" well I like Jason " I say in defence . Tate makes me feel weak .
" yeah and I was in love with Amber , there I said it I loved her more then Jason ever did so your 'well I like Jason' doesn't sit with me " he says I stay silent and he gets closer.
" you can't lie , you like me to don't you princess " he says touching my hair .
"Tate stop , please " I say he puts his hands on my face and doesn't say anything . He leans in a kisses me . I know it was wrong but I didn't stop him he breaks away .
" Tate I'm not doing this with you anymore " I say walking away then my house phone goes I answered

"Hello" I say the other end of the line was silent
" hello , who is this " I say again
" he loves me , he loves me " the person says
" I burnt my diary its personal because he loves me " it says
" Amber ?" I say looking at Tate he looks shocked then it goes dead
" Ava what the fuck " he says stepping towards the phone and taking it out my hands he try's to find to number but there was none .
" what the hell " I say staring at the phone
" are you sure your not like fucking mental " Tate says getting pissed
" you heard the fucking phone rings you as-" I say but the phone rings again I pick up
