7:45 am

I had stayed awake the whole night, replaying everything that had happened. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't feel. I needed Ava. I was going to go to apologize to her today and talk to her about what happened last night. It was all a mistake. I felt terrible. I needed to see her.

I wanted to text her and tell her I was sorry and explain but this was something that I needed to do face to face. I miss her and it's only been a night. Every time I close my eyes, all I see is her sad eyes looking back at me with a small smile, I knew she was hurting when I drove away last night. I didn't want to leave her. I didn't want to let her go. I wanted to hold her and tell her I loved her. I knew I fûcked up.

9:30 am

I laid in my bed, still as could be. I couldn't move. I didn't want to see her sad eyes. I wanted her to always be bright and warm, never cold and empty. I need to make things right. I felt my eyes droop and I finally fell asleep.

10:30 am

I walked to Ava's house and knocked on the door, taking a breath. I was prepared to see her but instead her mother opened the door.

"Oh, hello, Mrs. Brooks, is Ava home?" I asked hopefully.

"Sorry, dear, she just left. She said she was going to a crêpe shop and I assumed it was with you."

"Thank you anyway, have a nice day, Mrs. Brooks." I smiled and turned, walking down her street. I think I knew where she was.

I walked to the crêpe shop and looked through the window. What I saw made my heartbreak and my fingers burn. I clenched my teeth in anger and watched. Ava was with Nate. Of course he would try to take her away immediately. He knows she's hurt but he's still trying to come on to her. She's vulnerable and he has no right to talk to my girl like that. How dare he try to take my girlfriend.

The last thing I saw was him playfully wink at her and I couldn't take it any longer. I walked back to her house and sat at her porch. I'm going to talk to her no matter what. He can't take her away. I love Ava. She's the one. I can't let her slip away.

3:50 pm

I was hopeful that she'd come back home soon. I waited for two hours but she still hasn't come home. I felt defeated as I thought about what I saw at the crêpe shop. I ran my fingers through my messy blond hair, a nervous habit of mine.

I couldn't take it anymore. I got up, putting my hands in my pockets and turned back towards my house. I suddenly heard my name being called. I turned around to see Ava jogging towards me.

"You can stop your shouting now. I just came here to talk but I guess it was a mistake." I said looking away, it hurt to see her with someone else.

"What are you talking about? I'm here, talk to me." She said. I want her to be mine forever.

I shook my head, "I don't think you want me anymore." I don't want to break her heart.

"What are you taking about Luke? I want to be with you but you need to tell me what happened to you last night. Why did you act that way?" She said, getting more heated, raising her voice slightly.

"I don't trust that Nathan kid." I said, clenching my jaw.

"What makes you feel this way?" She said, intrigued.

"Somethings off about him. He's hiding something. He wants to take you away from me and I know it. He can't because I love you." I looked down at her and saw a hidden emotion in her expression. "I know I was an asshôle last night but I was trying to protect you. He gives me a bad feeling and I have a strong intuition about these things. I'm usually right and the whole situation seems off. He's trying to swoop in and take your heart while you're vulnerable and hurting. That's disgusting and I can't let him do this."

A look of realization came over her. "It makes sense. He said something. It was under his breath but I still caught it. He  said that you don't deserve me but he does."

I balled up my fists, "He's not going down without a fight. I'm going to put him in his place. Ava, I don't want you near him anymore. He's a bad person with ulterior motives."

"I'm still a little hurt. I need more time to forgive you completely but I understand where you're coming from. I know you want to keep me safe and happy but sometimes you hurt me without completely realizing it when it happens." She said. I looked at her and nodded. I pulled her into a hug, "I'm so sorry Ava, I want to make things right."

"That Nathan guy is going to wish he never met you."
