Unexpected (Avi Kaplan)

My Heart Is Broken

Ivy's POV

"We can always cancel the meet and greet."

"Yeah all we care about right now is that you get better."

I slowly looked up between Scott and Mitch without a word. Shaking my head, I turned over so my back was to them and pulled the covers up to my chin. I hadn't felt that great since we got to Paris, and it seemed everyone else noticed too.

"I'm fine," I mumbled, deciding it was best not to look at them so they couldn't read the lies behind my eyes. Or rising in the back of my throat. I bolted out of the hotel bed and to the bathroom, slamming the door hut behind me for the third time that morning. I let out a small sigh and flushed the contents down the toilet before slowly getting up and washing my mouth out.

I tightened Avi's hoodie around me and slowly walked out, lazily crawling back into bed. "Are you cooking? I mean that's the third time today and it's not even noon," Mitch said as he sat on the bed next to me.

I slowly shook my head. For the past 24 hours, I had been mainly hanging around the duo, and occasionally Kirstie, but I steered clear of Avi and Kevin as much as possible. Scott and Mitch thought it was morning sickness but they didn't realize how wrong they were. "Go. You're gonna be late and I'll be fine," I said quietly, snuggling underneath the covers again.

"We'll be back as soon as possible," Scott said and motioned for Mitch to follow. He was more reluctant, but soon follow and moments later, I heard the door click shut, leaving me to my thoughts.

I didn't know what I was going to do when they found out the truth. What Avi was going to do when he found out. Him leaving me wasn't a pleasant thought, but it was one that wouldn't stop plaguing my mind. He was so happy when I first told him. I didn't want to think of the fact that this could crush him as much as it had me.

The threats hadn't stopped which didn't help matters, but it seemed he knew what was going on since he kept taunting me about it. They all knew about the messages, but I always lied when it came to what they were exactly about, always saying I didn't know.

I woke up to the sound of several voices coming into the room, followed by, "Shhh."

I slowly sat up, not hiding the fact that I was awake and looked over to find the entire group looking at me. "I'm fine," I lied as I sat back against the headboard.

"Are you sure you're not cooking?" Mitch asked me as he crossed his arms. I don't know why, but something inside me snapped and I lost it.

"As me one more time and I'll kick your scrawny ass," I snapped, pointing directly at the brunette.

"Mood swings, check," Scott said, pretending to be checking off an imaginary list.

"Are you?"

I looked over at Avi, narrowing my eyes. "Same goes for you." Without another word, I threw the covers off me and walked out, not bothering to change clothes o grab my room key. I didn't stop until I reached the lobby and sat down in a chair, curling up and staring out the window.

I may have been a bit harsh, but it irritated me that they kept asking the same questions after I gave them a very clear answer. The ding of the elevator across the room caught my attention, and I looked over out of curiosity only to find Esther already making her way towards me.

I stood up abruptly and backed up towards the door. "I don't wanna talk." I turned and walked out, still very aware that I didn't have any shoes on. I glanced around for only a brief moment before breaking out in a jog down the sidewalk. I only stopped when I was completely out of breath and heaving. I pushed a hand through my hair as I took in my surroundings, seeing the Eiffel Tower not far from me.
