'Without him, she knew everything would be a disaster'

'Ava,

I miss you . I know nine year old me knows nothing about properly missing someone but it's true. I do miss you.

I hate this feeling. Please come visit me. Or I can go to you. I just wanna see my best friend again

- Andy'

Ava picked up the photo that was attached to the letter and smiled. The two nine year olds were smiling and laughing. Andy had his arm around Ava's shoulder while Ava had a spade in her left hand.

"Ava" her mother called. She wiped a tear away from her face and hid the photo and letter under her pillow.

"Yes mum?" She said as her mother opened her door.

"Your sister has got a rehearsal tonight so you're gonna be home alone."

She nodded. Her mother left and Ava got the photo and letter out. She pulled her memory box onto her lap and put the two back in the cardboard box.

"I wish you were here."

"C'mon Ava, let's go out tonight! You're home alone!" Her friend Willow said through the phone.

"I know, but you know I hate socialising and that."

"Ava, just calm down. Everything will be fine. I'll be there with you."

Ava sighed. She wished that Jack was there. He would tell her not to go and they'd spend the night, watching Disney films.

"Fine. But that means we have to go to London next week."

"Fine."

Ava ended the call and threw on a big hoodie. She searched through her wardrobe to find a black skintight dress. She pulled out some black heels that were hidden at the bottom of her wardrobe and put them both on her bed.

There was a knock on the door and Ava groaned.

"It's open" she shouted. Willow let herself in and ran upstairs. She opened Ava's bedroom door and looked at the dress that laid on the bed.

"Wow."

Ava turned around and stared at her best friend.

"Willow?"

Willow snapped out of her trance and picked up the dress.

"Put it on" she said as she shoved the dress into Ava's hands. Ava rolled her eyes. She walked to the bathroom and change into the skin tight dress.

"Willow, I don't know if this is, you know, me."

"Come out and let's have a look."

The girl walked out of the bathroom and looked at her friend.

"You look hot."

Ava blushed and put her shoes on.

"This is gonna be a disaster."
