Luxe's POV
Ava is sitting in the living room watching Disney Channel while I clean up our dinner. She left the room a mess, but I'm used to being the only kid in the family who actually helps out.
The doorbell rings and Ava runs to get the door. "Adam!" She exclaims and he picks her up in a hug.
"Hey, cutie! Having fun with Luxe?" Adam said to Ava with a smirk on his face.
Ava giggled back in response. "Are we taking about the same person? But don't worry. Now you're here. Come watch TV with me!" She jumped down and dragged Adam into the living room.
"Take these bags upstairs to my room for later." Adam said to Nova and she took them, heading to the bedroom. I watch her scurry away and imagine about a dozen things that they could be hiding in there. Especially because I remember hearing them mention an ID.
Adam grabbed a bag of Cheetos and Ava saved a seat for him on the sofa. When Nova came back downstairs, went and cuddled with both Adam and Ava and she turned Moana on.
But do I go and sit with them? Hell no. I grab my sketchbook and head upstairs. While drawing my next tattoo, I hear 'the gang' laughing downstairs so I decide to text Ash.
Luxe: Hey, Nova and Adam are home and they're doing annoying couple things again. Ava is watching tv with them and they all look like one happy family. Ew. What are you up to?
It takes him a couple of minutes to respond.
Ash: Things are not going too well at home right now. My dad is pissed and drunk, as usual.
Luxe: What's going on? Are you okay?
And he doesn't answer.
But I do get another text, a message that I was definitely not expecting.
