It had been 5 years ever since she broke up with me, I was was now 25 with a stable paying job as an architect and she was a famous 24 year old singer.
I honestly still don't know why I still think about her.
FLASHBACK...
I just remember texting and calling her one night in college and she was on tour somewhere in America and she just wouldn't reply, I texted and called her days after that and still no reply.
Then one day she finally called back..
"Julian I can't do this anymore" she said and I was obviously pissed because I have been trying to contact her for months and now she decides to call what the fuck Camila.
"Okay and why couldn't you tell me this months ago when I was trying to call you!" I shouted pacing back and forth in my dorm.
"I'm sorry I just been really busy with the tour" she replied.
"Wow busy on tour we're you that busy that you couldn't even text your boyfriend for a slight minute to let him know your okay! God Camila you left me hanging for a fricken month!" I yelled "fine break up with me I couldn't care any less" but I lied I did care why didn't she talk to me for a month? I don't understand we were okay I don't know what happened.
"I'm so sorry Julian I just can't do this anymore" she replied. I could hear her start to sniffle and that was a indication that she was starting to cry.
But before I could answer she hung up the phone as I tried to call her back but she wouldn't answer so I texted her
TO: CAMILA
I don't understand why you're doing this we were okay a few months ago what happened? Please talk to me.
Now I was just sad she left me without an explanation, we've been dating for 5 months and everything was fine, I would visit her during summer and breaks. I stopped myself from partying because she didn't like it, I tried to call and text her everyday she was on tour even if I was exhausted.
After a few hours later she texted back.
FROM: CAMILA
I'm sorry but it's over please stop talking to me.
When I had finished reading the message I thought to myself what the fuck I just got dumped and it hurt so much. But if that's what she wanted then I'll give it to her even though it hurt.
A few weeks after mopping around about the break up I started to party more and sleep with different girls just to forget about her. But I didn't let that get in the way of my academics because I would've gotten in big trouble from my parents if I did, they would've cut my funds and that wouldn't be good.
END OF FLASHBACK....
that flashback was such a bad way to start off my day, out off all the things I could think of it had to be that memory.
As I was headed to work I got a text from my mom asking if I wanted to get lunch with her later and I gladly accepted, I haven't a one on one time with my mom so often because I've just been so busy with work and she's been busy with the foundation to so this would a great mother and son time.
So lunch came around and we ate at this causal restaurant nothing to fancy, as we were eating my mom asked me if I wanted to go with her to one of the foundations conferences this weekend.
"Do I have to?" I asked her because I kinda didn't want to go because it would be medical business related and I wasn't really into those things that's why I avoided being a doctor and became a architect instead.
"Oh come on Julian you're an Avery you should go to these things" she protested after taking a sip of her water.
"But mom I'm not even a doctor, how could it benefit me and why don't you ask Jackson to go he's the doctor he likes these things plus I still go to the board meetings isn't that enough??" I argued I've been going to those damn board meetings since I was 15 because one of the laws of the Harper Avery Foundation was Avery children becoming legacy board members so my and siblings and I were required to be in it.
"Jackson's busy so he can't make it and don't you dare tell me to ask James and Gabbi to go instead they've already had their turn and now it's your turn" she replied.
Darn there was no way I was getting out of this so I gave in and agreed to go with her to the conference.
"How long are we staying there and where exactly is the conference" I asked while finishing up my food
" 3 days in LA" she replied "and don't worry you'll get your own hotel room and book our flights" she added.
"Okay thank you" I told her as I looked for a waiter to ask for the check, when the waiter gave us the check my mom insisted to pay but I told her it was my treat and thanked me.
After we said our goodbyes I went back to the office and continued to work after work I headed home, it was about 6:00 pm today was Wednesday and I was leaving for LA on Friday.
That meant I had work to do.
As I was doing some work at home my sister Gabbi was calling to FaceTime so I answered it.
"Hey Gab" I said as soon as the FaceTime connected.
"I heard your going to the conference with mom this weekend" she said smiling at the camera.
"More like forced" I say while doing some work
"Well you know mom she gets what she wants".
"True but why'd you call?? You could've just texted me you know" I said looking back up at the camera.
"Is it bad that I miss my big brother and wanted to check up on him??" She questioned
"No not at all but Gab I saw you three days ago" I answered. "I know but it's so boring at the house every since you, James and Jackson moved out plus mom and dad are always out".
"Well you have friends for a reason right?" I replied
"Don't you wanna talk to your little sister??"
I sighed "Trust me as much as I want to I have lots of work to be done because of the 3 day trip I'm taking so I'm sorry if I can't talk right now"
"Okay okay I'll leave you alone"
"Okay bye love you gab" I said in relief after she hung up I got back to work had dinner and then started to pack a little so I would forget anything.
