A couple of days later it was the day of the funeral during my stay in Greece I have been staying at my grandparents home Yatesy had been staying in a hotel near by I was sitting on the patio listening to mockingbird by Eminem with tears in my eyes it's hard not to sing too, I look up after feeling a tap on my shoulder it was Anthony I pull out my headphones "are you ready" I nod standing up I'm not really.
Meanwhile back in Australia Jesse's POV
I wonder how Ava's doing I've been trying to distract myself with work but it isn't working I haven't heard anything from Ava since the day she said her mum was stable it's been Yatesy who has been informing us. It was a hour before knock off when the phone goes H answers "hello Bondi Lifeguards...oh hi mate...yeah I'll get him for you" he turns in the seat "Jake get Hoppo tell him it's Yatesy" H talks to him until Hoppo took over.
"What's up mate is everything ok" he sounded worried "Kris are you alright..take the time off you need to be with your daughter is she ok.. that's understandable...I'll tell him... someone will fetch you bye mate " Hoppo puts down the phone and turns to me, "Jess Ava's mum died two days ago" that can't be right.
"Ava said she was stable yesterday, is she ok?".
"Nina's condition worsened in a matter of minutes Yates said she had been ill for sometime with a brain trauma nobody knew, so Ava is taking out her anger on everyone".
"Poor girl" H says I don't know what to say all I want to do is hold Ava and not let go I tear forms.
"A lot has happened to her" someone else comments
"When are they back?" I ask
"Tomorrow, it's just Ava and Yatesy coming home he asked if someone would pick them up from the airport".
"I'll go" Reidy says "Jess you come too it will be good for Ava" I nod
"I'll go too" Box says.
Avery POV
We were waiting outside the church Yatesy was on the phone "sorry grandma I can't be here anymore" I say in Greek, I spoke to Yatesy yesterday about going home "I love you and papa but this place isn't the same without" I couldn't finish my sentence as tears flood my eyes my grans arms crush me in a hug."Oh Avery I love you too I understand, whose he on the phone too".
"Work" I noticed that my gran and the rest of my family get on with my dad I mean Yatesy apart from my grandpa but he seems to be warming up to him.
He soon got off the phone "sorry Ava and Penelope I was just talking to my boss" he turns to my gran "I want you to know I loved your daughter" she gives him a hug and says something to him he smiles.
The service was lovely considering it was last minute the flowers were white Roses everything was her favourites. As the service went on I found out my mum had planned it. Through out the whole thing I translated with some help from Anna I don't know why people are so surprised when I speak Gre
Once we were out of the church people kept coming to me saying I'm sorry for your loss then mums best friend Gabby spotted us and came over to me "I'm sorry Avie" I only knew who half of these people were because Anna filled me in each time the came in our direction , only one person calls me Avie and that's not her I hold my tongue, last night I promised Yatesy I wouldn't scream at anyone else after my little melt down I know he can see I could quite easily blow up but smiles in relief when I don't then she turns to him and speaks in English "so you're the father" she smiles and he nods as she shakes his hand I can tell he feels awkward "your just as she described".
"Thank you" she also nearly fainted when he spoke I can't help but roll my eyes.
"No wonder you fell for you Kristian your not like Christian Grey are you?" Yatesy almost choked Anna chuckles.
"No I'm not rich" she walks away "could you smell the alcohol on her Jesus" he says as the priest was behind him "sorry" he says sheepishly and the priest tuts and says something "that's why I don't go to churches" he laughs "what did he say"?
"That you should learn respect" I laugh as Anna translates.
"I hope you don't know who Christian Grey is girls" we both look at each other and laugh.
"How do you know who he is?" He stays silent "exactly don't ask the question unless you want to share your answer".
