She was weak.
She was obedient.
She always listened.
Ava Mays was the good girl and she had the weakness of not being able to say no. She would always listen to her mother, she would do literally anything her mother asked of her.
Literally, Legitima...

Ava's POV
Don't scream Ava, Don’t scream.
Maybe she’s not actually dead.That couldn’t be true I could smell the rot coming from her body. She was dead, who knows for how long. Walking away from the horrid sight, I wondered how I was going to tell Thomas. I could still remember the hope and light in his eyes as he told me about his mother. The way his body was fidgeting around in excitement as he talked about finally being able to see her again. How was I supposed to crush that.
Taking a picture on the room, so we would know where to come back later to find her, I heastinly pulled out a flower from my headband and placed it on her chest. “Rest in Peace” I softly muttered exiting the room. I think my body was still in shock from the whole sight, for I wasn’t panicking and screaming.
Pushing the thought of her out of mind, I tried to find a way out of this passageway. All there was, is the darkness and more doors leading to who knows where, By now I think I was starting to process what I had actually seen, I started breathing in and out in huffs. In a effort to not actually start losing my mind. I looked at my phone, still no signal.
“Mo-Mom are you here, please answer it’s Th-Thomas” I hear him yell his voice trembling, I instantly ran toward his voice.
There he was,in his suit. His face a blank emotionless mask. I ran towards him as shock filtered in his eyes, reaching him I wrapped my arms around him and buried my face in the crook of his neck. He smelled the same, a faint hint of vanilla and cologne, it was calming.
“Av-Ava what are you doing here” he asked letting his arms wrap around my small frame. I started sobbing, I couldn’t do it, but I had too he deserved the truth. No matter how much hope and strength he had in his eyes, I had to tell him. He deserved that much.
“Shh calm down” He said stroking my hair “Calm down Ava your shaking” he pulled me tighter against his body, as if attempting to stop me from moving at all ‘ Tell me what’s wrong” he asked calmly his hands tangled in my hair.
“Your mother’s dead” I replied and his body immediately went cold. That was harsh, I should have put it more nicely, but I too was still in shock about the whole thing.
He immediately pulled away from me and his face that had turned ten shades paler, “what” he asked his voice hoarse. I fumbled with my words as I explained, how I had gotten lost and when trying to get out had stumbled upon her dead body. He just listened his face buried in the crook of my neck, when I finished he still hadn’t said a thing.
He was stone cold, unmoving. “Thomas we have to get her out of there” I urged, she may be dead, but I couldn’t stand the thought of leaving her in that room. “Call the guards” he mumbles, his face still buried in my neck as he spoke.
Nodding, I pulled away from Thomas, the exit was right there “Come on Thomas” I said intrewing my fingers into his. “I just want to go home” he replied following me as I dragged him outside.
Dropping his hand I walked over to one of the guards and explained what had happened, his face also turned pale as he tried not to react and went inside with the other guards trailing behind him.
Leaving the guards I walked back to Thomas he was standing there a blank look on his face. He looked like nothing was anchoring him to the world, as if he was already gone his soul and spirit had left and all there was his physical body.
“I love you”
What now. He loved me? Cupping his cheek I softly asked “You mean you love your mother right.”
He shook his head his hair falling over his eyes he replied “I loved her, but she’s gone now. I love you.”
I shook my head, denying it, he didn’t love me. Did he?
“It’s okay, you don’t have to say anything. I just want you to know I love you” he continued a soft smile on his face as he took out his phone and started calling his driver.
How could he love me? I was confused to say the least. Did I love him? How was I even supposed to know, what did love even feel like?
Spying the confused look on my face, Thomas wrapped one arm around me and pulled me closer to him, leaning his head on my shoulder he closed his eyes a exashuted look on his face. Pocketing his phone he softly said “I’m so tired. Just so tired of this world, of this pretence. I just want my mother and father, I just want to be the careless little boy I was once. To feel loved, to hear my mother sing me to sleep. Hear my father in the same room, muttering about taxes or something. I’m just so tired. I wish I was closer to my brother, my father, I wish someone cared enough about me to ask me if I was okay for once.”
He buried his face into my neck as he continued “I wish you trusted me more, I wish I could be someone you could actually love. I wish I was brave enough to have saved my mother, and hadn’t just stayed in my room trembling. That night someone took a part of my heart. When I met you, someone gave it back. Thank you for that, Ava. I wish...I wish so many things that I don’t even know anymore. But most of all I wish I was truly happy.”
And with those words, he dropped his hold around me, and got into the car.
