Chapter 8-LA

AVA'S POV

"So, it's the last one then?" Calum asks.

"Yep." Ash says as he opens the 4th DVD case and put it in the DVD. Just as we had started the film, my phone played text tone, the opening rap of 'starships' by Nicki Minaj, and it vibrted. Everyone stared at me.

"Back in a sec..." I whisper and tiptoe out quietly but i cringe when the living room door creaks. I unlock my phone and see it's from Mathew. Maybe I can finally find out what's wrong...

Mathew: hiya! happy birthday! ;)

EMILY'S POV

Me and Red are giggling about a tweet that Jack Barakat from All Time Low tweeted, when we hear Ava sniffle and the door creaks open. Our heads shoot up to her. Her eyes are red and puffy.

"What's wrong Mini-Irwin LumpySpacePrincess?" Red asks.

She just whimpers and I hold my arms out so she can have a bestie hug. Ava burries her head in my chest and tries to cry quietly but ends up in a shaky wreck. I feel so bad, and if I don't even know what's wrong.
