We pulled into the drive way and mom just dropped us off. Something about having to get back to the hotel room.
"So what's the plan" Zion asked as he grabbed my hand without a cast on to hold it.
"What do you mean?" I laughed as he swung our arms back and fourth
"Well it's your "homecoming" so whatcha wanna do" he smiled and I laughed
"We don't have to do anything" we were almost inside "just being here makes me happy"
"I think I have an idea" he smiled and stopped walking. Then quickly grabbed out his wallet and keys from pocket
"What're you Doing" I laughed as I stopped with him and he handed the keys and wallet to me
"Go to the store...use MY CARD. Buy every food you can imagine and want. Doesn't matter what it is and then come home" he began running inside
"Zion I have my own money"
"Well if you use your own money I won't do this surprise and I'll never talk to you again sooooo...you decide" I sighed and shook my head. I went over to his car and started it. What was happening? This was so random but definitely like Zion to do something like this.
But I drove to the nearest target and as I turned the car off my phone began to ring. It was an unknown number.
"Hello?" I said as I picked the phone up and took the key out of the engine but still waiting in the car to find out who this was.
"Hey...uh Avery?" The voice was the last person I wanted to hear. I stayed silent and all you could hear was breathing on the other line "Avery?" The voice went again. Tears formed in my eyes as I squeezed them tightly shut. Praying this was some dream, but I let out a weep revealing that I was indeed on the other like "are you okay?"
       "What do you want" my voice was shaky, they hesitated on the other line.
      "I don't want the way our last conversation ended to be our last conversation"
      "Are you dense" i yelled at him. I finally get to let out everything in my heart because there was no one around. There was no cafe shop people and I didn't need to care about embarrassing myself.
      "Avery-"
     "SHUT UP LUKE" i screamed as i punched my steering wheel with my good hand.  Saying his name gave me a queasy feeling
      "There is no reason to yell at me"
      "Oh REALLY?! REALLY?! you wasted four years FOUR DAMN YEARS OF MY LIFE. I promised myself every year that if you didn't change I would leave you. But you never changed and I always stayed ALWAYS FOR YOU. I THOUGHT WE HAD SOMETHING. I thought you loved me"
      "Avery I did love you" he silently said from the other line
      "You have a AWFULLY weird way of showing it then" I laughed to myself. As flashes of him hitting me began to come back and I felt my chest tighten up
      "How?! I gave four years of my life to you, and you wanna say I wasn't a good boyfriend"
     "YOU ARE AN IDIOT. You- I cried myself to sleep and have MANY issues BECAUSE OF YOU. YOU"
     "Issues? Like what?"
     "What is wrong with you" my voice cracked as I broke "you beat me up. YOU beat up a GIRL."
     "Boys will be Boys"
      "You did not- NO THEY WONT BECAUSE MY BOYFRIEND TREATS ME WITH RESPECT AND LOVES ME. Something you'll never understand you selfish lying piece of-" I was cut off by the call ending. I didn't even go into target. I just drove home. I wanted to be near no one and be alone.
