Ava POV
As I walk back to the apartment after coming from the grocery store, my mind immediately go to sara. It may be cliche or whatever, but she's always on my mind. She the first thing I think of when I wake up and and the last thing I see before I fall asleep. I finally reach "our" apartment in DC and I take my keys out fiddling with it a little before I get it right. Finally, I found the right one and I unlock the door, as I go to the kitchen and I put down the groceries, I soon realized that the apartment is quieter than usual. I call Sara's name a few times, but doesn't hear any response so I figured she may have gone back to the shop or something. I walk up the stairs and hear the shower running, that's when I realized that Sara's been here the entire time, I feel stupid because now that I think about she would have texted me to say that she wasn't going to be home when I get back. Anyways, I'm brought out of my thoughts when I hear a soft sound coming from the bathroom....I press my ear up against the door to make sure I heard it correctly and wasn't going crazy. Suddenly I hear the words.... "I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I'm not enough
Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up
Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low
Remind me once again just who I am because I need to know
Ooh oh
You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
And you say I am held when I am falling short
And when I don't belong, oh You say I am Yours
And I believe (I)
Oh I believe (I)
What You say of me (I)
I believe
The only thing that matters now is everything You think of me
In You I find my worth, in You I find my identity
Ooh oh
You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
And you say I am held when I am falling short
And when I don't belong, oh You say I am Yours
And I believe (I)
Oh, I believe (I)
What You say of me (I)
Oh, I believe
......as I listen to the words and the beautiful voice singing it, I realized not just that Sara's an AMAZING singer, but also that the words almost fit her perfectly...almost as if they were hers. I walk away from the door, still deep in thought and just went to sit on the bed waiting for her to come out. Thoughts swarm my mind as I think back to the words of the song and it breaks my heart that I didn't realize how she's been hurting, I didn't even realize that I had been crying until I felt a hand on my shoulder and as I I looked up,saw Sara staring back at me with such concern and love that it only made me want to cry more. I couldn't take it anymore so I turned away and played with the thread at the bottom of my shirt. Then I hear...
Sara- " what's wrong babe?" " is everything ok?" "Did something happen?" " "Talk to me, pls"...it was all said really quickly but I still managed to understand it...I couldn't speak, I just opened my mouth and closed then I opened it again but once again nothing came out.
Sara- " it's ok, you don't have to say anything, hold on, I'm going to get some clothes to change in then we can talk, ok?"
I just nodded, still not making eye contact. After about 5 minutes, Sara came back in the room, sat on the bed and took my hand. I flinched, I hadn't even heard her come back in the room.
Sara- "hey, hey, relax it's just me,ok?"
I nodded.
Sara- "ok babe, talk to me....what's wrong?"
