Stay With Me

Chapter 11

"Always remember if someone's pushing you away, 
that's when the person needs you the most."

-------------------------------

"You know what I regret the most in entire sixteen years of my existence?" I questioned Sarah as we together headed towards school gates, I then looked at her she looked puzzled at my question nonetheless answered.

"Um maybe not knowing how to save candies and chocolates from your brothers?" She answered but it sounded more like a question. Clueless like always!

I face palmed myself. What is wrong with my best friends? Gosh!

"Sarah, you know what?" I started then observed her face and mumbled "Never mind!" Today I was not in the mood to have any nonsensical talk with her or anyone. She gave me her famous deadly look, if it was any other day, I would probably be sprinting for my life but not today.

All night I couldn't sleep properly, and I was probably looking like a freaking zombie. I couldn't drive my precious Bella to school today because if I did then today would've been my last day on this planet, so Sarah being a sweetheart agreed to pick me up and drive me to school.

"AVA ABIGAIL MARIE RICHARDSON!" Fuck! Owen's voice boomed in the halls of school, I looked at him and what I saw made me ran away for my life from there, but Sarah held me tightly. Double shit!

There they were, Ian and Owen both looking like they are ready to kill anyone who came in their way... I'm in deep trouble!

I was begging Sarah to let go but I think she was with them in this, obviously she will be you idiot! Now that I think about it, she never asked me anything this morning when she picked me up and it was because of this... She wanted me to face their wrath!

"What the fuck is wrong with you Ava? Do you fucking enjoy watching us worry?" Ian roared at me. I bowed my head down feeling ashamed.

"Do you have any idea how much we all were worried? For God's sake you could've at least dropped a message that you are fucking fine but instead what you did? You freaking turned your phone off!" This time Owen snapped.

Tears pricked my eyes as I tried my best not to cry, this was the first time they all were furious at me this much. When I thought they both were finished, Ian started again...

"You know how hard it was to keep myself from coming to your house last night! Also, when are you going to tell your parents about him?" He bellowed and as I was about to respond, he cut me off again...!

"You know what? Fucking leave it! Because clearly you don't care about us at all." How can he say something like this to me?I stared at his blurry self while tears flowed freely from my eyes.

Owen and Sarah both were trying to calm him down and I stood there rooted processing their words... Mainly his words.

"I know it was wrong on my part to not pick any of you guys' call but don't you all think you are being too much while questioning my care for you guys? Do you think I was enjoying myself last night when all I needed was her comfort and you both! It was so fucked up I even took out a cig for God's sake..."
I yelled at them but then realized what did I just said so I added in a lower voice

"Don't worry I didn't smoked though I wanted to but I couldn't break the promise I made with you guys." they were still furious but nodded and Owen smiled, a bit... well progress!

"Ave we are sorry for bursting out on you like that but please try to understand our situation too. How would you feel if one of us did something like this? I'm begging you don't shun us out next time, please!" Sarah cried.
