I SAID I NEEDED SPACE~ CHAPTER 4:

~~I need space~~

INTRO:

"Michael and I were talking, and we think we want to move out of the apartment into something bigger-" she starts off

"Oh," I say cutting her off and I feel my heart drop

"Cam down Aves, we want you to come with us!"

"Really!?" I ask

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

I LOOK AT MYSELF in the mirror and I fake a smile, and my once bright eyes are still dull but at least I look healthy and alive now. I walked down the stairs, slinging my purse over my shoulder, I found a denim skirt when I was rummaging through Billie's clothes, they with her jeans.

To be honest, I can't remember the last time I wore a skirt. I then found a white oversized sweatshirt in the bottom of my duffle bag, so tucked it into the skirt, I then turned to my dirty white tennis shoes, which I should probably wash and I lace them up

"Are you ready to go?" Billie says her back turned to me

"Yeah," I say she turns to around, and I half-smile

"Wow, you look really pretty," she says and a memory shocks my system knocking the breath out of me

...

I look at myself in the mirror and I run my hands down my body, examining myself, and I think I look cute. I rarely dress up in anything nice anymore since I have 3 little girls that make so much mess you wouldn't believe it.

Grayson has organised a little late for us tonight, we have no kids and neither of us are working so we have taken this opportunity to go out.

"Are your eyes closed?" I called out to him, I'm wearing a new dress and a denim jacket. Billie and Ally helped me pick them out when we were shopping last week.

"Yes love" he replies and I peek my head out of the door and down the stairs, where Grayson has his back turned to me, and I giggle, stepping into the hallway

"I'm coming down now," I say to him, and I skip down the stairs, when I reach the bottom, I wrap my arms around him, kissing his cheek. He turns around and looks at me, his eyes trailing my body.

"Wow, you look really pretty Avie," he says scooping my in his arms

"Yeah" I whisper to him

"You look amazing my love," he says kissing my neck spinning me around

...

"Are you okay?" Billie then says slowly, putting a hand on my shoulder.

"I uh don't know, but I have 3 girls that need their mother" I reply to her and she softly smiles

"Okay then," Billie says and she grabs my hand "Let's go, we have so much to buy," she says and my phone vibrates again, and it's a text from Grayson
