Avani & Anthony

73

still avani's pov

*a week later

it's been 2 weeks since anthony and i broke up. i showered yesterday and i have been eating more now. i leave my room. that's a change. i am not better but i want to live. i want to reach out to anthony. but i feel like i shouldn't..

i text anthony. i gave in. i need him. i just want him. only him.

av-hey, can we talk?

i send the message then i freak out. shit i just did that. what if he leaves me on read or has a new girl. i message jaden. he's like an older brother to me but he probably hates me right now.

av- hey jaden

i send that then i freak out again. jaden messages me back immediately.

j- if it's about anthony. he is alive and fine. no he has not gotten with another girl and he missed you. a lot.

jaden knows me too well. aw but ant misses me. this has been the longest 2 weeks of my life.

av- thanks jaden, sorry to ask you.

j- np you're my little sister

i smile at jaden's text then i see a notification that anthony responded. i get butterflies. i take a deep breathe then i am getting a facetime call from him. i answer it of course.

it connects and i see anthony's face appear on my screen. i secretly smile. i missed his face. i try to act fine.

"avani." he starts. "i'm sorry." he says to me first. "anth-" he interrupts me.

"look, i messed up and i put myself into a situation that was in too deep over my head and i thought we needed space but i really learned that i was wrong. these past weeks have been the worst weeks of my life. when you messaged me, i smiled for the first time in too long. so look i messed and i was wrong and if nothing works, can we at least be friends? i need you avani." anthony explains. i deeply sigh.

"anthony. i.." i am speechless. i feel like someone is blocking all of my words. i sit there speechless looking at him. "avani?" he asks me. i stare at him on my screen. my eyes fill with water, my vision blurs up.

i try to speak again, not comes out. "nothing?" anthony gets annoyed. "i- i." i stutter. "i love you." something finally comes out. wait woah. i didn't mean to say that but it's true. i guess i really needed to say that.

"i love you too." anthony says to me. i wipe away tears from my cheek and give him a toothless smile. "can i come over? like now?" he asks me. i nod slightly. "please." i say to him. i need him. i need to feel his touch.

"anthony." i stop him before he hangs up. "i need you. and i know i sound clingy and shit but i don't care. i fucking love you and when we broke up i haven't been able to think straight since and i know i'm too attached but anthony i need you." i cry as i explain everything. i look back up at my screen and see anthony getting into his car. damn that was fast. "i just want to hug you in my arms so badly right now. i will be there in 10." anthony says to me. i nod.

"ok. i love you." i say to him. i feel a weight slowly being lifted from my shoulders. "i love you more. see you soon baby." he says to me. i smile and he hangs up. i turn and look at the picture frame of us on my bedside table and just cry. not necessarily sad tears but like relief and i don't know... everything.

i sit up and wipe my face. i then realize i threw my promise ring. shit. i need to find it. i sit up and i become dizzy. woah. i watch my world spin. i close my eyes tightly and reopen them. a little better. but overall not good. i just decide to lay back down. i will explain what happened to ant-

"hi." anthony storms into my room. a gust of wind comes flowing in with him. i look at his face and feel a large amount of relief. he closed my door, takes off his shoes, and right as he is getting into bed stops he reaches down and grabs something. i look at him to see what he has.

"i think you dropped this." he says holding up the promise ring. i sigh. "i think i did." i say to him. he nods and slides it back into my finger. it feels right. anthony sits in bed with me. i hug him. tightly. i love him so much.

i think back to a few days ago and how much i hated myself for living anthony because i really didn't know if i would get him back and all i wanted was him and now that i have him. it does feel real.

anthony and i cuddle for the rest of the day. this boy really can change my entire mood. i really don't know what i would do with him.
