~~Avery~~

INTRO:

"Hey baby," I say

"Hi handsome" she replies "The baby is asleep, can you get the girls started?" she asks

"Yep" I reply, and she heads up the stairs whilst I take Ava to the kitchen

"How was your day Ava baby," I ask

Grayson's P.O.V

I DROP MY PHONE onto the couch beside me, and I sigh placing my head in my hands

"No luck?" Louis asks beside me, I'm at his house, his 'wife' has gone out to run some errands so he is left with his kids, a 3-year-old son and a 1-year-old daughter.

I have been crashing on their couch ever since that night, Louis and his wife have been kind to me, and I am lost without her. I know I hurt her so bad, and I can't do anything about it"

"Nope" I half-growl and watch his daughter Ayla run around

"I'm sure she will call back," he says "Ayla baby come here" he then says and she runs to him and jumps into his arms, he blows little raspberries on her belly and she giggles.

"No she won't, I've blown it Lou" I reply and my heart sinks watching Louis with Ayla, she reminds me of my little Lola.

"Just message her"

"And say what, she's been avoiding me for over a week, she won't pick up my calls, answer my texts, Billie won't talk to me, I miss her, I miss my girls," I say

"What do you want to do then," he says to me

"Nothing, this is my fault" I reply, and I pull out my phone, messaging her 'please, call me, I love you - gray'

"Give her time mate"

"I will, I'm just not sure how much I can wait," I say but we get interrupted by Sarah his wife, walking through their front door with Chinese food for lunch

"Honey- I'm home" she calls out chuckling and I am instantly reminded of how Avery would come home and greet me, Louis stands up to help her, and I grab Ayla

"I missed you," he says smiling

"Me too" she replies smiling kissing his cheek

...

"And what else did you do Saskia?" I ask my 3 year old who just woke up from a spontaneous nap, she took as soon as she got home from daycare

"I got to use the colouring book and I coloured inside the lines!" she exclaims

"Oh really, I am so proud of you," I say to her and I hear a car pull up in the driveway, Avery's home! I hear the car door open and I walk Saskia into the kitchen and I place her on her seat
