Avery could not will herself to leave her house, ever since her mother's body was taken away, she couldn't clean, move from that spot she found herself. She could do nothing but just sit and stare in the dark room. The sunlight would pour in sometimes but it didn't help how she was feeling.She didn't cry again, she couldn't. She was so lost and alone, staring into space thinking about the tikes when she could've done something with her life but she didn't. She thought back to Davide, thought about how his back looked when he walked out on her, she thought about the confusion that had been imprinted on his face. She couldn't forget how he had blamed her for what happened to her child.She felt life was really quite funny. The people she had tried to hang on to eventually left her. She had tried all kinds of techniques by listening to the ones around her. Some people told her to hang on tightly, she took the advice, to a point where she started to feel that she was hanging on a bit too
Davide made sure he was seeing clearly by looking again. He was speechless when she stopped in front of him glaring at Avery. He couldn't begin to guess what had brought her here to this place, he was caught off guard and it was very profound because he had not told her beforehand that he was coming to see Avery. He felt like he had been caught cheating. "What are you doing here?" She asked, she didn't hide her contempt for Avery.Davide cleared his throat, he wondered if he should introduce the two women but this wasn't the first time they were meeting each other."Avery lost her mom," Davide said.Cassie's countenance changed slightly, she looked at Avery and finally saw what had been so different about the woman.She was frail looking, she looked nothing like the slim thick woman she had been slightly jealous of. The woman who never looked her worst, always in designers clothes and heavy makeup. Thisnwas the first time she was seeing Avery with her bare face and her mouth shut.Ca
Avery froze when she heard that question from Cassie. She didn't know what to say but certainly she had an answer for Cassie. She thought she didn't in any way deserve Cassie's trust. She was the one who had out Cassie's mother in the hospital, so why would she even for a second think that she was worthy of Cassie's trust.And also, she was well aware that if Cassie came to find out about the truth, then surely she wouldn't think that Avery was so trustworthy."You cannot". Avery said.Cassie was shocked, this was the first time that she had asked that question and had gotten a reply like that. She had friends, she had people that her relationship with then started from that single question and she thought it would be the same thing for Avery.Normally, she would ask: "can I trust you?" And they would proceed to reply with "sure, you can'' or "I don't know, can you?"Neither has a response been so direct, so truthful, so full over emotion, so filled with regret.She looked over at Ave
Cassie got serious, she adjusted in her car and then looked around to the people who were with her."An address came to my phone" she said, "it said I would find the person who tried to kill my mother there".Avery's heart skipped a beat. If she had been holding a glass of anything, that glass would've fallen down, scattered, never could it be glued together again.She didn't need a professor to let her know that those people had discarded her. Since she didn't have anybody they could threaten her with, now they wanted to do away with her. Avery wanted to laugh, she shook her head slightly, her mother left her, her daughter did and now even these people wanted to leave her. Avery felt like she was no different from a used tissue, once she had served her purpose, she was thrown away into a waste bin.This was the waste bin she had found herself. She was also kind of happy that they didn't try to kill her, rather they wanted someone else to send her to prison. "And of course I didn't
I don't care," Avery said, "I don't care if I die, I have nothing, I have no one in this world anymore. I only bring pain so yes, let them exterminate me. I have lived a fulfilling life".Mr Lee's heart lurched at those words. He was the only one other than Avery who had ever found himself at that place in life where he couldn't bother himself to stay alive, the time where he had just left the hospital. Then it had dawned on him that his mother would prefer that he was dead. At that time, he actually wanted to die, he didn't know what he was staying alive for. His family didn't want him, life was too hard, nothing was going his way. He really wanted to die and get it over and done with.He related quite well with what Avery was feeling and he pitied her because he knew how hard it must've been on her to make that decision that she didn't care. She was being brave but also very suicidal. He recalled the conversation he had with Davide, looking at her, he could see the shadow of that wo
Cassie had not been expecting that Davide would suddenly ask her that question and especially at a time that really wasn't conducive. They had just more or less had a slight misunderstanding, they were still regulating being a couple. This was the first relationship she had ever been in. And although for Davide it was different, he had even been married but this was all new to her.She had had flings in the past, she had had one night stands but never a relationship. She loved Davide, truthfully. She had always loved him and when he came back into her life, it had been an earth shattering effect on her. She did imagine how it would be like to get married to Davide but it was still so soon. It was too soon for her. "I know you might think that I'm crazy that I'm making a very hasty decision but if everything goes south with this then i want to have the experience of being married to you before I die" Cassie shook her head, "you're not going to die." She had wanted to deflect, probabl
The car ride was silent. But it was mainly because they both just got in. Avery wanted to say a lot of things to him but they mostly just circled around the words: "Thank you".She didn't know where to begin, his eyes were on the road as he drove, she wondered if she was the only one feeling this way. It wasn't so hard to guess that he was just being nice, he just pitied her. Though she felt that maybe it was more than that, maybe there was something else but she couldn't really say. She didn't know how to start the conversation. She didn't know how to start telling him thank you.Mr Lee however was more nervous than she was. He was sweating in places he didn't think existed. His heart was beating very fast and he was surely in need of a conversation.He wanted to talk to her about what happened, however, he was worried that maybe she would get the wrong idea, it was mainly that he wanted to talk about when the depression started, when she started to feel like there was nothing holdin
It did not cross Avery's mind that that was a question she should be asking a perpetrator who was clothed in black clothes. She was, however, anxious and also very scared. The physique of the person was tiny, they looked short and for some reason very curvy.Avery kept scrutinizing the person as the two of them stayed in the same position, eyes focused on the other. Avery wss unrelenting, she was not going to back down, she had been trying her hardest to atone for her sins and now that it seemed she really didn't need atonement the least she could do was give back what she had taken. But this person was going to rob her of that chance.It was highly impossible that Avery was going to let them.The person's eyes darted around the room, possibly looking for an opportunity to escape, but it was unlike it seeing that the room was messy and the only way that they would be able to escape was to jump over heaps of clothes or maybe fly, and it was very impossible that the person could fly.Av
