Travis looked taken back and he tried to come closer to me but I only shot the ground straight in front of him, not harming him but making sure he knew how serious I was.
“Where is he?” I asked again.
“He isn’t there, I swear to God shortness.” He begged, but I looked him straight in the eye and knew he was lying. And not only I knew he was lying but Travis confirmed my suspicions that he was near me.
I walked closer to Travis and watched as his face overcame with happiness but disappeared as soon as I reached him and placed the barrel of my gun on his chest.
“I will kill him Andrew, if you don’t come out now.” I hissed, resting my finger on the trigger and drowning out Traviss words. I looked around the street and didn’t find him anywhere in sight, nor did I hear a reply.
“Okay, fine.” I said in all seriousness. I turned back to Travis and looked him straight into the eye, hoping I would feel something… anything but alas I didn’t. I sighed and curled my finger around the trigger and started to pull.
“Kitten, don’t.”
Ava”s POV
“Don’t, kitten.” A voice I hoped I would never here said from behind me.
I whipped around still pointing one of my guns at Travis but watched as Andrews figure got closer and closer, until he stepped into the light.
I kept a calm face as I met his beautiful green orbs but inside, my heart stopped and I felt something indescribable. He was just as perfect as I last saw him if not more handsome, his muscles looked as if they got bigger and his eyes were an even deeper green.
Even though I hated him with every fiber in my being the man that changed me and my life was standing in front of me and I couldn’t tell if I wanted to run too him or shoot him.
Then just as I was about to lower my gun all the memories came back to me, the pain he put me through, the heartbreak, him trying to kill me, him betraying me and the fact that I trusted him with everything in me and he didn’t care.
I grabbed my other gun from my waistband and pointed it at Andrew.
“Get away from me.” I hissed, glaring him straight in the eye.
“Kitten, let me ex-” He started, stepping closer to me but stopped when I shot the wall behind him.
“If you call me that or get any closer I will not hesitate to kill you.” I warned, aiming my gun right at his head.
“Shortness, I know how you feel but please come back too us. We miss you.” Travis said, touching my shoulder. I tensed at his touch and grabbed his wrist. I twisted his hand and kicked him in the stomach making him gasp in pain and take a couple steps back.
I missed Travis too and seeing him was a blessing but I built my walls up for a reason. My whole life I have been hunted and hurt, first by Sylvester and then by Andrew so I was willing to push away Travis if that meant that Andrew would leave me alone and I wouldn’t feel that heartbreak again.
“I don’t care if you miss me, that is Andrew’s fault.” I said, lacing each word with anger.
“Don’t touch him, it isn”t his fault that we are here right now.” Andrew said, making my attention return too Andrew.
“You’re right it isn”t his fault. It’s yours.” I growled, still pointing my gun at him.
“K-Ava, I came here to apologize and see you.” He explained.
“Apologize for what exactly Andrew. Are you going to apologize for not trusting me? Are you going to apologize for letting me be taken by the one person you swore you would protect me from? Are you going to apologize for killing me or just breaking all the promises you made me?” I asked, anger boiling in my blood.
“All of it. I am truly sorry.” Andrew sighed and put his head down.
I watched him and knew he was hurting and that he meant it but I could care less. Everything he did too me was his fault and I wouldn”t let him ever think other wise.
“It was all Ashley and Alex. They set you up and I fell right into their trap.” He said, his head still down.
“They told me that it was you who blew up my base and that you had betrayed me, they also told me you were with Travis the whole time you were with me and they had “proof.” They showed me photos and I just believed them and I will live with that forever. They also told Sylvester where you were and they were the ones that helped him take you” He continued.
I took everything that Andrew told me in. I finally had closer, I knew why he wanted too kill me and I knew how Sylvester found me. As much as I hate to think about it I couldn”t blame Andrew anymore for Sylvester, it was Alex and Ashley who told Sylvester everything and they were the ones who let him take me.
“Fine, you weren”t the one that told Sylvester too take me but you still killed me and betrayed me.” I replied.
“Ava, I can”t live without you can”t you see its killing me. Just come back to me” He replied, hurt in his voice. I took my eyes away from his and looked at him, his hair was messy, there were bags under his eyes and when I looked back into his eyes I could tell that he was dying. I could slightly feel my heart mend, knowing that he missed me but then the numbness slowly took over my body again.
“I am not doing this Andrew, you killed me for a reason and now you have to face the consequences.” I said, coldly.
“God Ava please, I love you.” He said, his eyes piercing into mine. At that moment time stopped for me, I felt my heart leap at the sounds of the words, my head started to spin and all I wanted too do was to tell him I loved him back but that would require me to trust him and that was something I wouldn”t do.
“No you don”t. You killed the girl you loved a year and a half ago, you don”t know me. But if you really do love me you will leave me and let me go.” I said and a sudden urge to cry started to creep up on me as I felt my heart clench.
“Ava I will never let you go because I love you.” He said, seriously locking his dark green orbs with mine.
“You don”t know what love is and if you did you wouldn”t be here right now.” I yelled, frustrated with everything that was happening. Why can”t I just escape? I just want to be happy and free.
“AVA, everything that happened between us was real and every feeling I felt was and is real. I love you and I loved you before all of this happened, that”s why I am here. Because I would go to the ends of the earth to be with you, too hold you. You are the reason I breathe, the reason I have meaning too my life, without you in it their is no point in living.” Andrew confessed.
I lowered my guns that were pointed at Travis and Andrew when Andrew let out his confession. I felt my heart be engulfed by a darkness because I knew I would have to go through another heartbreak , I would have too feel that same pain I once felt. He was my safe haven, he was my soul, my reason but he was also everything I swore to hate.
“Then you”re going too have too find something else too live for because I don”t.” I said, walking away from Andrew and Travis, into the darkness of the night.
And that was the biggest lie I ever told.
