- Dead love

Today we were having our monthly get together. The Woods and the Sharps have made this a
tradition since I was about five years old.
Our families have always been close. Mainly because our mother’s have been best of friends since
they were little girls.
It made logical sense that their children would end up being best friends too and that both
families would be close.
“Dad, why are you driving so slow? You’re going to make us miss grandpa’s barbecue stake” Noah
complains, his brows pulled together in irritation.
If it wasn’t for Noah, I wouldn’t even have gone. I used to love them. Especially when I knew that
Ava wasn’t going to be around. When I knew that she wasn’t invited.
I used to think it was the only place I could escape her. That being in a room where everyone
except Noah hated her guts was the best place to be.
Now though, it doesn’t fucking feel like that anymore. Instead I hate myself and the rest for the
pain we have put her through.
“I’m going as fast as I can“I answer him.
“No, you’re not. You’re driving slower than a ninety year old grandma!” He huffs in annoyance.
Did I just get fried by an eight year old boy? I shake my head and chuckle before increasing the
speed just a little bit.
The moment silence reigns in the car, my mind immediately goes to Ava.
She looked fucking radiant when she opened the door for me.
To me she looked like a damn fertility goddess in a white flowing dress, long curled thick hair, her
small baby bump and her beautiful flawless skin.
I was shocked by my reaction when I wanted nothing more than to take her in my arms and lock
ourselves in her bedroom for hours.

This reaction to her is something that has never happened before and it took me by surprise.
I haven’t been able to think about anything or anyone except for her. She’s stuck on my mind and
nothing I do distracts me from thoughts of her.
It fucking scares me how obsessed I am with her. It’s not once or twice that I found myself
wondering what she’s up to. Whether she’s eaten or not. Or whether she’s getting enough sleep. I
keep wondering if I should hire someone to help her around the house.
Those thoughts shake me to my core. I’ve never been one to take on more when it comes to Ava.
Now, the need to take care of her is almost consuming and it’s wrecking havoc inside me.
“Dad?” Noah calls.
“What?”
“We are here”
I had not realized that we were already parked outside my parent’s house. I don’t know how we
fucking got here. I was so lost in my mind that I had been driving mindlessly.
I know how fucking dangerous that is. Especially when I have Noah in the car with me, but I just
can’t help myself. Thoughts of Ava keep consuming me.
“Come on, I’m sure your grandpa has saved some stake for you” I say just so I can push the
awkward atmosphere away. 3
“Are you okay dad?” He asks instead of getting out of the car.
I didn’t like that I was worrying him. I also couldn’t tell him my current problem was in the form
of his beautiful mother.
“Yes. I just have a lot on my mind, but it’s nothing to worry about”
He nods his head and unbuckles his seatbelt. We get out at the same time.
Locking the car, we walk towards the house. The door opens before we can get to it.
“Ma!” Noah shouts before running to her.
“I’ve missed you my Noah”
She bends down and catches him as his body collides with hers.

It has always been obvious that Kate and James love Noah despite what happened with Ava
Everyone loves Noah, we just didn’t love Ava because of the sin we thought she had committed
against me and Emma,
“Where’s your mom? I sent her an invite” She asks, straightening and looking behind us.
“Oh, she’s not coming,” Noah informs her. “She went to visit grandma Nora and grandpa Theo. She was excited. We didn’t get to see them last week because they were on a business trip”
Noah doesn’t seem to notice, but I do.
He greets everyone except Emma. He doesn’t even spare her a fucking glance. He doesn’t like her
+15 BONUS
He knows it irritates me when he does that, but he still does it.
“Yes” I mumbled already wanting this whole thing to be over and done with.
“You sure sound excited being around family” Gabe says sarcastically.
