Chasing His Scentless Mate (Caroline) novel Chapter 318

Chapter 318: Chapter 318 Girls’ Night Rescue Mission

Ava’s POV

Odelia had just reached the door when she heard Eleanor’s familiar voice coming from outside.

"Ava! I know you’re in there! If you don’t open this door, I’m totally calling the firefighters to break it down! And I’ll tell them it’s an emergency!"

Then came Ruby’s voice, "Eleanor, you can’t threaten her like that..."

"Of course I can!" Eleanor’s voice got louder. "Ava Flynn, you’ve got ten seconds to open this door, or I’m dialing 911! Ten, nine, eight..."

Odelia couldn’t help but smile as she reached for the door handle.

"Seven, six, five..." Eleanor kept counting down.

When Mom pulled open the door, my friends were standing outside with Eleanor holding up her phone like she was actually going to make the call.

"Well then, make sure you send the hottest ones, preferably the guys from Chicago Fire," Odelia said with a playful smirk.

Eleanor froze, then laughed awkwardly. "Mrs. Odelia, I forgot you were home."

"Come on in, girls," Mom stepped aside. "I’ve been practically living at the company lab lately, so you probably thought I moved in there."

My friends filed in like some kind of emergency rescue squad, each carrying different "weapons" - ice cream, wine, tissue boxes, and Eleanor clutching a huge bag of junk food.

"Ava, we’ve always got your back, and we always will," Eleanor rushed over and hugged me tight. "We figured we shouldn’t call Caroline today, we’ll catch her up tomorrow."

I held onto Eleanor, tears flowing nonstop. Soon I felt the other girls joining the group hug.

"What are you crazy girls doing here?" I wiped my tears with the back of my hand, trying to force a smile.

"That playboy called and told us what happened, said you needed your friends. So here we are. He was right," Eleanor explained.

"We came prepared for everything - pizza for anger, burgers and fries for hatred, ice cream for sadness, chocolate to heal broken hearts, gummy bears for anxiety, and wine to completely forget about jerks. Plus other stuff," Ruby listed off.

"And skincare products, because we might fall apart, but the whole world doesn’t need to know, especially those idiots. Tomorrow we’ll still look gorgeous as always." I smiled, agreeing with Kyle. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"You guys are the best! Best friends in the world!" I said through my tears.

"So babe, today we fall apart, tomorrow we look stunning and ready for the next battle," Eleanor said, flopping down hard on the couch.

The doorbell rang again. Odelia opened it and Nina burst in dragging her little suitcase. She gave me a quick hug and asked,

"I’m here, guys! Did I miss anything?"

"Chill, we just got here too," Eleanor called from the couch. "But you’ve got some serious explaining to do!"

Mom smiled at us and said, "Well, I’ll leave my daughter in your hands. I won’t crash your girls’ night."

My friends waved goodbye to Mom as she headed to her bedroom.

Nina made a face at me like she’d done something wrong and needed backup. Ruby and Kyle had already turned my coffee table into a food court.

"Listen, Nina, I want to know what you’ve been hiding from us while Ava’s been dealing with all this drama," Eleanor started interrogating her.

"Elle, she made me promise not to tell Caroline and Alpha Draven what was going on at the time, but thank Goddess they’ve sorted out their issues now and we can help Ava," Nina answered, sitting on the floor.

"Ava, you better explain yourself! I can’t believe you think I’m such a crappy friend that I wouldn’t care about you or help you just because another friend was having problems," Eleanor complained, her angry expression making me a little scared.
