-Part twenty seven-

Zara's pov

Ava and Matteo are now sitting on the couch while I'm cuddled close to Enzo

Yesterday I woke up to a couple of hoodies on my bed and immediately smiled knowing Enzo put them there

He's such a sweetheart

"Omg MOVE OVER Peppa," Ava says

"WHAT did I tell you about calling me that pinky pie!!" Matt says

"Sit on the floor" Ava rolls her eyes

"Yeah no thanks I'm good," Matt says

"You know if you cuddled close to me like Zara and Enzo are then we wouldn't be having this argument," Matt says amused

"AS IF I WOULD ON PURPOSE TOUCH YOU," Ava says getting up from the couch

"I'm going to get some snacks be right back," Ava says while rolling her eyes

The whole time they have Been here has been me mostly catching up with Ava on things that have happened between Enzo and me, and Ava avoiding talking about Matt, I think she likes him and she's scared to get hurt so she acts as she hates him, but I wouldn't blame her she got cheated on used and lied to

"I'll be right back" I whisper in Enzo's ear and lightly peck his cheek

He nods kissing my forehead

That's our thing now he kissed my forehead all the time and I kiss his cheek, it's cute

Though I would want to kiss him on the lips...I just don't know if he would want that

I head over to the kitchen to see Ava digging through the candy box

"Hey aves," I say

"Hey zee bee," she says

"Sooo....you okay?" I say

"Yep...totally ok," she says

I hum "you know you can trust me right Ava? It's ok to like Matt he's a good guy" I tell her

She takes a deep breath and slowly turns around and I notice she has tears in her eyes

I go in to quickly hug her

"Hey, It's ok Ava, did he do something? Say something? Because you know I won't hesitate to stab him in the eye with a fork" I tell her

She laughs a little "yes he did do something" she sighs

"WAIT...what did he do?" I say hesitate

She takes another deal breath "he snuck into my heart zee, he's perfect, he's sweet, he puts up with my attitude, he's funny" she whispers tears flowing down her face

"And isn't that what you would want in a guy? What's wrong with it" I say knowing full well it's probably cus she's scared to get hurt

"I'm scared zee" she sighs "what if he hurts me, I don't want my heart to break again...and I feel like he can completely shatter it for me" she whispers

"Awww Ava" I hug her tightly "I understand it must be terrifying to swim in the whole relationship thing again but think of it this way, you're never gonna learn how to swim if you just look at the water...right? You have to jump in...huh guess that's why they call it to falling in love" I say

"Ya I know but what if I drown Zara" she cries's

"Then I'll be here to save you from the water, and if needed I'll learn how to do CPR" I laugh lightly

And she laughs at that

"You're an amazing friend, thank you" she hugs me tightly

"So what do I do?" She asks
