East Side Line (Kavi AU)

Push Your Head Towards The Air

Guys out of curiosity, how long do you think this book should be? Because I've got it planned to be finished in around 8 more chapters but I can easily extend that if people feel this story needs to be longer? I was planning on finishing the main story line then but posting an odd one shot from this universe every now and then? What are your opinions?

------------------

Since the run in with Chase, things hadn't been as smooth as usual between the couple. He was the straw that broke the camel's back, the encounter with him had opened the floodgates that they had built together and now all the problems came seeping through. They hadn't fought anymore which Kirstie knew was a good sign but every single negative comment was beginning to get to each of them. It effected their moods, it effected their relationship. The honeymoon period was well and truly over and the two had been knocked back into reality and forced to face all the problems that they had created for themselves.

Chase was off the scene for a few days after the incident but then he resurfaced when they started to hear rumours about how Kirstie had cheated on Avi at the gala with him, they just knew he was the cause. Obviously the people who already hated the two of them together latched onto the rumour, they wanted another excuse to hate Avi and turn Kirstie into a victim and the rumour was a perfect excuse for them to do so. It wasn't long before the story turned into a long blow out affair and that the chivalrous Chase was helping Kirstie to escape an abusive relationship. Despite the fact the tension between the two of them had increased since their first argument, the two had agreed to break their unofficial and not very strict rule to not explain their relationship. Kirstie had appeared on a Q&A episode of Scott and Mitch's new web show and Scott had made sure to select a question aimed at Kirstie's relationship. It hadn't stopped the fans from speculating and bashing on Avi but it had stopped that rumour dead in it's tracks, especially because Scott and Mitch had agreed with everything she had said.

A few days after she had filmed the video, she was scrolling through her tagged photos on Instagram to get a feeling of how people were reacting to the video. She knew better than to seek out comments about her relationship but she just wanted to find one nice comment to show to Avi to cheer him up. It had been really getting to him - he had started to want to cut their dates short, and even when he was with her he was distant, lost in though. Their sex life had dramatically decreased, they were no longer in the mood for it but when they were it was rougher than usual, being more for their own gratification and less because of their feelings for the other. The feelings were still there though, they never disappeared but instead they had been masked by a million other thoughts and problems that they needed to deal with. Once they had been removed (which they were working on doing) they could return to how they were at the beginning, all happy and overwhelmingly in love.

The pictures she saw and the comments were mixed, many of them were condemning the others who had spread the rumours while others admitted they were wrong but was adamant there was something shady about Avi. When she found a particularly nice one, she would show it to her boyfriend who was in bed next to her and enjoyed the fact seeing them would make him smile. Occasionally, one post would mention this one account and told their followers to go and check it out of they didn't believe Avi was an awful person. Kirstie didn't take much notice at first but then the same account kept on being mentioned and mentioned, especially when she got back to before her appearance of Superfruit. She knew she shouldn't have pressed the link to the profile, it was bound to be filled negative slander, but when the profile was loaded up, she was shocked to see what she found there.

She was expecting to see screenshots of their tweets with a comment remarking what they had said or repostings of the pictures they had together complete with a message about how awkward they thought they looked together. It was what she was used to, it was what people had been posting for the last month they had been together so she was horrified to find what was really there. She wanted to show Avi straight away, reason told her she should but she couldn't bring herself to do it. They were finally beginning to get out of the rut they were in and showing him that would only make him spiral back into it.
