Saving Ava Collins

•Chapter 27•

Mason's Pov

As I sat down in my seat in American government class. I thought about the first time I saw her walked in. Her saddened aura filled the classroom instantly; I was determined to find out what had caused her to look so heart broken. A smile on her face was so nonexistent. But I didn't care, I craved to know her, be anything she wanted me to be. And as selfish as I may be, I wanted her for myself. I needed her probably more than she needed me. I needed her at this moment. The way she acted last night, tore me apart. I didn't know she felt that way. I probably should have never brought her to that stupid party. I craved for her presence so much that I didn't really notice how uncomfortable she would be when she would be brought along with me everywhere to these gatherings.

Instantly I saw her walked inside the classroom. Although she was just wearing some sweats and a shirt; she looked stunning. It's crazy how oblivious someone so beautiful could be about their worth. She is so beautiful that these jealous ass girls in this school would bully her. And my beautiful angel would just endure every word, every single day as if she was those things they would say about her. As If she deserved it and that's what drove me insane because she didn't deserve any of it; she's fucking amazing. As I looked near the side of my shoulder, I saw her just staring at her desk in deep thought. She hadn't looked away from her desk ever since she stepped into this classroom. She was avoiding eye contact with me; It felt as If we were right back to the day we met once again. As If we didn't know each other at all and I wasn't going to sit here and act like the love of my life was not within 5 feet of me in this classroom.

I took a deep breath and whispered, "Ava"

She looked up, stared at me for a second and looked back down at her desk as she waited for Mr.Rodriguez to begin his lesson.

She was beginning to frustrate me. What did I possibly do wrong? She can't do this to us, I wish she would have just talked to be about how she felt and not just break up with me yesterday. Was I just not enough for her?

"Ava, baby talk to me." I softly spoke whilst grabbing her hand and intertwining her fingers with mine.

She again refused to say a word to me and just stared at our fingers being connected. At least she didn't move away, that was a good sign. For a while, she tried to remove them but I firmly kept them together. She was honestly insane If she thought that I was going to let her go that easily.

"I love you angel." I murmured against her ear and said, "I am not letting us go this easily."

She sighed, gazed into my eyes and whispered, "I know but you have to."

"Why the fuck do you keep saying that." I angrily said a bit too loudly causing everyone to turn their heads and curiously eavesdropped on us. Which I knew gave Ava anxiety; As she looked back down at her desk, I knew I fucked up.

Knowing that they were making her uncomfortable, frustrated me even more. Which led me to say, "Mind your fucking business." To everyone who kept their eyes at us.

Ava's eyes widened and she whispered, "Mason stop it."

Mr.Rodriguez looked away from the smart board and at me disappointingly and said, "Is there a problem?"

I groaned, "No."

As the rest of the lesson continued, all my mind kept thinking of was losing Ava. I can't lose her I thought to myself, she was honestly the best thing to have ever happened to me. Without her I would probably be in trouble and drunk all the time as I was before I met her and giving these other girls unnecessary attention.

Class quickly ended and as soon as that bell rang. Ava rushed to shove her notebooks and papers inside her book bag and quickly jogged out before I could stop her. I took my shit and ran outside of the classroom before I lost her since we didn't have a class together for the rest of the day except lunch.
