CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE

Avilla's pov I wasn't stuck in my bed like the last time he rejected me, instead I was down with my aunt and we were hanging out like before. I haven't returned anybody's calls and I wasn't planning to. All except Camilla, if I didn't pick her calls then she would come straight here and beat my ass. I wouldn't want that Rohan and Ben has been calling me and frankly, I wasn't in the mood for their nonsense. I wanted to move on with my life. It occurred to me that ever since I got here, that all my problems have been all about a guy. I haven't had time to enjoy myself and meet new people who are certainly more interesting than boy drama. Camilla pointed out that I needed to accept his rejection and move on with my life but it was too soon, I was going to give it some thought and then decided what I was going to do after then. She was in total support of cutting her brother out of my life if he indeed is stressing me out, she really was the best. So I guess Ben and Rohan's relationship was over now. Seeing his best friend kiss his mate was really not going to be overlooked or forgiven anytime soon. Great! I came in between two guys in high school, number one on my bucket list. Way to go Avilla! I rolled my eyes and focused on what my aunt was saying. We were talking about taking a trip somewhere for a day and relaxing. I was up for it. I needed sometime alone to think and a day at the beach would do the trick. "So what do you think?" She asked me. I stared at her blankly, I had no idea what she was talking about. I was lost in thoughts. "I didn't catch that" I told her sheepishly. She sent me a glare, "I said, will you like to bring some of your friends on the trip" she asked. No way! I was taking the trip because of them, there is no way I would be able to relax if they were there. "No, I need time alone" I told her. "Did something happen?" She asked. "No, nothing. It's just been really stressful in school" I told her. "Honey, I know I haven't been around all the time but I want you to know that I am here for you, always" she said as she came around to hug me to her. "I know, but there is nothing going on right now" I assured her I hated lying to her but she has been so distracted lately and I didn't want to pile this on. I could handle this on my own without her help. I didn't want to bother her with my petty problems. I knew she wouldn't mind and she would drop everything just to help me out, that was what I was trying to avoid. "Okay, go and pack" she said right before kissing me my forehead. I loved my aunty, she was more like a mother to me and it made missing my parents feel less painful than it was earlier. She was tough and at the same time so maternal. "Yay!" I said and skipped right up to go get my already packed bag. It wasn't her idea, all I had to do was get it into her head that going to the beach was such a good idea and it worked. I packed my bags a day before we had the conversation. I got to my room and I grabbed my small overnight back on my bed before heading downstairs. "I am all done!" I announced. "So soon?" She said as she assessed me, I think she got the idea that she has been manipulated when she narrowed her eyes at me. I smiled innocently at her. "You already had this planned, didn't you?" She asked. "Yes but I am sorry for manipulating you but I really need some time away from here to spend time with my dearest aunt" I said blinking my lashes at her "Oh shut up! I know you are only saying that. I already agreed, no need to kiss ass" she said savagely. I burst out laughing at her attitude and she joined me. She already had her bag packed and ready to go. "Alright, let's go have some drinks and you can tell me all about that Rohan boy and what he has been doing to make my baby girl cry" she said. I stared up at her in shock, how did she know? "How?" I asked her. "Honey, I know everything that is going on with you. I hear you cry and sometimes I think you forget that I have sensitive ears" she said. "I am sorry, I didn't mean to lie. I just didn't want you involved in my affairs" I told her honestly. "When I took you in, I took all your problems and fun times too. If you are going through a hard time in school, I want you to come to me and if you are having a hard time with a boy, I also need you to come to me immediately. I am your guardian now and I want to be involved in your life more" she said. I felt bad now, all she has been trying to do was be involved in my life and I keep pushing her away. Anyways, if this trip was going to be about the both of us then it's time she knew everything in my life. "I promise to tell you everything when we get there" I tell her "Good, because I was going to choose option b" she said. "Option b?" I asked. "To torture you till you spill everything" she said. "Really?? You are going to torture your niece?" "Little?? You are a grown ass woman" she said right before laughing at the look on my face. I stared at her retreating back as she laughed her way upstairs.
