Dead love
Rowan
+15 BONUS
Today we were having our monthly get together. The Woods and the Sharps have made this a
tradition since I was about five years old.
Our families have always been close. Mainly because our mother’s have been best of friends since
they were little girls.
It made logical sense that their children would end up being best friends too and that both
families would be close.
“Dad, why are you driving so slow? You’re going to make us miss grandpa’s barbecue stake” Noah
complains, his brows pulled together in irritation.
If it wasn’t for Noah, I wouldn’t even have gone. I used to love them. Especially when I knew that
Ava wasn’t going to be around. When I knew that she wasn’t invited.
I used to think it was the only place I could escape her. That being in a room where everyone
except Noah hated her guts was the best place to be.
Now though, it doesn’t fucking feel like that anymore. Instead I hate myself and the rest for the
pain we have put her through.
“I’m going as fast as I can“I answer him.
“No, you’re not. You’re driving slower than a ninety year old grandma!” He huffs in annoyance.
Did I just get fried by an eight year old boy? I shake my head and chuckle before increasing the
speed just a little bit.
The moment silence reigns in the car, my mind immediately goes to Ava.
She looked fucking radiant when she opened the door for me.
To me she looked like a damn fertility goddess in a white flowing dress, long curled thick hair, her
small baby bump and her beautiful flawless skin.
I was shocked by my reaction when I wanted nothing more than to take her in my arms and lock
ourselves in her bedroom for hours.
