I SAID I NEEDED SPACE~ CHAPTER 4:

~~Home~~

INTRO:

"Michael and I were talking, and we think we want to move out of the apartment into something bigger-" she starts off

"Oh," I say cutting her off and I feel my heart drop

"Cam down Aves, we want you to come with us!"

"Really!?" I ask

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

I LOOK AT MYSELF in the mirror and I fake a smile, and my once bright eyes are still dull but at least I look healthy and alive now. I walked down the stairs, slinging my purse over my shoulder, I found a denim skirt when I was rummaging through Billie's clothes, they with her jeans. 

To be honest, I can't remember the last time I wore a skirt. I then found a white oversized sweatshirt in the bottom of my duffle bag, so tucked it into the skirt, I then turned to my dirty white tennis shoes, which I should probably wash and I lace them up

"Are you ready to go?" Billie says her back turned to me

"Yeah," I say she turns to around, and I half-smile

"Wow, you look really pretty," she says and a memory shocks my system knocking the breath out of me

...

I look at myself in the mirror and I run my hands down my body, examining myself, and I think I look cute. I rarely dress up in anything nice anymore since I have 3 little girls that make so much mess you wouldn't believe it.

Grayson has organised a little late for us tonight, we have no kids and neither of us are working so we have taken this opportunity to go out.

"Are your eyes closed?" I called out to him, I'm wearing a new dress and a denim jacket. Billie and Ally helped me pick them out when we were shopping last week.

"Yes love" he replies and I peek my head out of the door and down the stairs, where Grayson has his back turned to me, and I giggle, stepping into the hallway

"I'm coming down now," I say to him, and I skip down the stairs, when I reach the bottom, I wrap my arms around him, kissing his cheek. He turns around and looks at me, his eyes trailing my body.

"Wow, you look really pretty Avie," he says scooping my in his arms

"Yeah" I whisper to him

"You look amazing my love," he says kissing my neck spinning me around

...

"Are you okay?" Billie then says slowly, putting a hand on my shoulder.

"I uh don't know, but I have 3 girls that need their mother" I reply to her and she softly smiles

"Okay then," Billie says and she grabs my hand "Let's go, we have so much to buy," she says and my phone vibrates again, and it's a text from Grayson

- okay, I love you avery.

I love you, Avery....

His message hurts so much. Every time he says he loves me, I want to cry. I hate this. For a second I thought he was mine forever.

I sigh and shove my phone in my back pocket, and walk down the driveway, and into Billie's car which is parked on the side of the road, I slide in the passenger seat, whilst she gets in and I turn the music on super loud. She starts the car and turns the music down

"Hey!" I was listening to that I exclaim

"Now you're not," she says "I have a question to ask you"

"Yes..." I say apprehensive, considering that Billie is very unpredictable at times

"I know it's only been a week-"

"Bill, I'm not-" I say cutting her off but she cuts me off

"Listen!"

"Okay!"

"Michael and I were talking, and we think we want to move out of the apartment into something bigger-" she starts off

"Oh," I say cutting her off and I feel my heart drop

"Cam down Aves, we want you to come with us!"

"Really!?" I ask

"YES! You should really listen, anyways we were thinking of talking to Ally and Jake about this too" she continues "We were thinking that it might be easier for us to all move in together, rent and kids wise but we wanted to know what you were thinking with Grayson"

"Look Bill, The girls and I would be delighted to live with you, and I'm sure it would be much easier, but I'm not sure about Gray, at the moment thinking about him hurts, and I don't want to talk about it..."

"That's fine! But it's settled, we'll discuss with the rest of them at dinner!"

"Perfect," I say, turning the radio up as far as it goes, and rolling my window down, whilst Billie and I scream the lyrics to the song that is playing.

To an outsider, Billie and I probably look crazy, but to be honest we are anyways.

The drive to the shopping centre is only 10 minutes, so we make it in no time.

"So what's the plan," I say to Billie standing at the end of her car, waiting for her to get out, she gets out and locks the car and we art walking to the entrance

"Okay so I'm hungry, and we need groceries, and Jack is growing so he needs some more clothes," she says and I laugh

"Bill you are always hungry"

"Hey! I'm a growing girl" she says "What do you need?" she then asks me

"Ahh," I say and I open my phone and find my notes "Okay, Lola needs diapers, formula and more baby food, and the girls all need socks," I say

"Oh that's not that much"

"Yeah it's just miscellaneous stuff" I reply

"Well if we quickly get our groceries and go-to target, we can get lunch and then leave"

"Yep that's good" I reply, and we walk straight to the grocery store, we grab a trolley and start to browse the isles and before we know it we have 2 carts filled to the brim

"Bill we are not allowed to come to the grocery store alone," I say giggling and Billie laughs to

"We are going to run out of money the way that we are going" she adds

"It's you though, only needed like 3 things!"

"Aves, it's not my fault though, it looks so cute," she says pointing to all of the new containers on the shelves

"Michael is going to kill you," I say

"Oh he can piss off," she says

We finish our shop, and pay the huge bill, before we decided that we are going to eat first before we head to target.

"Get in me," Billie says eyeing her subway sandwich

"I'm starving," I say and I unwrap mine moaning when the smell hits my nose

"Yum yum yum," she says and she takes a bite.

But I don't get a reply as we are interrupted by the one person I hate and I don't ever want to see again.
