Chapter Thirty Six - "My Flight Leaves In Three Hours."
___

Avery's P.O.V

"Thanks for coming, Ava." Chance says as I take a seat in front of him. I nod at Chance and he rubs the back of his neck.

"Okay, I'm just going to go straight out with it. Avery, I'm going back to England." Chance says and I nod slowly, not really knowing where this conversation is leading to.

"You have always meant so much to me and I will always love you, even though you will never love me back. Avery, after everything we've been through-" Chance grabs my hand and holds it in his. "All I can say is that I'm sorry. I know the things that I have done to your are not pleasant but I'm sorry for everything." Chance sighs and I nod again.

"The things you do for love." Chance mumbles quietly before chuckling to himself.

"Avery," Chance says, drawing his attention back to me. His small smile that was on his lips now fades into a deep frown. "I'm moving to England because my mom has cancer." Chance says and I gap at him. Chance nods but he gives me a reassuring smile.

"Its okay though, she is getting a lot of help. My mom actually was the one who told me to make this arrangement today. She knows everything that has happened between us, as you already know, and she said to just own up to my mistakes and apologize. Since it's the best I can do for my mother, I asked you to come today and I'm so glad you didn't ditch me." Chance mumbles, his eyes getting teary. I shake my head and grip his hand.

"She's going to make it, Chance. She's a fighter." I say, smiling at Chance and he shrugs.

"Well tell her that. She is already telling me about her will and everything. I just... I just can't lose her." Chance says, frowning as he looks down at our hands. I sigh and shake my head.

"Don't think that way. Stay positive, Chance. Believe me, she will get through this and she can't do it alone. You have to be by her side, not worrying about the future. Focus on the present." I say and Chance sighs.

"You always give good advice, Ava." Chance says and he stands up, walking over to me. I stand and accept his hug, thinking about the things he is going through right now.

"I'll always be here, you know?" Chance says and I nod, smiling at him as he pulls away. Chance sighs and runs a hand through his hair.

"I hope you are happy with Logan. You deserve better." Chance says and I shrug.

"Somewhat." I say, smiling at Chance and he rolls his eyes before hugging me again.

"I'm leaving today by the way. My flight leaves in three hours." Chance says and I nod.

"Have a safe flight, okay? Tell your mom I said that I miss her very much." I say as Chance stands at the side of the road, trying to grab the attention of any cab driver who is driving past. One pulls up in front of him and Chance nods, flashing me a smile.

"Hopefully everything works out okay." Chance says before getting into the car. The car starts to drive off and I wave. Chance puts his hands out the window and waves back. I let out a sigh and run my hands down my face.

What the hell just happened?

"Hey, Aunty Heather." I say, walking into the house. Aunty Heather turns her head and gives me a smile before looking back at the television.

"Why are you home so late?" Aunty Heather asks and I look at the clock, frowning at the time.

"You do realise it's only five o'clock, right?" I ask, sitting down next to my Aunty. She nods and laughs, shaking her head slightly.

"I know how to read time, smart ass." I roll my eyes at my Aunty's comment and look at the television, narrowing my eyes at the show.

"What is this?" I ask and Aunty Heather gaps at me, her eyes going wide as she stares at me.

"You have got to be kidding me! Haven't you heard of Wentworth?" Aunty Heather says and I shake my head, making Aunty Heather groan. She grabs the remote and presses a few buttons and the words 'season one' come up on the screen and I watch as Aunty Heather turns it up.

"We are watching season one all the way to season four and may I mind you, there are twelve or so episodes in each season and they go for an hour so well be here forever." Aunty Heather says, leaning into the couch as she watches the screen.

I sigh but lean back on the couch, obeying my Aunty's demand.

"Oh my god! What the hell is wrong with this chick!" I scream at the television, watching as Bea stabs Jackie in the throat with a pen. I gap as it shows Jackie's face.

I think I'm going to be sick.

"She deserved it though. You should see what happens with Jackie's son and Bea's daughter..." Aunty Heather trails off and I am still gapping at the television as it shows Bea being lead down the hallway with her shirt covered in blood.

What a badass.

"Shit, look at the time!" Aunty Heather gasps, shooting up from her seat before falling back down. "God, my legs are asleep." Aunty Heather says, slapping her legs and stomping her feet on the ground. I laugh and stand up but only to be pulled back down to the couch because my legs are asleep too.

"Okay, we are officially getting in trouble by your parents." Aunty Heather sighs as she gives up on her legs. I sigh and nod before gasping.

"Let's just pretend to be asleep on the couch." I say and Aunty Heather nods, immediately getting into position as she sprawls her legs across the couch. I do the same and shove my face into the pillow as I hear the door opening.

"Oh my god, tonight was an absolute blast." I hear my father say and I hear my mom chuckle. The door closes and I hear my mom's heels click against the floor boards, walking towards the couch.

"Oh look, our baby is asleep next to Heather." I can practically hear the smile on her face which makes me smile a little.

I'm so glad I shoved my face into the pillow.

"Yeah but they fell asleep on the couch. Why, out of all places, does it have to be the couch?" I hear my father grumble and my smile immediately fades away.

Why, out of all days, do you have to be so moody?

"Honey, stop whining. Come on, I'm drained from tonight." I hear my mom say before kissing my forehead which makes the smile on my face appear again.

"Goodnight, bub." I hear my mother whisper in my ear before walking away, probably up the stairs. When I hear my parents bedroom door close, Aunty Heather and I shoot up.

"Aw, the baby is asleep next to me." Aunty Heather smirks and I smack her arm, making her groan. I shake my leg - making sure I can feel it - and I stand up, walking up to my room. I close the door behind me and I let out a yawn before crashing on my bed, falling asleep.
