Ray's POV
Ava stood shakily on her feet, with the help of my hands. Her feet wobbled with every step she made without support. As we made our way towards the staircase, dragging our feet slowly, her silence only added more. She was still pale and I knew if I let her go she'd fall down on her ass.
She kept on shaking her head repeatedly, mumbling to herself inaudible words. I wanted to know exactly what was going through her head and as if reading my mind Bryson asked.
'You know you can tell us anything right? ' Bryson assured her.
She didn't speak for a while, instead she looked at him for sometime. She was contemplating what she would say next, or how she would say it. It could be either, I couldn't tell.
'Your...mum...she..uh.. ' Ava was a stuttering mess. Whatever she wanted to say felt heavy in her tongue. Her throat threatened to close up, forcing her to swallow down her words.
