Chapter 31

Ava's Point Of View,

"What are you doing here mister, and why didn't you tell me that you are here", I asked James, as he was just looking at me with so many emotions on his face and in his eyes too. It was hard to understand what that was.

"Where were you for the whole day? I called you so many times but you did not answer my call. Would you please tell me where you were? I was worried about you. You left college early as the principal told me that you were tired and you needed rest. So where were you", he asked me and I just forced a smile on him.

I just do not know what the hell I should tell him. There is no way that I can tell him that Lucas is back. I even slept with him and today I was also at his place and sleeping there carelessly. He would never talk to me again and I am not sure if he will ever see my face after knowing it. So there is no way that I can tell him the truth. I just have to come up with a great lie that looks real. First I will try to distract him if this could work.

"Are you investigating me now", I acted and I tried to laugh but he did not laugh at all, he was still looking at me and glaring at me somehow and I just gulped hard.

"Do you think that I am joking or something, Ava? I am seriously asking you where you were. I mean you have no idea how worried I was and your mom too. You could at least inform me if you were busy or going out for some work. This is not a joke. Luke needed you and we had no idea where you were". I have never seen him that seriously.

It was the very first time I noticed his dead look at me. I just gulped hard and tried to think of a good excuse. He would catch me in a second if I said something stupid. So I was trying to think hard while he was looking straight into my eyes and somehow his eyes were giving me some kind of warning that, you don't dare to lie to me, and I just cleared my throat.

"I, I am so sorry James, I really did not mean to do that, and are you really scolding me? Do you think that I am a bad mom? You think that I am selfish and I do not care about my mom and my Luke. Is this really what you are trying to say"? I know that I am just overreacting, but at this time I really do not know what the hell I should do and how I should react. He sounds so damn serious and not a single lie is coming into my mind.

"Oh come on Ava, stop overreacting, you know very well that is not what I mean. Just ignore all this bullshit and tell me one single thing, where the hell you were for the whole fucking day". He just yelled at me, but it was slow enough for Luke not to hear that, and now I was just glaring at him with wide eyes. When the hell did I give him all those rights to yell at me? How dare he yell at me like that?

"I am waiting for the fucking answer Ava, tell me now", he asked me again and I just took a deep breath and sat on the bed.

"Amm, well, you will not believe it if I tell you the truth. I was so hell tired in the morning and I had not eaten anything since morning, so I was feeling so dizzy", I told him and took a pause to see how he would react, as he was listening to me very carefully.

"I fucking knew it, I knew that you were not fine when I saw you in the morning. Your face was also looking so pale, but you told me that you were fine and you pushed me out. Why the hell did you do that", he asked me. But now I just have to tell him one more lie.

"James, what is wrong with you, just calm down okay, I was not dying", I said to him, but deep down I just know that he was so worried about me and I should not say this to him at least.
