Ava POV
I can't believe she said that to me. I thought we were getting to know each other, but that was a lie this was all bullshit Nora doesn't understand me. s**t, I thought I was being honest with her, and she hit me with that bullshit. It doesn't hide the fact that my parents add their s**t to the mix; I walked back into the house. My parents and there bullshit. They walked out of my room. I can't believe they did I walked upstairs and slammed the door. My phone went off to the Nina ringtone, and I’m tired me of her and I didn't need her s**t also today. There was a knock on the door I got up and answered it there was Nina and Brooklynn they had enormous smiles on their faces. They laid on my bed, played music and then that when it all ended when Nina said he s**t.
'What the f**k, what's with the girls like girl bullshit it's f*****g nasty, ' Nina said
'What wrong with being happy with someone you love nobody says anything when we're in a free and you 're giving Brad a blowjob in the janitor's closet, I like Nora and that liking girl bullshit is nasty to you then you can step the f**k away from me.' I said
'Ava, omgosh that is great to hear, ' Brooklyn said
I cried because I knew out of the both of them Brooklyn was going to be the most supportive Nina just couldn't stop looking at me like I was nasty. Then she let out a smile and hugged me. What the f**k is wrong with her. I wanted to know what the f**k is wrong with her. She does all this s**t. I just wanted to f*****g scream. Brooklyn was supportive like I knew she would but Nina she just a b***h and I can't deal with her right now she probably want to act like none of this happened but it did and I can't act like it didn't. She looked at me and she notice my face never changed and she was thinking about it as if she should joke.
'Get the f**k out. I don't need you acting like a fake friend, like you care when you can't accept me for me, ' I said
'What chill, it's true what brother said you 're one crazy b***h, ' Nina said
'What the f**k, Nina come on, we know that you 're in love with Ava. You told me when you were drunk that you thought Nora was going to ruin your chance if just that, ' Brook said
When I heard that when was someone going to tell me this info, Nina looked like she exposed, like one of her biggest secret was out. She said nothing. It confused me my mother came into the room and I wanted to know what all this was about.
'What mom' I said
'Your father and I read your diary entry and we confused how did this happen, ' My mom said
'Your acting like I have a parasite and that I need to get check out, ' I said
My parents went through my room, Nora hates me, my friends can't accept me, I'm all alone in the world. I got up and walked out the room door. I walked downstairs I needed to go away. I drove and drove and I didn't care where I went. I needed to go. When I got to Nora's house, she was just sitting on the stairs. She got up when she saw my car and rushed over to me.
' I know you told me that not to come here, ' I said
She rushed and gave me a hug and held my hand I felt safe like this is where I should be when we got inside Nora's grandmother was there. I surprised her by my coming here. Her grandmother looked just like Nora; she was pale and had black and her eyes were a blue. Her grandmother wore a long skirt and a baggy blouse and she has a flower crown on.
'Hi, I'm Ava Kinsella,' I said
I had my hand out for her to shake it. She got up and hugged me Nora told her grandmother that she and I were going to her room. I got to her room; They painted it in lilac and looked around there was a picture of her and Kenny. I laid on the bed It was weird being in her room. Nora looked at me and smile I guess she was as nervous as I was.
'I'm sorry about my parents. They read my diary and I kinda had I kinda came out on there. Explain my crush on you in my diary, ' I said
We got up, my eyes fluttered I took a deep breath, Nora pushed my hair back and bite my lips trying to contain the fact that I wanted to kiss her. She moved close to me and our lips touched; I don't know to feel anything anymore. My cheek grew warm. She pulled away from me and I just stuck in a daze.
'Wow' I said
'What it not to your liking' She asked
‘No, I wanted to do that since yesterday,’ I said
My phone went off. I turned it off because I didn't want it to ruin the moment that we had Nora, and I just fell on the bed and laughed. We connected our lips again and just keep kissing each other it felt right, like this is what I'm supposed to do.
'I'm pansexual and happy, ' I said
'Hell yeah, ' She said
I got a text from Logan it read come thru and I'll eat you out, what the f**k I showed the text to Nora who didn't understand it either, what the f**k was going on with that family. I put the phone down and Nora and I painted each other nails, singed songs. The sun was coming down, and I didn't want to go home, but I knew I had to. I said my goodbyes to Nora and her grandmother and walked to my car. I got home my parents weren't there I’m alone in the world that I created for myself after a couple of hours. I walked to my room and laid down until I closed my eyes. I woke up at three in the morning to a text saying Nora is not to be trusted. What did this mean, and why was someone sending me this? Was it Nina she doesn't like, Nora? Is it someone from Nora's past that I was coming to ruin her? There was a knock at my door. I ran downstairs there he was after the skatepark I don't even know why he here.
'Come on Ava let's talk we can make up, we dated for two years you can't the unknown girl ruins what we have, ' Logan said
What we had was a lie he f****d ever since Tilly, Darleen, and Hellen. But I want to hear what we had because we had nothing. I pulled out my phone and showed him the text message to see if he had anything to do with this, but he looked like he was high and he was drawing a blank. My parents walked through the door and they didn't say because of Logan being here, but they had no issue causing a s**t show to Nora, I told Logan to leave because I didn't want him here and my parents invited him to spend the night. What the f**k did they think Logan being there was going to trigger something in me and make me what to be with only him.
'Mom, dad it's me, your daughter. Me being the way I am changes nothing, ' I cried
'We're all for the LGBTQABCD, but sweetie your black in the eyes of other they don't see the mixed in you and then you add the gay factor. You won't live' My dad said
I can't believe my parents, I can't stay here they want me to hide who I am because it doesn't fit for them but I can't part of me felt like I hid who I was for longing and I can't do that not for them and not for the world. I told Logan to leave my house now, and my parents protest about this.
' He's our guest if you don't like it. Leave, ' My mom said
I went upstairs. I can't believe my mom said that I grabbed some stuff and rushed downstairs and went into my car. I had nowhere to go, I could sleep in my car, my phone went off. I thought it was Logan getting ready to brag about how my parents chose him over me. But no it was Nora. I explained everything to her and she told me that her dad was out and that I could stay there. I drove up to her house; she walked outside to the car. She got in the car.
'What's up' She said
'My parents choses Logan over me and they kinda kicked me out, ' I said
I rested my head on the window I still can't believe my parents did that to me; they know what Logan did to me and how that relationship was hell. They choses him, Nora and I talked about plans after high school, I explained I wanted to go to art school in New York, Nora also wanted to go to New York. I guess New York is a place to escape. I'm still trying to understand how my parents could choose Logan over me. Speaking of the devil, he couldn't just leave me alone. I don't know why bothered to save his number on my phone. The number not helpful to me at all, I removed his number from my phone in order to declare some peace. I knew Logan he was probably in my room looking through it because he finding blackmail.
'What are you going to do?' She asked
'I need my parents. I don't know what I will do in this world without them, ' I said
'But by having them in your life you'll be having to give up who you truly are for what approval, ' She said
It sounded smart until she said it don't know what I'm going to do then I got a text from my mother and it read. We're sorry Ava and we would like to meet Nora and her family. Can you please come home? I showed Nora the text. She gave me a questionable look and I know it's a long shot.
'How about we start slow and they meet me, I can't have them meeting my father you know the crazy drunk and the homophobic, ' She said
I nodded, and Nora pulled me into a kiss. She got out of the car and walked back into her house after dealing with my issue for any hour. I would have stayed, but I didn't want her father to show up and then there was an issue, so I just went home. As I walked through the door of my house, my parents greet me a hug at the door and they showed me all the flags that they created because of editing. I ignored all of that and just went to bed before Nora agreed to a dinner today. My mom came in rushing after me and I didn't want to hear anything from her.
' I know you mad at me, ' My mom said
'Mad doesn't cover it you invaded my privacy by reading my diary and you choses Logan over me, your own daughter, ' I said 'Please leave, ' I said
I laid in my bed, trying to think of a better thing. Nora was texting me back and forth and I'm just felt happy I called it a night and fell asleep. I don't understand the human mind. I couldn't control themselves they say, or she was asking for it. As I laid in my bed being blinded by the sun. I thought, how would this dinner go, what would my parents say about Nora, about me. I was questioning a lot as my mom came into my room with breakfast.
'Sweetie, eat', she said
'I'm good after all, dad and you don't trust me so why so I trust you' I said
'I'm your mother, ' She said
I wanted to yell, and I wasn't ready to come out because part of me always knew I had this thing that stood me out from the others in my school. I blurred it deep inside, that I was something more great than myself. I got out of bed thinking about how much of a s**t show today was going to be, but I'm going to push that aside. Nora called me to prepare for on dinner and we went over what to say to my parents how to address them and ect. My mother harassed me again. She didn't even knock this what I'm talking about.
'Nora, I have to go to my mom here, ' I said
I hung up the phone and put it on my side dresser. I got out of my bed to plan what I'm going to wear today. My outfit had to be like I wasn't trying hard but I was trying I needed something casual but not too overboard. I care that she here but like not to over the moon. My mom notice me freaking out, not that I needed her help, but he picked out a suitable outfit. She handed me a blue corset dress, and I shook my head because it was over the top. I needed to know what Nora was wearing so I can be like three point five better in outfit choices. Nora good me she was just wearing jeans and tee nothing too fancy. I think I freaked her out cause then she asked should she, I couldn't even give her an honest answer. I wanted everything to be perfect; I know I only know Nora for like three days. But getting to know her has been amazing and I hope my parents can see that in her as well. I felt bored I had nothing to do leading up to dinner Nora asked if I wanted to come over to show me some moves on the skateboard. I told my parent where I was going and got ready I put on my copycat Melanie Martinez shirt and my galaxy leggings and my Doc Martens combat boots. When I got over to Nora’s house, she was already outside.
‘Show off,’ I said. ‘You must do this to all the ladies’
‘Nope, only girls with curly hair and brown cute eyes,’ she replied
I blushed she pulled me into a kiss and I pulled away and smiled. Logan and his goons came over. What the f**k. He had this huge grin on his face that I just wanted to pull off. He and his friends were doing whistling
‘I'm a sore eye a for this look Ava,’ He said
'Bite me, Diaz' I said
'Time and place, ' Logan said
I rolled my eyes and turn my attention to Nora and her trick: she did something in three-sixty; I know little about skateboard but I know much about skateboard but my cousin Katrina always trying to teach me how to ride one but I can’t. Once Logan and his goons, left Nora explained how Brad one of Logan buddy was flirting with her friend Kenny which was crazy but it was nothing out of the ordinary with Brad he will sleep with whoever he want and Nina will blame the girl for all of it. After talking we notice that the sun was going down I didn't even know how long we been out here. I went inside with her to say see you later to her grandmother.
'Grandma, I'm going to meet the guardian dinner with Ava's parents, ' She said
'And why the hell was I not invited to this, I'm going to be here full time, ' Nora's grandmother said
She eyeballed me. Nora just wanted it to be her and my family at first I looked at Nora for an answer. I was staying out of this one. Nora's grandmother scared me.
'Grandma, I didn't think you wanted to go to some boring dinner, besides Ava's parents are god loving weirdos, ' She said
She was right, but they're not like god christian. Nora's grandmother wasn't taking no for an answer she said she will be ready in five. Nora and I sat in Nora's room until her grandmother was ready. I picked up her copy of Great Gatsby. How could she not like it, F. Scott Fitzgerald was an amusing writer of his time? I read over her note and I agreed with some of them, like if Daisy loved Gatsby so much why wasn't she there at his funeral and if it's The Great Gatsby why wasn't it told from Gatsby POV?
'I disagree The Great Gatsby is one of the most amazing novels of his times, ' I said
'Oh sweet child, your parents have been putting nonsense in your head and what you believe Columbus discovers America also, Read The Bronte sister, Jane Austen, Emily Dickinson'
'Ms. River's'
'Call me grandma Rivers',
I understand that Columbus discovering America is bullshit but comparing the world best female writers to the story line. Now if I had to choose between the world-famous writer and F. Scott Fitzgerald. I would choose the women of writing and not the man who stole work from his own wife.
