Ava: Janey, I won’t hate you

Janey: I’m disappearing for a little while. See you Ava x

As I tried to get back to sleep, I knew I was completely alone again.

* * *

School was the same and I walked to my classes like a zombie, shut off from everyone. Halfway through the week, there was a new word on my locker—Burner! But I didn’t bat an eyelid. I knew who had done it, and I didn’t care. I’d rather be a so-called Burner then one of them any day.

My routine went back to going to school, coming home, and studying. I ignored the bitchiness at school, and I ignored the sickening relationship at home. I was in my own zone and wanted to stay there for a while to lick my wounds. I tried not to think of him. I tried not to long for him, but I did, regardless of my attempts.

I went shopping, bought sexy lingerie, changed my hair to an almost blue black and got them to put bright red streaks through it. I tried to make myself feel good, but it all just reminded me of how much I missed him.

I was still an innocent playing in an adult’s world.

Walking home one late afternoon, a 4WD pick up truck pulled up beside me and I turned to see Tyler. His tanned elbow was leaning out the window and he smiled hesitantly.

“Need a lift?”

My eyes narrowed.

“I thought you weren’t talking to me.”

He shook his head.

“I’m sorry, Ava. I was angry that you were with him.

“I wasn’t with him like that, he…”

“He told me the truth the other night. I got it out of him when he was blind drunk.”

“That he tried to rape me?”

Tyler frowned.

“Well, not that. He just said that he was drunk and thought you wanted him.”

I shook my head, hating that Antony would always be innocent in this whole situation. It irked me beyond belief. I looked at Tyler and decided to get in, because I had no one else to talk to, after all.

He drove back into the traffic.

“If it makes you feel any better, he’s been going through his own hell this week. Something to do with money that’s been stolen from his accounts, credit card fraud, and he’s had to change his phone number, because he kept getting obscene calls. Not to mention the damage to his car. He still thinks your friends did that one.”

I shook my head.

“They had nothing to do with it.”

“How do you know?”

“I was with them the night it happened, so it wasn’t them.”

“He’s had to get an extension on his assignments, because they were all lost when his computer died and erased everything. He’s been having a shit time of it.”

I looked out the window, hiding the secret curl of my lips. Zac had promised me that he would pay for what he did to me, and it made me glad that he had kept his word.

“So, are you still friends with them?” he asked next.

“I am.
