Ava

“You what?”

I feel all of their stares bore into my skin.

“I’m going to stay with Zane’s grandpa after the home nurse is done.”

Darby’s face holds the most questions and I know that I’m going to hear from her next.

“So you are telling me that after next week you will be basically babysitting Zane’s grandpa?”

I shrug my shoulders in their direction knowing that this conversation is going about as well as it did with Zane. The girls have no idea how much I want to do this and it’s not because of Zane, it’s because I want to. The man is dying and doesn’t even have the right to have a nurse at his side taking care of him. Zane works day in and day out and needs help. To me there is no question of doing it or not.

“I’m going to be there. I’m going to do it girls, whether you like it or not. I’ll get lots of writing in and I’ll also be helping Grandpa while he is dying.”

“What about us?” Chloe asks.

“You guys can come over anytime you want and we will have time in the evenings to do things.”

Darby hops off of the bed in one quick leap. “You are in love, Ava. I can see it in your eyes and on the glow of your skin that you are in love. Not just any love, but something more. Like head over heels in love. Zane had better not break your heart. I’ll crush his balls in the palms of my hands.”

Chloe joins, giving her two cents about how I’m wasting my summer and the fact I came here this summer to be with my girls. A part of me tuned them out and the other part halfway listened, but they’ve all fallen in love, they’ve all been there and they know the feeling. Also, I am pretty sure Chloe is the last person to have any say in this; we are her bitches here this summer helping her prepare for the wedding of her lifetime. We only have two more short months before all of our parents and all of the our hometown people arrive, expecting to come face to face with groomed daughters from prestigious families.

Just the mere thought turns my stomach, nearly making me physically ill. It’s the last thought I want to mull over while being waist deep in a summer love romance with the promise of so much more. I listen long enough to my best friends before laying down the law.

“I’m going to do it whether you approve or not. Zane’s pissed about it, but I don’t care. It’s in my nature to take care of him and give and that’s what I’m going to do. Zane is going to talk to Rhett’s mom and a few of his grandpa’s friends to see if they can help out as well.”

Chloe sits a little taller on the bed and looks me straight in the eye.

“I think this is pretty shitty of you, Ava.
