I'll mouth, ''I love you.''
Chapter 7
Avalaya
The next morning, school went quickly. Nobody noticed me; nobody said anything about me being mute. Carson didn't talk to me at school and when I woke up he was already gone for school. After he apologised last night, I left the bathroom. I didn't know what had got into him. I drove to the address Josh had gave me and got out. It was an old warehouse. I didn't know if this was the place. I walked inside to hear noises and saw a guy punching a punching bag. ''Avalaya?'' he questioned. I nodded my head. ''Yes, Josh has told me all about you. I'm David.'' He had dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. He looked around my age, maybe a few years older. ''So, laya, show me what you got,'' he smirked. In a moment I had him against the wall. ''You are good, I didn't believe you where Laya.''
''David, where do you wa-'' a guys voice stopped abruptly. I turned to see an older guy standing at the door.
''This is Laya,'' David said, hoarsely.
''Laya? No way… she's so little,'' the guy said and I glared at him.
''Anyway, Laya, you can let go of me now.'' I let go of him and he got his breathe. I got my phone out, curious of one thing.
I typed, 'why aren't there any people here?'
''Oh, nobody usually comes on Tuesdays,'' he said. ''Josh just thought you'd like to come and check the place out.'' I looked around the place, it looked a lot like the old place I used to do MMA at. I was tempted to start punching one of the punching bags but realised I had came straight after school and was in my school uniform. ''Say, theres a party at my cousins house on Friday. Do you want to go? You're new, right, so you could meet heaps of new people.'' I nodded my head. ''So that's a yes?'' I nodded once again. ''Okay, give me your number and I'll text you the details later on. I'll come and pick you up, kay?'' I gave him my number. This would be my first party, Emilee had tried to get me to go to parties back at home but I had never wanted to. Honestly, I felt like if I went to the party, it may impress Carson. It may tell him that I'm a normal person except I don't talk.
Soon after I left and went to the place that was now my 'home'. ''Where have you been?'' Carson asked as soon as I walked into the house. I furrowed my eyebrows. He got a paper from the table and a pen, handing it to me. ''Write.'' I shook my head.
I write, 'no.'
''Why not?'' Carson asked.
'I don't need to tell you,' I wrote. Carson obviously didn't like that answer.
''Just, just tell me… I was worried.'' That alone made me want to tell him, that also made me want to kiss him.
'I went to visit someone.'
''Who?'' I shook my head. I wasn't telling him that. He smiled. ''Okay, fine. I was just worried. I thought something happened to you, Ava.'' 'Ava,' he called me Ava!
I knew from that moment that I was falling fast and hard for this arrogant jerk.
Comment for a reminder
I hope you like it! :D
Teaser: I saw a picture of a smiling girl. She was at the beach, a locket around her neck. The very locket that I was wearing right now.
