Why do I feel the need to talk to Ian? I feel there was something that happened which changed something. Looking at him doesn't seem so, he had always been a good word player. And I know it's impossible to take something out from him by playing games.
"Ava?!" someone shouted.
I looked up from the table and saw everyone on the table was looking at me with confused expressions.
"You okay?" Grace asked
"Yeah, I am fine."
"You have been staring at Ian from past 5 minutes straight and Grace have been calling you but you dint responded." Nina said with a bored tone.
"It's okay I understand I am a piece of work. You can stare at me as long as you want." Ian said with a smug smile on his face.
"Shut up Ian" Aiden scolded with serious expressions.
"I am sorry, I am tired actually. I will just get some air." I said getting up.
Walking to my spot I stood there, from past 3 days which is near the coconut tree on the beach from where I can see the sunset perfectly.
I felt someone was walking towards me, thinking that is it Grace or Aiden I spoke.
"I need to find out exactly what …" I started but stopped when I turned and saw that it was Liam.
"You need to find out exactly what?" he asked
"I… um nothing." I said and he sat next to me looking at the sunset in front of us.
"Did something happen? You are acting wired today." He asked me eyeing me cautiously.
"Yes and no." I answered which made him smile a little.
"Ian said your date with him was amazing."
"It wasn't a date and it was… good." I said with a frown.
"What happened?" he asked me
"Like you care Liam." I said and when I realized how rudely I replied it was late when I saw hurt in his eyes.
"I am sorry." I apologized immediately.
"Well, I do care Ava. It's you who doesn't care." He said narrowing his eyes. When I dint reply he continued.
"You left everything and ran, four years ago. Without caring about people, you were leaving behind, who cared about you who loved you. You were the one who dint care and left everything behind." He hissed.
I was shocked at his outburst. His face was red and his eyes were watery.
"It was the only thing came in my mind after what happened. After what you did and said I couldn't take anymore." I said looking ahead at the waves as they crashed the shore.
"So, you thought the best option would be running rather than solving the problem." He asked me.
"I dint have a choice. You accused me for cheating on you! I lost my mind" I shouted as tears streamed down my eyes.
"You could have slapped me thousands of times rather than leaving me. You could have not talked with me for some days but you choose to run away." He whispered the last part.
"I dint ran Liam!" I shouted as tears started streaming down my eyes.
"Then what did you do? You ran Ava, you ran from all the problem. You thought running would be best than to stay and solve them."
"NO! no Liam stop it please." I cried
"You feel that? The pain, the guilt. I have been living my last four years in guilt of ruining our relationship. But I was unable to make it right, the guilt dint even let me come to you and apologize. You dint even gave me a chance to apologize. I came to you that night. The guilt has been eating me from inside and killing me, Ava. I know I made mistakes but you could have stayed and made me realize them. But you ran, you gave up on our relationship. You gave up on me and you broke your promise to never leave me alone. You ran, just like my mother did." He said as tears started welling up in his eyes.
