After Aiden's heartbreaking breakup with Pearl, the next devastating news he heard was about her death. A hit and run. They had plans to graduate high school and be together in college, but nothing ever went as planned.
And when Pearl's look-alike...

Anyone who passed by where I stood thought I was acting unusual, they blurted out that I was crazy and I didn't stop crying to fight back. I was so heartbroken to stop these tears. How in the hell did this happen on such a happy day when we were supposed to be celebrating? I did wrong, I did wrong. It was so wrong to drug her.
The tears weren't going to do me any good. I ran to the school, looking everywhere for him. I asked few people and they said he went into the boys locker room. I ran there, wiping my tears and breathing heavily. I went inside the changing room and he was putting his clothes on. I ran to him and held his hand but he threw my arm off and frowned at me.
"Do you know the crazy things I thought of doing to you? You better stay the fuck away from me Ava. I mean it." He scowled at me and I didn't want to be moved by it.
"My reasons are stupid and what I did is unforgivable but we don't have to break up Justin. I'll give you your space, I'll give you all the time you need to forgive me but please... please let's not break up."
"Ava, I'm done! I'd be out of my mind to keep this shit going. We both wasted each other's time and I realized this too late but I don't...I don't love you like I thought I did."
"Justin you..." I paused at the bubbles rising in my throat. "You said you did and I know you do."
"You're just stupid." He hissed at me and walked out on me. How stupid was I exactly? I wanted to know.
The following days proved my actual stupidity. Running after the guy who didn't want me no more and forcing to talk to him in front of everyone when he wasn't even looking at me proved I was really stupid. The calls I made to him and the thousand texts I had sent to him got him angrier and guess what, he blocked me. Justin blocked me out of his life like I never meant anything to him. He made it obvious to everyone he wasn't cool with me and I didn't know how to explain that to anyone, especially Aiden.
Gradually, he distanced himself away from us because my presence irked him. I do not remember a day going by without me apologizing to him and begging him to at least unblock me. I asked Aiden to beg him to talk to me again and he asked why.
"What did you do to him?" He asked. I bit on my nails as he was waiting on me. "Why should I tell him to talk to you Ava?"
"I did something bad to his ex girlfriend and he found out and now he's mad at me because he thinks I'm evil."
"And are you not evil?" I frowned at him and he cocked his eyebrow at me. "I suspected you had a thing to do with his breakup with that hottie. You're really evil Ava." He said and I threw the throw cushion in the couch at him. "I'll do my best."
"Thank you." I smiled at him and he rolled his eyes at me.
Then the next day at school, Aiden blew my horn at lunch in a form of apologizing to Justin in my stead. Justin wasn't even paying attention. He was eating his food and ignoring me so well. "I don't want to talk about it." Justin said.
