Chapter 0349
“I’m surprised, but also impressed.” Reaper says, and I swear I could hear the amusement in his voice.
“Everyone talked about how much you loved her; I didn’t think you’d ever hurt her, especially for Ava.”
“People don’t know shit.”
It’s as I said that it finally hit me. My love for Emma was completely gone. It was dead, and maybe it
has been for a long time now. What I feel for Ava is stronger.
Looking back, I was infatuated with Emma and the idea of love. Plus, everyone used to say that we
belonged together. That we were perfect together. I think that went to my head. I heard it said so much
when we were younger that maybe it brainwashed me into thinking that it was the truth.
Everyone wanted us together, including our mothers, who pushed us to always be around each other.
What if what I thought was love was nothing but an idea planted in our heads by our mothers? A
fantasy they had no business pushing on
1. us.
If it wasn’t for the constant pushing, would we have gotten together? Would we have started dating?
The answer is probably a big fucking NO.
“Rowan, are you still there?”

it’s bigger, stronger, and more than I’ve ever felt for Emma.
“Yeah, I just got lost in thoughts for a minute,” I reply
“Right,” he says, drugs the words out. “I’ve got shit to do; I’ll talk to you later.”
“Sure”
It wasn’t even ten minutes after we hung up that I got another phone call. I don’t recognize the number,
but I pick it up anyway.
“Rowan, it’s Calvin.” I’m surprised, but the urgency in his voice catches my
attention.
“What happened?”
“It’s Ava; she’s unconscious.”
I don’t wait for him to finish his sentence. I hang up the phone and rush out of the door. I could hear

My heart was gripped in a tight fist as scenario after scenario of the worst played in my mind. I’m not
afraid of admitting that I was fucking scared.
The drive is a blur, and without even realizing it, I arrive at Calvin’s home. I pull out my number and dial
his number.
“Where are you?” I asked immediately, not caring to conceal my fear.
“At Ava’s old house.”
I rush there and find the door open.
“In here,” Calvin’s voice calls out.
I move quickly and climb up the stairs. I head on over to the master bedroom to find him seated at the
edge of the bed, with Ava lying unconscious.
“What the fuck happened?” I yelled, crossing the short distance towards Ava. She was so still, and that
fucking scared me.
“I don’t fucking know. She asked
the house, and I told her it was hers. Then
she asked for a key, and I gave it to her. It’s only after about forty minutes that I
