Ava's P.O.V.
Working at Clifton Market while her thoughts were everywhere but work was not Ava's idea of a fun time, but then again, it's a paycheck. While in the midst of doing inventory, Ava
sees a bike pull up at the store, Abel's bike.
As Abel starts walking up to the store, she thinks about how much she wants to go up to him and say something, anything but then that night in June comes back to her, she can't do anything. Her hands are tied...
"Ava!" Abel comes in with his impossible to ignore grin.
"Hey..What can I get you?"
Ava asks trying really hard not to look at his face. His face was always what drew her to him. Not many people knew this, but it wasn't hard to figure Abel out, all one had to do was
watch him and how he acts. He was young, but the silent type and a strategist. Whenever something happened around town, Abel was more than likely involved and from what Ava
hears, Abel's old man, Jax, was the same way when he was 18.
"U can come to the bonfire with me." Abel says taking his sweet time looking her over. He's been doing that a lot lately. She'll catch him just staring at her from a distance or finding opportunities to touch her on the arm or back when they pass by each other at school.
"I don't know if I'm going yet, and it wouldn't be with you if I was." Ava says thinking that spending time with him would not be the smartest thing to do as she turns around to the filing
cabinets to store some receipts.
"What the hell is with you? You've been avoiding me since that night in June." Abel says starting to yell and braces his hands against the counter.
"Stop yelling. You're gonna get me fired! Would you just go?" Ava says playing with her green-colored braided bracelet while avoiding looking into those brown-green eyes of his.
"We're gonna talk this shit through, babe, and soon." Abel says. "You were pretty interested the last time we had the bonfire."
"Things change" Ava says inwardly wincing at how weak her voice sounded.
"Yeah, we'll see." Abel says picking up a snickers, and dropping money on the counter. "Keep the change, Ava."
Ava goes to ring the money up and reminds herself to talk to Maddie about getting Abel to keep his distance.
Abel's P.O.V
Abel Teller is his son's son, through and through. He's Incredibly loyal and protective of his family, and at times, can be the jackass one wants to shove in a ditch in the middle of
the desert with no cactus in sight. Around Charming, you can always find him with Trevor Winston, son of Opie Winston. Many suspect these two were the master-minds behind a lot of
shit that goes wrong. At last year's carnival, an old lady that was about to expire any day started talking about how Maddie's shorts were too short, basically calling her a whore-in-
training. When the carnival was ending, the old lady went back to her car, and found lubricant all over her windshield and a condom hanging on her antenna. Funny part was the condom
was filled with white cream. The old hag screamed until she was horse and had to take a water-break. The cream was a aging-prevention cream. Nobody could prove who it was, of
course, but people had their suspicions.
Abel left Ava's work wondering what was up with her. She wasn't like the other girls in Charming, the ones who stuck around for popularity shit. With Ava, what you saw was what
you got. There were no pretensions, and Abel knew she was into him, but ever since that night in June, she's been avoiding him. The bonfire was a sudden thing, it was just something
to do. Abel asked Ava to go with him because she was new but also cause there was something about her that just pulled him in. Abel was driving down to the garage on his way to see
Trevor. Abel drank that night in the hills, but Trevor didn't because he had to drive them both home. Abel didn't remember drinking so much, but aside from driving down with Ava and
Trevor, he couldn't remember shit. Abel had a feeling that whatever the reason Ava was pushing away was whatever he couldn't remember from last night.
Hey, everyone!! I just want to thank the people who've reviewed. You guys are great :) Just to clear things up a bit, in my tory, Donna is alive. I hated the fact that she died so I kept her alive in Floating. Also, Abel's sister is Maddie and Madelyn is her full name. Again, thanks everyone for taking the time to give feedback. It is appreciated.
