Here's another one. :) If there are any suggestions, they would be really appreciated. Hope you guys enjoy!
With Ava feeling more confident in where she and Abel stand, she goes home to Luke and sees her mother's car in the driveway.
"Oh, come on. Why is it she comes around when I'm happy?" Ava mumbles to herself walking in. She sees her mother sitting at the dinner table with Luke and she's telling him something
but he's not hearing her, which is 9 out of 10 how it always is between the two of them.
"I'm home." Ava says dropping her stuff by the door.
"Hi, honey." Her mom, Claire, comes up and gives her a hug.
"I thought you were coming to Charming next month." Ava tells her going to sit by Luke.
"Oh, I know. I just couldn't wait. I heard you spent the night at Abel's." Claire tells her probing for information.
"No, mom. I spent the night at Abel and Maddie's. Maddie's a really close friend." Ava tells her thinking her mom doesn't need to know shit about her and Abel.
"You slept in separate bedrooms, though, didn't you?" Claire asks.
"Of course, mom." Ava says rolling her eyes hoping her mom would leave already and knowing that lying was the only way to get her mom off her back.
"I met a nice man back home, Ava. His name is Garrett Jones. I asked him to come here to Charming and try to help you through this phrase you're going though." Claire says reaching out
to take Ava's hand.
"What the hell did you just say?" Ava responds pulling her hand away.
"Claire, who the hell is Garrett Jones?" Luke asks demanding to know what kind of game she's playing. "And what the fuck were you thinking sending a stranger here to Charming to help
Ava? There's nothing wrong with Ava! How long have you known this man?"
"A little over a year. Don't worry, Luke. He's very kind and I was hoping he could be sort of a mentor for my , our relationship has been strained lately and I thought an outside source
would help us communicate again." Claire says looking from Luke to Ava.
"He's here in Charming because of you, mom?" Ava says starting to panic. How could her mother be so stupid? The man is a sick pervert.
"Yes. He was very interested in starting up a business here in Charming and I thought he could help guide you while he's here." Claire tells Ava not realizing the monster she unleashed in
Charming.
"Um, I need to get out of here." Ava says getting her keys.
"No! Ava, I am your mother and we will figure this out. You can't keep shutting me out. Either we figure it out here or you go back home with me, tonight and you won't be coming back to
Charming." Claire threatens standing up from the table.
Ava hears her mother's threat and walks out anyway, still in shock about her mother sending Garrett to Charming. As she gets into the car, she hears her uncle and her mother still
fighting inside. Ava drives away and keeps driving until she sees the sign that tells her she's leaving Charming.
Abel is hanging out with Trevor at the garage. Both of them are laughing their asses off as they see Gemma throw a wrench at Clay.
"What's up with them now?" Trevor leans over asking.
"Does anyone ever fucking know?" Abel responds laughing. Feeling his phone vibrate, he sees Luke is calling him. "Hey, I gotta take this." He tells Trevor and puts some distance between
them for privacy.
"Yeah" Trevor says distracted by watching everything that's happening in the garage.
"Luke, what's up?" Abel says picking up the phone.
"Ava's gone, kid." He responds.
"What the hell do you mean, gone?" Abel says getting worried.
"Her mom showed up, started talking some shit about Garrett Jones and how he was supposed to help Ava while she was staying here. Look, Abel, that's not important. She left her
phone, and she's not at your house. We need to find her." Luke tells him.
"Yeah, I'm on it." Abel says hanging up.
"Hey, guys! We gotta talk. Some shit just went down with Ava and her mom. Turns out her mom was the one that send Garrett here." Abel says telling everyone what Luke told him.
"What? What kind of stupid bitch is she?" Tig asks getting out from under the car.
"Her mom isn't the sanest person out there. She's delusional. Look, when Ava found out, she vanished. Luke doesn't know where the fuck she is. We gotta find her." Abel tells them.
"Of course. We'll send out search teams. We'll get her back." Jax tells his son.
Everytime shit happened in her life, Ava could always go to Maxie to help figure it out. Ava realized when she got to Maxie's, that she left her phone with uncle Luke. Oh, well. She says to
herself. Ava is laying down on Maxie's red comforter and wondering how she can stomach seeing her mom after what happened. And Abel. She told him once she wouldn't shut him out
again and look what she's doing. She's running, yet again.
"Hey, Ava." Maxie comes in wearing a short floral summer dress.
"What?" Ava responds turning around on her stomach.
"Honey, you've been here for two days. Not once have you called Abel. Listen, Trevor called me this morning. I told him you were here, and you were going to stay here until you're ready
to go back. What about Abel? And school?" Maxie asks putting her hand on Ava's back.
"I don't know. The only thing I'm sure of is that I don't want to see my mom. And I'm going back to Abel." Ava says taking the phone from Maxie and deciding to call Abel.
"Honey, Trevor told me that Abel's pissed. He's mad that you left instead of coming to him. He's pissed that you haven't called to let him know you were okay." Maxie tells her thinking
about the call she got from Trevor.
"I don't know, Maxie. It was like an instinct, just coming here." Ava tells her.
"Well, you need to learn to depend on Abel because he wants to be there for you, honey." Maxie tells her laying down on the bed.
"I know." Ava says getting up and going into the bathroom to call Abel.
As the phone begins ringing, Ava thinks of what to say.
"Ava?" Abel picks up. His voice sounding pissed.
"Yeah, it's me." She tells him.
"Are you okay?" He asks her.
"Yeah, I just had to think about some things. Abel, listen-" Ava sits down in the tub wanting to tell him everything that's been going on with her, but he interrupts her.
"If we're gonna talk, it'll be face to face. Get your ass back to Charming." Abel commands her.
"Well, gee, missed you too, babe. Don't order me around, Abel. And I'll be back tomorrow night." Ava tells him getting pissed and hanging up on him. She leaves the bathroom and Maxie
asks her how it went.
"It went shitty. That's how it went." Ava says turning on the stereo.
