"Ava do you mind helping me with the table?", Cameron asked.

A week later and my mom is already moving once again. They're moving to California I guess because that's where Cameron's family is. It sucks that my mom will be moving though and Im not going to see her again until my wedding.

"Yeah sure", I nodded picking up the other side of the table.

I helped him carry it outside onto the moving truck. We have everything almost done except for the bigger things. My mom came out after us, carrying a box that said "kitchen stuff". When Cameron saw her, he immediately grabbed the box out of her hands.

"You don't need to be doing this", he said.

"I want to help though. It's not that hard and it'll get gone way faster", she whined.

"Stop whining and go sit down please."

She sighed and went to go sit down on a chair right outside the door. I pulled a chair in front of her and sat down too.

"Honey you look exhausted", my mom said in a sad voice. "You need to take a break."

"That's what Im doing... Why are you moving so suddenly?", I asked.

"We've been planning to move and I meant to tell you but I just never got around to it.."

"How? You talk to me everyday and you couldn't mention you were moving all the way to California? I find that hard to believe", I said rolling my eyes.

"It's complicated, Ava. You wouldn't understand."

"Yeah okay mom."

And with that a got up and went back into the house. I wasn't trying to be rude but I know that something is up. She wouldn't just move out of nowhere and not tell me about it.

"What's wrong baby?", I heard Chres ask from above me.

I looked up and saw him standing there, looking down at me. He smiled and sat down against the bare wall next to me.

"Tell me", he said.

"Im fine."

"No you're not. I don't like when you do that, Ava", he sighed.

"Where's Cayson?"

"He went outside with your mom when you left."

"Oh.. Okay.."

He grabbed my hand and started playing with my fingers. "Is this about your mom moving?"

"Yes."

"Im sure there has to be some reason. Remember, we had to move out of nowhere too. Im guessing that Cameron has some sort of background here just like I did."

"Yeah I wouldn't be suprised but I still wanted her to tell me. It's like she doesn't trust me", I said.

"Or maybe she's just not ready to tell you. Just be patient and she will okay?"

"Yeah I guess you're right..."

He smiled,"Im always right baby." He leaned over and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"That's it?"

"You already know this is not the place for making out and shit. I won't stop", he laughed.

"You can never stop", I smiled back at him.

"I got you tonight. Promise."

As soon as I got in the house, I went straight to the cabinet. I took out my new bought vodka and began to open it.

"You shouldn't-"

"Be drinking. Blah blah blah.. Look, Im exhausted okay? I just want one drink", I said pouring it into a glass.

"You're drinking it straight like that?", he asked.

Before I could answer, Cayson came walking in. He saw what I had in my hand and of course he asked for it.

"Mommy can I hab some?"

"No Cayson.. You can't drink this."

He stuck his bottom lip out,"I one now!"

"So what. You still can't. You need to go her ready for bed."

"Tomorrow Monday mommy."

I rolled my eyes,"Yes and you go to day care so go put your pajamas on, get in the bed, and watch TV okay?"

With that, he stomped his way out of the kitchen an towards his room. I picked up my cup and practically drank it in one gulp. When I grabbed the bottle for some more, Chres stopped me.

"You don't need anymore", he said pulling my hand away from it.

"Let go of me."

"No.. You don't need to drink anymore."

I pushed him away from me and reached to grab the bottle again. He came back and pulled me away from it again, this time picking me up. I repeatedly tried getting out of his hold and slapping at him but I couldn't get out. He carried me to the room and dropped me onto the bed.

"What the fuck Chres?! What's wrong with you?"

"No, Ava, what wrong with you. You're being mean and rude to everyone you've been around. Me, your mom, Cameron, Cayson..."

"I am not being mean to Cayson."

"Yes you are and you don't even notice it. I understand that your mom is moving and all-"

"You don't understand! Im never going to be able to see her again. She's the closest person I've had."

"I don't understand? Really? You're fucking ridiculous. All I had was my mom and my dad but what happened to them? Hm?"

I stayed silent because I knew I was wrong. I forgot about all of that.

"They're fucking dead, Ava. DEAD! Im NEVER going to be able to see them again. Ever. And you're gonna sit here and tell me that I don't understand? That's bullshit."

The tears were clearly shown in his eyes and I already knew they were coming out of mines.

The sound of Cayson's voice is what interrupted my thoughts.

"Mommy.. Daddy.. Are you hurted each oder?"

I wiped the tears from my eyes and smiled down at him. "No baby. We're fine okay?" I reached down and picked him up, walking to his room. I laid him down in his bed and put the blanket over him.

"I dun like when mommy and daddy fight", he said quietly.

"I know. Im sorry. It's my fault. And Im sorry for being mean to you too. Mommy is just a little frustrated, that's all."

"Is okay.."

"Go to sleep okay. I love you."

"I lub you too mommy", he said already drifting off to sleep.

I gave him a small kiss on his forehead before walking out of his room. When I went back to mines, Chres was pulling his shirt over his head.

"Im sorry about what I said..", I apologized.

"I don't wan to hear it", he mumbled getting into the bed.

"But I-"

"Just forget about it okay? Just... Leave me alone right now."

I decided to say nothing else so I just got in bed too. I turned off the lamp and laid back down hoping that his arms would wrap around me like they do every night. But they never did. All I heard were the faint sniffles he failed to hide.
