Don't be scared

Don't cry

Avans POV

(On phone)

"Hey Liz" I said waiting for an answer

"Oh hey Avan" she replied a few minutes later I could hear someone shouting her name angrily in the background I didn't know who it's was or why they were shouting her name like that but I didn't dare to ask, because she probably wouldn't tell me anyway or start crying which she's been doing a lot of lately.

"What's up Avan?" her voice braking

"Oh yeah sorry erm nothing really just wanted to know if you maybe wanna come out for a bit later," I said trying to concentrate on her voice and not the one in the background

"Oh erm I......." The phone went dead.

I decided to drive to her house, because something was definitely wrong and hearing her almost cry on the phone again I just couldn't leave it anymore.

'Ding dong' I rang the door bell..... No answer I rang again and this time some guy I'd never met before opened the door.

"Hey is Liz there?" I asked

"Yes but she's busy why?" The strange guy asked me sternly

"Can I see her?" This guy was weird I don't know what it is but there's just something about this guy that bugs me.

"Wait there" he took at least 5 minutes to answer one simple question something definitely wrong

"LIZ" I shouted seeing her face relieved

"Hey Avan sorry my phone died yeah let's go now" she's seemed hesitant to leave

"Yeah sure".

Liz's POV

Avan will never know how thankful I am for him to have come to my house I couldn't stay there any longer I needed to get out.

"How you doing then Gillies?" Avan asked with a smile

"Yeah I'm good you?" I said lying obviously

"Yeah great better now I know that your ok" he answered looking at me like an adoring child

"Your sweet, where do you wanna go?" I laughed

"That's so nice to hear, er wanna go to my house we can have something to eat I'll cook it on the barbecue I can do some of your weird vegan food" he joked

"Hey and what's so nice to hear?" I asked hitting him lightly on the chest

"You laugh again" now a quite long haired Avan said whilst driving off

"So your house then?" I questioned

"Sure I have something to show u when we get there" he seemed excited

Avans POV

I was so happy Liz seemed to be acting some what normal again I don't know how long it would last so I'm planning to enjoy this time with her. I love Liz okay she's amazing and talented and just so beautiful, but I can't ask her out not now, not when she's been acting the way she has. I wouldn't I couldn't jeopardise what we have now I don't tell her this but she's like my best friend and obviously I want to be more but I just can't and she has a boyfriend anyway so it wouldn't make a difference.

His name is Jacob they started dating last month we used to see a lot of him but then for some reason it just seemed like he'd disappeared he was never around and Liz never talked about him? It's a strange relationship they have well if they are still together. My one big problem with this Jacob guy is that he treats Liz like shit he never texts her first or calls she has to make the effort and when he gets home he expects his dinner to be ready and laid out on the table for him, even though Liz is the one who works and makes money. It just pisses me off at the end of the day Liz deserves 1000000 times better than that she's so special and for him to be doing that to her just isn't right.

"And we are here" I said braking silence

"God I haven't been here in what feels like forever" Liz somewhat whispered

"Yeah come on let's go in I have to show you something" I think I sounded like an 2 year old but I was just excited to show her my surprise "close your eyes"

"They are closed where am I going?" She seemed to be holding her arms up to her face I don't know why?

"Open" her expression said it all "surprise do you like it?"

"Oh my god Avan!!!" I think she was crying "I can't believe it you actually did this I thought you were kidding!!!"

"Why would I kid?" I smirked seeing how happy she was

Okay so last month when Liz came to my house she said how cool it would be if there was a balcony looking over the sea that went the whole way around the house I thought about it a lot and decided that I should do it.

Liz's POV

I can't believe Avan did this I really didn't think he was going to. It looks amazing, but why do I have the feeling he did this for me? Like sure he probably just really liked the idea but I don't know it just seems weird how excited he was to show me?

"Liz you wanna show me how to cook this vegan food, cause as you can tell I don't usually cook this kind of thing?" He said slyly

"I didn't know u cooked at all Jogia" I smirked getting him back

"Hey I cook!" He shouted back defensively, I couldn't help but laugh.

Avans POV

Liz was being her self around me that was the best feeling to have her feel like she can be herself.

"So what's life been like?" I asked then immediately regretted as she broke down in tears.
