Love was a weird concept for Ava, all aspects of it. Her mother had never said to her face that she loved her, she had shown it in actions. Ava had felt it, her mom's love. And Titus was the same, he didn't need to say it for Ava to know he cared about her. Which was why Ava was so confused. She shook her head and let it sink down against her knees. Her heat was almost completely gone, leaving just a tired, tired Ava."I don't fucking get it, Hal. I really don't. They got absolutely no reasons to lo-...care about me outside of the family tie. I don't get why they would even take me in after seeing what a pain in the ass I am. I'm not wallowing in self-pity, it's just the truth that I'm not the easiest person. And neither was my mom, which was probably why that asshole bailed in the first place."
