It was weeks since they had arrived at the island and the day she woke up only to find her world was completely shattered. Rook had left her again the same as before when she was asleep without so much as a goodbye. The only parting Gift was the stupid cat who seemed to like her better anyway. Sophia and Simon had their own house and even though they tried to convince her otherwise she moved into her own house. The loss of her little sister then him leaving just snapped something inside her. Some days she was up and the only thing that kept her going was the drive to care for the horses.
Her belly was getting larger by the weeks passing and most days she didn't even leave the couch. Ava didn't really sleep in the room because it was lonely and it was just a reminder that he was gone again. It was early in the morning when she found herself out cleaning the stalls. The task took her longer to do the bigger she got but she wouldn't let anyone help her. She couldn't even remember the last time she spoke words to another human being. Once the chores were done she turned three of the horses out and saddled her horse up.
Climbing onto his back she nudged him forward and hit the trails out behind her property with Skidmarks purring on the horse hindquarters. Every single day she found herself at the same point on the Cliffside overlooking the water. It was a decent ride and she slid down off the horse. Moving close to the cliffs edge she would look down and contemplate the idea of just taking the plunge straight off it. They only thing that stopped her was Aiden and even that was growing to be a bad excuse.
Laying a blanket out she sat and stared out into the open water for hours. Her eyes were so cried out but tears seemed to fall anyway. She could feel the child moving in her stomach and eventually she rose when she came out of her thoughts and felt how cold it was. With that she headed home to spend another night alone curled up with the cat.
