Forbidden Fruit: Mated To My Sister's Best Friend Chapter 242

Tina's Point of View

"Why are you here?" Ava asked. We were sitting across from each other at the jail. I decided to take Sofia's advice and speak to her. I meant it when I told Sof that I felt bad about Ava. I knew It was my fault that she ended up the way she did. I gave her away to a woman I didn't even know. Just thinking about it made me feel even worse. Why did I do it? I knew why. Because I was afraid of raising two children at once. The crazy thing was that I thought if I gave one of them away, I would do better raising the other. That didn't happen. Even though I gave Ava away, I still mistreated Sofia. I still didn't understand how Sofia could forgive me after everything I had done to her. I knew most wouldn't forgive a parent who did the things I did to her. But Sofia did, and I was so grateful for that. 

Sofia was one of a kind. She was caring and loving. She cared about everyone's feelings. She didn't want anyone to be hurt, even if the person did something to her. I knew she felt bad about Ava's situation, just like I did. Even though Ava betrayed her she still didn't kill her. She wanted her to have a chance out there once her punishment was complete. Ava should know how lucky she was because most would have killed her for what she did. 

"I came to talk to you," I said

"I don't wan to talk to you," Ava said

"I know you don't want to talk to me  but I think we need to talk. Look  Ava, I know you are upset with me and you have every right to be. I wasn't a mother to you."

"No you weren't. So there is no reason for us to speak," Ava said

"I am sorry, Ava. I am sorry for giving you up. For not being a mother to you. I wish I could go back and change what I did but I can't go back in time. I know I am partly to blame for the way things went. I am to blame for what you did. If I never gave you to Queen Gina you never would have done the things you did. You have no idea how much I regret it," I said and Ava laughed. 

"You regret it. That's funny. You say you wish you could have made different decisions. You wish you would have kept me but then what, huh? You wouldn't have treated me good. You would have done the same things to me that you did to Sofia. You were never a good mother. You mistreated Sofia. You even were okay with giving her to the old vampire king. I am happy you didn''t keep me. Even though Queen Gina turned on me at the end at lease she gave me a good childhood. I had everything I wanted and then some.  I never had to suffer by her hands like Soifa had to being raised by you,"" Ava I coudln't stop the hurt that came to my heart hearing her say those things. She would rather stay with a woman that betrayed her in the end then be raised by me but honestly, I couldn't blame her. 

"You are right. I know I was a terrible mother but I am changing that. I know I don't deserve a second change to have a relationship with Sofia but I am happy she is giving it to me. What I do know is that I will never hurt her again. I am gon to be the best mother that I can be."

"Sure you will," Ava said sarcastically. 

"I... um.. I know you probably won't agree but I still want to ask you something," I said and Ava just stayed silent waiting for me to continue, "I want to be here for you like a mother should. I know you don't see me as your mother but I still would like to try to have a relationship that is if you would let me," I said

"I don't want anything to do with you," Ava said

"I know but I am still going to be here for you. I will come to visit you again," I said 

"Don't even bother. I already told you I don't want anything to do with you. You are not my mother," Ava said. I knew it would be hopeless to keep talking to her so I decided to leave. Even though Ava didn't want me in her life I meant what I said. I would be there for Ava. She needed me even if she didn't know it. Hopefully when she saw I was sincere she would agree to give me a chance to be her mother.
