Too cute! It's great that Alex has taken the initiative to take things slow with Avery this time around. It looks like the wait was worth it for the both of them.
Seriously. This chapter was just wonderful. It's about time that Avery and Alex sorted out their feelings and decided to try out a relationship. And their date was a lovely mixture of sweet and corny. Plus you can't go wrong with an adorably nervous Alex Gaskarth.
"Are we just gonna ignore the giant elephant in the room?" I suddenly exclaims. Take note, the word 'exclaims' is present tense but I noticed that most of the verbs you used are in the past tense. The word 'exclaims' should be changed to 'exclaimed'.
There are some grammatical and punctuation mark mistakes but all in all, this chapter is quite good.
I just think it is best if you ask someone to proofread and edit your story before posting it.
Alex and Avery have a lot of unfinished business, so now that she's in LA, I'm hoping along with Jack that they finally talk things out. It's obvious that they're both still in love with each other, but Alex doesn't think the feelings are reciprocal and Avery is convinced that he is over their relationship.
I'm crossing my fingers that this mess gets sorted out soon.
Anyhow, thank you for posting another lovely chapter of this story!
