6 Chapter 5

Averys POV

I stormed out of Zades room. And my mind is absolutely blank. I'm confused, angry, sad. What's happening?

Since this new school year started everything is getting out of control. Tyler was right. Zade really don't think of me as a friend. When I realized that he tried to kiss me, my heart broke in thousand peaces. But I didn't feel disgusted or repellent. It just surprised me and though I felt a heavy pain in my chest.

Now while walking the stairs down I can still hear my heart pounding. Why do I react like this after his confession. I'm nervous. How can I look him normal in the eyes now?

,,Avery! Where are you going?"

Aria.

,,Holy...What happened?! You look terrible!

I couldn't reach you for three days!"

As soon as I was in front of Aria I closed her into a strong hug. „Let's get out of here first" I said in a low voice.

After Aria and I went to a coffee I told her everything.

,,I really would've never thought that Zade could possibly have feelings like this for you. Though I caught him many times staring at you for too long. So I should've known."

,,It's okay. This isn't even the worst thing that happened. What really made me pissed is Tyler."

,,Yeah, still can't believe it. It's just too... I don't know. It's everything but acceptable what he did. And how he still is. You can't go there again Avery. You stay with us. As long as you like."

„I'm not gonna stay with you guys. Its not like I can't deal with Taylor."

,,Yeah we could see that you can deal with him."

,,Actually I wanted to process first what happened between Zade and me. I don't know if I can look him right away in his eyes like nothing happened. Just like friends again. But Okay...I'm gonna stay. But only one day! After that I have to deal with Tyler on my own. AND don't be surprised if I avoid Zade. Because I will."

,,You don't have to say that Avery, it's okay. I already know."

She smiled at me with her caring smile and we drank out our already cold coffees. After that we decided to go shopping, to clear our minds.

I couldn't focus on anything though. Every time when I think about Zade, my heart is pounding. I don't want to see him. Because I don't know if I can manage to act like before. Before the time he kissed me. Before the time I didn't know that he's into me.

,,Hey Aria?"

,,Yeah?"

She's holding a cute, blue summer dress in her arms. I looked her in the face. She seems happy. When she's with me she always is. She can be herself and isn't that timid like in front of other people.

,,I want to ask you something. But don't take it serious. Just curiosity. What would you think about if we're together. I mean Zade and me... like a couple?"

,,Oh I...-Wait! My phone is ringing."

Aria pulled out her phone from her pocket and looked surprised at her screen.

,,It's Taylor."

,,What? But why is he... OH. My phone is still at Tylers house so he couldn't reach me."

,,Yeah that's probably why he's calling me. I'm gonna ignore it."

She put the phone in her pocket again. And with that she also forgot what I asked her.

After she payed for her dress we went to the car. It wasn't easy to find it because the parking lot was gigantic. And we both forgot where we parked.

Here was also the place where my life completely changed. I can't really remember anymore what exact happened. I don't know why but the hole day is all blurry in my thoughts.

I heard that you can forget something when it's connected with an traumatic event.

But the only think I know is that from that day on, I had a new family and I never saw my parents again. Thank god I never saw them.

The sudden engine noise wakes me up from daydreaming. Aria started the motor and so we're on our way home now. Not Tylers home. But Aria and Zades.

—

,,You both are late."

We stood in the living room with Zade and he scanned us from foot to head.

,,Don't be scared pussy" Aria teased him and boxed him on the arm. ,,Nothing happened to us."

,,Yea but it could've. I don't trust this jerk named Tyler. He's not hisself these days. Who knows what he might come up with next."

Aha nice. Escaped one boy from his noisy overprotective carp and now heres the next.

,,It's okay Zade."

I took Aria by her arm and dragged her to her room.

I wanted to try to avoid Zade, so I'm going to do it.

When we were in her room the first thing we wanted to finish was all the stuff I had to catch up in school. Even if my life is like a mess I always want to be prepared for school. And tomorrow is school.

After all the homework we decided to got to bed. We still talked like a hour though before we fell asleep. She mentioned little things that happened in school or funny moments in class I missed.

I was already really hyped for school.

Next morning:

Knock knock

,,ARIA! Avery! You know if you don't wake up now we'll all miss school right? SO WAKE UP."

I heard Zade screaming in front of our room.

,,You both are such sleepyheads." I heard him mumble while he walked away from our door.

I glanced over to Aria. She really is a sleepyhead. Even after Zades screaming she looks so peaceful. Might be in her deepest sleep.

I'll let her sleep longer.

So I stood up to prepare breakfast for us.

When I walked down the stairs I already heard voices speaking with each other. One of them was Arias Mom. She's literally the nicest mom I know on earth.

,,Oh hey Avery. Sorry I didn't heard you coming yesterday so I couldn't greet you."

,,No problem Mrs. George. Thank you for allowing me to stay."

I gave her a thankfully smile.

,,Oh sweetheart, this also is your home so feel free to stay whenever you want."

She gave me a short pat on my shoulder and took her car keys.

,,I'm heading out for work now, bye!"

When she left the house I made my way to the kitchen.

I know Zade must be in the kitchen because I heard him talking with his mum a moment ago. But when I entered the door there was nobody.

Hm. Then I can cook alone.

I opened the fridge and searched for something to eat. I chose the eggs.

This is a little weird. Normally I cook every morning together with Tyler. He's always before me awake but waits till I'm also awake so we can make and eat breakfast together. It's our daily routine. I wonder what he's doing right now. After he was so evil to me.

I don't know if he became like this because he thinks that he's the only one who's responsible for me. Like a single parent? I can understand that his intention isn't bad, but the way he acts is definitely not the right way. I don't know. But it's strange.

Whatever... I took the eggs and fry them in the pan.

Suddenly I hear a loud crash.

,,ARGHHH. FUCK."

The noise comes from the bathroom so I ran next door and smash in.

,,Oh-..."

Oh dammit.

,,Oh-.. ehh IM SO SORRY... should'nt marched in like that."

I felt hoe my checks went hot.

Zade was completely naked. Thanks god he had at least his boxers on.

He looked me shocked and confused in my eyes. His mound open. Sitting on the ground.

I hecticly tried to cover my eyes with my arms. But my dumb ass still wanted to know what this crash was.

,,I was just worried if something bad happened so I just ran without thinking..really I-"

,,NO NO! It's okay. Just let the vase fall down. On my feet."

He pointed with his finger to his foot.

,,Ohh.. It's bleeding. Very bad."

,,Yeah don't worry I'll just wash it now. Thanks for worrying though you can go now."

He smiled at me and tried to wave me back.

,,What are you talking about?"

I rushed toward him and kneeld me right in front of him.

,,Just sit back, I'll help you. It really looks bad. Washing won't be enough."

I reached my hand to the cabinet next to me and tried to dig out the first aid kit.

I feel his intense stare in my face. Then he really leaned back, with his back on the edge of the bathtub and silently watched me.

This makes me just more uncomfortable and my face becomes even more red.

I tried to hurry because his foot is still bleeding.

I slowly touched his foot and wanted to clean it first. When my finger touched his skin I felt how Zades body reacted. But I tried to act like I didn't notice.

But I hurried.

I bandaged his wound and wanted to stand up fast but he held me on the ground by quickly grabbing my wrist.

,,Hey I wanted to apologize again for what happened. You know...the kiss. But I don't regret it, so..-"

,,NO! Let's just forget it okay? And not talk about it."

I teared my wrist from his strong grip and stormed out of the room.

I went straight to Arias room and was surprised when I found an awake Aria.

,,Oh hey good morning. I already wanted to search you."

,,I made you breakfast downstairs. Eggs. You can eat. I'm not hungry."

,,Oh okay... Thanks!"

She winked at me and ran the stairs down.

God, that was a nice start in the morning...

When we arrived at our school, me, Zade and Aria walked inside the building.

Our first class wasn't the same so we had to split up.

,,See you later!" I waved them while walking down the hall to my classroom.

When I entered the door barriere I immediately got goosebumps. My neck hair straighten up and I let my gaze inconspicuous wander. I can feel his presence. Someone- no... SOMETHING is in here whos aura is too strong and dark.

I spent 2 hole years for training my sense with Uncle Rob. So I can feel the presence of a creature which is not supposed to be on earth. And on top of that it's the strongest I ever felt in my two years of experience. Uncle Rob taught me much more things, but this was one of them. I have skills, that exceeds the human can. I'm more capable of things, than a normal human being.

So I let out my own energy.

Ha... let's see how he's going to react to this.

I smirked.

He's not the only one who is exceptional strong.

Suddenly I saw a dark shape moving in the corner of the eye.

I have him. I lured him out.

I spottet the person with my eye.

And I was like paralyzed. This was not what I expected. Though I don't know what I even expected. But this person is actually so noticeable, that it's wonder me why I didn't saw him on the first day of school.

This guy has a strong and big body and he's wearing a leader jacket. He has long dark hair and when our eyes met, I felt anxious. He could look right into your soul with these eyes. He stood in the back of the classroom and stared at me.

I can see his angry facial features.

I really don't understand why I didn't notice him before when he has a this strong presence. He may have keeped his energy in his body. But this must be exhausting. Because normally for someone with this much power, it's painful to hold back all your power.

Why is he showing it now then?

Maybe because he's so angry that he can't hold it back.

I mean I can tell that he's angry on his face. And on his look I can tell he's angry at ME.

So I went out of the classroom. This lesson can wait. But this situation right now not. I have to deal with it.

And I know that he'll follow me.
