Chapter Twenty Four - "Well... Shall We Continue?"
___

Avery's P.O.V

"Aunty Heather, I swear I didn't know you were going to be home this early and we weren't going to do anything anyway - I mean, it looked like we were going to have sex on the couch but we weren't and I'm-"

"Avery, be quiet." Aunty Heather laughs and she gives me a smile. "Your just lucky it was only me and it wasn't your parents." Aunty Heather says and I nod, a small frown on my face. Logan looks around the kitchen as silence hits the air but thankfully, Aunty Heather made it go away.

"So, what is your name and when do you plan on popping the question?" Aunty Heather asks and I gasp, hitting my Aunty's arm softly.

"We aren't even dating, Aunty Heather!" I say, my voice rising in shock. Aunty Heather narrows her eyes at the both of us, a small mischievous grin on her lips.

"Then why did I catch both of you about to do the dirty on the couch? Oh, I see what this is now. You two are those type that have those wierd 'friends with benefits' thing, aren't you?" Aunty Heather grins and I gap at her.

"I told you we weren't going to have-"

"Let the boy talk, Ave." Aunty Heather says, using my nickname to shut me up and I groan, running my hands down my face. We both look at Logan who is grinning slightly.

Wait, why is he grinning?

"First of all, my name is Logan and not really, it's just that we have a little bet we made earlier." Logan says, sending me a short grin and I glare at him.

"What the-"

"Well, Logan, Avery, I have to get going since I only came here to see if I closed the door." Aunty Heather says, standing up. She walks to the door and before walking out of the house, she sends us both a wink.

"Don't forget to use protection." Aunty Heather says before closing the door and I gap at the door.

Something is definitely wrong with my Aunty.

"Well... shall we continue?" Logan asks, a grin on his lips and I narrow my eyes at him.

"Are you on drugs? No fucking way! What the hell is wrong with you!" I growl at him and Logan laughs.

"Didn't you enjoy it?" Logan asks and I glare at him.

"Of course I did - I mean-"

"Busted." Logan says, the grin playing on my lips and I flip my finger up at him.

Fucking asshole.

"Where the hell were you?" Claire asks, running up to me. I shake my head and wave her off.

"My mom called me home to... clean my room." I lie and Claire nods slowly, not really believing my words.

Yes, I am terrible at lying.

"Sure..." Claire says before grabbing my wrist and walking towards the cafeteria for lunch. I frown at her but before I can ask my anything, we have reached the cafeteria doors but we don't head in. Claire breathes out and sigh and faces me.

"I think I'm falling for Patrick. I know it hasn't been long but I swear, I am. We have been hanging out after school and stuff and I... I don't know why I am saying all this but I just feel like I should tell you." Claire says and I smile.

"You want some advice?" I ask her and she nods.

"Well, I reckon you should talk to him about it. Take a chance." I say and Claire sighs, shaking her head.

"I don't think he likes me." Claire mumbles and I grab her shoulders, frowning at her.

"Don't think like that. I'm sure he does because if he didn't, he wouldn't be spending so much time with you." I explain and flash Claire a grin. Claire looks at me for a few seconds before smiling.

"Okay." She says and she pushes the doors open but the scene in front of us makes us both stop.

"P-Patrick?" Claire mumbles, tears forming in her eyes. Katie pulls away from Patrick and sends us a wink before looking at everyone in the cafeteria.

"Patrick and I are officially dating!" Katie announces and I gap at Patrick who is looking at Claire with guilt and concern. Katie sends us a smile and Claire immediately spins around and exits the cafeteria. I glare at Katie and march up to her, my hands on my hips as I glare at the two.

"What kind of sick game are you trying to play, Katie?" I spit, pushing Katie hard and she stumbles into the table.

"Avery, please don't start-" Patrick tries to say but I raise my hand and slap him.

"You! I am so disgusted with you!" I say and when I go to slap him again, I see Logan in the corner of my eye, smirking at the scene. I lick my teeth in annoyance and drop my hand to my side.

"Don't talk to Claire again, got it?" I snap but instead of hearing Patrick's voice, I hear Katie's.

"Why would he? He is dating me so I don't know why you would be hanging out with her-" Before Katie can continue, I grab her hair and smack her face into my knee.

"Shut the fuck up!" I scream at Katie and let go off her hair so she drops to the ground. I turn on my heel and walk out of the cafeteria.

It's so wierd how your day can change so quickly.

"Claire?" I walk into the girls bathroom and push open the empty stall but I don't see my best friend. I push open all the empty stalls and stand back to see that there is one door closed and I sigh.

"Claire." I say, knocking on the door. I hear a sniff and I lean my back against the door, waiting for Claire to speak.

"I-I thought he wouldn't... hurt me." Claire mumbles and I nod even though I know she can't see me.

"Boys are boys, Claire but honestly, I thought he was the type of person to respect a girl but now, I don't think that at all because if he was that type of person, he would've ran out of the cafeteria and chase after you-"

"But he didn't and I was wrong about him. I am always wrong about boys." Claire says and I shake my head.

"No your not. Remember Henry? He was nice to you." I smile and Claire sniffs again.

"Thats because he had to be nice to me. He was my tutor." Claire says and I laugh.

"You might think I'm stupid but there is this book I read the other day and the tutor of the girl and the girl got together. That book reminds me of you two." I say and I hear a small laugh escape Claire's lips.

"Y-Yeah, but he was actually pretty nice." Claire says and I nod.

"Believe it or not, I have his number. I am tempted to call him right now but I don't know what to say." I say, a small grin on my lips as I look at the wall in front of me.

"Can I talk?" Claire asks and I take out my phone and slide it under the door.

"Have you guys spoken ever since the break up?" I ask and Claire lets out a laugh.

"Of course. We are like best friends." Claire says and I smile, nodding.

"In that case, I will leave you to it while I go to class. You know where to find me when your finished, okay? I have English." I say and I don't wait for Claire's reply and walk out the door.

"I was wondering why you were taking so long to come out of the bathroom." I hear a voice say and I squeal, looking beside me to see Jennifer, a girl from the cheerleading team.

"What the hell do you want and why were you waiting for me?" I ask, holding my heart as Jennifer gives me a smile.

"I just wanted to inform you that we have practice at lunch." Jennifer says and I nod slowly.

"Anything else?" I ask, a little annoyed. Jennifer nods and brings her face closer to mine.

"Just a little secret between the two of us..." Jennifer says ans I wait for her to continue.

"Katie is super scared of how you plan to take her spot as captain of the cheerleading team away from her." Jennifer begins to walk away and I grin, turning around and start to make my way to English.

Katie? Scared?

Well, much more of a reason to steal her precious little title away.
