Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 028: Falling out
Avery's POVI went to the window and looked down.Dean was at the curb in his jacket, moving toward a dark saloon I had never seen parked on our street before. It was not one of the neighbours and it wasn't a cab. It was just a car, engine running, waiting for him like it had been arranged.I picked up my phone and opened the camera.I made sure to get a picture of the plates before he pulled away, along with the make and the colour of the car. I had no single trust when it concerns Dean so I was taking precaution.The car turned at the end of the road and was gone, and I stood at the window in the dark for a moment.Then I went back to Liam's unanswered message. The cursor was still blinking. ‘Would you want to go for a drink sometime?’I typed ‘Maybe’ and sent it before I could think about it more than I already had, then plugged my phone in, got into bed, and stared at the ceiling until sleep eventually came.Sleep came late and I was up before my alarm, tired in the way of someone
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 027: Small talk
Avery's POVI sat on my bed in the quiet of my room and listened to Dean's voice finally trail off somewhere downstairs. I didn't give a shit about whatever he was saying. He was useless to me and didn't deserve any respect from me.Then the house went quiet. Maybe my mum succeeded in calming him down, I didn't care.I looked at the ceiling and let it be quiet for a while.My wrist hurt faintly where Dean had grabbed it. Not badly. Just a dull reminder around the joint. I pressed my thumb into it and thought about his expression when the slap landed. The way the certainty had gone out of his face all at once, like a light switching off.I thought about my mum standing in the doorway once again like a coward.I thought about Jade. It's been a while since we had a fight. Besides that, we had never fought about boys. It was annoying that we were fighting about one now, and the worst part being that she even hated him.I thought about Liam and the things Jade said to him.I looked at my p
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 026: Another slap
Avery's POVI heard her footsteps behind me on the steps before I had made it to the bottom."Avery."I kept walking."Avery, stop." Her voice had changed. The edge that had been in it for the last ten minutes was gone and what had replaced it was something more uncertain and less ready to fight. "What do you mean you were sexually harassed? Stop walking and talk to me."I reached the bottom of the steps and kept going until I left the library and was across the paving toward the car park."Avery." She jogged to catch up and came around in front of me and I had to stop or walk into her. She was slightly out of breath and the shopping bag was swinging from her hand. I couldn't believe she came all the way to the library from shopping to confront me for being there with her step brother who she didn't even like at all. Her face was different now, the practiced blankness she had worn all afternoon during practice stripped back to something I recognised better. "Tell me what happened. P
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 025: Not your world
Avery's POVFor a moment nobody said anything.Jade stood two steps below us on the library steps with her shopping bag in her hand. I wondered how she knew where we were. Either way, the look on her face was not the quiet, contained version of hurt she had worn all afternoon at practice. This was the other version, the one she got when something she had suspected turned into something she could see with her own eyes.She looked at Liam first. Then at me. Then back at Liam. And then she looked at me with pain in her eyes."What are you doing here?" I asked."I should be the one asking you that." Her eyes settled on me and stayed there. "You told me you had something to do for your mum.""I can explain," I said. "It is not what you think it is.""Then explain," she said. "Because what I think is that you looked me in the face and lied to me so you could come here with him.""We're in a library" I said. "It is not how it is.""Then what is it? Because from where I am standing it looks l
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 024: Working together
Avery's POVBrianna definitely had it coming and I wasn't going to let her get away with making me look bad this time.“I'll see you later.” Priya said and I watched her walk away.I took deep breaths to pace myself before springing into action that definitely would have consequences.I stood at the edge of the track with my bag over one shoulder and I told myself that their actions changed nothing.Colton was no longer my boyfriend. So whatever he chose to do and whoever he chose to do it with was entirely his own business.It was just annoying that they were making me out to be a joke by flirting openly in front of the whole football team and cheer squad.The part I could not shake was not him. It was her. I'm sure Brianna had done it because she wanted to be seen doing it, and she had calculated exactly by who.Which meant I was the point of it.I picked up my bag and walked to the car park, removing myself from that field before I changed my mind and pounced her.Jade was leaning
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 023: Practice on the field
Avery's POVI was driving.Jade had offered but I had the keys already and we both knew the real reason was that I needed something to do with my hands on the way to cheer practice that afternoon. She sat in the passenger seat with one earbud in and her chin resting on her hand and she watched the streets go past and said absolutely nothing to me for the first ten minutes.I let it go until I could not anymore."Talk to me," I said."I am fine.""Jade. You have said about twelve words since I knocked on your door this afternoon.""I did not sleep well." She pulled the earbud out and looked at me fully. "Can a person be tired without it turning into a whole conversation?""When it is you?" I glanced at her. "No. Usually when you go quiet like this it means something.""Not everything means something," she said."With you it does."She was quiet for a moment. Then something softened slightly in her face, just around the eyes, the way it did when she was deciding to let me closer than sh
