Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 108: I will leave
Avery's POVIt was good to have her back. Not the Jade from the last few weeks, who was more stuck up on making sure I avoided her new step brother Liam than caring about being my friend at all. I didn't want to admit it, but her absence really affected me these past few weeks. guten Liam was there to pick up the slack while she was in her head. If not, I may have gone crazy by now with all the things I had gone through in her absence. I paused at my front door and looked at the house. I was honestly not looking forward to going back in there. Even though my anger had reduced a bit, I was still upset that my mom would rather side with Dean than me.I was very tired of it happening over and over again. I was tired of being the person who held it together while everyone around me looked for reasons not to. I let myself into the house. My mum was still at the kitchen table with a fresh cup of something hot in front of her. She had the look of someone who had spent the last hour going
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 107: My best friend
Avery's POV I was annoyed to see Jade at that moment when I was in a heated argument that needed sorting out with my mum. "I heard you on the phone with Liam this morning. He wasn't exactly discreet when he called you. So I heard everything." She kept her eyes on mine. "I came to check on you."I looked at my mum. My mum looked at the counter. There was nowhere useful for the argument to go now. The three of us in that kitchen felt suddenly too many, or maybe just wrongly arranged, like furniture that had been moved and not put back."I cannot talk about this right now," I said.I picked up my jacket and my bag and walked past Jade into the hallway. I heard her footsteps behind me without needing to look.We walked two streets down without talking. I had too much in my head to make conversation and Jade seemed to understand that. She walked beside me at my pace with her hands in her coat pockets. "I'm sorry about yesterday Avery. I try to make things better but I keep on making it
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 106: Still very angry
Avery's POV I stood very still with my jacket in my hand.The screen had locked again. The kitchen was quiet. My mum was still near the window and she had gone very still like a person who has been caught and is deciding which direction to go."When did you call him," I said.She turned to face me properly."You just received a text," I said. "Just give her time. That is what he said to you. Which means you called him this morning, told him what I said, and he is now giving you instructions on how to manage me." I put my jacket on the counter. "When.""Avery—""Before or after I came downstairs and told you what he did."She closed her eyes for a moment. "After," she said. "After you went back upstairs the second time. I needed to ask him directly. I needed to hear it from him.""And what did he say.""He admitted it." She said it quietly, the way you said something you already know is going to be used against you. "He said he needed the money urgently and that he should have asked f
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 105: Not fine
Avery's POVI looked at his message for a moment before I typed anything back.'How are you feeling today? And I'm sorry again about Jade yesterday. She had no business doing that.'I typed a response. ‘I am okay, Dean left this morning and took something from my room and I am furious but I am handling it.’I deleted it.I typed another response. ‘Fine. Could be better. Jade was fine. Do not worry about any of it.’I deleted that too.I typed one final response. ‘fine, and Dean, my mother's boyfriend is gone.’I sent it before I could change my mind.The reply came back in under a minute.'What do you mean gone. And are you actually fine or are you just-saying-fine.'I put the phone down on the desk and picked it up again. There was too much to explain in a text. Too much that would come out flat without a voice behind it. I was still too raw and too angry to be deliberate with my words, and typing made me slower and more careful, which was the opposite of what I needed right now.I r
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 104: Gone for good
Avery's POVI went back downstairs.My mum was still at the kitchen table with her mug. She looked up when I came in and read something in my face before I had said a word."Avery. What is wrong."I sat down across from her. I kept my voice even because I needed her to hear what I was saying and not just react to how I was saying it."I had money hidden in my room," I said. "Cash. Two thousand dollars. I had been building it up for a while, a bit at a time, and I kept it in an envelope taped to the inside panel of my bookcase. It is gone."She looked at me. "Are you sure that is where you put it?"I stared at her."Are you asking me if I imagined it," I said. "Two thousand dollars.""No, I just — sometimes when you put things away carefully you forget exactly—""I did not forget." My voice was harder now and I let it be. "I know exactly where I put it and I know exactly how much was in it. I have been putting money in that envelope for months. It is not there.""Maybe he borrowed it,"
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 103: Dean is gone
Avery's POVI went for a run on Tuesday morning before anyone in the house was awake.I needed to move. The conversation with Liam the day before had given me something I had not expected, which was a clean feeling, the feeling of a weight that had been shifted from one set of shoulders to another, even though it did not disappear entirely. I had been carrying a lot alone for a long time and I had put some of it down, which made me feel lighter than I had in weeks.I ran for forty minutes. Around the block and down by the park and back up the hill that always killed me, twice, because the second time I made the top of it without stopping and that felt like something I needed today. I needed to do one hard thing and finish it. The hill was the easiest version of that available at six in the morning. The air was cold enough to hurt my lungs a little on the way up and I was grateful for it. Physical discomfort was a good thing to focus on when your head had too much in it.I got home at
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 015: We should stop
Avery's POV The words stuck in my throat and I couldn't get them out. I looked at him in front of me in the low light with his blue-green eyes patient and his whole body leaning forward like someone who genuinely wanted the answer, and I felt the name right there at the tip of my tongue. "I can'
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 011: Confronting Brianna
Avery's POVI had about three seconds to decide whether to stop her.I used them watching Jade cross the gym floor with that particular walk she had when she was done being reasonable, and I decided that three seconds was not enough time to get between Jade Rivera and someone she had decided needed
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 010: Only warning
Avery's POVHis hand was still in the air when I reached into my jacket pocket and reached for my pepper spray.I had carried a pepper spray since I got into college and some random dude stalked me in my first year. It came more in handy since I started working at the club and coming home either re
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 009: Supposed to hate him
Avery's POVTwo seconds.The handshake lasted exactly two seconds and I was the one who pulled away first.He let me go without comment, and for a moment after I dropped his hand, he just looked at me. Not the polite, surface-level glance of a person being introduced to someone they do not plan to
