Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 307: Side by side
Avery's POVI was at cheer practice the next day when Mia showed me her phone.She did not know what she was showing me. That was the thing that made it worse. She walked over during the water break with her phone held out and said, "Have you seen this? There is a whole thread about it on the Crestwood forum."I took the phone from her and looked at the screen and something in me stopped.It was two images. Side by side.On the left was a screenshot from the second video. Scarlett mid-performance, mask covering the upper half of her face, wig changing her hair, the warm amber lighting of the Velvet Underground behind her. On the right was a photograph of me from the Crestwood athletics page. Avery Nash. Cheer captain. Looking directly at the camera in my uniform with my squad behind me and my hair pulled back and my full face visible.Between the two images was a question mark.The forum post underneath the images said: Anyone else seeing what I am seeing or am I losing it?"It looks
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 306: Closer
Avery's POVI couldn't get myself to tell Liam the truth anymore and I just decided to endure the situation till it died down. But it just got worse. Jade sent me a link on Thursday.That was the part that stopped me. Not the video itself. Not the fact that a second clip existed. The fact that Jade, who had no connection to the Velvet Underground or Scarlett or any of it, had come across the video on her own feed and sent it to me with a message attached. "Have you seen this? Whoever this is, she is really good."She had no idea she was sending me a video of myself.I was in the library when the message arrived. Thursday afternoon. Students around me working quietly. My phone face up on the desk. Jade's name and the link and the words that had no idea what they were carrying.I picked up my phone and pressed play.It was longer than the first one. Over two minutes. The angle was different, closer to the stage, from the left side of the room. The image was clearer than the first clip
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 305: Extra plan
Brianna's POVIt was now ten days after the anonymous message was sent to Avery with the blank account and nothing had changed.I was at the table with my phone open to the video post, scrolling through the comments for the fourth time that afternoon, and nothing in it had changed from the day before. The clip was still circulating. The shares had reached nine hundred. People were still commenting, still tagging friends, still saying things and wondering who she is and swearing that they know her. But nobody had named her. Nobody had connected Scarlett to Avery Nash publicly. And Avery herself had done absolutely nothing.That was the part that was making Colton angry."She received the message," he said. We were at the bar again, the four of us, the corner table that had become ours by default. "She received it on her personal account. She knows we have her name. She knows we know about the boyfriend they she's scared to loose. And she has not done a single thing differently.""She h
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 304: Almost
Avery's POV I got through Friday's set. I do not know how. I stood on that stage for forty-five minutes with the message sitting in me and I moved and the audience gave back the energy. I came off, changed, walked back to the community centre, texted Liam, let him drive me home and said nothing the whole way. I was really getting exhausted with the back and forth and I was not sure I could take it anymore. I lay in bed until three in the morning not sleeping and then gave up and started assembling the words to end my misery instead. I spent all of Saturday trying to say them. Not the words themselves. I had the words. They had been in my head since three in the morning, the same sentence going around the same track, the way it did when you were terrified of saying it. Liam, I need to tell you something. That was the opening. Clean and direct. The kind of sentence he would hear and put down whatever he was doing and give me his full attention because that was who he was. He wo
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 303: The message
Avery's POVLiam was in my kitchen fixing a sandwich when the message arrived. We spent more time at my place to avoid rubbing our relationship in Jade's face.It was Friday at half past five. He had come over after training to drive me to work as usual. He really insisted on being an intentional boyfriend to help me save gas money.I was standing at the counter putting things in my bag while he sat at the table talking about the away game next weekend when my phone buzzed.I picked it up expecting a text from Gerald or a notification from the squad group chat.It was a direct message from a social media account I did not recognise.No profile picture. No posts. No followers. The account had been created that day. The message was three sentences long.I read them."Avery?" Liam asked. "You still with me?"I looked up from my phone. He was mid-sentence and had noticed I was gone."Sorry," I told him. "Just a notification. Give me a second."I picked up my bag and my phone, went to the
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 302: Push harder
Brianna's POVThe four of us met on a Tuesday evening at the same bar Nikki had chosen the first time because it was the only location all four of us had agreed worked.The post had been up for five days. I had been watching the numbers seriously.I tracked it methodically. The trajectory was what we had expected. It was not viral. Neither was it dead. it was moving at the speed campus content moved, fast enough to reach anyone in the Crestwood orbit within a week, slow enough that nobody outside it would care.Six hundred and forty-two shares. Two hundred and eleven comments. Three separate reposts to campus-affiliated accounts.The comments were the part I had been watching most carefully. Not for the count. For the quality. In the first forty-eight hours, most of them were emojis and venue tags,even though they were just tagging random step clubs. By day three, some people had said she looks familiar. By day five, someone had said she moves like someone I know and that comment ha
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
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 032: Liking him more
Avery's POVHe did not answer straight away.I had asked about Jade like I was asking about a random stranger I didn't know. He was quiet as if there was an elephant in the room for a second or two before he picked it up. I lay still and waited and told myself I was just curious, that it was a natu
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 th
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
