Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 399: A little normal
Avery's POVI wasn't happy about the way Jade barged in and laid accusations on me. I really missed my best friend and I was working towards making things work again between us. Despite that, I understood her pain. She used to always be the first to know everything that happened in my life, but now is seemed like I kept a lot of things to myself. I decided to give her some space again, knowing fully well that we can't stay apart from each other for too long. She came back to my house on the fourth evening. We had an awkward cheerleading practice just that afternoon and I guess she could not bear the silence anymore.I heard the knock and opened the door and she was standing there looking like someone who had come over to vent."I hate that I cannot stay angry at you," she said immediately as I opened the door. "I tried. I gave it four days. I meant every word I said, and I still mean most of it. But I do not have it in me to keep this up any longer, and I am tired of pretending I d
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 398: The pattern
Jade's POVI saw them from my bedroom window on Friday morning, standing close together on Avery's front step, his hand in her hair, her face tilted up toward his in a way that told me everything before either of them made a single move. My phone was in my hand and I looked at it, as if expecting to see some form of message or missed call I stood at that window watching a moment that clearly belonged only to the two of them, feeling like an intruder in my own house for witnessing it at all.I had not known they were back together.I stood there longer than I meant to, watching something that was not mine to watch, and then I turned away from the window and got dressed and walked next door before I let myself think too carefully about what I was about to say.Avery opened the door still smiling, the unguarded smile of someone who had not yet realised the morning had anything difficult waiting in it."Jade," she said. "Come in, I was just about to text you.""When did that happen?" I sa
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 397: kiss
Avery's POVHis mouth was already on mine before I stopped thinking about anything else at all.It was not careful. It was not the kind of kiss that weighed itself against everything that had happened. His hand rested against the side of my face, his fingers cold from the evening air, and I kissed him back with everything I had been holding for weeks without admitting out loud.The night had gone properly dark by then. Somewhere down the street a car passed, its headlights sweeping briefly across us before disappearing.When we finally pulled apart, neither of us moved very far, and I searched his face for any signs of regret."I have wanted to do that since the day you held my hand again," I said, my voice quieter than I expected."Which day?" he asked. "There have been several.""The first one. Weeks ago. When you came and stayed with me and did not ask any questions. I was going through a lot on that day, and you holding my hand and just sitting here even though in silence really m
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 396: I want to be here
Avery's POVHe came across the grass without warning. His footsteps were unhurried but he was coming, and I watched him the whole way."Hey," he said, lowering himself down beside me without waiting to be asked."Hey."We stayed there without saying anything for a bit."We have not actually talked," he said. "Since everything. We have been at practice, next door to each other, in the same spaces, and neither of us has said a word.""No," I said. "We have not.""I want to. Tonight."I looked at him. He had the expression of someone who had thought this through before walking over, and that steadiness was enough."I was afraid the whole time we were apart," I said. "Not just of losing you. Of you deciding I was too much. Too tangled up in things you never signed up for when you first started noticing me as the girl next door. Dean. Scarlett. Your dad and Ashcombe on top of all of it. I kept thinking eventually the weight of it would just be too much to stand next to.""I understand why
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 395: Trying to be normal
Avery's POVNobody talked about it directly for two days.We moved around each other carefully, my mom and I. Both of us doing ordinary things with a kind of focus. As though concentrating hard enough on the dishes or the laundry might keep the last two days from catching up with either of us. Might let us pretend for a few more hours that nothing had happened on our own front door.Jade texted every morning, the same short message. Still okay? I would reply yes, and she would send back a single word, good, and that would be the whole conversation. Both of us understanding that neither of us was ready yet to say more than that.I went to work on Monday."How was your weekend?" Denise asked, glancing up from her screen."Quiet," I told her."You look tired.""Long weekend," I said.She did not push, and I was grateful for that.My mom kept to herself more than usual. Long stretches in her room with the door not quite closed. When I checked on her she was usually at the window, not doin
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 394: Statements
Avery's POVThey took statements one at a time, each of us in a different corner of the front garden. An officer worked through the same questions with each of us in turn, patient and methodical. The afternoon light had gone down while none of us were paying attention. Longer shadows stretched across the grass. The ordinary business of a day continuing regardless of what had almost happened in the middle of it.I gave mine standing near the door. My voice was steadier than I expected. The details came out in order, plain and simple, the way I had learned to say hard things without softening them."Take your time," the officer told me, when I paused partway through describing the gun. "There is no rush.""I would rather just finish it. If I stop I do not think I will be able to start again properly."He nodded and let me continue.When it was done, the officer doing the paperwork by the police car looked up at another who had been on the radio, something passing between them."Confirme
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 008: The audacity
Avery's POV"I was wondering when you were going to pick up," Colton said.His voice was calm, without any ounce of guilt present there. He didn't even sound particularly apologetic. Just smooth and measured and rehearsed, the voice of someone who had spent the last several hours deciding exactly h
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 007: Stranger from last night
Avery's POVI couldn't move.I just stood there on the front step staring at him like an absolute idiot, and he stared back at me with no recognition whatsoever on his face, which made sense, because the last time he saw me I had a full face of stage makeup, a black wig down to my shoulders and a r
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 006: Recognise him
Avery's POV My mum thought I was waitressing at a bar somewhere downtown. It was a perfect alibi for my late nights and the decent tips I brought home on work nights. There was absolutely nothing to worry about. I had kept that story clean for months and I had no plans to change it."Busy night,"
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 005: Back to reality
Avery's POVThe first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was the dim light.It was creeping in through the gap in the curtain, pale and grey, the kind of light that meant it was not quite morning yet but getting close. The kind that meant I had stayed way too long.The second thing I noticed was
