Avery’s pov

Tears pricked my eyes. Was it because of what would have happened if Xade hadn’t intervened or was it because Xade had come all this way for Mel? Why did the thought hurt? A few days ago I wouldn’t have minded.

Okay, maybe I would. I would always secretly envy the girls he had been with and based it on them taking his attention away from me. Had it been completely different all along? Was I jealous because I had secretly wanted Xade as more than a friend from the beginning?

Of course he’d show up for Mel. After two days of avoiding me, he comes here like her knight in shining armor to save the day. Then why isn’t he downstairs with her? Consoling her? Why is he trying to keep up with me as I brush past drunk idiots?

I can hear his calls behind me for me to stop, but I refuse to turn around and look back. I had a mission. A mission to get alone and not face him yet. I was kind of scared of how I’d react. The last time we were face to face didn’t end well and I didn’t want to say anything dumb that will further f*ck our friendship up.
