Avery P.O.V.
I am lying on my bed with my head on the pillows, reading a love story about a historical romance about a rake and a wallflower. I have been doing that since I have been up for an hour now. I was in the part when Janie and Rod kissed under the moonlight under the stars.
Then suddenly I heard my phone ringing.
When my phone started ringing, I picked it up and heard Ashely and Natalie over the phone.
"Hey, you finally answered your phone," Ashely said with a released tone in her voice.
"Oh, hey Ash, sorry, I just got up an hour ago. I am in my bedroom."
"Oh, okay, we are over!" She said excitedly. I didn't want her to feel like she and Nat had to come over. So, I told her and Natalie.
"Oh, Ash and Nat, you don't have to come over to my house." What I really wanted to do was be by myself for now. But I didn't have to heart to say it. So instead, I said come over.
I waited for my friends to show up. So, when I heard Ashely yelling at someone downstairs. So, I climbed off my bed, walked out my door, and started walking downstairs...
"What the hell are you guys doing here!" Ashely told me people are here in my house. She is not happy. I heard a growl in her voice when she asked them a question.
"Now, Ashely, be nice to our guests. They are just here to see how Avery is doing." I heard my dad say.
"Yeah, right. They are here to harm and hurt her." She told my dad and mom. What is going on? I have to see who is here. So, that was when I walked around the corner. I spoke. "Hey, what's going on?" I saw...
Elijah P.O.V.
Jake and I were sitting in the living room talking to Avery's Dad, and her mom went inside the kitchen and got us something to drink and snacks. She shut a sweet lady. She is my mother's best friend, and Avery's dad is my dad's best friend and Beta. We just chatted, but we started losing time. Why are we here? So, I looked over at Jake. He was thinking the same thing I was. We are here for business with Avery.
That was when we heard the doorbell ring. Avery's mom got up and went to the front door. She opened it and smiled, and we saw Ashely and the shy girl name Natalie walking through the door.
Ashely walked throw the living room walkthrough. She stopped and turned towards us. She had to angry expression on her face.
"What the hell are you guys doing here!" She said to us with a growl in her voice. She is not happy that we are here at Avery's house.
"Now, Ashely, be nice to our guests. They are just here to see how Avery is doing." I heard Mr. Williams tell her. She rolled her eyes at Jake and me. But she didn't look at Mr. Williams but at us with hatred in her eyes.
"Yeah, right. They are here to harm and hurt her." She told Mr. Williams and Mrs. Williams.
If Ashely shuts up right now, we will tell them why we are here. But Ashely kept talking and yelling at us. She threatened to beat Jake and me up.
Suppose we are here to hurt her best friend. But why would we hurt her? If we know she, our mate. I don't blame her. I was, and Jake was mean to Avery over the years.
But I was just a stupid kid back then. I changed now, "Well, only now since you found out she is your mate, asshole!" Axel said.
"Oh, that's not true!" I told him. But really, what he was saying is true. But I didn't want him to know he was right. I rolled my eyes at him. I started paying attention to what was going on around me again.
"Hey, what's going on" I heard Avery say. I turned my head and saw my beautiful little wallflower standing there in the doorway of the living room.
Avery P.O.V.
I saw my mom and dad, Ashely, Natalie, Jake, and Elijah sitting in my living room. What in the world are they doing here? I can't move, and I can't stop staring at them. Why would the two most popular guys have been sitting in my living room? If someone said, Elijah Woods and Jake Stone be sitting in my living room. I say they were lying right now.
"Hey, Avery," I heard Ashely say. I saw Ashely and Natalie walk towards me, and they hugged me. I am embracing the girl's back. Then I look behind them. I see Elijah and Jake staring at me. They are giving me a strange look. Why are they here? So, Ashely was not happy. She kept giving them the devil stare. I would hate to be them right now.
"Ashely, stops it!" I told her with a giggle. You need to be nice and friendly," I told her with a shake of my head, with my hand covering my mouth from laughing.
"I am not going to promise anything, but I try to be good," she said with a growl when she stared at the guys.
"Okay, now stop it!" I told her again.
"Oh, alright, I stop giving them a murder stare." I turned around and saw my father and mother laughing behind their hands. I rolled my eyes and giggled. I let go of my best friends. I started walking over toward the guys.
"I didn't get to thank you from earlier. So, thank you for bringing me home," I told the guys. They just stared at me and nodded their heads at me.
"You're welcome," Jake said, staring into my eyes. I see the care in his eyes. What I know that he cared for is me right now. I see things. Jake Stone cares for me. Yeah right. I thought.
"Now, how would you know if he doesn't care for you, Avery," Angelstar said.
"Because guys like him, and Elijah Woods doesn't go after girls like me. That's why I think it is fake. They don't care for me." I told my wolf. She still doesn't believe they are playing me. I am glad they helped me and took me home. But why did they? And why are they still here at my house? Now they know I am okay now. They should leave now.
"Well, now you know I am okay. You don't need to stay here anymore," I told them.
"So, believe me, I am fine. So, you can leave." I told them with so many emotions. But I didn't want to show them how hurt I was by what Elijah did to me at school.
