Elijah P.O.V.
After I watched Avery walk out the door crying and shit, I felt my heart tear inside me, I wanted to hit something. So, I ran out the door. I should go follow her, but I won't. I am going to give her some space.
Jake P.O.V.
Outside the school, I was smoking behind the buildings when I heard someone coming like footsteps. It sounded closer. That was when I saw Avery, my mate, stop before me.
"Jake, hi" I didn't see you there?" she said with sadness in her voice and looked down and played with her hair. It sounds like she has been crying. When she didn't look up, I lifted her chin. I saw her eyes.
Like I was saying, someone made her cry. I was getting angry when I saw her face was all red and I saw a broken expression.
"Wow, what's wrong, Avery," I asked her with concern in my voice.
She didn't want to tell me and see me right now. Because I see her being broken and letting her guard down, she's usually always brave and strong. She never allows people to see her break out of her shell.
"I am just leaving school; I need to go home," she said with a mumble under her breath. I can tell it with sadness.
"Well, hey, I walk with you," I told her with a smile on my face. But she didn't act. She wanted me to go with her. So, I asked her instead.
"Is it okay if I walk you home, Avery?" I asked her this time and did not tell her to.
I was waiting for her to speak. But she didn't say anything to me but nodded her head instead. So, I took that as an invitation for a yes to walk her home.
I hold out my hand for her to grab it. I gave her a small smile.
"Come on, sweetheart." Let's get you home." I told her. I saw her staring at my hand stretched out like she didn't know what to do. Like she should grab it or not. Then about a couple of seconds later, she grabbed hold of my hand, and I looked at her with a smile, and we both started walking to her house.
Avery P.O.V
Outside my house
We stopped walking, and we talked about what happened at school and whether we were going to school for college. I told him I got a lot of offers, but I needed to think about which one I wanted to go to. He told me the same.
He also got a couple of offers, but the one he wanted has yet to come. While we were walking and talking, I forgot my hand was inside his hand. I didn't want to be rude and let go. But he let go. I felt sad he let go. But why should I feel this way? I should be glad because he's not my mate.
But inside, I feel like his. I don't know. Maybe he could be my friend. I would like that a lot. I don't have a lot of friends well, except Ashely and Natalie, but Ashely is my first cousin. I was in my thought when we stopped in front of my house. I heard Jake say we were.
"Well, here we are, Avery" We are at your house," Jake said with a sweet smile. Why can't Elijah be like him, a sweet and friendly guy? I smiled at him.
"Thank you, Jake, for walking me home," I told him with a small smile. I was looking into his eyes.
"Your welcome, Avery," he said, staring into my eyes.
"Well, I guess I see you tomorrow Jake?" I asked him. He told me he would come over tomorrow morning to pick me up for school.
I said, sure, I'll go with him. But he didn't have to. I told him. But he insists I come.
So, I couldn't say no to him. I would feel bad if I did. So, we said our goodbyes, and I walked inside my house. I closed my front door. But I didn't leave the door. I stopped before it and looked at the door until I didn't see him anymore.
Then I started walking upstairs to my room to do my homework and Elijah because he was making me. I don't know why I even do it. Next time he tells me to do his homework, I will say a big fat No!!!
I am in my room, lying on my bed, trying to write my paper for science class about what mammals are. So, I picked Whales. I have to write about them. But I can't concentrate on my homework if I can't do mine how will I do his?
I know if I don't do his. He's going to be mad at me. I don't want to know what he will do if I don't finish his homework. I would hope he wouldn't hurt me.
Right, I asked myself. But again, maybe he wouldn't care if I didn't do his work. Perhaps he will forgive me if it's late for school. I wish he would change from being a bully to a sweet, nice guy towards me. But, as I said, it was thinking on my part.
I sighed and prayed he wouldn't be mad at me and make me do his homework anymore. So, I sighed and started on his task so it would be done for tomorrow, and he won't get upset with me and hurt me.
I started to shrive thinking about his anger; he scares me when he gets angry like that towards me and others. He can be a frightening guy.
Three hours later...
Thank God I am done. His homework is done. I got all his done.
After I finished his work, I needed to spend half of mine. But I was getting hungry. But I am getting sleepy too. So, my hunger wins this round.
I started walking out of my room and descending the stairs to see what was in the kitchen to eat.
I was sitting in the kitchen, eating fruit and drinking a water bottle. I cleaned up my mess and walked up the stairs to the bathroom.
After I did my business in the bathroom, I started walking out and going to my bedroom. When I walked inside my bedroom, I went over to my dress and got my nightclothes out.
After I got undressed, I climbed into bed.
But I couldn't sleep. I started thinking about what happened with Elijah in the locker room and Jake outside smoking like he was waiting for someone. Was he waiting for me? I thought to myself. I don't know what to think. But I do know I had a strange day. But the day I lived it in my head repeatedly with Elijah with our encounter. I start to blush, thinking about his touch and the kiss I started. So, I begin to try to close my eyes. But then I heard my wolf.
"Hey, Avery, what do I miss?" She asked me.
Huh, I thought, where has she been? I wonder.
So, I asked her.
"Huh, I didn't know you left?"
"Where have you been," I told her with demand.
She didn't say anything, but I see she was hesitant to say anything.
"Angelstar, where were you," I demand her again.
"Iwaswithmymates." So mumbled under her breath.
"What, Angelstar," I asked her again.
"Will you say it a little bit slower for me?"
She was quiet until she opened her mouth again.
"I was with my mates" She finally told me I understood her.
I was shocked because I didn't realize she could do that. I thought I changed into her, and we both found our mates. But no, she can leave whenever she wants.
"Oh, well, tell me when you're leaving again next time. I told her with a parent tone.
She giggled and told me with her wolfie attitude.
"Yes, sure, mother." And laughed, and she went back far into my mind. She didn't want to talk anymore and went to sleep.
That is what I need to do sleep, but I can't. I still got Elijah and Jake on my mind.
