I wake up with Jake's arm still around my waist. I slowly inch my way out from underneath him to go shower.

After I get out of the shower I wrap the towel around me and start to dry off. The I realize I don't have my clothes. I have two options, I can either sit here forever or I can hope Jake is still sleeping and go grab my bag.

I open the door and quietly walk out and notice Jake isn't in the bed at all. I grab my bag just as the door swings open revealing all of the boys walking in, them stopping dead in their tracks. I freeze and just stare at them for a moment then finally will my body to move and run into the bathroom with my bag and slam the door shut.

I sink to the ground once secured inside and just listen to the boys. "Jake! Is that why she had to leave?! Was it her parents?" Luke whisper yelled. I don't hear Jake but then Luke continues "well now I feel like an ass. She seems so unaffected" he said with a mix of pity and admiration, maybe even awe?

After changing into my clothes I go out and see the boys staring at me. "Can you not stare at me? I'm no different than I was an hour ago! Now you just know something new. Good now you can move on!" I say and roll my eyes.

Toby steps forward, and hugs me. Then when he steps away he grabs my hand and pulls me to sit next to him on the bed. "Avery, we just want to know you if your going to be with us. So do you mind if I ask you some questions?" He asks gently.

I sigh, "I guess not" Jake moves to protest but I stop him. "What do you want to know?"

"How long has this been going on?"

"Eleven years"

"Why didn't you tell anyone?"

"Cause I couldn't." I say slightly irritated.

"Why not?!" He asks.

"Cause it was my fault." I say loudly. "No more questions" with that I get up and walk out of the motel room. Once I open the door I notice we are surrounded by a lot of wilderness. Yes!

I walk into a wooded area until I find a good place to stop. When I find it, it's the perfect place. The grass is thick and soft. The trees provide perfect shade. The sun is overhead to warm me in the parts without shade.

Ever since I was little, I have always loved the woods. The privacy, I love how everything is so natural and free. It's amazing. I let myself soak up the place for a little while. I then hear footsteps coming toward me then someone sits by me.

"It's nice out here" a voice says. I open my eyes to see Dylan sitting beside me. "I have always loved the outdoors, the peace it provides" I don't respond and just sit. "It wasn't you fault" he says quietly.

"You don't know." I say. "And I don't want to talk about it"

"Okay, how bout we talk about how your totally in love with my brother" he says with a smirk.

"No I'm not!" I yell.

"Defensive, I can see. Or maybe just maybe you want to convince me it's not true because you want me!" He says with a smirk and a wink.

"Oh yeah that's definitely it! You caught me! Damn!" I say with a laugh.

"I knew it! Well babe if you want me, you can have me!" He says and I just laugh. He stands up and begins to walk away then stops but doesn't turn to face me "no but seriously, if it doesn't work out between you and my brother, you know where to find me" and then he walks away.

I stand up a few minutes later and start walking back. "Hey" Jake says to me.

"Hi"

"We are about to leave, are you ready?"

"Yes" and then he leads me to the car and we get in and start to drive. "Jake?"

"Hmm?"

"Um your brother said something to me about you, maybe liking me, is that true at all?" I say slowly. He doesn't respond for a few moments and then he pulls off to the side of the road and parks.

He turns to face me. "Avery I-" that's all he says before he smashes his lips to mine. I stay frozen until I realize Jake Phoenix is kissing me and I'm just sitting here. I quickly start to respond and run my hands through his hair. He starts to lift me up by my hips to put me in his lap, one leg on each side. He bites my lip for entrance and I quickly allow his tongue to find mine. I run my hands up his chest feeling the hard muscles tense under my fingertips.

When we finally pull apart I lay my forehead against his. "Avery I know I barely know you but I really like you" he says. "But-"
