Chapter 5

Avery sighed of relief as I told him I didn't hate him and smiled. I blushed but hid it behind my long bangs which were usually tucked behind my ear but I thanked God that it strayed! His hand touched my cheek and a spark, not a nice tingle like Amy and Blaine said, but a friggin' electrical SPARK, shocked me and I gasped and scrambled away from him. He was shocked too and removed his hand immediately.

"Wh-What did you just do?!!" I asked him, rubbing my pained cheek. The shock hurts, ok? Mental note: Never touch Avery EVER unless I want to die by being touched... that's just hurtful for the dignity.

He looked at his hand and then at me. "I don't know..." he muttered.

"Did you rub your feet on a carpet or something?"

He chuckled. "And for what reason would I have to do that?" he asked me, shaking his head in amusement.

"I don't know! Maybe you were bored!!?"

He chuckled again. "And you think I rub my feet on the carpet when I'm..bored?" he asked, suppressing his laughter. I blushed a deep shade of red and he burst out laughing when he saw my red face.

"SHUT UP!!!! NOW WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!? IT HURT!" I yelled at him, angrily and embarrassed.

 He stopped laughing and looked at me with concern filling his eyes. "You were hurt? Where? I'm so sorry, Kylie." he said. He tried to touch me again but I held the cushion pillow in front of me, reminding him how lethal his touches were. He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair frantically. "Sorry, this wasn't how I was going to start the conversation.." he said, apologetically.

Avery betrayed me. He made me suffer when I needed him. Was it his fault he couldn't come? I didn't know and he was being super nice to me when all I've done was blame him and let everyone else blame him. I was being crappy and Avery didn't even know what he did wrong. I should be happy that my mate wasn't dead as I thought he would be. At least he was here, by my side, ready for me. Would he still want me if I had already shifted? I searched his eyes for an answer and knew... yes, he would still want me.

"Kylie?" he called me. I looked up and met his blue eyes. "Why does everyone tell me that I hurt you before?" he asked me. I kept quiet and looked down at my fingers. Should I tell him?!  I asked myself. "Kylie, if you don't want to talk to me about it...I won't force you but if I did something wrong, I have to make it right."

Should I tell him? ...Yes. I should.

Avery's POV

Kylie let out a shaky breath and nodded. "Okay," she said. Her angelic voice was music to my ears and it broke my heart thinking I did something wrong to my angel. "I'll tell you but you can't interrupt. If I want to stop, you will stop asking me anything."

I was so happy she agreed and I nodded.

"First of all, I've already shifted," My eyes widened and I almost asked her if she had shifted with another man in her arms and that thought alone made me growl. "And I did it alone, Avery. No one helped me." she told me. I sighed in relief but then when I remembered what she said, I looked at her again in shock.

"YOU'RE A GUY!!!??!" I asked, incredulously.

Kylie shook her head. "NO!! I'm not a guy, Avery!!!! I think I would know if I was one. (A/N: Yeah but didn't she think she was a guy too? Psh. Oh back to the story)Anyways, let me explain. I shifted alone, it was unbearable..." she shuddered and I wanted to pull her close, not wanting her to relive those bad memories. "I waited for you to come that day, but you never did..." she whispered.
