"Avery," he says stopping me by clutching my wrist, "I have been looking for you," he tells me and I turn around to look up at him, we stare at each other for a second, which seems too quick to be even a second, "Wait- why are you crying?" he asks rubbing his thumb over my cheeks, my heart warms up again at his sweet affection. How can even a small action he does, makes my heart burst? It's wrong, entirely wrong

Shaking my head, I free myself from his grip and run into his arms. "Rayce" I yell running to him, my shout makes all the heads turn towards us, but is it something new? Haven't I been facing them for so long?

The one who has been there for me, who has never taken advantage of my situation, who loves me. I finally break down in his embrace, this is my fifth break down but this feels different, cause I have a shoulder to cry on. In his arms, I don't feel alone.

"Rea?" he pulls away, I want to throw a tantrum that I don't want to talk, I want to hug him but I give up, he seems worried. Caressing my cheeks, he whispers in my ear, " All the eyes are looking at you, stop crying " he says grinning.

You wanna have my brother?

Even in this state, I find myself smiling. He knows I hate attention, I was never fond of attention. I peek around and find all the creatures stood like a statue in their spots. My cheeks heat up in embarrassment as I swallow. I look at him from the loss of warmth,but he no longer has his arms around my waist.He isn't even looking at me, but at something behind me. I can sense something is not right behind, he is throwing daggers, his jaw clenched.

I peek behind to look at Eric, whose mood is the same as him. His eyes are blazing with red, his fists clenched on his sides shaking with fury, his eyes are cold & deadly.

God

This doesn't seem normal

I haven't ever seen Eric in so much rage, for Rayce it's normal he is mostly protective around me but Eric he has never been mad, he is like kiddo, smiling and living his life.

Focus Avery focus

"What?" I ask Rayce, I heard him asking me something but I wasn't able to hear. "Did he did something?" He repeats. I shake my head, but I guess he doesn't see it & before I could make out what is he about to do.

"Eric!" Rayce growls, his voice booms through the whole passageway. He storms at Eric, and people gasps as he throws a punch into Eric's face.

My whole body is still shaking when he leaves me and walks up to him. My heart bangs wildly against my ribcage. I don't want something bad to happen to Eric and neither to Rayce.

"What did you do to her?" Rayce bites out harshly. God, I need to stop both of them, Mr.Barrett would surely not love to see a pool of blood. I can already sense it's going to be a long day.

"Stop being so effing blind, she is a bitch" Eric rasps. Again, there is something wrong with my ears right? Am I just hearing the guy who took my virginity, confessed he loves me saying I am a bitch? For sure, something is wrong with my ears

He should have killed me, that wouldn't have hurt this much, but this, his words stab me like a knife on my already weak heart.

"Rayce, leave him please" I beg Rayce trying to pull his strong muscular body. But it goes in vain when Eric spits out the blood, before throwing a punch at Rayce.

"Eric for god's sake stop" I yell pleading him, with my eyes. Gladly, he gets it & stops in mid-air, but turns towards me.

"Did you told him about it?" He rasps in a high-pitched voice, standing up and looking at me. Heaps of people have gathered around us, but that's not what disturbs me, but his tone.

"I don't know what you are talking about," I mumbled honestly, there are so many events that have happened since last night & I don't know about which one is he talking about, I try  hard not to break in front of him. I don't want him to see me so vulnerable.

"You didn't tell him -- we had sex?" He declares openly. Gasps & murmurs of people fill the air. My eyes look up at him, and I only see one thing Rage.

Wasn't I supposed to be red at him for using me?

My body heats up in embarrassment, I didn't know he was talking about it, was it something I needed to tell my brother? I look around and the whole ocean of people laugh at my face, the deja-vu hits me hard as a bullet.

The same incident happened two years before when after throwing me out of his house, Everything changed the next day I went to school. All the eyes were fixed on me, accompanied by whispers. When I went to my friends, their reactions were same & it all made sense when gina opened her mouth. Carter announced to the whole world, that I tried to make his dad my sugar daddy. From that day, I was replaced & Carter was our new brightest sophomore while I, well I was labeled as "shunned, whore, bitch, misfortune, etc ".

" you fucking Bastard" Rayce roars and again the catfight began, I won't even stop them now they can fight for all they want, cause now I am too tired of earning shitty words from everyone. I am a human too, it doesn't mean if I can carry it well, it ain't heavy.

" Was I suppose to inform my "Brother" before having sex?" I rubbed the question in his face, even Rayce stops for a while peeking at me, the whole crowd is drop-dead silent. He looks at me with his wounded jaw dropped to the floor. My heart aches to see him bruised so bitterly, his nose is bleeding severely, escorted by blood seeping through his lips. My eyes peek up from his lips to his eyes, and I see those Amber eyes glistening.
