Touch what's mine

"We're here!" Gabriel/Lucas said as he stopped the car. He got out and so did Avery.

They were both standing in front of a big house. It wasn't that huge but it was big.

"Here we are, little sister." Lucas/Gabriel said with a smile, pointing to the house in front of them.

"Its nice. So...when are we going inside?" Avery asked, eager to go inside. It was all part of the plan, after all.

"Let's go" Lucas/Gabriel said and walked inside with Avery following him. They entered the house and as soon as they did, a few men came out of nowhere and closed the door.

Avery turned around and saw two men dressed in black with guns in their hands.

'Time to play along...' Avery said to herself before starting her acting, "What the hell is happening?!"

Avery had to act surprised so that nobody would doubt her.

"I am happening." A man spoke which made Avery turn around again to face the man. It was none other than Ryan.

'Here we go again.' Avery said to herself before widening her eyes as if she's in shock towards Ryan. "R-Ryan."

"That's right babe." Ryan replied with a smirk, "The one and only."

"And I'm here too, sweetheart." Jackson said, coming from another room. He stood beside Ryan and added, "If I knew that running away from us was the way you'd repay us, I would have never taken you in- in the first place!"

"Lower your voice dad!" Ryan shouted at his father, "That's my future wife you're speaking to."

"Future wife? No way in hell!" Avery said, losing her patience, "I'm never marrying you. I'd rather marry a rat than you."

"Oh darling…you don't have a choice here. There's no way that you're leaving, now that you're here." Ryan said, smirking.

"Go get her things, Gabriel. She'll be staying with us from now on." Jackson said to Gabriel who nodded and left.

Ryan walked towards Avery and was about to touch her cheek but Avery smacked his hand away before he could.

"Don't you fucking Dare to touch me!" Avery warned seriously.

"Feisty- I like it." Ryan said, still smirking. "You weren't like that years ago, sweetheart."

"I've changed, mother fucker." Avery responded, giving him a death glare.

"Well I'd like to see those changes…but now now. We have to catch up on some things, don't you think, love?" Ryan asked.

"After all these years, you're still after me- what the hell is wrong with you? Can't you see that I'm not fucking interested in you?! Move on!" Avery snapped.

Ryan started laughing like a maniac, "I'm crazy for you. You're beautiful…perfect…strong…and on top of all, you're a survivor."

"And I'm gonna kick your ass if you don't let me leave." Avery said, putting much more distance between the two. She didn't like being close to Ryan.

"Stop trying to deny the love…you feel for me. I know you feel it too! Embrace it while you can, love." Ryan said, his eyes softening.

Avery sighed, "I'm sorry."

"For what?" Ryan asked, confused.

"For not staying with you. I realized that I'd have been much more happier with you and I regret it deeply. I tried to ignore that feeling- I mean you've got to understand! I lost my whole family...I was broken and I wanted to be alone. So I ignore what I really felt towards you. I'm sorry, I don't deserve you…" Avery replied, faking her sadness.

"Y-you don't hate me?" Ryan asked, unable to believe his own ears, "You…you love me?"

'Let's not go there, lover boy. I never said that part.' Avery said to herself before replying to Ryan, "I don't know but I don't wanna go away from you anymore."

"Perfect, love. That's what I want to here…now come! I'll show you your room while Gabriel brings your stuffs." Ryan said and extended his hand for Avery to take.

Avery held his hand as they walk away. 'I need to disinfect my hands afterwards.' Avery thought.

Ryan opened the door of one of the rooms and entered with Avery following him, their hands in each other's.

"This is your room." Ryan said with the brightest smile ever.

"Thank you. It's really beautiful." Avery said, giving the best fake smile she could.

"I'm glad you like it." Ryan responded with a smile, "Now I'll leave you to freshen up. I gotta talk with my dad. See you later, love."

Avery nodded and he left. As soon as he left, she went straight to the bathroom and washed her hands before wiping it dry.

Then she took out her phone and sent a quick text to Jace which said, 'Everything is going according to the plan. He thinks I love him ×_× and I think I'm in hell 🙄'

Jace's reply came almost instantly, 'Hang on for 48 more hours, love. Your guardian Angel will come and take you to heaven ;)'

Avery rolled her eyes before replying, 'Any idea on who might that be?'

Jace replied, 'Me -_- Anyway, I'll come in 2 days like I said and I'll bring Nigel with me. BTW,  don't let him touch you.'

'Why not?'

Jace replied 'I don't want people to touch what's mine.'
