Will

We messed up Seth pretty badly. He still wouldn't talk and Kai figured that maybe with Avery he would. I agreed with him so, we tied him up at the dojo and went back home.

Here I am, waiting for my beautiful lying girlfriend to come back home. At first, I thought maybe she was with Banks. So I asked Kai to call her.

She told him that Avery had sent her home in a cab and that she looked pretty upset. She said she received a phone call and after that, she wasn't herself anymore.

There are two things running in my mind right now.

She was kidnapped.

Or,

She went by herself and she's in deep shit right about now.

But as I hear the doorknob twist, I know she's back and she thinks I am asleep or some shit.

I wait for her to acknowledge me and when she does, she doesn't pretend. That's what I like about her. And I hate it at the same time.

She has messed up, that's what her face tells me.

"Where have you been?" I ask, standing up. She puts her phone on the desk and leans on the door behind her. She's stressed, she's scared. Why is she scared of me?

"Jesus Will, being a little controlling?" My eyes widen. Sometimes I truly wonder what the fuck is wrong with her. Yet, I still want to tie her to this very bed and make her come until she passes out.

However, I don't have time for her little games. Not right now, not when it's crucial.

"Don't lie to me. I know you weren't with Banks"

These two don't get along. I was surprised Banks was even willing to talk to me about Avery. They made up? Probably not. Not with Avery's temper.

I look her up and down, searching for injuries. She's fine. Except her lips are swollen, it's bleeding. What the actual freaking fuck?

I take her chin in my hands and she jerks away from me. What has she done?

"I went ru-"

"Running? I don't believe that"

She turns around and that's when I notice her watery eyes. Kai thought that maybe she was hiding something from us. I never would have believed him. And I can't believe I am believing him right now. She's lying, again.

"Will-"

"What happened?"

She sits on the bed, and covers her eyes with her hands. What in the fucking hell happened? I hate seeing her like this. I want to hold her, to comfort her and I can't do it. I am completely pissed at her.

"Avery, why are you crying?" She's freaking me out. Her shoulders shake as she breathes in and out. It doesn't take long until she looks at me and I know she has deceived us, again.

"He called me"

"What? Who?"

I sit next to her and take her hands in mine. Whatever she's going through she can talk to me, I can't believe she feels like she can't do that. After everything?

"Damon, he-he called me"

Damon.

Fucking Damon.
