The Arbitrary life of Avery Blake [Student/teacher love story] Ch31

Cole Ford’s POV

I was tempted to throw Avery’s phone onto the ground but I restrained myself. No, I would not let Corbin drive me over the edge; for Avery’s sake and for mine.

‘Dude; I wanna kill that guy as badly as you do. But he is right; we have to hold off on the threats and stuff. We do not want Avery to be in any more pain then intended. What are you planning on doing now?’ Erik asked, trying to remain clam whilst his eyes portrayed anger.

I let out a sigh as I shook my head in anger. I placed my seat belt on and put my hands on the wheel; waiting for Erik to take a hint and put his seat belt on. He stayed silent as I looked over to him before he complied.

I started the engine and began to drive. ‘W-where are we going Cole? Not another suicide mission?’ Erik asked, sounding genuinely scared. I guess I was scaring even myself. What was wrong with me? If I looked at myself through a mirror I am sure I would have seen a cold, dark look with a grimace.

I let out another sigh as I tried to fix my expression ‘Look, sorry Erik. I-I do not know what is wrong with me…’ I said, trying to sound calm but my voice portrayed frustration.

‘Cole, it’s OK; I understand… love does that to you.’ Erik tried to comfort me as I was a taken back at his words. My expression must have said it all as I heard Erik groan ‘Yes Cole… Love! L.O.V.E!’

‘No… it is wrong, I cannot love a child. Even those words make me shiver.’ I tried to convince myself, over and over.

‘How stubborn can one person get? You obviously wouldn’t be doing any of this if you didn’t love her. And you also wouldn’t have kissed her like that if you hadn’t loved her. I know this is hard but we will get through it; Avery will get through it. I am not going to give up until she is in your arms!’ Erik answered demandingly.

I let my jaw drop at his words. Well… this is what best friends are for, right? Right?

I stayed silent as I was left speechless.

‘So… where are we going?’ Erik asked impatiently.

‘The police of course.’ I answered surly.

Kiren Jones POV

There was something wrong… I could feel it; I was almost sure of it.

There were 4 people missing from school; how could that be?
Avery, Corbin, Mr Ford & Mr Parker.

I also remembered how Principle Maletos also went missing for a few days but came back and acted as though everything was normal when in fact, I knew it wasn’t.

There was no way in hell that my 2 best friends would go away and not tell me. And what with the constant Police officers hanging around the school, wondering around and acting awfully suspicious for my liking.

So anyways, here I was, in Music, with Mr Telco in front of the class as I heard a sudden knock at the door as every face turned to meet 2 unfamiliar faces; 2 faces I would prefer not to have seen.

‘Um Frank-‘one of the police officers spoke to Mr Telco ‘-sorry to interrupt but could we please speak with one of your students; Kiren Jones?’ she asked as all eyes turned to me with suspicious glares. But of course I wasn’t one to ask questions; I complied.

They must have noticed me expression as she spoke ‘Don’t worry kid, you are not in any kind of trouble, we just have a few questions to ask you about 2 of your class mates; or well best friends I assume.’

I heard sudden whispers spread across the room as I heard Corbin and Avery’s name’s mentioned numerous times.

I slung my bag across my shoulder as I nodded towards Mr Telco and then again towards the female officer before I walked towards the door.
