××Avery's p.o.v.××

It's been a week since Jace had gone back home to see his family. Even though we wasn't official, I still missed him like crazy. We had been getting really close lately and it was a good feeling. I also really needed him here. My dad was gone for work. Here lately he had to work over time or night shifts or gone out of town. He always looked so tired, it hurt me seeing him this way. He had to put in the extra work to keep up with bills. It was hard being a single parent raising a teenage girl. I knew I needed to get a job. I applied many times to different places but never got a call back. Things were getting harder and the last thing I needed was to be alone in this house.

Allison was still away and wouldn't be back for a year or so. I honestly don't even think we are friends anymore. I mean she never calls and things may change when we see eachother again. If we see eacother again.

It scared the hell out of me knowing that Greyson was staying out of jail. Atleast until court was held and that was scheduled in a month. Jace had asked if I wanted to go with him but I refused. I didn't want to be a bother especially since he is going to see him mom. That's their time to spend together. But in all honesty I was now regretting not going along with him. It was only three days, nothing can go wrong in three days. Right?

I went down to the store to get a few groceries for the house. Meaning we were out of icecream and I needed icecream more than anything right now. Stress wasn't a good thing for me.

I walked down the frozen isle looking for Moose tracks icecream. Why was I having such bad cravings? I shook off the weird feeling in the pit of my stomach and continued walking down the isle. Just in my luck I ran right into Greyson. My heart pounded faster and faster when I saw his face. Tears began streaming down my face and I began running away. Well atleast a few isles down. Why of all people does he have to walk in here? Why did he look so sad? Why did I even care about him, a monster? After a few minutes I walked back down to the frozen isle and found my icecream. Luckily he had left or I was just lucky enough to not see him again.

I woke up from nightmares drenched in sweat and my lungs were soar from screaming. I calmed down and went to shower. I just stood there in the warm water thinking about everything. Its funny how the shower is where most people think. Maybe it's just because it's the only real alone time people get, that is if you take showers alone. I stepped out and wrapped a towel around me. I heard knocking at the door so I quickly put my hair in a wet bun and slid into a t-shirt and sweats. Who could be here?

I looked out the window to see Greyson Briggs standing on my front porch. Rage began spreading through my body and I carelessly opened the door.

"What the actual hell do you want? I will call the police you dickwad!!"

"Stop yelling please. Avery i'm sorry for everything. Please take me back. Drop the charges. I swear i've gotten help and i'm a better person now."

I wanted to believe that but I know that nothing could change him.

"No, Greyson. You haven't changed. Just leave me alone or I swear i'll call the cops. Don't come near me until court."

I slammed the door in his face and he began beating on the door. Finally, he stopped. But I had a gut feeling that wasn't the last of him. I locked all doors and windows and ran to my room to grab my phone. The phone rang and finally Jace answered.

"Jace?"

"Yes princess?"

"Jace. Last night I went to the store and-and Greyson he was there. He came to the house and tried to get me back but I said no and he began banging on the door. He left but I don't feel safe. I don't know what to do right now or where to go." I sobbed loudly. I knew I needed Jace here but he was with his mom. I didn't want him to come all the way back for me.

"Avery, babe, please calm down. I'm going to leave today as soon as I can. I'll tell my mom the situation and she'll understand. I promise. Don't try to stop me because i'm coming back. He's not going to hurt you, not again."
"T-Thank you Jace. I-I love you."

"I love you too Avery. Just stay inside with all doors locked."

"Okay."

I felt nauseous and ran to the bathroom trying to hold everything in. Why was I so sick all of a sudden? Why was I craving so much food here lately? Then it hit me. Shit I might be pregnant and with a monsters baby. The man who raped me. I knew I needed to stay inside but I also needed a pregnancy test immediately.

I quickly walked in and bought three pregnancy tests just to be sure. The woman looked at me funny.

"Their for a friend." I stated nervously.

I ran quickly to my dad's truck which he left for me while he was away.

I paced back and fourth waiting impatiently for the three tests to show up. It felt like the longest minute of my life. My phone vibrated and I knew that meant the minute was up. They were all positive.

I haven't had a period in a couple of months but I have never had a normal period. Of course it was Greyson's child. I had never been with another guy and Greyson forced it so it's not like I willingly signed up for this. As much as I hated who the father was, I also knew that the life growing inside of me was innocent and all things pure. I was going to love my child and it's father would never get to know who he or she is. I'm only sixteen so this is going to be hard. Atleast I was home schooled, that made things a lot easier. The hard thing was telling my dad and Jace and waiting for their reaction. For now I needed to stop stressing. That is bad on a baby even in early stages.

I decided to eat something and lay down and nap being I didn't get good sleep. Slowly the darkness took over and I drifted into a deep peaceful sleep.
