CHAPTER5|AVERY STIRLINGFor a moment I'm back to when everything was so peaceful. Wyatt's lips placed on my neck and my one arm wrapped around his neck as I sit between his legs in his room
But none of that is real
I'm standing in front of his door waiting. Waiting for him to open the door and be completely shocked that I'm here. That I'm here to wish him a goodbye. For now
But as the wind blows my hair dances and the bottom of my skirt shifts side to side. I've never been so hesitant to open a door. A door that belonged to someone I truly loved. Until today
Without wasting any more time than I've already done I opened the door and walked in. Since he's been in the NHL he's gotten loads of sponsorships and well money too
Him and the boys are pretty known. But he's also had money before everything which I still don't know how he's got it. Let's face it I barely know his parents. And I guess you could say he knows mine
My stepmother is always her best when he's around but when I go to visit alone it's different. She's back to her vile self again
"Ave?."
I turn to look inside of the kitchen and there he was eating a piece of toast with sweatpants on his shirt hanging off of his shoulder
I smile before walking further in."Hi, I just wanted to see you before I left. Things haven't been great but I couldn't just leave witho–"
He cuts me off before I say anything else by smashing his lips against mine. His hands roam across my body before they grip onto my hair. My tongue enters his mouth fighting for dominance but his took over
My hands go to touch his belt but I remember why I came here. And outside in the car Quinn is waiting for mw. She's going with me since she has nothing to necessarily do
Taking my hands I push him off of me before fixing myself,"After every argument we can't keep pushing it away by having sex Wyatt. I'm here to say bye. I love you but I'm leaving to follow my dreams. I'll be back soon."
Without another word I turn around about to walk out when his voice stops me
"Do you ever think about leaving me? Or taking a break?." he asks
Just as I thought everything would've been calm today he goes and asks this question. Never in a million years did I think I'd have to answer this. But if he's asking this he obviously wants to break up with me
Tears stung my eyes as I thought about all of the happy moments we had being together. How loved I felt. When I smiled just because he said my name or that ridiculous nickname he gave me. Scarlet. Ridiculous
"You're joking,"I say before turning around so that I could see his face. I wanted to see his face when he saw mine."All I wanted to do was say goodbye to my boyfriend who I love so much and you're breaking up with me?."
I couldn't hold the hurt in anymore. You could hear it all in my voice and see it all in my red face. Tears stained my cheeks I'm sure and I know he could see it because of the look on his face
Good. I want him to feel bad
"I'm not breaking up with you. I'm just asking you a question because I know we've been through our arguments and I've said really hurtful stupid things that I shouldn't have and I don't want you to leave and forget about me."
I never hated him because of them. I wanted to throw things at him. I wanted him to hold me and tell me we're okay. But all he ever did was make them worse. Deep down he loved the arguments. He maybe even wanted to have them on purpose just to get rid of me
Instead of saying anything I place a soft kiss on his lips before leaving him in his kitchen. I could barely breathe when we argued. But now I really can't know that we won't be the same anymore. Knowing that he thinks I hate him
Maybe I do. Maybe I don't. I don't know
....
My feet felt light with every step I took on the sidewalks of LA. I've never been here before and for my first time it's been an experience. It's like a dream come true
Many famous people walk these streets. And I want to become one of them. Avery Stirling a famous novelist. Quinn should think about coming here to make her little music career blast off
They would love her
"I would kill to have a billboard with my face on it." Quinn says by my side eating a hotdog she got from this guy with a cart
I told her she better not get poisoned or I'll die just to strangle her and kill her again and she just shrugged her shoulders. Not that I would necessarily see her in the afterlife because let's be real we all know she's not going to heaven
"Quinn, I'm very concerned for you. You just ate food from a rolling table." I tell my friend as she gawks at the billboards
Tugging me by my arm she pulls me to her before I accidentally bumped into someone. I have been feeling very sluggish today. I've never felt this way before but I have a feeling it was because of the conversation I had with Wyatt the morning I left
"If you keep thinking about him it will only fuck you up more Ave. We're in LA there are like thousands of things we could do until your book convention. So what do you say? Wanna go to a museum or something?." Quinn is luminous today for some odd reason
But if I'm being honest she's never traveled much. Only because she refused to use her fathers dirty money but now she uses it like there's no tomorrow. A museum wouldn't especially if that meant I'd be making Quinn smile more often
I was about to say we could go when my body hit someone else's and it wasn't by accident because he looked me dead in the eye as he walked right towards me. Grabbing him by his jacket Quinn stops him before he could continue walking but it turns out he was gonna stop anyway. Hopefully he wasn't about to blame me for that
The sidewalks were already bustling enough and we were making it worse just by standing here but I wasn't going anywhere until I hear an apology come out of his mouth. He towered over me so I had to peak up at him and he was handsome. His eyes were emerald green and he had blonde hair that fell in his face just a tiny bit
I have a boyfriend
"I never asked." He chirped
I hadn't noticed I said that outloud. How stupid of me
"Whatever, I have places to be. Bump into me again and I'll make sure that same arm is missing." I bark out before looking at Quinn ready to walk away but he talks back to me
"Feisty gal aren't you. Until we meet again,"he takes a good look at me before continuing whatever he was about to say."Red."
Great another nickname from a douchebag that has something to do with my hair. Scoffing I flip my hair to be smart and than walk away with Quinn by my side
"He likes you."
"Shut up before I go and tell the hotdog cart dude to actually poison your hotdog for 50 bucks." I mutter
All she could so is laugh at me as we cautiously walked around looking for an art museum it took us about two women and a coffee to find one but it was worth it
