Right But Wrong

Maybe I will like it here after all

                                                                                                       Avery:

I don't remember much from last night but when i woke up, i was in a room i didn't recognise with my childhood teddy in my arms. Where was i?

Suddenly things dawned on me. My mum was dead. I was in a house with people i barely remembered that called themselves my father and brother and three new people that were supposedly my step-mother and step-sisters.

I felt tears prick my eyes but i blinked them back, not wanting to cry and feeling pathetic that i was about to. Instead of focusing on my feelings i decided i would have a shower instead.

Walking into my en-suite bathroom which i felt extremely lucky to have, i turned on the shower to a hot temperature and stripped down. Stepping inside the shower, i instantly got a shock from the heat and for some reason it relaxed me a little. Looking down at the water and seeing it turn red my heart stopped.

Until i remembered small snippets from that night. Gashes were across my chest and my feet still ached, the holes in them showing why. What happened to me..?

Both my hands and feet looked like they needed some sort of medical attention and if they didn't get it i didn't know what could happen. but fear washed over me at the thought of telling someone about this, what even was i meant to tell them? 

Finally mustering up some courage i went to Miles room, knocking softly. "yes..?" he was wearing only a pair of sweatpants, my eyes roamed over his chest, the hoodie he was wearing yesterday gave him no justice.

His abs were more defined than any man i'd ever seen and he had a tattoo of a raven above his heart, and a whole sleeve of tattoos on his right arm. Realisation of what i was doing dawned to me and my eyes instantly shifted away in embarrassment. "sorry" he mumbled, his voice being sleepy as he pulled on a shirt. 

"I was wondering if you have a first aid kit?" i mumbled under my breath, and he instantly looked more awake. 

"medical kit? why?" he asked, looking at me with concern. 

"I-" how was i supposed to explain this to him? Even if i found the words i don't think they would be able to find a way out of my mouth. I hardly knew what had happened myself and what i did know i was too afraid to say. "Just an accident that's all" i mumbled again but remembering Aeson's words i cleared my throat "it's fine if you don't have one"

Suddenly he opened his door a little further and nodded towards his bed "sit", without saying a word i did as he said, looking around his room as he turned his back to grab something, hopefully a first aid kit. 

His room looked like the typical boy room, the plaid sheets, motorcross pictures, a gaming area and a guitar in the corner. But what stood out to me was the posters, pictures in the smaller frames and a teddy bear.

You can usually tell a lot about someone's personality just from posters, so i found it adorable that most of his was animals. Of course he had the odd band here and there, but over half of them were wolves, dogs, deers and baby cows.

"I won't ask any questions if you don't want me to but why do you need the medical kit?" Miles came to sit next to me, first aid kit in hand, drawing my eyes away from the photo.

Instead of saying anything i decided to show him instead, placing my hand in eyesight. "Ave-" he stopped himself before he could continue and instead took some things out. "this might sting a little" he informed me, his voice gentle. Suddenly pain went through my entire body, making me want to pull my hand away from the burning but he kept his grip on my wrist.
