Assassin (One Direction story)

Chapter 23 Part 2

Some swearing is involved. Sorry. ENJOY!  :)

Harry’s POV:

I couldn’t tell her, can I? I seriously can’t, she obviously doesn’t like us! She can barely stand hanging out with us. Why should I tell her if i’m just going to get shot down? That’s all I was thinking as I walked back into Avery’s room. “So Avery the reason I wanted to leave was...” I had to come up with something. I don’t know.

“Come sit. We can talk. You know I just want to know and if it’s good enough I will help you get out of Mr. Greg’s care. So spill.”

I sat down across from her. I need a really good reason, how do I get out... How do I get out? Oh I got it! “Well the reason was i’ve been missing my mom like crazy and she told me she was going to be on Skype. So I was thinking that if you guys were here for dinner then I could go home and talk to her. I just didn’t want to tell everyone else that.”

She kind of looked at me with a ‘awe that’s so cute’ look and a look of confusion. I’m not really sure why there was confusion. “You sure?”

“Yeah why would I lie about that? I really do miss my mom. I’m a total mama’s boy! I can’t help it.”

“Alright if that’s truly the reason then I will get you out of this. Also try to look miserable.” She said standing back up and leaving. Why doesn’t she believe me? It was kind of true, I just have to text my mom and tell her I want to Skype so then it’s more real. She walked her way back into the kitchen/ living room (they’re connected) and started talking to Greg. “You know Greg, we don’t really have anything that would make him feel better. I think it would be better if he just did go home, he has all his stuff there anyways.”

“That’s a good point, but you know i’m not going to let him go by himself. If he is really sick then he shouldn’t be driving himself.”

“Would it make you feel better if I drove him home?”

“Would you make him soup and take care of him until the other boys got home?”

“Why do I have too?”

“Because you know for darn sure that’s what I would do.”

“Fine, if that’s what you would like then yes I will.”

“Then yes you can go home Harry.”

Avery turned to me. “Let’s go, then.” We took the elevator down and when we reached my car she looked at me. “Keys, i’m driving!”

“Why it’s my car!”

“If i’m going to do this, then i’m going to get something out of it. Cough Cough drive my favorite car Cough Cough.” She said walking to the driver side.

“Fine. But I am choosing where we get food. I do not want soup and i’m sure you don’t either.”

“Fine with me. Get in curly!”

Avery drove us around for awhile until we just settled on just going to McDonald’s. Avery also wanted a coffee so she quickly drove to Caribou quickly and then went to mine and Lou’s place. I walked in and she kind of just stopped in the doorway.

“Uh... Do you want to be alone to talk to your mom. I’ll get a taxi home or whatever.” She asked kind of weirdly.

“No. I’ll talk to her in a little bit. We can talk and EAT, since we haven’t eaten all day. Now come in and sit.” I demanded. She just laughed.
