Different (Brett Talbot Love Story)

Chapter 16

AVERY POV

The cops at Liam's house made me want to turn around, but Liam would need me. I debated with myself. After about five minutes of standing there probably looking like a freak, the door opened to Liam's house and my best friend and the lacrosse coach walked outside. My debating was done, I ran up to Liam and hugged him.

"What the hell happened?" I asked him, he looked down and then looked at me.

"I left for school early to try to talk to coach about getting on the team again," the coach rudely interrupted him by scoffing, I sent a glare his way. "He wasn't there of course, but as I was walking out the lacrosse team was getting ready to shower and I got so jealous. I stormed out of the locker room and walked to the parking lot. I was going to go home Avery, I swear! I saw him get out of his car, and it made me think of when we were talking and how you joked about wrecking his car, I was mad and lost control and I did it. I threw rocks at it and keyed it and it was trashed." He confessed, in front of me, the couch, the police, and his parents.

His parents looked mortified. His mother cried and the police got out their handcuffs.

"Wait!" We heard as they were about to arrest Liam, we all looked towards the way the noise came from and saw the coach. "I don't want his life to be ruined, so I'm willing to make a deal." He declared. His parents nodded waiting for the coach to go on. "I will drop all charges if you will pay to fix my car, and these two have to leave Devenford Prep. I don't want to see them again."

"Two? Me?! Why?" I asked him, confused on why he wanted me to leave.

"You gave Liam the idea for my car! I don't want to see you again either." He said to me. Tears went down my face, where would I go.

"Thank you Coach, I'll make the check for your car right now and will get them out of Devenford Prep by Friday, atleast give them time to say good-bye to their friends." Mr. Dunbar asked. The coach nodded and followed Liams' dad to the kitchen where he was going to write the check.

I was so mad and hurt and sad. All kinds of emotions were hitting me.

"Avery, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to get you kicked out too!" Liam cried to me. I glared at him.

"Everything was perfect, I had great grades and was supporting you through Lacrosse. even with your anger management issues! I'm kicked out of a private school! How is that going to look for college Liam! You just ruined everything!" I yelled at him and stormed out the house. I ran about a quarter of a mile to my house, and instantly went upstairs. I cried, after an hour I decided that I need to look for new schools, and even though I was pissed off at Liam, I would look for one that had a lacrosse team. After about twenty minutes, I came up on a school that was half an hour away. It was called Beacon Hills High, and it had good academics and a great lacrosse team. There are state champions. I called Liam.

"Hey I'm still mad at you, so I am going to make this quick. I was looking for a new school for us to go to, and I found Beacon Hills High, its thirty minutes away and it looks pretty good." I told him and hung up. I didn't want to talk to him, my phone started ringing again. I looked at my phone and saw it wasn't Liam. Brett. I probably confused him, I wanted to give us a chance and give him the time he wanted, but now I was leaving because of my idiot best friend. I ignored it. There is no point in hurting him even more. I was done for the day, I decided to lay down and take a nap

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I woke up to my alarm clock going off. Wow I really sleep throughout the whole night, crying really does take a lot out of you. It was 6 am in the morning, it was time for me to get ready for school. Not really caring about how I looked, I through on pants, a white t-shirt, and a blue jacket to cover it all. I wore no make up and put my hair up, I didn't want to do it today. After doing all of that it was only 6:30 am, I decided I would start walking to school and the time I had left I would do my homework, that I failed to do, again.

Walking didn't take me long, as usual. I got to school and opened my locker to grab my math book and get to work. I put my headphones in and zoned out the world. Someone tapped on my shoulder and I looked up to see a handsome man, Brett.

"Hey," I said, as I took out my headphones.

"Hello beautiful, I went to your house to pick you up so we could talk, but you were already gone." He frowned at me.

"Sorry, I just walked to school early," I looked down at my phone. "Its only 7 am, we have fifteen minutes. We can talk right now if you want to." I told him, he nodded and sat down next to me.

"So you kissed me." He stated

"Yup"

"What does that mean?" He asked. I smiled at him.

"I wanted to try and give you the time that you needed. We could go back to dates and how we were before, but things have changed now." I said, looking him dead in the eye so he knew I was serious.

"Changed? Why? Because of Liam getting kicked out. I knew you would be sad about that. I'm sorry Avery, I tried to talk to coach but he was set in his ways. You'll be fine here without him, I'll watch over you." He said and put his arm around me. I gave him a confused look.

"Who told you about all of that?" I asked, that was private information about what happened to Liam, and plus who ever told him didn't tell him the part about me.

"Coach did, but it's okay. I won't tell anyone."

"Brett maybe you should talk to your coach again and get the whole story, and tell him I said he was a liar." I told him, he looked at me like I was crazy.

"What do you mean? What is the rest of the story Avery?" He asked. I sighed, maybe I should tell him.

"I was kidding with Liam one day and I said that I would destroy your coaches care. I meant it as a joke. Well when Liam actually did it, your coach said I helped by giving him the idea. And now I am kicked out with Liam, we both are leaving the school. Which is why things have changed. Your not going to want to do long distance and we are going to be thirty minutes away." I told him. He looked at me with genuine concern, he looked disappointed.

"No Avery, that can't be true. You and I...... I ...... You can't leave me." He said. I smiled at him.

"I don't have the choice, Liam will go to jail if we both don't go." I said.

"Let Liam take the fall, you didn't do anything wrong. You shouldn't have to suffer." He said, I know he didn't mean it, he was hurt.

"I won't ruin his life, we are freshman. He has a whole life ahead of him." I told him and walked to my first class. I looked back at Brett and held up my cell phone, telling him to text me. He nodded and walk to his class too.

BRETT POV

What just happened? I had this whole speech to get her back and she was leaving because of something that wasn't her fault. That is bullshit. I walked to coaches office, hopefully I could talk him out of it.

"Coach can we talk?" I asked him. He looked up at me and nodded for me to sit down.

"What do you need Talbot?" He asked

"Why did you get Avery kicked out?" I asked

"Because she helped Dunbar ruin my car." He said

"She may have joked about it, but she didn't ruin it herself. You had no right to kick her out." I said.

"Listen you have a bright future ahead of you. Great grades and fantastic at lacrosse. You don't need her bringing you down or in her drama. So I got rid of a potential issue for you." He said. I couldn't believe my ears. He kicked her out for me.

"You have no right!" I yelled at him.

"Get out." He told me. I was losing my temper and I needed to leave. Avery was going to hate me if she knew he didn't want her there because of me. I just wouldn't tell her. I'm going to figure out some way to be with her, Beacon Hill High had at least 4 werewolfs there. 3 were alphas. At least I heard Scott McCall was an alpha. Plus there is an assassin on the team. I was going to watch over her.
