The Motion

#TheMotionFanfic [Chapter 5]

Averie was on her laptop on her bed, sipping a glass of wine. She hadn't seen or spoken to Aubrey in two weeks. She was going through a feed and saw the picture of a familiar face. She squinted and realized it was -

Averie: AUBREY!

She sat her wine down on her nightstand and got out of her bed. She changed into some leggings and a Victoria's Secret sweatshirt. She stormed over to Aubrey's condo and banged on his door for a minute straight until Aubrey came downstairs and opened the door sleepily. Averie stormed in.

Aubrey: It's 4 in the morning.

Averie (Storming through the foyer): I don't give a damn!

Aubrey (To himself): I guess I'll never know what sleep this late will feel like.

Averie and Aubrey finally made it to the kitchen and Aubrey looked at Averie.

Averie: Found out about your little girlfriend.

Aubrey: Who?

Averie: Whoever you were slobbing down in some club!

Aubrey rolled his eyes. Not in an irritated way or a way that showed that he was caught, he did it in a cocky way. Like he never really completely changed. It was like Averie had one version of Aubrey and the rest of the world had and saw another version. The single version.

Averie: Ok, so what was this? What was us?

Aubrey: What do you mean?

Averie (Not making eye contact): This whole me consoling you when you get robbed. Me being there for you. Be being loyal to you? That's just when where in the same zip code right?

Aubrey: This just comes with the territory. This comes with the life.

Averie's mouth dropped.

Averie: Are you fucking kidding me?! This is a joke. That Ashton Kutcher guy has to be in here somewhere waiting for me to start crying right?

Aubrey laughed.

Aubrey: Averie you know I like you. You know that.

Averie: Wait. Don't patronize me. Don't fucking talk to me like some high school jump off. I'm not like these other disposable on the road hoes.

Aubrey kissed her. Averie pushed him off of her.

Aubrey: Look. That was something on the road.

Aubrey rubbed Averie's arm. She snatched away from him.

Averie: No! I'm taking a chance on you.

Averie began to walk out and Aubrey caught up to her, grabbing her arm.

Aubrey: Averie, wait.

She turned around.

Averie: Before you feed me some bullshit you hit fans with on the set...oh wait. The set you USED to work on, learn to know when something's good for you. And when this world is sucking you in.

In her clutched fist was the necklace Aubrey bought Averie. She shoved it in his chest and left.

[Flashback]

There was a gun in Aubrey's face. He couldn't tell if it was locked and loaded or fake or no. There was two guys in all black. Him nor his date really showed any emotion. One guy asked for Aubrey's chain. Not his date's Prada bag. Not the thousand dollar sweater he was wearing. Not the car they were in. His chain. A $4,000 chain given to him as a signing bonus. He gave him the chain and the guys ran off. Spooked by the robbery, Aubrey never said anything to his date. He also didn't say much because he felt like she was behind the whole thing. Aubrey was man enough to admit his fear in the whole situation. But she wanted this restaurant. She picked out what he wore. She orchestrated this whole night. And Aubrey had no real idea until now.
