think about you

chapter six.

"Avery," he slurred. "I know you hate me. I don't want to lose you, Ave. I know I really hurt you. You're my best friend and that is the last thing I want to do. I hope you can forgive me, love you Ave."

Avery pulled the phone away from her ear, sighing as she locked it before throwing it in her purse. This was the fourth voicemail he'd left in the past week. After that incident at his house, she needed space from Gerald and his crew. And she did everything she could to distract herself. She went to New York for a shoot and a show, and once she got back she had more photo shoots.

"Bye Blaire, bye Zak!" she hugged her makeup artist and hair stylist. "Thanks for making me look good, now I don't have to get ready for tonight" she winked at them.

She waved to them before heading off the site and to her car. Once she got in, she grabbed her phone and read the group text message between her, Jessica, and Megan. The girls wanted to go to the club tonight but she wasn't sure if she wanted to go. Their girlfriends were planning on going too, but Avery just wanted to spend the day inside with her girls.

Heading the club right now. Not going to drink though, I have to be up early for a photoshoot. She hit send before starting her car. Before the shoot ended, some of the stylists let her take some clothes home, and one of them being the dress she was currently wearing.

Avery arrived at the club and parked her car around the corner. She walked in by herself as she stepped food, Avery was immediately greeted by some familiar faces. She said hi to them and shared a couple of words. She even took a couple pictures with some fans before she headed towards the bar where she easily spotted Jessica and some of the girls. She hugged them and took a few pictures with some of them.

"Avery!" she heard someone yell her name.

She looked up and found a six foot something walking towards her

"Marty," she jumped into his arms, giggling as he picked upper up with one arm, trying not to spill the drink in his other hand.

"How was New York?" he asked putting her down and pecking her forehead. "I saw your photos Miss Thang." He winked, teasing her.

"It was amazing. One of my favorite places to travel to whenever I have a shoot." She replied, reminiscing about her trip.

"Well we're all in the booth. Well Meg is. You found Jess and your girls, but most of us are in there. The guys will be happy to see you."

Avery followed Marty to the VIP section. She asked about their show in Florida. Gerald had a show in Florida and of course the guys flew out with him. Marty was shocked that she even knew about the show, none of the guys posted about it. Well G did but never mentioned where in the US he was.

"It was good," he smiled. "Hella hot but it's always fun traveling."

They entered the VIP section and saw that all of G's boys were there including some random girls. Avery said hi and hugged everyone she knew, but when she saw Gerald she stood her ground and refused to acknowledge him.

"Let's drink!" Grady yelled.

Avery frowned as Marty handed her a shot of whiskey. She was driving back and couldn't risk getting a DUI. But once she looked up, she saw Gerald talking to another girl who was very handsy, she felt a little jealous. She was unsure why because she knew she didn't want anything to do with him.

She accepted the shot of whiskey and tossed it down the back of her throat, taking it straight. Avery noticed Gerald and the girl were walking out of the booth and outside. She grabbed Megan's hand and they headed down to the bar, she needed another drink.
