Changing Avery

Chapter Seventeen - The Dismissal of Dianna

'What?'

'Kiss me' he repeated, a mysterious glint in his eye.

'Colton I ... I ...' I stuttered trying to explain the million and one reasons why this was a bad idea.

'Come on' he started 'You can't say you haven't thought about it'

He was right. I had thought about it. Sometimes it was the only thing on my mind. I often found myself wondering just what his lips would taste like, feel like. But that was just curiosity and there was a definite difference between wondering and reality.

'Avery' Colton whispered, a sigh escaping his mouth, before he continued.

'How long are we going to live like this? How long are we going to stay in the dark for? We walk around every day, playing the part that was given to us by who knows what, pretending to be something we aren't; lying to the people we care about most. And it hurts. Its hurts to do that'

'It just ... I think it might complicate things even more' I started.

But before I could continue, the sound of something smashing drew us out of our own little world. Wide eyed and mouth open, we mirrored each other's shocked expression before fleeing towards the door and into the living room.

'You treat me like such crap Asher!' Dianna screeched 'I have had enough!'

'Fine' Asher screamed back.

'Fine?' she question, a wild look in her eye 'Fine?'

'Fine' he repeated.

'You fucking bastard' she yelled.

'What the hell is going on?' Colton asked as Hudson and Parker came running to the room.

'I have just had enough of this asshole' Dianna yelled 'I'm going home. Right now'

'Dianna' Parker whined 'How about you just sleep on it?'

'Yes how about?' Hudson agreed.

'Fine' she spat out in Asher's direction.

'Here' Hudson said, guiding Dianna towards his room 'You take my bed and I'll sleep on the couch'

'Thankyou' she mumbled walking into the room and closing the door.

Once she was out of ear shot, we all turned and faced Asher, expectant looks plastered on each of our faces. Hands in pockets, a tired look on his face, all he could do was shrug at us.

'What just happened?' Hudson questioned crossing his arms.

'She just got mad' he said nonchalantly.

'She couldn't have just gotten mad for no reason' Colton pointed out.

'Well I did tell her about me kissing Avery' he smirked.

'But that was like almost two weeks ago and she was the one who dared you?' Parker said confused.

'Oh no' Asher said 'I kissed Avery yesterday as well'

'What!' Hudson roared.

'Yeah I'd appreciate if you wouldn't do that again' Colton seethed through his teeth.

'You knew?' Asher asked before looking at me.

'We have no secrets' I said, moving closer to Colton and slipping my arm around his waist.

'Don't worry Col' Asher seethed at my display of affection 'It won't happen again'

'Ah' Parker said 'I want to know why it happened in the first place'
