Secrets; c.g

chapter thirteen

♡ ;  best friends?

avery's pov *

You may think I'm a slag and a shitty best friend and trust me I don't blame you but just know that it took all the courage in me to roll out of bed this morning..my own bed.

Waking up to a quiet house would usually be peaceful and soothing and I should be loving it but instead I hated it..

I missed being with the Gallaghers, I loved them like they were my second family. But people make mistakes and that led me to bad feelings and being in this house..alone, just didn't feel right.

The walls were closing in on me and all I felt was regret. I'm fully aware this is all my fault and I thought about running away to Indiana with my parents even though they'll be back soon. But I realised that sometimes in life you have to face your problems not run away from them, so that was what I intended to do.

I decided I needed to get out of the house, I was in desperate need of pain killers since I was experiencing the many bad feelings of hungover, and to be brutally honest, the whole Debbie and Carl situation wasn't helping.

I walked down to the pharmacy down the road and went straight to the hangover relievers. Picking up a fizz tablet for my hangover and next some pain killers for my pounding headache. I almost forgot I was out of 'girl need supplies' aka t's+p's (tampons and pads). I walked down the ile but stopped in my tracks the second I saw a familiar figure picking out pregnancy tests.

"Debbie?" I spoke my voice sounding very weak. "Avery." She glared. "Are you okay?" I asked referring to her search in pregnancy tests. "Fine. Not that it should concern you." She rolled her eyes turning her back to me.

"Look I get why you mad, I would be too but whatever your going through I'll always be here for you." I smiled even though she couldn't see it. "You know what maybe you should be the one picking out tests. I mean you probably had sex with my brother so many times he probably impregnated you." she said coldly with a low mean chuckle. "That was low of you to say, even for you debs."

"I know. I'm sorry." She sighed turning to face me again. "I've got to head back home quickly while no ones home, do you mind keeping this a secret for now?" She asked, I nodded giving her a smile. "Debs come by mine tonight at 6? We can talk and sort this out because I can't take this any longer. Your always welcome to stay after as well, it's just me anyways." I said making her nod in agreement.

As soon as I got home I had a bath then sat on the couch watching 'Clueless' then watched 'Mean Girls'.
I'm a basic white girl, I know.

The afternoon flew by and it was already 5, so I started to get ready for when Debbie came. I wore a sleeveless white crop top with my black jeans that had a few rips in them, then my leather jacket and black vans.

As soon as I finished I heard the doorbell ring. I ran down the stairs and opened the door to face Debbie. "Hey." I smiled, opening the door to let her in. We sat down on the couch and I decided to begin first. "Look Debs, I'm really sorry about all of this. I promised I wouldn't go there with your brother, and I did. And for that I'm a terrible friend. You may never forgive me for this but I just wanted to say that we didn't have sex." I said fiddling with my thumbs.

"Avery I'm the terrible friend, I should of accepted the fact your with my brother but I was just scared that you used me like all my old friends just to get to Carl. He hasn't been himself lately either, if anything he's catching feelings for you and is scared of it since he practically has the 'fuckboy reparation'. I forgive you because I over reacted it was stupid, we're supposed to be best friends that support each other's decisions and I support whatever you and Carl did or do, and I support the fact you kept it from me because you were afraid. I've missed you so much Aves. Best friends?" She asks, I nod with a few tears blinding my vision and we pull each other into a massive hug.

"So do you like Carl?" She asks smirking. "Yes. I think so." I say with a small smile and she smiles, "Cute."
"Now let's have our usual girls night tonight and tomorrow you can move back in." Debbie says making me nod and thank her. "What should we watch first, Easy A or The Breakfast Club?" I ask holding up both movies in each hand. "Hmm, Easy A first." She points to my left hand. I nod and put the cd in. "Want to order pizza?" I ask my stomach growling at me from lack of food. "Yes!" She exclaims. I ordered 1 large pepperoni and 1 large cheese with garlic bread.

It only took about 20 minutes so when I answered the door I was disappointed to see a unattractive guy because I usually always 'flirt with the pizza boy' while debs laughs. "No hottie today?" Debbie asks with a sad smile holding back a laugh. I frown and shake my head, she laughed.

A few hours later we moved on to The Breakfast Club, we were watching the movie but not really that much because we were having our girly gossip session, while snacking on candy and shit aka junk food.

"Okay so what should we do to make Carl jealous, I know it's one of your best flirty talents." She smirked. "I don't know, have any ideas?" I ask. "Host a party!!" Debbie excitedly yelled. "Oh my god!! Fucking genius!! It will be so much fun! And we can also cross it off our bucket list." I wiggled my eyebrows (attempted). Debbie laughed and we jumped up and down in excitement. "Let's start planning." i grinned.
