The Motion

#TheMotionFanfic [Chapter 11]

Averie was photographed with Matt for New York Fashion Week, MuchMusic and Toronto Radar called them hottest new couple. Aubrey saw this. He saw everything and it made him feel like the person who was there when he got it all, wasn't there when it was really his. It annoyed Aubrey to his very core to see Averie with someone else. But they both knew what they were getting themselves into when they initiated everything. Averie was around primarily to help him get his career started.

[Flashback]

Averie: I'm not here to say I made you. I'm here to say I knew you when. I just wanna help you be the best you can be.

But them actually loving each other changed how their relationship worked. But they had an awkward love. Like it was professional. Them feeling this way about each other was apart of some job.

[Now]

Averie was asleep with Matt when her phone rang and woke her up. She went downstairs into her kitchen to talk to Aubrey.

Averie: I figure you need me?

Aubrey: I just wanted to hear from you. Long time no speak.

Averie: I didn't wanna interrupt your busy life. I know Drake has a lot on his plate.

Aubrey: What would you do if I said I wanted to see you right now?

Averie (Pouring a glass of wine): I'd say write a song about it.

Aubrey laughed.

Averie (Taking a sip): I'm so serious.

Aubrey: Well, I'm throwing a listening party. I'd really love to see you and I want you there. I want you here.

Averie: I'll come and show support.

Aubrey: Great. Well, I can't wait -

Averie hung up the phone and took the bottle of wine back upstairs. She took a couple of sips as she walked back upstairs and sat it on her dresser before she got back in bed with Matt. He rolled over and kissed her forehead and went back to sleep.

Averie and Matt slept for two more hours then Averie woke up to Matt's smiling face. They were together for a few months but once again someone had this deep emotion for Averie and she was just with someone. Matt just filled her void for Aubrey. He wasn't there but someone was. She wasn't the only girl that Aubrey paid attention to and that's what made her go out and find someone else.

[Flashback]

Averie was dressed up at a Houston night club to see Aubrey. It was the first time she was in Houston but she knew it was one of Aubrey's favorite cities so she knew she had to see him there. She was trying to make an effort to show how much she really felt about him and she thought they could have some fun in his favorite city. Averie was shuffling around the club, looking for Aubrey. She saw him across the room. In a huge group but she knew that glowing face anywhere. She walked closer and closer to Aubrey, then a girl appeared and she was dancing on him. Like more than a random girl that he'd let willing dance on him. Then she saw Aubrey kiss the girl and she stopped dead in her tracks. She couldn't face him. He didn't know she was there and she felt more invisible that ever. She felt more low than ever. This is the exact reason why she didn't show how she felt about someone. Acknowledging her feelings was exactly what landed her in a situation like this. Hurt. Distraught and in a unknown fucking city. In America. She felt stuck in Houston. Trapped in this emotion called love. This feeling towards Aubrey that was eating her alive at this moment.

She went back to her hotel and caught the next flight back home the next morning.

[Now]

Matt: You wanna know who I've discovered that I like?

Averie: Me?

Matt: Besides that.

Averie: What?

Matt: That guy, Drake.

Averie swallowed. She looked over at the bottle of wine and wished that it was bedside.

Averie: Really?

Thinking about the situation in Houston, Averie felt like she could use this opportunity and make Aubrey feel the same exact way she did. And she was buzzed. Averie had a lot of devious ideas when she was tipsy.

Matt: Yeah, his music is amazing. Like people really need to get into his stuff. I like it. He's gonna be great.

Averie: You know what? Drake's my friend. His name is Aubrey. He's throwing a listening party for his EP this weekend. He asked me to come with a friend.

Matt's face lit up. She was really weirded out by a male fan but a win was a win in her book.

Matt: That would be perfect. (Grabbing her) Ugh, I love you.

Averie's eyes got wide. She didn't know what to say to him. She felt like it was way too sudden to even like him a lot. And it was obvious that she wasn't over Aubrey. Averie just did what she knew how to do best. She smiled and kissed him. She grabbed his hair and got on top of him. Matt was a little more built like Aubrey but small things about him reminded her of Aubrey, like his thick and wavy hair, his glowy, soft skin and his voice in some ways. There was a 1 in a quarter chance Averie was thinking of Aubrey when she was with Matt. But she genuinely liked him.

That weekend Averie and Matt got dressed for Aubrey's party. It was the first time he was back in Toronto for a while. Averie just wore some nice jeans and a designer top and some heels and Matt dressed kind of similar to Aubrey's style in a sweater and some jeans. Aubrey was waiting for Averie and was surprised to see her when she got there. She arrived with someone else on her arm. Averie introduced Matt to Aubrey.

Averie: Aubrey, this is my friend, Matt. Matt this is Aubrey. He's like a brother to me.

Aubrey (Holding his hand out to Matt): Hey, Wassup? Thanks for coming.

Matt: Nice to meet you, bro. I think your music is dope.

Aubrey: Thanks for the support. Thank you both for coming. Look, uh, I have to go finish setting up everything and greeting everybody, but thanks for coming. Averie...

Aubrey walked away and Matt looked at Averie.

Matt: That went well.

Averie: Yeah, let's to check out the bar.

Matt and Averie went over to the bar area where Matt had a beer and Averie had a few shots. She wasn't sure if she was prepared to spend the whole night juggling an ex and a current. The music started playing and the party begun. Everyone started dancing and getting drinks. Aubrey decided that since this was his first official thing he throw a party and see what it felt like. But it seemed like he was staring at Averie. He saw everytime that Matt leaned over and spoke in her ear or kissed her cheek or how many drinks she had or how many times Averie smiled at him. Aubrey wondered if Averie could tell that he wanted her. When Matt finally saw Averie alone, he pulled her to a corner where no one was.

Aubrey: What are you doing?

Averie: I was seeing how many drinks I downed before I had sex with Matt on the bar.

Aubrey: What are you doing with that guy?

Averie: At a party? No?

Aubrey: No.

Averie: Then what am I doing?

Aubrey: You think you can't have me so you get some wanna be me and try to make me jealous.

Averie: I don't give a fuck about you, Drake. You do what you want. That's the motion, right? Well, get with the program. You got what you want. Every lightskin lover is to your disposal right now. Why the hell are you risking that for me?

Averie stormed away from Aubrey and went back to the bar.
