Averey Adams has never had a proper family to grow up with. Her mother died when she was born and her father died when she was in college. You can say that with her not having a family has affected her life. She just finished school and decides to a...
I woke up to my alarm going off. I really don't want to go to work. I might be overreacting but I don't think I can be with someone who constantly disrespects me every other day.
First Austin's the sweetest guy in the world than he's the cold arrogant type the next day. I can't keep up.
I know that this is my first relationship and it's hard for me. I don't know what to do. Should I be worried or should I be happy. I'm just confused.
When be brought up Alison, all I wanted to know was what he did with her. You know I wanted to be the girlfriend that wants to know how his day was. But no he was so closed off on the whole situation.
But why?
All these thoughts kept running through my head last night and I got no sleep.
But I have to go to work. I'm not letting Austin think that I'm some weak girl who whenever she gets upset, it'll bring my whole day down.
I've been alone for the past couple of years I can be on my own if it came down to it. I don't need a guy by my side to make me happy. I have to be strong.
I'm going to go to work with a smile on my face and let things fall as they go.
As I got out of the shower I needed to know what I was to wear.
I decided to wear all black because that's how I'm feeling this morning.

Chunky necklace for style to come in and I am ready to go.
I walked out of my room and there was a note from Lucus:
Peaches I left early to get some coffee and tea for you from the cafe down the street. I didn't want to bother you when you were getting ready. Chamomile tea for you and a blueberry muffin. You'll need it, trust me. I'll bring it to you when I get to the office.
Love, Cranberry Sauce
I didn't want him to be spending money on me. But it was a sweet that he thought of me.
I made sure Ozzy had everything before I left for the day.

When I was going up the elevator I put on my brave face and walked straight to my office. I noticed Lucus wasn't here yet. I snuck a peek into Austin's office and noticed he was on the phone. Better not disrupt Mr. Carter.
Five minutes later Lucus came barging in with my tea in hand and a bag which I presume is my muffin.
"Here Peaches."
"Thanks."
"I can tell you're still upset about last night but..."
"I'm not upset."
"Uh. Yeah. okay." He said sarcastically.
"I don't want to talk about it."
"Understood. Walking away." He said with his hands up in surrender.
I laughed as he was walking out.
Mmmm. The tea really did hit the spot.

It was around lunchtime and Austin still hasn't seen me face to face. Email was our only contact with one another.
A bing from my phone came in saying that I got a text from Arthur.
Hey little sis! I will pick you from work so we can go out. What time do you get out? - Arthur Adams
I get out around 1 or 2 depends when Mr. Carter lets me go. I'll tell him what time can I go and I'll text you back. - Averey Adams
I emailed Austin.
Hey, what time will I be able to leave.
Averey Adams PA to Austin Carter CEO
Come to my office.
Austin Carter CEO of Carter Enterprises & Inc.
Great. I got up and made my way to his office. I opened the door and I went straight to the seat in front of him.
He was sitting like if he was the most comfortable man in the world. He also had a pen in his hand and was transferring it from his mouth back to his hand where he would play with it. His eyes were narrowed at me. I don't know why but that look he gave me was very intimidating. It brought me back to when I came in for my interview.
After looking at me for an intimidating minute. He said, "Why do you want to know what time you can leave?"
"I have plans if you don't remember from yesterday, with Arthur."
Again he stared at me. Like if he was concentraring hard on my face.
"Where are you going?"
"I don't know. He texted me to know what time I get out of work because he's picking me up here so we can go out."
After what seemed like forever again he said, "Tell him to pick you up at 3:00. You'll be done by then." He then turned back to his computer.
"Okay." And with that I stood up, but my heart stopped me in my tracks. I stood there looking at him. He eventually looked at me.
"Is that all your going to say?" Austin looked at me in confusion. "You're not going to give me a sorry about last night. You're just going to let me walk out and just ignore me till you feel you're ready." I was holding back the tears but they were clear in my cracky voice.
"You know what Austin it's like every other day you continue to disrespect me and I'm done being treated like a nobody from you because I come from a different social class than you." Slowly tears were coming down.
"I may not come from a rich family or have the same opportunities as you but I'm still happy. But the last few weeks that I've been with you, I cry myself to sleep every other night. I don't want to be that way anymore. This is my first relationship and I know that I don't know exactly what to do. And in so far I don't think us being in a relationship is healthy for me or you. When we were talking about burdens yesterday, I realized that I'm a burden on you and all I want for you is to be happy and successful. With me in your life that won't happen. I don't think we should be together anymore. This happened too fast and we both weren't ready for this. I'm sorry."
