Her Past

Chapter 7

Avery stood there looking through the crowd of people.

"Do you see her?" Maura asked.

Avery looked and saw Jesse sitting there with someone he assumed was Noah. His heart pounded out of his chest.

"Yeah." He whispered.

"Go talk to her." Maura smiled.

Avery walked over and cleared his throat.

"Jesse." He said softly.

Jesse turned around and stood up. "Avery!" She smiled and threw her arms around him.

Avery held onto her. She smelled like vanilla. Slowly she pulled away.

"Its so good to see you." Jesse said.

"You too." Avery smiled.

She grabbed his hand and took him over to Noah.

"Avery this is my best friend Noah." Jesse said.

"Hey." Avery extended his hand to Noah.

"What don't I get a hug?" Noah laughed.

Avery laughed. They hugged each other. Sitting down Avery cleared his throat.

"I got a few things to tell you." Avery started off.

"I got something to tell you too." Jesse smiled.

"Where do I begin?" Avery said.

"The beginning." Noah laughed.

"Right." Avery said. "Its hard I haven't really come out to anyone."

"Oh my God your gay?" Noah leaned forward.

Avery laughed. "No! I was born a woman. I transition about a year ago." Avery stared waiting for Jesse to say something.

"Is that all?" Jesse smiled.

"No there's more but that's one of the big ones I wanted to get out of the way." Avery smiled. "What did you have to tell me?"

"I'm pansexual." Jesse smiled.

Avery stared at her. He smiled. "That's really good to know."

"Do you have a place your staying?" Jesse asked.

"A hotel." Avery said.

"Maybe I can see if you can stay with me." Noah chimed in.

"I couldn't ask you to do that." Avery said.

"Your Jesse's boyfriend its not like her parents are going to let you stay with them." Noah said. "Plus my mom is cool."

"Avery would you be okay with that? It means I can spend time with you more if your there." Jesse said.

"Yeah." Avery said.

Noah stood up. "I'm going to go call my mom and make sure its okay."

"Sounds good." Jesse smiled.

Avery stood up. "I should probably get my stuff."

"Let me go with you." Jesse said.

Jesse followed Avery out to Maura's car where an Italian was standing by Maura.

"Hey Avery. Jane this is Avery the young man I was telling you about." Maura smiled.

"Hey." Jane smiled.

"Didn't mean to interrupt. Came to get my stuff." Avery smiled.

"Oh your fine." Maura smiled as she leaned in and popped the trunk. "It was nice meeting you Avery."

"Thanks again Maura." Avery reached in and grabbed his bags.

"We can take them to my car so your not carrying them with you." Jesse smiled.

"Sure." Avery said.

Avery followed Jesse to her car. Opening the trunk Avery put his stuff in. Turning around he looked at Jesse. She was gorgeous.

"What do I got something on my face?" Jesse asked.

"No. You're gorgeous." Avery smiled.

Jesse stepped close to him. "I'm really glad you were able to come. I'm sorry Noah is here maybe we can get together just you and me later." Jesse smiled.

"I would like that." Avery said. He grabbed Jesse's hand as they started walking back.

Noah was sitting at the table when they waked in. This time Jesse sat down with Avery across from Noah.

"So my mom is cool with it. She said it be nice having someone else besides me there." Noah smiled.

"Thanks Noah." Avery said.

"You're welcome." Noah said. "Do you guys wanna go back to my place, and when Jackson gets off I can leave you two alone?"

"Sure." Jesse smiled. "I would like some alone time with Avery."

Avery smiled.

"Let's go." Noah laughed.

Noah went and paid their bill as they walked to the car. Avery sat in the front while Jesse drove. Noah sat in the back. They talked the whole way to Noah's getting to know each other more.
