Chapter 30: I'm the best thing that never happened to you

Chapter 30: I'm the best thing that never happened to you

Avril's **POV**

"Just relax and imagine your some place happy. I promise nothing bad will ever happen." Michael whispered to me, his lips dangerously close to my neck. I stood and made my way over to my guitar....."

I picked up my guitar and carried it over to the chairing at the front of the class. I took a seat and drew in an extremely deep breath and began strumming.

From the first chord I played an avalanche of memories flooded my mind. Good, bad and every single thing in between.

"Ow, ooh, I let you get away with thinking you're the cure.

I think I'm in too deep, it's time to pull the cord.

You like me more when you think, I'm getting bored.

I hope you're home the day I tear down the walls.

I won't settle, settle, settle, you are never gonna hold me down.

So toxic, you ain't nothin' but a prick.

I'm the best thing that never happened to you.

Never, never, never, you are never gonna live this down.

Life's too short, I can't fake it anymore.

I'm the best thing that never happened to you."

The whole time I looked away, at some random point in the room. Not wanting to look at anyone. Not the teacher, not the other students, not Ashton, Calum Luke and most of all Michael.

"Ooh, Don't you get sick of only hearing your own voice?

Talk like you're so damn tough but you're just a little boy.

You like to think you've broke the mold but now I'm sure,

You'll crack just like the rest when I break your fucking jaw."

I sung a sly smile breaking out across my lips of great, great memory.

"Ooh, hahahaha, ow

I won't settle, I won't settle, I won't settle.

Ooh, whoa"

I finished. I hadn't sung like that in front of anyone in months if not even close to a year. To be entirely honest too, I had completely forgotten how good it felt.

"That was marvelous Avril, you should perform that song at the end of tern performance!" Miss Bianca said glee filling her voice. All I could muster up though was a meek little smile. I picked up my trusty guitar and headed back over to the boys, my head hung low. I didn't dare to look up. I couldn't work out why though, I mean really, I should be so proud of myself right now. And don't get me wrong a small part of me was, but it was a very, very small part of me. I sat, my face hidden behind my hair. I could just see ash and cal just out of the corner of my eye through a gap in my hair. They were both staring at me completely stunned. But none of them said a single thing to me. The rest of the lesson went by with everyone doing their little performance. The boys absolutely killed it obviously. They ended up singing 'Too Late,' which was my personal favorite by them. But even after that, none of us said a word. After everyone had finished we had to wait for our names to be called to collect out score cards to be dismissed. The second my name was called I grabbed it and ran, not looking back at the guys. I ran straight to my locker dumping my books and grabbed my phone. I ran all the way to the back corner of the field. I hit the call button, the phone was answered immediately.

"I did it. I sung. In front of a whole group of people. I was there with my guitar and I just sung it felt so good but it just, I just, I don't know something isn't right." I babbled through the line.

"Breath, slowly." Addis soothing voice spoke.

"Now 1. I am so proud of you this is huge. 2. You have nothing to not feel right about. It wasn't your fault you stopped singing and you kicked that reason right in the face. So what dog did you sing?"

"The best thing (that never happened)."

"Hahaha you couldn't have chosen a better song, like I said I am so proud but I have to go. And Avril, you should call your brother, he misses you. Bye beautiful."

"Bye." I mumbled. I just sat there for another five minutes with my he's in my hands.

"Hey" I felt someone gently kick my foot. I looked up to be met with lukes soft smile.

"Hi" I said my voice barley above a whisper.

"You alright?" He asked sitting next to me.

"Yeah I just had to make a call quickly." I said pulling my hair back.

"Luke, can I ask a favor?"

"Of course, what is it?" I pulled out a hair tie.

"Hmm Ash or Cal would probably be better for this but I'll give it a crack." So after Luke had finally tied up my hair up, he pulled me to my feet and began leading me back to the tree where our group sat. Luke went back to Keira and I took my usual place next to Michael.i looked over a Ash and Tahlia. They were really close and whispering to each other. I saw Tahlia nod before literally attacking Ashton with what you could say was somewhat a hug.

"About time he finally did it!" Cal cheered with the rest of the group clapping. Ash had finally asked Tahlia to be his girlfriend. I noticed Luke slip Michael a $5.

"Please tell me you were my betting on this." I asked my voice a little lower. Luke just shrugged.

"Your kidding right?" I turned to face Michael who was just smiling. I went to shuffle away from him but was to slow. His arm just reached around my waist pulling me into him.

"It's just a little fun." He whined into my neck.

"Just be careful fun can turn bad quickly." I responded hesitating.

"Naw you ruin my fun babe." He whined once again. His face still tucked in my neck.

"I think you mean I create it." I said so just he would hear. I felt him freeze and begin to smile on my neck. I turned to face him a playful shine in his eyes.

The rest of the day went well. Luke and Luke were meeting up after school discussing song writing or something, Jordan was going over to claims to work on some food technology project and the girls were going stop by the shops on the way home. I on the other hand had so much home work to so i opted to go straight home myself, leaving my car for the girls.

To be completely honest I should have known what happened next was coming. Everything had been so perfect and quite over the past few weeks. But although event had crossed my mind so many times too, I still didn't believe it was actually happening.
