Best friends / k.l.

Avery

I sat on the couch with my legs relaxed on Kian's. He kept his hands placed over them. We were all spread out across the living room. Corey was cuddled up next Fran. Bobby was relaxed beside Kian and Jc was on the other side of me. "What are we going to do today?" Fran asked as she fixed her position on the couch. "We always sit around. I wanna have fun. " she whined.

"Well Meredith is coming over today, so you losers can figure it out." I rolled my eyes as I pulled my legs off his lap. "Why did you do that? My legs are cold." He said trying to pull them back into his lap.

"Have Meredith keep your legs warm." I scoffed as I threw my legs into Jc's lap.

"Fine. " Kian stood up off the couch. He started walking towards the stairs. He stopped to look back at me but my legs still hadn't moved from Jc's legs.  "Whatever." He rolled his eyes before he disappeared upstairs.

"I can't stand that fricken girl." I said as I rolled my eyes. "She's just- " I started to say something before I ran my fingers through my hair. "Ughhhhhh." I groaned as I threw my hands on the couch.

"She makes him happy." Corey said in some fake Australian accent. "We need to be happy for him." I shook my head.

"She's gonna destroy him and everyone here knows it. " we all nodded with frowns across our face. "I can't stand to sit by and watch." I fixed my posture on the couch.

My eyes fell to the floor as my heart broke inside my chest. I would always want Kian to be happy because he deserves that. He deserved the world and someone who would willingly give him that. Meredith is only going to hurt him and I don't have a good feeling about her. Maybe it's because I love him, and I'm selfish. I just can't stand her.

"Avery? " Bobby tapped my leg as he pulled me from my thoughts. "Go talk to him." He whispered as he pointed up the stairs. I nodded as pulled myself away from everyone.

"Kian?" I placed my hand on the door knob, it was locked. "Are you okay?" He stayed silent. I entered the code to the door, shutting it behind me.

"How the hell did you get in here?" He said as he turned his desk chair around. "I told you the code." He sighed as he threw himself back in the chair. "What do you want?" He scoffed as he turned back to his computer.

"I wanted to say that I'm sorry." I played with my fingers as my eyes fell low. "I'm sorry. I really am. I should be happy for you and support you through it all. I'm sorry. " I started walking towards the door.

"Come here." Kian said as I stopped in my tracks. I turned around and faced him. "Come here." He stood up from the chair as I moved closer to him. He held his arms or wide for me. "I love you Avery. " he wrapped his arms around me before he placed a kiss on the top of my head.

"I love you Kian." I mumbled into his chest before I pulled away. "When is she coming over?" He looked at the clock.

"She will be here in like ten minutes." I sighed as my eyes fell. "Why?" I shrugged.

"Have fun Kian. " I said before I started walking towards the door.

"Please be happy for me. " he said as I slightly turned my head to him. I couldn't say anything but I nodded.

I walked back downstairs to see Jc sprawled out on the couch by himself. I looked around and didn't see anyone else. "Where is everyone?" He brought his eyes to meet mine.

"Hanging out with their friends. " he whined as I half laughed.

"Get up!" I said as I pulled him up off the couch. "Come hang out with me!" I started pulling him towards the door as Kian trotted down the stairs.

His eyes fell to our hands, I completely forgot that I was holding Jc's hand. He frowned softly before wiping it away. "Where are you going?" He asked as he followed us to the door.

"We don't know yet. " I said as I let go of Jc's hand. "Probably to the mall and to get food. I don't know." Kian nodded as he shoved his hands inside of his pockets.

"Be safe. Have fun." He said as I pulled Jc out the front door. I seen Meredith walking up the drive way and it took all I had to not hit her.

"Do you ever change?" She smarted off to me. I always wore a tee shirt and jeans, it made me comfortable. "I mean, can you afford new clothes." She laughed as I clinched my fists.

"Do it." Jc mumbled as I slung my fist into her nose.

"I mean, can you afford a new nose?" I laughed as I walked to my car. I looked back at her. She was holding her nose as she ran into the house.

"Dang." Jc laughed. "I'm actually really proud of that." Jc gave me a high five as I smiled. "That was impressive! I didn't think you would actually punch her. " he was still in shock. I continued to laugh because his reaction was priceless. "Kian will kill you." I shrugged as I kept my eyes on the road.  I was so cold towards her and I didn't care. "What's your beef with her?" He asked as he pulled one of his legs up into the seat. "Like I get she's not good for Kian, but why do you care so much?" I shrugged.

"Kian deserves the world.  He deserves someone who isn't going to let him down and hurt him. He deserves someone who is going to make him happy and give him everything he wants. " His eyes grew extremely big.

"Holy crap!" He yelled as a smile grew on his lips. "You like Kian! " he yelled through the car as he jumped around in excitement.  "This is great news, holy frick!" His smile never faded.

"So what if I do?" I said as a smile grew on my lips. "Please don't tell anyone. You are the only one that knows. " he nodded. "Pinky promise?" He wrapped his pinky around mine as we kissed either side. "Thank you." I smiled at him.

"This is amazing. " he said as he relaxed back in his seat. "I have wanted you guys to date for a long fricken time. Like it's crazy." I half laughed.

My secret is out.

Um.. I know Kian and Meredith aren't a thing but for the sake of this book, they will be.
Please don't judge.
