The Help (A Chris Brown Fan Fiction)

Chapter 2

Averie’s POV

I walked around the rest of the day searching for my classes since Chris got all mad and left me alone is this huge school.  At the end of 7th period I caught up with him

“Hey Chris”

He stopped and looked down at me.  Have I mentioned that he is like a whole foot taller than me? I’m a short 5 feet and he’s like over 6 feet.

“What?” he said kind of harsh.

“I just wanted to apologize for being… rude earlier.  I was hoping maybe we could actually be friends?  I mean I could use one and maybe you could t-“

I was cut off by his booming laugh.  He laughed for a while as I stood there waiting getting impatient.  After about two minutes he wiped the tears away from his face as it returned back to its stone nature.  He got in my face.  As he spoke, his breath fanned across my face

“Look, I don’t need anyone.  I most definitely don’t need you either”

He spun around on his heel to walk off but I chased after him.  I stopped him again and he said

“Now you are starting to annoy me, what do you want?”

“I want to be your friend and get to know you, I have no friends here except Sadie.  Please just give me a chance”

I looked at him with pleading eyes, begging him to give me a chance.  I continued

“I promise not to judge you or discriminate you, I have way worse problems than some of the crybabies at this school”

He laughed at this, I thought maybe he was finally opening up but I was sadly mistaken when his face turned back to stone

“That’s what’s wrong with society today.  Everyone thinks their problems are worse than everyone else but little do they know someone is out there with a much bigger problem.  People are so stupid”

He walked away again leaving me in the hallway to cry.  He just doesn’t understand, and he won’t until I decide to tell him.  As I walked to my car, I saw Chris with his headphones in walking down the street.  Maybe I could give him a lift home.  I put the key in the ignition and pulled out of my parking spot.  I got out of the school parking lot and pulled up beside Chris walking.  I slowed down while calling his name.  Apparently he didn’t hear me. 

When he finally noticed the car beside him, he pulled out his earphone obviously annoyed.

“Y’know stalking is very rude also, I’d appreciate if you’d stop.” He gave me a fake smile.

“I’m trying to be nice and help y-“ I was cut off again by him

“That’s the thing Averie! I.  DON’T.  NEED.  YOUR.  HELP.” He replied blankly.

“Why can’t you get to know me before you start judging me? I haven’t judged you once” I said getting annoyed.

“Yes you have, when you and Sadie were talking about me you were judging me.  You don’t know if what she described me as is the real-“

I cut him off this time giving him a taste of his own medicine

“Based on your actions before the conversation with Sadie and your actions up until now, I’m seeing that her description indeed fits you” I replied smartly.

“Maybe I act this way at school because I know how society runs based on experience” He replied with the same confidence.

“Well that was the other people.  I’m a completely different story.  Oh and by the way, cutting people off and denying nice gestures is rude.  I’d appreciate if you’d stop” I said giving him a fake smile.

And with that I sped off down the road, I looked in my rearview mirror to see him smiling at the ground.  Haha! I got to him.  I headed into the Food Lion up the street from my house and greeted my co-workers.  I made my way to the back where I changed into my “uniform” shirt.  I got up to the front where I started stocking the shelves. 

I had an earphone in jamming to some Jhene Aiko.  The Worst came on and I immediately got in to my groove.  I started singing lightly swaying to the music and really getting into my groove.  I was interrupted by a deep chuckle

“I see you are a music lover too”

Chris’s POV

After that long walk I got home and fell back on my bed.  The way Averie came back at me with my own medicine really attracted me to her.  She is really deep but I’m still testing her.  I don’t trust many people and that’s because of many reasons that I don’t want to get into. 

“Chris!!” my momma called from downstairs

“Yes ma?” I asked

“Can you run to the store and get the things on this list?”

“Sure thing ma”

I grabbed the keys out of the drawer but she stopped me

“Boy… Where do you think you are going with my car keys?”

I sighed and smiled apologetically.  I walked out of the door sticking my earphones in to block out the rest of the world on my way to the store.  I walked in to the store and studied the list before starting this scavenger hunt.  My mom wants all of these specific brands and stuff and it’s actually really stressful.  I was on one aisle and I heard someone singing on the other aisle, I peeked around to see a girl swaying while singing to The Worst.  I absolutely love Jhene Aiko.

I walked up behind her knowing exactly who it was.  I chuckled and said

“I see you are a music lover too”

She turned around to look at me.  As soon as she realized who I was her face turned a deep red and she looked shocked.  I smiled at her and she gave me a small smile back.

“Y-yeah, it’s my only escape” she said

She was hesitant when she said this.  Was there seriously something going on with her?

“Escape from what?” I asked carefully

A look of sorrow came over her face as she whispered “My father abuses me”

Bullshit.  She’s lying to get to my core right? Why was I even being nice to her?  I don’t believe her. 

“Yeah right, now really tell me.  What you depressed over an ex still?” I teased

Tears filled her eyes as she growled

“You know nothing.”

When did she get so angry?  Was she serious? I looked at her as tears fell down her face and as her face turned even redder.  Redder than I could imagine.  Oh snap… She was telling the truth

“Oh my gosh, you’re telling the truth” I said astonished.  I instantly felt bad.

“Yeah no shit Sherlock” she mumbled

I pulled her into my chest wiping her tears away.  I felt how tense her body was and I involuntarily rubbed her back to calm her down.  I looked her in the eyes and kissed her lips.  Even while she was crying, she was still beautiful.  What am I doing? Am I letting her in?  I pulled away and ran out of the store returning all the things I picked up. 

I ran all the way home to meet my mom at the door.

“Where are the groceries son?”

I chewed on my bottom lip and told her I’d be back.  I ran back out of the house to the Wal-Mart about a mile away from the Food Lion.  I don’t know what Averie is doing to me but it’s taking a toll on me.

(A/N) hey guysss! Not much to say except do you think Chris is finally loosening up?  Y’all know the drill.  Bye lovesssss!!
