Chapter 10
Jeff POV
I examined her injuries as anger took over me. I quickly ran upstairs and slipped on my shoes, but before I could leave mavis stood in the doorway of my room blocking the exit.
"Jeff please you'll only make it worse!" She pleaded, tears falling down her rosy bruised cheek.
"Make it worse?! Mavis look at you!" I yelled back at her. "He put his hands on you again! He hurt you again! And you want me to ignore it AGAIN!"
"Jeff, if you go over there you'll just make him angrier!" Her voice strained.
I rubbed my face in anger before running a hand through my hair tugging at it.
"Mavis, I cant just let him continue doing this to you" I said softly.
"There's Nothing we can do" she sighed. There was but it all ended in us getting separated and we couldn't let that happen. If we went to the police foster care would relocate her.
"He kicked me out" she cried as she sat on my bed. I kneeled in front of her, my anger slightly calming so I can comfort her, but her tears only fanned the flame of anger. "Stacy told him about Grayson, and he called me whore"
"That bitch really has it coming" I mumbled.
"Jeff" she gave me a look. She didn't like it when I talked bad about her sister, even though Stacy deserves it.
"I'm sorry, I know" I sighed. "Stay here"
I walked to my sisters room who was pretending to be on her laptop but really she was listening in our conversation.
"She okay?" Ava asked in barely a whisper.
"Yeah, she's going to be staying here for awhile. Can she borrow some things? Tomorrow I'm going to get her stuff, so it's just for now" I explained.
"Of course anything I can do to help" Avalon smiled.
I silently thanked her before returning to my best friend.
"Come to Avalon's room, she's going to let you borrow some pjs and shit"
"I don't want to intrude" she immediately denied.
"No May, she wants to help you. Tomorrow we're going to go get your stuff, okay?" I rubbed her knee.
"I don't want to go back there" she mumbled looking down. I placed my hand under her chin making her look at me.
"Tomorrow's the last time you will ever step foot in that house, I promise" I gave her a hopeful smile.
"Thank you so much" she hugged me.
I hugged back. Her hair smelled of strawberries and I loved.
"Okay now go and shower" I playfully ruffled her hair making her chuckle.

Later later that night....
"You can take my bed, I'll crash of the sofa" I offered picking up a pillow.
"Jeff that's nonsense, c'mon we'll line up the pillows between us so I won't touch you in your sleep" she teased.
"Ha Ha" I laughed sarcastically. "It's not that it's just you're with Grayson and I don't want it to be weird or anything"
"Jeff it's fine we're not doing anything we're just best friends" ouch.
"Fine, but I'm putting up the pillow wall" I smiled.
"Yeah, yeah" she giggled.
That entire night all I could think about is ripping Jared's throat out and how lucky Grayson is......
