Mavis POV
"Come on may give me details" Avalon pleaded as I giggled in my bed.
"Ava it's late we need to sleep" I smiled even though she couldn't see me since the room was pitch black and she was in her bed. Every night she interrogates me about my day, my relationship with Grayson, and now my family.
"No!" She whined before turning on her lamp making us both squint before our eyes adjusted to the light. She hopped from her bed to mine, sitting on my legs. "Ever since the whole Dylan thing I've had to live vicariously through you, so details come on"
I sighed before sitting up. "Fine what do you want to know?" I kinda felt like I owed it to her because now she just sits in her room all day, I don't regret pulling her away from Dylan because that guy is an asshole who can eat a bag of buttholes.
"About this Rudy guy" she wiggles her eyebrows. Is this girl only into boys way over her age limit.
"No, no stop with the wiggles" I gestured towards her eyebrows, she stopped stifling a giggle. "Rudy is great, he has a girlfriend; a pregnant girlfriend" she gave me a 'really' look as I continued.
"He works in construction since his, well our, uncle is an architect. He invited me to a family barbecue this weekend so I could meet everyone and I'm honestly so excited. I could learn more about my mom, and meet my abuela I've always wanted one of those! Hopefully she's one of those sassy abuelas that isn't afraid to speak her mind" I looked at Ava who was paying more attention to the hem of her shirt than she was me.
"Ava I thought you wanted to hear this" I sighed.
"Yeah, well not anymore" she got up walking slowly back to her bed before turning off the lights.
I got up sitting next to her turning the light back on, she pulled up her blanket over her face making me sigh and pull it back down. She had tears in her eyes.
"Ava what's wrong?" I asked softly as I wiped the fallen tears away.
"Its going to start off with the barbecue then you're going to have such a great time that when they ask you to move in you'll say yes without hesitation. Then you'll say you'll visit but in reality you'll just forget about us and have a happy life with your new family, your real family" She sniffled.
"Oh, Ava, that's not going to happen. Yeah maybe I'll sleep over and spend large amounts of time over there but I'll always come home. This is my home, you, Jeff, and Mary. We may not be blood related but you are my family" I gave her a sweet reassuring smile.
"Pinky promise?" she held out her pinky. I was about to laugh but she had a serious expression.
"Pinky promise." I hooked my pinky with hers with a smile.

"On a scale of one to ten, how mad do you think I can make my brother today?" Ethan asked as we walked into the lunchroom.
"Seriously dude" I groaned. "Six"
"Do you think that low of me?" He put his hand over his chest pretending to be hurt. "I can at least get him to an eight"
"Twenty bucks and you buying me McDonalds whenever I want for the next month says you can't" I chuckled as we approached the table. I sat down next to Grayson kissing him on the cheek. He smiled at me slinging his arm around my shoulders before continuing his conversation with Aaron. I looked over at Ethan who winked at me before speaking.
"So Mavis last night was fun" he spoke loudly making my eyes widen.
"What happened last night?" Grayson asked his full attention on us now.
"Oh nothing" Ethan smirked looking down at his food.
"Mavis what happened last night?" Grayson looked down at me.
"N-nothing I was with Avalon and Jeff" I gave him a confused look. Was Ethan trying to get him mad or furious.
"Shit must've had you in my dreams then" he winked at me with his signature smirk. Grayson got up quickly leaning over the table to grab Ethan but Ethan leaned back falling onto the floor in laughter.
"Eat a dick" Grayson scoffed before sitting back down. He smooshed my cheeks together before placing a soft kiss on my lips. "You're mine"
I giggled before wrapping my arms around his torso.
"Hey guys!" A bright voice greeted from behind us. Jeff, Olivia, and Rachelle sat at the table with us.
"Sup" Grayson gave Jeff a fist bump.
"So, party at my house this Saturday; everyone be there." Olivia semi-demanded.
"Uh" I looked up at Grayson I couldn't go to her party I had the barbecue and I wasn't missing that for the world.
"We'll pass I have to take her to a thing" Grayson sipped his soda.
"Guess they're out then" Jeff shrugged.
"J, I thought you were coming with me to the-"
"Can't, Sorry" he said bluntly.
"But-" he wasn't evening listening to me, the fuck was his problem? I grabbed his wrist before dragging him out of the lunchroom.
"Hey what the hell is your problem!" He pulled his wrist from my grip harshly.
"What's my problem!? What's your problem! You've been ignoring me lately and I get that you have a girlfriend and she takes up most of your attention now but that doesn't mean that you have to cut me off completely" I ranted.
"Oh I'm the one that's been distant. I had to find out about your new brother from Grayson, you don't tell me shit anymore so don't come and tell me that I'm the distant one" he scoffed running a hand through his hair.
"I'm sorry it's just it was a lot and gray was the first person I saw, I mean you're barely even home anymore." I sighed looking down.
"I thought that you would want to go with me, since you've been with me though everything" I said in a small voice hoping he'd cave. But instead he scoffed.
"Ask Grayson" he shrugged before walking back into the lunch room. I gasped at him as he walked away. I walked back to the table but halfway there I stopped realizing that Olivia's friends had joined the group. Those were to many people for me to deal with.
I turned around walking out of the lunchroom over to the library, maybe I can squeeze in a good book take my mind off of things. I turned the corner bumping into something hard. I looked up from the ground to see a bruised Dylan. Fuck.
"Well if it isn't chip, where's dale?" He squatted so we were at eye level. You'd think a senior would have better insults, right?
"Oh don't have your little boy toy to speak for you?" He asked harshly. "Well when you see him give him this message" he grabbed my chin roughly leaning in stopping close enough for me to feel his breath on my face but far enough that our lips didn't touch. "I'm coming for him" he let me go so I fell back.
This was bad, this was really bad what if he pressed charges? Jeff could go to jail, his situation would shine light on me and I'll have to go back to Jared's house or worse; get relocated.
A/N sorry this chapter probably fucking sucks going through some major writers block, but don't worry it'll get better..........hopefully.
