Chapter 62

Avery's POV

I follow Adrianna upstairs into an empty room. She stops and I sigh as I close the door behind me.

"What do you want Adrianna?" I ask and she turns around and gives me a small nervous smile.

"First, I really am sorry about kissing you last time. And I really am glad that you two worked it out," she says and I look at her with a raised brow.

"For some reason I don't really believe that's true. I do think you're sorry about kissing me, but only because it made me mad at you. And I really don't think you're glad we were able to work it out," I say and she sighs before taking a step closer to me.

"Avery, yes I am partially sorry because it made you mad at me, I'm not going to lie. But I'm mostly sorry because by doing that I once again hurt you. I really never wanted to do that. Hurting you was and is the last thing I ever want to do. Avery, you're the love of my life," she finishes quietly.

I run my hand through my hair and take a deep breath before addressing her. "Ade, it doesn't even really matter. It doesn't change anything."

"I know it doesn't. And I'm really not going to keep asking for you to take me back," she says in what sounds like defeat. She sounds serious but I don't know if I can believe it. "I don't deserve you. All I want, all I have ever wanted, is for you to be happy. And if this new girl can give you that, then that makes me happy as well. Or as happy as I can be without you," she says with a sad smile.

She sounds sincere. She honestly sounds like she means it, but I have never known Adrianna to give up so easily.

"Okay, thank you. Is that all then?" I ask as I cross my arms over my chest. That can't have been all she wanted. There is always something more with her, nothing is ever easy, and when she shakes her head I know that I'm right.

"No, it's not. I know that you are still really mad at me and I definitely don't deserve it. But I really would like another chance at making things good between us again. I know that I can never have you in the way I want, but I really want to at least be your friend again. Avery, you are the only good thing to have ever happened to me. You're the only person in my whole life that has ever loved me and I really don't want to lose you," she says sadly. I see a tear stain her beautiful face and it softens me a little.

I sigh as I look at her sadly. "Ade, I really don't know if that's possible," I say sympathetically and I see her wipe another tear away.

"You really wouldn't even be willing to try?" she asks quietly.

I just silently look at Adrianna for a moment. I have never seen her like this. I have seen her cry before, I have see her sad before, but not once have I ever seen her like this. She looks... broken.

All of a sudden any hate I may have held for her is gone. All the hurt is gone. Maybe it's being back in this city, remembering all the good she has done for me. Maybe being with Mia has fixed the damage Adrianna caused. Or maybe I just feel sorry for her. Whatever it is that did it, I feel willing to forgive her.

"I think I could be willing to try, but I really don't know if it will work," I finally say with complete honesty. She looks up at me with a small smile seeming hopeful.
