Twenty seven - Confessing

HARRY'S POV:

"Good morning," Avery smiles when I walk into the kitchen.

"Hi, you're in a good mood today," I remark.

"Yeah, finally had a good nights rest thanks to my sleeping pills," she answers.

"Aren't sleeping pills bad?" I question sitting down on the stools.

"These contain natural ingredients not all those bad chemicals. So, they're not as bad as you think you are. They don't make me drowsy in the morning, they just make sure I get to sleep at night."

"Cool," I smile, Avery answering my smile with one of her one that I like so much. It pained me to see her so happy, seeing her trusting me when I had been such a jerk and never really gave her a reason why.

I have to tell her.

It is eating me alive, she needs to know how much of an idiot I have been. Yes, it will probably backfire, but I need to keep being honest with her. And keeping this from her was not good. For both of us.

"I'm gonna make some breakfast, you want some?" she asks sweetly.

"Nah, I'm not hungry," I say getting back up and walk to the living room.

I sit down on the couch and sigh. How am I gonna tell her? Hey Avery, at first I thought you were like someone I deeply despise.

"I'm such an idiot," I mutter.

"Why are you an idiot?" I hear Liams's voice. My eyes widen and I look at him.

"Uhm, long story."

"I've got time," he answers and sits down. I sigh and peer into the kitchen to make sure Avery wasn't listening.

"Okay, here it goes," I begin.

"Man, you're kind of a dick," Liam says when I finish.

"Thank you, it's not like I didn't know that yet," I reply sarcastically.

"Look, you just gotta tell her. If you keep this from her and she finds out she'll be pissed at you and never trust you again."

"She's gonna be mad either way."

"So, you got nothing to lose."

"Yeah, yeah, I'll go tell her," I mumble.

"Good luck, mate," Liam says and pats me on back on the back before leaving. I sigh and stand up.

Here goes nothing.

AVERY'S POV

"Avery?" I hear Harry calling me.

"Yeah?" I ask and walk out of the kitchen.

"There is something I need to tell you."

"What?" I ask him and sit down on the couch.

"Remember when I got so mad when I heard about your powers?"

"How could I forget that?" I say rolling my eyes.

"Well, I had my reason."

I wait for him to start his story. Harry clears his throat and starts talking again.
"My best friend Alexia got taken by the Ravens. The guy who took her right on in front of me was an earth bender. He had this evil smirk on his smile and he just made my life a living hell. The worst thing is that he used to be my best friend and he just betrayed me."
I frown and look at him.

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because I thought you were the same. People who bend things tend to be the same. I thought you were gonna be like him."
