CHAPTER 19:

~~Heartbreak~~

INTRO:

"Avery" Billie whispers softly touching my hair,

"Aves?" Ally asks

"You need to talk to us" Billie tries again,

"Aves we can't help you unless you tell us what is wrong,"

"Avery," he says this time more firm

"Um," I say and my voice breaks

"You can do this" Ally says grabbing my hand squeezing it

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Previously:

I feel my heart shattered into a million pieces.

He's cheating on me, with someone we don't even know

I don't know what to so

So I ran back over to Billie, with tears streaming down my face, she takes one look at me before dropping the microphone, grabbing me tightly, and before I know it Jake is hugging the both of us,

Without saying a single word, they put me into the car, and before I know it I'm sitting in Billies living room, with a glass of ice cold water in my hand, the condensation dripping all over my hands, but I can't think or speak, I'm numb.

Present Time:

"Avery" Billie whispers softly touching my hair, but I'm still looking straight ahead of me, my eyes trained on the crayon mark on the wall, I feel the couch dip beside me and its Ally, I can smell her perfume, its sweet with a hint of rose.

"Aves?" Ally asks

"You need to talk to us" Billie tries again,

I don't say anything and Jake then moves from leaning on the wall to crouch down right in front of me, he lifts my chin so I'm looking at him dead in the eyes, and I know I look like a mess, I must have mascara running down my bloodshot eyes, my hair is all ruffled and I'm shivering.

"Aves we can't help you unless you tell us what is wrong," he says and I frown my heart aching again

"Avery," he says this time more firm

"Um," I say and my voice breaks

"You can do this" Ally says grabbing my hand squeezing it

"I can't" I say my head falling tears dripping into my lap, barely missing the glass of water, I'm clutching in my hands,

I notice that I am gripping the glass so tight that my knuckles are turning white, so I release the cup and put it on the floor beside me, taking a deep breath

"I walked around the corner from finishing the song, with Billie," I say turning my head to her and she nods, they all do at the same time, a bit weird actually.
