24. Shards of Glass and Lots of Pain

CHAPTER 24:

~~Shards of Glass and Lots of Pain~~

INTRO:

"Avery, oh my god," he says

Jumping up and I look down, which is a mistake,

I have shards of glass, large and small embedded in my feet,

Huge gashes appearing, blood, spilling out.

"Oh my, what the fuck," I say

I take a step back, but shriek in pain, when I hit another shard of glass, from the previously smashed glass.

Previoulsy...

The doorbell rings, which I don't think much off considering that Billie always forgets her keys, so when I go and open the door without a thought in my mind, my glass of water in my hand

"Bil, what have I told you about keys!" I say not looking at who is standing in front of the door

"Uhh what?" the voice from the other side of the door says and I recognize that voice, I look up and drop the glass of water, looking at the person in the doorway in disbelief.

Present Day...

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!? I ask looking at the person in front of m, not noticing or acknowledging that I just dropped and most likely smashed the glass of water and that my pants are damp and my foot is throbbing.

"I wanted to talk to you, and er make sure you are alright," he says clearing his throat, my mouth drops open, I'm not ready to be talking to him, seeing him is making my heart hurt.

"You better close your mouth, or you'll catch flies," he says jokingly smirking and I start to glare at him, opening my mouth, his grin falls and he looks back at me.

"Right sorry, too soon" he replies rubbing the back of his neck

"What are you doing here Grayson," I say and he looks down, not meeting my eyes, but before anything can happen, he jumps up scaring me, yelling

"Avery, oh my god," he says jumping up and I look down, which is a mistake, I have shards of glass, large and small embedded in my feet, huge gashes appearing, blood, spilling out.

"Oh my, what the fuck," I say and take a step back, but shriek in pain, when I hit another shard of glass, from the previously smashed glass.

"Holy Fuck," I say and my eyes start to fill with tears, Grayson immediately snaps out of his state of shock and scoops me up into his arms carrying me bridal style to Billie's counter,

The prospect of Grayson of all people touching me is the last I want and if I wasn't bleeding like crazy I would slap him for touching me but I don't care, the funny thing is I didn't feel the pain before I saw my feet.

Grayson then grabs me some towels to stop the bleeding, grabbing me some water and some pain medication before kissing my forehead, grabbing my jacket.
