Love The Game: Overtime

Chapter 27

Alex's POV

Sleeping at Sara's without her here is weird. After Ave went to sleep I ended up lying on the couch just thinking about everything that's been going on with them. I feel bad for both of them. Sara wouldn't stop crying for days after it happened, and eventually when she did she was still in a shit mood. Avery wasn't any better. If anything, I think she was worse. No one saw or heard anything from her for almost a week, then all of a sudden, she's at school playing basketball. She never even replied to any of my texts. She's so weird. She's the type of person that cares about people but doesn't show it. I don't know if I have it all right but this is just what I've observed. The only person she seemed to give a shit about was Sara. Anyone else just didn't matter. Callie included, but she still was always talking to Callie or they would hang out. I'd see them in the halls together all the time but I never thought Avery would cheat on Sara. I know Sara said they'd been having a rough time but I didn't think Ave was that type. I guess people are full of surprises, good or bad.

Being in someone else's house is weird. If Ave had seemed okay I definitely wouldn't have stayed but I could tell she felt like shit so I figured it'd be better if I just toughed it out. Eventually I fell asleep at around 2 in the morning.

I was having an amazing dream. I had graduated college at the top of my class. I was rich and I had a great house, a really nice car, a really hot husband. Everything was wonderful. I was snapped back into reality when I heard banging on the door. I opened my eyes and it took me a second to realize I wasn't at home. I looked around me and then remembered that had stayed the night at Avery and Sara's. I stood up to go towards the door, when I did though I banged my knee on the coffee table.

"Shit." I mumbled under my breath. I walked passed Sara's room, the door was closed, then passed Avery's room. The door was open and I could see Avery still sound asleep on her bed. At least I hope she's asleep, she did have a concussion. I rolled my eyes when I saw her move a bit. I overthink things. Whoever was at the door was still banging on it, I'm surprised Avery was sleeping through it. I walked to the front door and unlocked the top lock, then the door knob and opened the door. In front of me was a very angry Sara and standing next to her was Callie. I blinked a couple times to make sure I was actually awake now and not dreaming.

"Sara? What're you doing here?" I had told her last night that I was staying here to make sure Avery was okay, so I know she wasn't mad about that. She was pissed though.

"Where's Avery?" Her voice was scary.

"She's still asleep. Why..." I didn't finish my sentence because Sara was already passed me storming towards Avery's room. I looked over at Callie who was still standing in the door way and had a worried look on her face.

"What's going on?" I asked wiping the sleep out of my eyes.

"Avery and I didn't sleep together." She said flatly. Before the sentence could even register in my brain I heard

"OW WHAT THE FUCK?"

"YOU'RE SO FUCKING STUPID! GOD I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU!"

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?" At this Callie and I ran to Avery's room to see what was going on. They were actually wrestling on the bed. Sara kept going after Avery trying to hit her, not seriously but just to knock some sense into her. Avery on the other hand was trying to get away and kept having to push Sara off of her. It was a spectacle.

"YOU'RE AN IDIOT THAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON!" At this I looked over at Callie and said

"Do you want some coffee?" She was staring at the scene laid out before us. Hesitantly she said
