Chloe's POV:
She looked so sad, it broke my heart, I started going after her but Joyce stopped me.
"Let her relax Chloe" She said and pulled me to sit next to her.
"Chloe tell me the truth now, why did this sweet girl cry?"
She asked sincerely worried.
"I'm not sure" I said. But I had an idea why, after hearing about her past.
"Chloe, please." Joyce asked.
"She had a really rough past.. I think she just never experienced something like that." I said. I felt my heart ache just at the thought of that.
"Something like someone cooking for her?" Joyce asked surprised.
"I guess.. Can I please go to her now?" I asked, I wanted to comfort her, to hug her, to make all the pain go away, even though I knew it's not possible.
"I want to go to her before you do." Joyce said, clearly worried, Avery got into her heart real fast, well, I think that was a part of my angel's magic, it was impossible to not love her.
"No Joyce, she's my friend! I want to make sure she's ok!" I started raising my voice.
"Chloe please, I just think she needs a.. Parent figure now" Joyce said. I got what she said, I knew she was right, And I was willing to do whatever it takes to help Avery.
"Ok.. well, let's go together" I said, and we both left the table.
As we went upstairs I was aching for my angel, planning on ways I could make her life better, treat her like she deserves to be treated, make her lots of meals, spoiling her, and keeping her safe.

Avery's POV:
"Sweety can we come in?" Joyce said. I wiped my tears and got up to sit on the bed.
"Yes" I said, they entered the room and Joyce closed the door behind her, they both sat on bed besides me, Chloe sat closer to me and held my hand.
"I'm so sorry I acted like this, you were so nice to me and I just cried walked away like that, it was really rude." I said, ashamed.
"Honey you have nothing to be sorry for, you weren't rude at all." Joyce said in a soothing voice.
"Why did you cry sweety?" Joyce asked.
Chloe squeezed my hand like saying it's ok to open up to her.
I felt like I could trust Joyce, It felt like she really cared, so I told them everything about my past, in more details then what I told Chloe before, I left out my powers of course. They listened to me without disturbing me. I could see tears forming in Chloe's eyes.
"And I was never treated like that, like.. Like I'm important enough to actually make me something to eat.. I never had a real home, I was never loved or taken care of.. Even by my own mother, she was kept away from me by my father most of the time, when she was still alive.. I was just so overwhelmed when you were so nice to me.. I'm so sorry I acted like that" I continued.
Joyce suddenly got up, pulled me up, hugged me, and cried.
"Don't cry Joyce I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make you sad!" I said, I felt guilty.
"You sweet sweet girl stop apologizing." She giggled between sobs and tears.
Chloe just sat there and stared at me.
"This is your home now Avery, I mean it.
And what ever you need, I'm here for you." Joyce said. Tears started flowing out of my eyes again. I hugged her back.
"I don't deserve this kindness.. Thank you joyce" I said quietly.
"You deserve it and much more Avery. Now, I want you to feel at home. I'm going to make you pancakes, I'll call you when it's ready" Joyce said, she pulled away from my hug, and wiped her tears.
"You really don't have to.." I started saying, but Joyce didn't let me finish the sentence.
"I'll call you when it's ready". Joyce said again.
"Thank you so much Joyce" I said, she smiled to me a warm smile, and left the room.
I turned to see Chloe still staring at me.
"Are you mad at me? I know I shouldn't have cried I just couldn't control it." I said, waiting for her respond. She just laughed a bitter laugh.
"I'm not mad at you angel, I just can't believe how much you've been through, and how sweet and good hearted you turned out to be even after all of it.. I'm mad at the world.. I'm mad that you don't know how much more you deserve." She got up, put one hand on my waist and another behind my head, and pulled me to her, she leaned in fast, and stopped right before our lips touched, I felt her breath on my lips, butterflies filled my stomach again, and I felt my cheeks burning. She looked deep into my eyes, with so much desire, and finally, kissed me.
