Chapter 29
Avery
"Avery?" Addison says as she enters my room and I look at her. She was in my house in Malibu because I had called her over and she was spending some time with me.
"Addy," I say hugging her and she hugs me back. I missed my sister.
"How are you?" I ask and she smiles. I kiss her cheek.
"I am good and you look beautiful," she says pointing at my lavender hair and I smile. Liam and I did recently get our hair dyed Lavender together about a few weeks ago but we have been drifting apart.
"How's things with Liam?" she asks and I sigh. We walk downstairs to my living room.
"It's not that good," I say and she raises her eyebrows in confusion.
"I thought you both were best friends. What happened?" she asks and I pull out some bowls and ice cream I had brought juts for her.
"I mean we were fine but I can't just be friends with him. Come on, like I love him and being just friends kills me," I say and she takes out some spoons.
"Why don't you become something more?" she asks and I take a deep breath.
"It's not that easy Addy. I mean I have been hurt too much before and I can't let myself get hurt. I just can't and I know that I will get hurt if I date him. Something tells me that," I say and she nods sitting on the counter and puts some fruits in her ice cream.
"Does he know about that?" she asks and I nod.
"But he doesn't know just how much I love him and I will give my everything if he promises that he would never hurt me. I will take him back in a heartbeat," I say and she smiles.
"I hate Hailey," she says out of the blue and I laugh. I eat my ice cream.
"This is so good," she says and I nod.
"I know. I made sure it arrived before you came because I knew that you love it," I say and she hugs me.
"Thank you Avery," she says kissing my cheek and I laugh.
"Oh and also, we have to go shopping. You are turning 17 soon and I will be 22. We are going to shop like tomorrow doesn't exist," I say and her eyes grow large once again.
"Oh my god Avery! You really are the best," she says and I laugh. We finish our ice creams and get changed to go shopping. We took *my car to the mall and started shopping. There was no limit for Addison because I wanted her to enjoy and get what she wanted so she got everything she wanted.
"How's that crush of yours?" I ask as we look at some dresses and she blushes.
"I think he likes me too," she says and I squeal causing everyone to turn around and notice us. They asked for pictures and I agreed.
"Ask him out on a date," I say as I smile for a picture and Addison shakes her head.
"Come on Addy. You both look so cute together," I say and she nods and looks away. I knew that's she was blushing. We paid for our items and walked out and along the street, looking at stores.
I open my phone and I open my social media to find some horrifying news.
"Addy? Is this real?" I ask and she looks at me and then into my phone. She was shocked too.
"What?" she says and takes the phone from my hand and I could feel my eyes tearing up. Liam and Hailey were engaged. He proposed to her and she accepted. I didn't even know they were together.
Addison quickly looked at me and realized that tears were rolling my cheek and there were people around us. I broke down completely and buried my face in my hands as Addison hugged me.
"Come on Avery. No one should see you like this," she says and we sit in my car and she drives me to a quiet place and I get out and breathe. My heart ached so much.
"Avery, it's alright, calm down," she says coming over as I cry hysterically. I couldn't even breathe because I was crying so much and my vision was blurry because of the tears.
"He-he proposed to her Addy. He is getting married to her," I say and she holds me tight. It did affect me a lot knowing that Liam was someone else's fiancé.
"Come on now Avery. You don't need a man. You are strong enough alone," she says rubbing my back and I part away and wipe my tears.
"I know but it's just I loved him so much and I thought we were going to get back together but-," I stop mid sentence and sigh. Now there was nothing I could do about it now. I had a chance to get with him and I lost it.
"Thank you Addy," I say and she smiles. We drive back home and watch a movie. I was upset but I wasn't going to let that ruin my night with Addison.
I checked my social media and everyone was just talking about how much they hated Hailey because they claimed her to be the reason we couldn't get back together. They weren't with their engagement and the #LiamandAverygetbacktogether was trending on twitter.
Of course it did hurt me that after all this while of calling me his best friend, he never once mentioned that they were back together nor did he even speak to me about him proposing to her. I was upset about it.
People wanted my saying in this for some reason. They wanted me to give out my opinion and honestly I don't like tweeting or just being on social media when I am upset because I will end up posting something out of hurt or anger and then I'll regret it once I'm back to being alright
I rest my head on the sofa and stare at the roof. It was getting harder to breathe because I felt like Liam and I would get back together. Sure I had some issues when it came to love but I knew that we would overcome it.
It gets hard to get your head around the fact that you have been dreaming about getting back together with someone you love and spending the rest of your life with them and then suddenly all of it crumples down in front of you.
I had a good life. I am blessed with everything I have but I couldn't get the one thing I have always craved for since I was a little girl. The thing I lost faith in when my parents separated, the thing I hated after I got my heart broken over and over again because I chose a man who I thought will give me love but he ended up breaking me like everyone else.
The one thing I still cry about and that is love.
