What am I || Jack Avery & Daniel Seavey

fourty-seven

*Souline's POV

We didn't really speak that much on our way back home. It was the first time in a month, where I wanted to be at my own apartment, rather than the Avery's house. But with the luck I have, the water in my apartment stopped working three days ago, and now I'm stuck with the Avery's for at least a week, if not even more until they fix it.

We were the first ones to arrive at their house. Jack's car was nowhere to be found. I was kind of glad, because I really don't want to talk to him right now, and I know it would be the first thing he would want to do.

„I know you would rather be at home right now, but you two are going to fix this, and everything will be fine again." Sydnie said walking into the house.

„I just want to sleep honestly.. it was an exhausting day." I yawned.

„You can sleep in the guest room, if you don't want to..." she quietly said.

„That would be great." I smiled.

„You know.. he didn't mean it like that."

„But it sounded like he did mean it. It's fine, really." I forced a smile onto my lips.

„Promise me, you'll talk to him?"

„I'm going to grab some of my stuff out of his room before he comes. Thank you again. Love you." I hugged her, ignoring her question.

*Jack's POV

I was going over and over the conversation with Gabriela, and still couldn't figure out what had happened. What made Souline so angry? I can't remember saying something that could've hurt her feelings. I need to talk to her immediately, but I'm not quite sure she will be down to talk to me.

I walked into my room with Lavender in my arms, hoping to find Souline in there, but she wasn't. I looked around, and noticed some of her stuff was missing, like the pillow she can't sleep without. I started to panick. I know she couldn't go home, but where else would she be?
I walked over to Sydnie's room, hoping to find her in there.

„Syd?" I knocked on the door.

„Come in."

I looked around, but again.. no Souline.

„She's in the guest room." she mumbled, and I felt relieved. A part off me was scared, she could've gone to a friends house. "I know if I tell you to leave her alone, you won't listen to me and still bother her in the guest room, but at least respect her if she tells you to leave her alone for the night, alright?"

I nodded and went to the guest room. I waited for a second to take a deep breath and then knocked at her door.

„Syd, I'm fine. Really." I heard her through the door.

She lied. She wasn't fine. I could hear it in her voice. I opened the door and walked in. She was facing the other side, so she couldn't see it was me.

„Hey." I said sitting down at the edge of the bed.

„I.. I want so sleep." she fake yawned.

„That was the worst fake yawn I have ever heard in my entire life."

A light giggle escaped her lips.

„You can sleep in our room if you're tired." I mumbled.

„You mean your room. We're just friends." she said in a monoton voice, and then I realized why she was mad at me.

„Is that why you're mad at me? I didn't mean it like that Soul." my hand touching her leg, which she immediately pulled away.

„I don't care honestly. I want to sleep."

„Soul.. please, let me explain." I tried again.

„Explain what?" she suddenly sat up. „I know she's the mother of your child, and you'll always be connected to her, because you're Lavenders dad. I know you are, but what am I? A friend? I'm just a friend? After all this time we have spent together, I'm just a friend?" tears forming in her eyes.

I rushed over to her side and cupped her cheeks.

„Don't cry baby, please don't cry. You're not just a friend, and you know it. I know I should've used different words before. I was so angry, I didn't realize what I was saying. I just didn't want her to take Lavender, because it was our day." I tried to calm her down.

„I want to sleep. Can you please leave me alone?" she asked without any emotions, removing her face from my hands.

„If you really want me to.."

she nodded.

„Sweet dreams angel." I said before closing the guest room door behind me.
