Avery's pov It grows quiet except for the sound of our harsh breathing. We stood there silently for what felt like hours but it was probably a minute or two. The air around is foggy with tension that curled and twisted in the room nastily She's still staring atcoldly. but thankfully her attention has been pulled from the snow globe that meant so much to me. "It was a mistake okay." I whispered the lie and hoped she'd calm down enough orget the globe in her hand entirely ut I was a fool to think that Melissa would easily fall for it. Because her sneer returns and I go numb the second I hear the shattering of glass hitting the wall just above the door, just above my head.
The air leaves my lips as they part into a silent gasp of pain, and I blinked, my chest closing in just as painful as my throat. I am afraid to look behind me. Afraid to see the future Xade had promised in that tiny globe. shattered.

Her dry cruel laugh made my eyes fall to the floor as I try to cto terms with the loss of my precious gift. Had she really thrown it? I only realized I am crying when I saw my tears drop to the floor just beside. my foot.
But that's not all that is beside my foot, a shattered glass and the tiny little house that was once secured in the snow globe laid helplessly on the cold flooring. I crouched, my throat tightening as I reach for the little house and ignore the loud footfalls of Melissa's boots on the floor as she draw near.
As her shadow casts over me, my fingers wrap around the house and my lower lip trembles as I cry silently. Her boot suddenly lift and step on top of the shattered glass and the crunch sound that cafter she pushed her weight on the glass felt like a warning of what she wanted to do to me.
I looked up, my eyes meeting her cold ones as she stares down atwith a scowl so deep it drew a hideous line between her brows. Her lips curl back." You've always been after him, you never tried to hide it either. I should have known it was only a matter of tuntil you spread your legs for him like the cheap little slut that you are. I'm not surprised." Her words are harsh but I am too numb to even care to let them hit home. Nothing she says now can hurtmore than her shattering that globe that meant so much to me. I gripped the little house in my hand and stood up slowly, chest to chest with her, breath to breath with her.
"You're right," I said emotionlessly. “I lied.” I searched her eyes, enjoying how the cold cast began to reveal the shock she felt by my words. My lips tipped up, curving into a smirk. “It wasn't a mistake. What Xade and I did wasn't, we're not." She stumbled back, her eyes now filled with anger and surprise. I let out a short dry laugh as I stared into her stunned expression. The earlier guilt I felt is now shattered with the glass behind me. There's no guilt or remorse I felt at the moment.
I can no longer lie, what would be the point when she has already destroyed that one thing I wished to save? Surprised? I thought you weren't. What Melissa? Cat got your tongue" I taunted, clenching the little house in my hand harder until the material it was made of bit into my skin.
Melissa lets go of her shock and steps forward once more, this ther hand gripping mine, her fingertips digging into my skin. I don't wince. I am too numb to. “I'll make your life here miserable. You will have to sleep with one eye open you cheap slut." I snorted. "Threatening me? Too bad." I wrenched my arm out of her hold and she's surprised I was able to." My boyfriend wantsto live with him, I might just take him up on that offer. That way I may get a good restless night if you know what I mean." I winked and sidestep her.
She reaches out once more, her nails now digging into my upper arm. Are you seriously going to ruin our friendship for him? forgive you if you let him go Avery. We can move past this. just let him go.

I rip my arm out of her hold once more and turn to her with a glare. Do you seriously think I'll choose you over him? Xade has always been my ver life, my best friend and now he is so much more. The mistake was waiting too d*mn long to act upon the feelings I had for him. The mistake was feeling guilty for hurting you and Kyan and not choosing my happiness first."
Her eyes dart death glares sharply atand she opens her mouth to once again respond but the door opens and we both turn to stare at Bianca who looks jittery. Her eyes move between Melissa andin panic. "The dorm monitor is heading this way, someone alerted her of the noise," her eyes move around the mess in the room and she winces. Read Next Story >
