Avery’s pov
I’ve been watching the plain walls for what felt like hours as tears soaked the pillow under me. Xaden is behind me, staring at my back since I had refused to even look at him.
“Little V.” he sighed for what must have been the tenth time since he came back in the room despite me telling him not to.
“Are you going to stay mad at me forever?” He whispered softly. “Xade is okay Avery. He’ll be….back.”
tear my eyes off the wall and the sheets rustle under me as I turn around. He flinched at the sight of my tears. “He’ll ck?” I murmured under my breath in doubt. “How can I trust your words when you won’t tell me what’s really going on?”
I saw his expression, he’s contemplating his words, which lets me know he has no intentions of telling me what I want to hear. Being in the dark feels like a void. I hate it.
“Don’t you think I deserve to know what’s happening to my boyfriend Xaden? He just up and left when I need him the most?” My voice cracked as my lower lip tremble. I can still feel Kyan’s fingers around my neck, his hand on my hip. The pressure. The feeling on defeat.

His soft pleasing voice made me sigh in defeat. “It’s for my own good. right?” I asked sarcastically, turning on my back to stare up at the ceiling. Flashing lights. It feels as if I’m under a microscope.
“Yes.” he utters. “It’s for your own good.”
I nod, letting the stray tear roll down to my hairline and disappear under my waves. “Can you, can you at least tell me what happened? Who saved me from Kyan? Did he-did he get there in time?”
There’s a pause in the room and for a minute I thought he’d not respond or lie. But he shocks me when he mumbled. “Yes. Xade was the one who found you. The one who saved you from getting more hurt.”
all I needed to know. That he saved me. But for what price? must have gotten bad if now he wasn’t here. Xade wasn’t one to e me when I needed him the most. Something was going on, that
uch was clear.
Would I ever know? Would he ever tell me? I doubt he would.
“Tell me Xaden, did he kill Kyan? Is he on the run from the cops? Is he in trouble?” My words shook with emotion. If Xade was on the run from the cops, it would be bad. Is that why the headmaster said he may never return?Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Xaden scoffed. “Kill, he honestly should have.” he said bitterly. “But no, he didn’t. Things just got a little complicated….”

won’t come or the school ever again and Xade is safe. That’s all you need to know right now Avery. I can’t- I can’t tell you more than that.”
He looks at me in pity and I gripped the sheets, turning my head away.

“Right, because it’s for my own good When am I getting out of here? I want to go home.”
Home. At Xade’s Where he isn’t here, but his scent is. I want to cling to everything him until he returns….he must return.
“They should do one last check up and you’re free to leave after that I believe. I should give you a heads up that our mom is on her way there. and our dad will come to visit anytime soon…”
I looked back at him sharply. “So something bad really did happen to Xade!” I accused, rising into a sitting position and pointing an angry finger at Xaden. “Tell me Xaden. Should I expect the worst?”

I narrowed my eyes angrily at him, gripped the pillow chind n flung it toward him. It smacks him across the back of his head.

“Why won’t you tell me godda*mit!” I yelled in frustration. “Answer me Xaden. Should I expect the worst?”
Come on Xaden, please answer me. Give me something to cling on to, something to give me hope. Something. Anything. Please.
He whips around, his face irritated. “Because I don’t know Avery! I can’t answer because I don’t know!” His words made my heart sink and as he left the room, I couldn’t help but think that the answer was yes. I should expect the worst.
