Avery's P.O.V

"Why didn't you tell me your dad was texting you!" So first he ignores me and then expects me to let him know the intimate details of what’s happening with my life at the moment? I see him scroll on my phone reading the previous text messages from my dad.

"How long have you been in contact with him?" Harry's face is scrunched up in confusion as he reads over the text messages.

"I've never answered him Harry. He's just been texting me saying how much he wants to see me and that he still loves me." I try explaining the situation to him but he is so consumed in the messages on my phone, that I don't think any of my words are sinking in.

"You dads a fucking idiot." He states.

"No need to remind me."

"He's such a fucking idiot! Who does he think he is sending you messages like these?! After what you told me I don't even understand why this guy wants to be a part of your life after he's done-"

"HEY! I know that he's a bad guy and I hate him for what he did but that doesn’t give you the right to rage at someone you don't know. I'm the only one allowed to do that, not you!"

"Sorry" He mumbles. I shake my head and pack up my books grab my bag and head straight for the door. I hear his footsteps close behind me.

"Avery! Avery, wait I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that." I feel his large hand wrap around my upper arm tugging me back to him.

"It's fine Harry, I just think that I should go home." I step forward again but am pulled back once more by his grip on my arm.

"Well I'm not letting you walk home alone when it's dark outside. I'll drive you." I watch as he walks over to the side table next to the front door and grabs his keys, I walk over to the door just as he's opening it. He stands to the side and allows me to pass, I hear the door shut and Harry's foot steps behind me once more. I approach the car and get in. I look out the front of the car as Harry walks in front with an annoyed look on his face, he opens his door and slams it shut. I watch as he puts the key in and the car roars to life, he pulls onto the road and we are away passing all of these houses. Most of houses have fences around the front and beautiful looking homes.

"So when did he start to get in contact with you." I look at Harry and then back out to the window, finding the scenery around me more interesting.

"The last night of camp." I mumble; as soon as the words leave my mouth I feel his eyes on me but they quickly fall back on the road.

"Why didn't you tell me at camp?" I can tell by the tone in his voice that his frustration towards me is growing the more that he finds out.

"I don't know, I-I was just getting a headache from thinking about it and I-I just didn't want to bring it up again." Even talking about it now is starting to give me a headache, I notice that we are almost at my house and with a couple more seconds the car is parked outside my house. Harry stiffens in his seat and grips the steering wheel tighter.

"So when did you want to-" But I can't finish my sentence before Harry interrupts me.

"I'll text you about it later."

"Ok." I quickly take off my seatbelt and open the car door. I walk up to my front and look through my bag before pulling out my key. When I put the key in the door I hear a screeching of tyres, I turn around and see Harry driving off down the street. I shake my head and step inside the house. It's only seven o'clock and I know that Mum will be out late tonight, but it's still quiet, really quiet. I walk past the kitchen and notice a white envelope on the counter.

Avery,
I don't know if you remember me telling you this but I'm going out tonight, I won’t be home till very late so don't wait up for me. Get good night’s sleep for school tomorrow and I will see you in the morning.
Love Mum. Xx

I place the letter back onto the counter and head to my room; I open my door and let my bag slid down my arm and drop to the floor. I know Harry didn't yell at me or anything like that but I can't get his words out of my mind.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

How does he expect me to tell him when he ignores me? I shake all of the thoughts out of my head and make my way to the bathroom. I turn the water on and strip down; I test the temperature of the water before stepping into the shower and having the relaxing water flow down my body. I scrub away at my skin with the soap; I close my eyes and let the aroma fill my nose. I stand under the hot water for a couple more minutes before washing away the soap and drying off with a towel, I walk back to my room with the towel wrapped around my body and change into some baggy sweats and a top. I walk out into the kitchen and fix myself a little something for dinner.

--------------------------------------------

I toss and turn in my bed unable to go to sleep. I roll over and look at my clock 3:59am. Great, only four more hours until I actually need to be up. A loud thud nocks me out of my thoughts followed by another. I can hear the floorboards throughout the house creek and my worry starts to set in. I clutch onto the sheets tighter but hear the floorboards creek once more. I slip out of bed and slowly walk over to the door; it opens with a slight creek. Shit, why does it have to creek now? I peek my head out the door and find my Mum stumbling around the house...with a man...the same one I saw the other day that had her pined up against the wall doing; things to her. I watch as he helps her up the stairs to her room, constantly losing her footing and relying on his strength to get the both of them up the stairs. I shut my door and return to my bed hoping to get some sleep.

*Next Morning*

I'm sitting at the kitchen counter eating a piece of toast when I see someone out of the corner of my eye, walking down the stairs. I don't think that he's noticed me sitting here yet, I munch down on my toast faster hoping that I can manage to get myself out of this situation before what I presume would be a very awkward conversation. The man looks up and his face holds an extremely startled reaction.

"Um h-hi, I'm John. Nice to finally meet you." He says in a shaky voice.

"I know that our first greeting wasn’t the best, but I just want you to know that I do care about your Mother." He's standing at the end of the stairs dressed in one of my Fathers old robes. His pale skin is a contrasting colour to the deep blue, his dark hair is ruffled and his blue eyes piercing into my own. He walks closer to me making me realise that he is fairly tall, but I get up from my chair after taking the last bite of my toast hoping to end this conversation as quickly as possible.

"Listen I don’t really want to go back and relive old memories that should never be brought back up. I've got to go to school anyway. Bye." I never thought I would be so happy in my life to use going to school as ann excuse to get me out of something. I drag myself down the hall grab my bag and use my sliding door to exit the house; I don't think going back past the kitchen with John still there would be a good idea.

*Last period of school*

Harry's P.O.V

"Don't forget to get started on your assignment on Venus and Adonis. I know that you kids leave everything to the last minute but trust me if you get this one done early and don't leave it to the last minute and rush it, then it is more likely that you will get a better mark." Mr Mathew has been rambling on about this fucking assignment for most of the lesson. After a couple more minutes the bell finally goes, I pack up my things and exit the room. I feel a pair of arms latch onto my right arm. I look down and see Bec smiling up at me, I look back in front of me and continue walking until I feel her tug my arm stopping my movements.

"Hey I thought that if you want we could maybe...do some stuff, just you and me." She whispers in my ear. I feel her fingertips brush against my crotch; I remove her hand and walk away from her. I see her figure rush up beside me.

"What's up with you?" She whines in a high voice.

"Maybe I just don't feel like fucking you today ok?" I walk out the front of the doors, looking for Avery. She was supposed to meet me here so I can take her back to my place and do the rest of this assignment. I look around and I still can't see her anywhere.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" Avery? I walk down the steps and see her body thrashing around in a man's hold. His hand is tightly squeezing her arm pulling her along and trying to get her into his car.

"DON'T BE DIFFICULT AVERY!" I rush over to her, as I approach I see her tear stained cheeks and quivering bottom lip and she desperately tries to get the man’s hold off of her.
