Avery’s pov
I take my phone from Bianca’s hand, my stomach flipping uncasily at the thought of Xade storming ofl. Had he heard everything? Did he pick up on the first few li I told Melissa? Worry sank deep into the pit of my stomach and I stiffen when Melissa let out an amused giggle.
Already trouble in paradise?”
I ignored her words and scrolled through my contacts to call Nade, but after the first ring, he ended the call. My heart sank andnt him at quick text. He doesn’t respond and it feels as if my who again shattering.

In my thoughts. I hadn’t realized the dorm monitor was already in the room. ” Avery!” She gritted, causing me to jerk in surprise. I looked up from the phone to see her frowning. I don’t know what’s going on between you two girls but we don’t tolerate these things around here Clean up this mess as soon as possible and sort out the issues you have with each other as adults.”
Melissa snorted. ” Adults? Sort out our issues? I’ll never forgive her for sleeping with my boyfriend behind my back!”
I whip around. glaring. “He was never your boyfriend Melissa!” I snapped. She flinches, looking frustrated and angry but the dorm monitor once again cuts in before things escalate. “If you two cannot see eye to eye, one of you has to leave and find somewhere else to stay I can talk to the head-”
“No need.” I cut in as I turn to face her with a smile that did not reach my eyes “After today I won’t be living here anymore.”

After the dorm monitor left and warned that she would come back to check if the room was spotlessly clean. I started packing up my stuff. Which was not much seeing as I had to throw out a lot from Melissa’s cruel anger
She’s sitting on her bed quietly while I clean up the mess she had made with my belongings. I didn’t mind, at least it served as a distraction from my racing thoughts of Xade and why he was upset with me. Though I already had a feeling why, I hope he will listen to me.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Now that I see how good it is to be with him and finally put me first, I don’t want to lose what we just started. I could only hope he wouldn’t
turn me away.
Why him?”
I stopped, my fingers brushing one of the blouses she had torn and looked up at her. She had been silently crying judging by her red eyes and snotty nose. ” Do you feel no remorse for what you did? For sleeping with him knowing you had a boyfriend and he was mine?”
I try to not remind her that Xade and her never put a label on what they had, but now that time has gone by and the anger I had toward her for shattering the globe passed, I can’t help but feel pity for her.
She love him, I knew she did. But I love him too, and I can no longer deny it.
I nod, and continue to pick up the ruined clothes and throw them in the trash bag. “I did, at first. I beat myself up for it.” I admitted. “I felt disgusted,” I whispered and looked up to catch her eyes once more. But it’s not in the way you think. I was disgusted that I loved every single second of it. I was disgusted that I wanted more. But if I could go back, I would change a few things.”

I looked at the shattered globe on the floor “I would have broken up with Kvan and would have told you how I felt about Xnde. I would have confessed to him too. I should have actually,” I let out a short laugh “I should have confessed a long time ago.”
“You know you could lie, that would hurt a lot less. You were my friend Avery. I trusted you ” Melissa’s voice cracked.
I return my gaze to her and nod.” You have every right to hate me. But I can’t lie Melissa. I’m done lying.” I smiled softly. “I’m done not being happy. I love him and he makes me happy. He always has. Hate me, hurt me, but I can’t take my heart back from his hand, he has it for eternity. He always had. ”
Funny how it came so easy to me to tell her exactly how I feel about Xade. Perhaps I had just needed this to finally cut the those words back.

She draws in a shaky breath, nods and gets off the bed.” Then I guess we’re done here. Don’t come crawling back to me when he hurts you the way he did me.” With those last words, she walks out of the room, leaving me to clean up the rest of the mess.
An hour later the room was spotless and Melissa had not returned. With my bag packed with the little I had saved from the mess she made with my stuff, I walked out of the dorm with my head held high. Of course, I got stares, many that judged me.
But for once, I felt free. I love Xade and I chose him and me.
When I got to his penthouse Xaden was the one who opened the door. Ile looked at the bag in my hand and offered to hold it.” Where’s Xade?” I nervously looked around for him, hoping to see that he had calmed down from whatever had ticked him off.

But he’s nowhere to be seen and by the wince on Xaden’s face I knew he wasn’t here. “Told me he’ll head to the gym after his run.”
My brows furrowed. “His run?”
Xaden coughed. prying the bag from my hold. “Yeah, uh you know Xade likes to keep up with his workouts before practice. I’ll set that in the room while you go have angry sex with him, that might calm the s*cker down.”
My mouth parts and heat so scorching burns my cheeks.” Xaden!”
He turns around and winks. “Go on ahead little V, make him forgive you.” He turns around to continue his path to the room but stops, and whips back around slowly with a finger in the air. “Might want to eat that niple in the fridge before you go though, I just ght it.”
