//Flashback//

"I'm sorry." I told my dad.

"How many times have I said this Avery?" He asked me.

"Why can't you get this through your head? Why can't you do this right?" He yelled at me, tears slipped down my cheeks. We had just got done with softball practice and it went terrible. I didn't hit a single ball and I missed every ball thrown to me.

"Work harder! Be better!" He yelled.

"I'm trying dad! I'm sorry!" I yelled back, more tears falling down my face. I couldn't catch my breath I was crying so hard.

"Breathe. Calm down." My dad said.

"I.Can't." I said, gasping for air.

Avery's POV

My eyes fluttered open. They landed on a puffy eyed and tear stained Jc. I tried to move back, but I hit my head on the headboard in the process.

"Ow." I said, rubbing the back of my head. He got up from the bed and went to the bathroom. I heard water running, then footsteps walking back into the room. He sat back down on the bed, holding a washrag in his left hand.

"Lay down, angel." He said. I did as told, giving him a confused look when he called me angel. Even though I was mad as hell at him, my heart still fluttered at the name.

"Here. This will make your head feel better." He said, placing the cold washrag in my forehead and handing me 2 tylenol.

"Thanks." I whispered, I took them. Then there was an awkward silence. We looked back and forth at each other. I was dying to tell him off, but I just couldn't. I know if I had the chance to hurt him like he hurt me, I wouldn't take it.

"I'm sorry, Avery.." He said, one single tear falling down his face. I didn't know what to say. I was at a loss for words.

"Don't worry about." I said. He looked at me and stood up like he was mad.

"Why are you acting like this is okay? I screwed up! Why aren't you getting angry?" He said. A tear fell down my cheek. He yelled at me. He knows I don't like being yelled at. His face softened and he sat back down.

"I'm sorry I yelled Avery." He said, more tears falling down my cheeks. I just back away from him.

"I-it's o-okay-y." I stuttered out, tears still falling.

"Are you mad at me?" I asked him.

"No. No of course not baby girl, why would I be?" He asked.

"Because I'm not what you wanted." I said. He looked at me with so much sadness.

"What have I done?" He asked himself, putting his hands in his face.

"It's okay Jc. Really." I said.

"No it's not." He said.

"I screwed up..So bad." He said.

"I hate myself." He said.

"Don't say things like that. You should love yourself. Millions of girls love you, including me. You're pretty great Jc." I said.

"No I'm not. I'm terrible. I took you, a beautiful girl with an extremely fragile, angelic soul and crushed it. I'm so sorry Avery." He said.

"When I found out Jc.." I started to say, staring up at the ceiling.

"Crushed was an understatement." I said, looking back down at him.

"I was never ready for you to leave, Jc." I said, looking him in the eyes as mine welled with tears.

"I felt like you were leaving me again and I just..couldn't handle that." I said.

"I wasn't ready to leave either. Even after I was gone." He said.

"I'd never leave you again Avery. I have you back now, I can't loose you twice." He said.

"Then why did you do this Jc?" I asked him.

"I don't know Avery. Old feelings mixed with new feelings. I got confused, but now I know what I want. I want you Avery..I'm sorry. I'm sorry I hurt you. I'm sorry I did what I did, but I still love you with all my heart.." He said, his mouth curling into a smile.

"What about Lia?" I said.

"I told her to piss off, then kicked her and told her to never come back about an hour ago." I smiled and laughed a little.

"I love you Jc.." I said.

"I love you too Avery." He said, giving me a hug.
