"Aiden..." I shake my head, eyes fixed anywhere but the gorgeous man next to me.
His hand grips my chin tightly, just enough to make me avert my eyes to his.
"You know you want this as much as I fucking do. I want you to be mine. I want to be the...

Soft music fills the small space of my car as I speed down street after street. I'm exhausted from all the signing and training I did today at the base, but when Joey, my second man, asked about a drink, I just had to agree. I need alcohol in my system, so we agreed to go to my place. I would drink by myself but the thoughts of Avery would be twice as many if I let that happen.
I need to forget about her. She has a boyfriend and she is happy with that Jagger-guy. And all I want for her is happiness. Don't get me wrong, I want to be the source of her happiness. Bit so far, I haven't succeed much.
I know she feels guilty about the kiss and I don't want that either. I don't want her to feel guilt when she's being with me.
Being with me. I mentally laugh at my own stupidity. We just kissed and I'm a hundred percent sure that her hate for me has gone to another level. I made her cheat on her boyfriend. It's not that I care about what Jessie feels. He can fuck himself for all I care but if he makes her happy, then I should stay out of the way. That doesn't mean I'll give up though.
High school relationships don't usually last. I hope that's the case for the two of them.
"You still have that who's-is that Avery!?" Joey's playful tone changes into a serious one
I look between him and the road ahead, debating whether I heard him right. "What?"
"Pull over," normally I would get pissed the fuck off at someone commanding me, probably punch them too, but when I see Avery's bent over figure on the side walk, I do as he says. I could fucking care less for stopping the car in the middle of the road. She's more important.
The slamming of the car door sounds all over the deserted road.
When I come close enough to see her face, my mouth opens in shock. She has a frightened expression on her beautiful face. New tears stream down her already glistening and puffy cheeks. Her skin is a rosy color but what catches my attention the most is the trembling lip.
I make a move to touch her shoulders but she flinches away. I take a step back as to not invade her personal space. I've done enough of that already. I've already fucker up.
Looking her up and down, I notice her shoes in hands and her bare feet touching the concrete. She's going to get sick.
"Avery, what happened?" I ask concerened. Who made her like this?
Ignoring my question, she drops her bag and shoes to the ground and wraps her small arms around my waist. Taken by surprise, I tense a little and goosebumps rise on every inch of my body. I wrap my own arms around hee shoulders and bring her closer. She lets me.
"What are you doing here?" I ask soothing her hair as she shakes in my arms. She's supposed to be at Summer's.Ten minutes away from this neighbourhood.
