Jake P. O. V.
In the truck…
I am sitting in the front of the seat staring out the window worried about what is going to happen once Avery finds out we are her mate. Will she accept us or reject us forever? I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding in. But I do know I love this girl and I am going to do the best I can do to make her fall in love with me. What if. No, I thought withholding my chest because I feel like I am going to die. I need her Avery in my life. If I must wait until she can trust us again, so be it. I do anything for her. I would die for her if that’s what she wants me to do. But I hope she doesn’t want that. I thought to my mind. Please, God, don’t let her reject us I asked him with my eyes closed and my head down with my hands in a praying mood.
“Jake?” I lift my head and turn my head and saw Elijah was staring at me with a concerned look on his face. I can see his hurting too because how he knows once Avery finds out, he is her mate too.
“Yeah man,” I replied to him.
“You think she will want us.” I mean her mate?” He asked me with a nervous and broken voice. I sighed and looked in the rear mirror I see Avery’s beautiful peaceful face and she was still asleep thank God, I didn’t want her to us talking about her.
“But we need to tell her man” I heard Elijah said to me.
I let out a sigh and I know he’s right but not, yet I thought to myself but soon.
We kept driving in silence until we heard Avery’s soft movement in the back and we both knew she was getting up and she going to be asking questions why we are acting nice to her and always get angry when another male comes around her and we act like animals.
By the time we made it to her house and there was decoration and servers and food trucks and balloons everywhere by the pool and a big tent with pink and orange, yellow her favorite colors we help buy for her party. I know why her parents would let us well they already know we are her mate and they have been so excited since they found out and our parents.
“Hey! Guys” I heard Mr. Williams say with a smile.
“Hello boys,” Have you seen my baby- “but, before she finished her words Avery was up and behind us rubbing her eyes that when Mrs. Williams said before she saw Avery and pushed us out of the way to get to her daughter.
“Avery!” She said hugging her daughter with a tight grip.
“Where have you been young lady she said with a worried voice.
“Oh, mom, I am fine mom,” Avery said still trying to wake up. But I see in her face she has not been sleeping very well. I need to have a little talk about her getting plenty of rest. She looks like she going to fall asleep right here in front of all of us. Maybe she should go up to her room get some more sleep before her party. She has time to go up there get a couple more sleep before everyone comes. So, I look over at Elijah, I give him a look to help me with Avery up to her bedroom. He nodded his head and we both grabbed her arms after her mom let her go.
“Mr. and Mrs. Williams, will it be alright to take Avery to her room so she can get more sleep before her party?” I didn’t care if they said yes or no. We both pulled Avery away from her parents and we walked inside her house and walked up the stairs and went around the corner we saw her purple and white door. We walked towards it, and I saw Avery yawned and she can barely keep her eyes open.
We walked inside her room and walked her over toward her bed and we both started taking off her shoes and she was trying to stop us, but we kept on taking them off. We both lift her on the bed and put her in the middle and we both laid down next to her. We weren’t going to stay long just make sure she was okay and make sure she fell asleep but what happens next, we didn’t realize we both falling asleep right beside her, and I had her in my arms, and she let out a little moan and I started hearing her little cute snores. That was when I closed my eyes and I already know Elijah was sound asleep. I had a smile on my face and had a tight grip around Avery’s waist and I had my face inside the back of her neck.
Couples hours later…
Avery P. O. V.
Oh, my what a dream I had, I didn’t realize I was in my bed with two strong arms wrapped around me. So, I did whatever a girl would do I screamed and started hitting them everywhere.
“What the- “I didn’t let Jake finish because I was kicking him out of my bed, and I went over to Elijah I started hitting him and I kicked him out of bed.
“What the ugh” he didn’t get to finish his words either, I heard a thump on the floor by Elijah hitting his ass on the floor, I think. But I need them to get out of the room before they do something mean to me like they always did when we were kids.
I licked my lips and sit in bed and grabbed the covers and hide my chest away from their straying eyes.
“Why you in here in my room!” I waited for them to tell me why.
“Leave at once!” I demand them. But I didn’t want to leave but I am not going to tell them that. So, Elijah opens his mouth and said this.
“We wanted to make sure your okay and make sure you got to sleep before your big birthday party princess.” He told me with a sweet manly voice. It sounded like he cared about me? I had to stop dreaming about all three of having a relationship and living happily ever after in a big castle I thought with a roll of my eyes. I know they don’t want me because they told me that all the time. I started crying and I hide my face on my knees and rocked back in forth until I felt the bed move and I didn’t know when they both were on my bed and holding on to in their arms while they let me cry.
“Shh, baby let it out, princess.” I heard Elijah say into my ear and kiss my forehead and I felt him grip me tighter.
“Avery sweetheart, we are so sorry.” We will make it up to you if it takes the rest of our life baby” We will I promise you Avery” I heard Jake say with a serious voice but a little bit of worry in there and he bought my hand up to his lips and he kissed me it.
God, I hope they are telling me the truth because I can’t go through this again with my heart as I did with them when I was little when I started having strong feelings for them. I pray they are telling the truth. If they lie to me and just use me as a joke and treat me like they used to do it will kill me this time.
“I am begging you, please don’t break my heart,” I said with my face inside their chest and it was just a mumble but I hope they didn’t hear me.
