Avery P. O. V.
Twenty. Minutes ago…
What was I thinking showing them how much am a whore I was in front of them. I wanted to dunk down in the water.
After I ran away from the guys that said our mates. I started running away from them going back to my house before my parents see me before my party starts. So, I walk quickly, around the corner I saw my two best friends standing there talking and I can see the sadness on their faces because of what happened earlier when I saw Ashely and Jayson and Natalie and Eli fighting in front of the people that showed up to work as the servers and chef at my birthday party.
“Avery! Sweetheart?” I turn and saw my mother and father standing behind me. I didn’t know they were behind me I thought they are in front of the back door on the patio. When I was staring at my parents I didn’t hear footsteps behind me when I wasn’t paying attention. I was now in front of my parents and they are giving me a worried expression on their face and I felt the heat back behind my neck because I can feel my mates closer. I didn’t want to stand there in front of my parents and they would know I am in heat and the reason why I was in the heat was that I found my mate.
Well, they found me so it’s the other way around. I started to think about how wonderful it will be with them then I thought about how it was before when they hated me and didn’t want anything to do with me. I started crying in front of my parents and them. Before I hit the ground because I didn’t want to stand anymore and I felt dizzy and the emotions in me were overboard. You not good enough for us.” I can hear them saying in my nightmares when I would dream about them bullying me and hated me for not being pretty and being the most popular girl in school. I didn’t want to be the wallflower loser like they always tell me. Now, here we are, as mates. I still don’t believe them and I need to watch my back because I think I am their plot and their jokes. I don’t want to think that but I can’t help it. I should give them a chance to show me they changed but in my heart, I feel they are true with their word they want to be with me forever and they love me. But with my head, I feel like they are lying to me that they want to be with me.
“Avery, sweetheart why are you crying?” I heard my mother say.
But I didn’t want her to know what is going on with me and I didn’t want her to worry about it or me. But that not going to work because well she is my mom and you can’t get past your mother. She will get out of me by watching my face so I bent down my head so she can’t see my eyes.
So, my mom was still standing in front of me and I can feel her eyes on me. So, I thought of a lie and I thought of it quick.
I cleared my throat,
“Mom, I am not crying, I got something in my eye. I told her while showing her I did have something in my eye by rubbing it. When I ent my head up and started at my mom and I can see she not buying it that I am lying about not crying and being upset. So, I gave her a little sweet smile and went started talking about my party and thanking them for throwing it for me. Then my mom stared at me and then she looked at my father and went back to me and I can see the look in her eyes. She is telling me with her eyes we will talk about this later and then she went back to her sweet and smiling mother I love so well and no my mother is not mean to me she is just so protective of her family. After we had to a special event she looked over my shoulder and so the guys. She gives confused and then looked at my father and I saw his face and it was white as a sheet and he was seamless because he was very quiet. Then I saw my father light up when he saw it was his best friend’s son are in front of me outside my house. You can see their wet and look out of breath. Then I saw it. I saw the look in their eyes that they wanted me and they didn’t care who was in the way. If they are going to get me, I better make sure I am not alone with them again.
“Okay, sweetheart! After you go get dressed.” She said with a sweet smile and kissed my cheek and looked at them again before she whispered in my ear.
“I’ll let you alone, and remember you got a party coming on.” She tells me. She grabs daddy’s arm and pushed him away close to the tables getting things ready for my party. Once my parents walked away and left me alone with the guys supposed to be my mate and want to be with me. I am still trying to understand why them Lord? I asked God, and they say God has a soulmate out there for, but you never know he or they been under your nose the whole time. So, I am praying they’re not joking and it’s not a stupid bet, and if it is. If they using me for a laugh. I will never forget them that breaks my heart, and I will not let them hurt me again.
