Chapter Eighteen - "Technically We Are Both Breaking In."
___

Avery's P.O.V

“Open this damn door!” I shout, banging my fists on the door repeatedly. I hear footsteps coming closer to the door but I didn’t stop banging on it.

“Okay, okay, calm down!” I hear a certain voice say as the door swings open. I storm through the house and when I practically hear nothing but the television running, I turn to Jake.

“Where is your brother?” I snap, my eyes narrowing at Jake who looks like he just got out of bed.

It's two in the afternoon!

“Which one?” Jake asks and I lick my teeth in annoyance.

“Which one do you think?” I say, clenching my fist. Jake notices this and smirks.

“Oh Logan? He is with Katie at her house.” Jake says and I groan, running my hands down my face. Wow, now I have to figure out where Katie lives.

“Why?” Jake asks and I narrow my eyes at him.

“Because I feel like knocking him senseless with a baseball bat!” I snap and I feel Ryan tug at my hand.

“Avery, I think you should chill.” Ryan says to me and I raise my eyebrow at him.

“I'm calm.” I say, snatching my hand out of Ryan's grip and I wave at Jake, a small sinister smile on my lips.

“Anyway, have a great day.” I say to Jake as I quickly walk out the door. Ryan follows behind me as I get in my car. I tap my fingers on the wheel, thinking about how I am going to find out where Katie lives.

From what I have imagined, she probably lives in one of those big rich houses with a water fountain at the front and large gates sounding the ‘palace’.

I grab my phone and dial Claire. I press the phone to my ear and wait for my best friend to pick up her phone.

“Hello?” I hear Claire say and I sigh, running my hands through my hair.

“Claire, I need a favor. You still have that paper from when we were in year ten and it had everyone’s addresses on it?” I ask and I hear Claire laugh.

Don’t even ask me why Claire has a piece of paper with everyone’s addresses on it. She just told me one day that she somehow got everyone’s addresses and she wrote it on a piece of paper. I know, my best friend is a weird person.

“Yeah of course.” Claire says and I nod, a grin appearing on my face.

“Okay well I need to know where Katie lives.” I say and I picture Claire with a sly grin on her face.

“You going to murder her?” Claire asks and I chuckle.

“Nah, I need to find Logan so I can murder him."

“Wow, this girl has one big house.” I mumble as I park my purple ferrari outside of the large black gates. I hear Ryan chuckle.

“She probably makes secret sex tapes.” Ryan says and I let out a laugh, stepping out of the car.

“Oh my, if you know her like I do, you would not believe how much sense that makes.” I say, still laughing. Ryan nods.

“If only.” Ryan says and I lock my car, standing in front of the large black gates, completely clueless on how I am supposed to get in there.

"Let's just jump the fence." Ryan suggests as he stands beside me. I shake my head, crossing my arms over my chest, taking a good look at Katie's house.

"I have a better idea." I say and Ryan shoots me a grin.

"Go on."

"Fuck, when you said you had an idea, I thought it was going to be driving your car through the fence not climbing a tree. I'm not a monkey!" Ryan says behind me and I laugh, pulling myself up so I am standing on the long branch.

"First off, I am not going to ruin my baby. Secondly, you do smell like a monkey though." I say, a slight grin on my lips and Ryan pulls himself up, laughing a very fake laugh.

"Ha, ha, very funny." Ryan says and I turn to flash him a smile.

"So, what do you think?"

"Of what?"

"Well, you have only been here for a few days and you are already breaking into a house." I say as I walk along the branch quickly and I place my hands on the balcony, boosting myself over the small fence.

"Technically, we are both breaking in but answering your question, I am actually an expert at this." Ryan says, copying my moves as he jumps the fence. We both lean against the wall, breathing slowly.

"You been stalking your ex?" I chuckle and Ryan rolls his eyes.

"No," He says flatly. "I broke into my teachers house because he 'accidentally' took my phone with him." Ryan says and I roll my eyes.

"I'm seriously thinking that you are some creepy stalker." I say and Ryan throws me a grin.

"Like you can talk. You have the address of your enemy and now you are breaking into their house to bash your ex boyfriend." Ryan says and I look at him, winking.

"Technically we are both breaking in." I say and Ryan rolls his eyes before moving off the wall.

"So, what do we do now?" Ryan asks and the small grin that is playing on my lips goes away and a frown appears on my face.

"I actually didn't think I'd get this far." I mumble and Ryan's eyes widen.

"Your kidding."

"Nope." I say, popping the 'p'. Ryan sighs and runs a hand through his hair.

"Fine. I have an idea." Ryan says and I nod, waiting for him to continue.

"I need glass or something sharp." Ryan says and I frown at him.

"Why?" I ask and Ryan points to his arm.

"I'm going to run in and start screaming to get everyone's attention and then you go in, find your ex boyfriend and quickly kill him before we get caught, okay?" Ryan says and I chuckle.

"I don't have glass but I have nails."

"Don't you d-" Ryan cuts himself off as he looks at the window next to me. My eyes widen and he makes his way over to the window. I am about to say 'stop' when he picks up something on the ground.

"Well, luck does come in different shapes and sizes." Ryan says and he looks at the thing in his hand. I frown and make my way over to him, trying to look at the thing he just picked up.

"I think you mean-" My eyes narrow at the thing in Ryan's hand. "Is that ketchup?" I ask and Ryan nods, starting to put the sauce on his arm.

"I guess this will do." Ryan says and all of a sudden, he runs through the door that leads inside of the house and starts screaming as he makes a big scene. I watch as he runs downstairs and Katie's mom and what looks like Katie's father follow Ryan in shock. When I see Katie follow, I quickly run into the room she just came out of and I shut the door behind me, locking it.

I turn around slowly and look at the shocked man who is sitting on the bed. My eyebrows furrow when I see the man under the sheets, obviously naked.

"Who the hell are you?"

●●●

Oh wow, look at that. What a weird chapter, huh? I was going to go on with the chapter but I decided to leave it here. What do you guys think? Where is Logan? Who is the guy? What do you think of Ryan in this chapter?

Lofd - "I was running in circles. I hurt myself, just to find my purpose. Everything was so worthless. I didn't deserve this... but to me you were perfect."
