Chapter Thirty Three - "Act Like A Child."
___

Avery's P.O.V

"She's in here? But this classroom hasn't been used ever since the fire?" I ask Joshua and Joshua nods, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Thats why it's a good place to be because the teachers won't suspect a thing." Joshua says and I nod, raising my hand up to the door handle. Joshua waves at me before walking off and I just ignore him, not bothering that he isn't coming in with me.

I turn the door handle and push the door open, looking at the figure that stood at the old wooden desk in front of the classroom. I look at Jade and Chance, narrowing my eyes at the scene.

"Avery? Well, it's so good to see you again." Chance comments as I walk into the room. I close the door behind me and ignore Chance, walking towards Jade who is placing a white powder in front of her.

Cocaine.

Jade looks up at me and smiles. "Hey sis, whats up?" Jade asks casually and I frown at her.

"You know why I'm here." I say and Jade looks down at the powder before smirking up at me.

"You want drugs?" She asks and I shake my head, placing my hands on the desk. Jade raises her eyebrow and looks at me with a confused expression on her face. "What then?"

"Don't hurt Katie." I say and Jade smirks, bringing out the pocket knife that Logan mentioned before. I look at it as she swings it around in her hand.

"Avery, you must know something about me. You mess with family, you mess with me. The fact that I have already told you that Katie deserves what's coming should be enough for you to give up and let me do what I do best." Jade says, looking at the pocket knife. I suck in a sharp breath when Jade points the knife at me.

"And what is that?" I ask carefully and Jade grins, switching the blade to a much more sharper and longer one.

"Let me just say four words." Jade says, standing up from her chair. I don't move at all when she walks behind me. She moves my hair away from my ear and breathes against my neck, sending chills throughout my whole body.

"I enjoy killing people." Jade says and I turn around, the memories of everything that Joshua told me popping back into my mind. I look at her, keeping my face blank as Jade flips the blade to the one she had before and she kept doing this, a small smirk on her lips.

"Why?" I choke out and Jade shrugs.

"I don't know but I only kill the people who have done me wrong." Jade says and I think back to our cousin and to the lady that Jade lived with for nine years or something like that. What did they do?

"But Katie hasn't done anything bad to you." I mumble and Jade nods.

"Thats true but like I said before, you mess with family, you mess with me." Jade says and I throw my hands in the air, looking at Jade with my eyes wide.

"That doesn't mean you have to kill her!" I shout and Jade shrugs.

"I have to do what's best." Jade says and I grit my teeth before groaning.

"Whatever Jade, I'm not responsible for your actions. You get in trouble, it's your own fault. I'm not being dragged into this." I say and before I can walk out, Jade grabs my hand.

"Oh but you are." Jade smirks and I snatch my hand away from her. I glare at her and cross my arms over my chest.

"No, Jade, no. I said no." I say and Jade looks at the blade in her hand and swings it around her finger. I gulp.

She wouldn't hurt me?

For fuck sake, she killed her own Aunty, my brain reminds me and I mentally slap myself. Of course.

"I'm not going to force you, Avery but when the time comes and you need my help, I'm not helping you at all. Remember that." Jade says and I nod, walking out the door. I close the door behind me and let out a sigh.

Don't worry, everything will be fine, my brain says to me and I roll my eyes, not really knowing anything at this point. I'm so confused and worried.

She better not touch Katie.

"Where did you go?" Claire asks and I walk up to her, not saying a word and just wrap my arms around her.

"Whats wrong?" Claire asks and I let out a sigh.

"Everything." I say and before Claire could say anything, I see Logan come into view and I let go of Claire, looking at Logan who has a pissed off look on his face.

"Hey." I greet and Logan nods. I notice that his hands are by his sides, clenching tightly like he is trying to hold himself back from punching someone.

"Okay well I have to take a call so I'll see you later, Avery." Claire says and I nod. She walks off into the cafeteria and I look back at Logan who is glaring at something behind me. I turn around again to see Chance walking past with Jade and Patrick by his side. I quickly turn back around and narrow my eyes at Logan, trying to figure him out.

"Whats wrong?" I ask and Logan licks his teeth before grabbing my hand and pulling me outside of the building and we walk to the tree that is near the corner of the school fence. This spot is usually where people truant because no one could see you because of the branches.

We sit down and I look at Logan. "Are you going to tell me?" I ask and Logan sighs, shaking his head.

"I'm sorry, Avery. I've just been stressed out about everything with Chance and shit." Logan says and I nod, grabbing his hands.

"Well, you have nothing to worry about because I'm with you, not him." I smile at Logan and he nods, flashing me a smile. Suddenly, he lifts me up and places me on top of him so I am straddling him. I look at Logan with a grin.

"What are you doing?" I ask and Logan smirks.

"Nothing." Logan sings and I roll my eyes before placing my hands on either side of his head. I lay down on him and kiss him softly, smiling as Logan kisses me back. He licks my bottom lip, asking for entrance and I happily let his tongue slide into my mouth, dancing with mine. I let out a soft moan when Logan's hands run down my back, cupping my ass and making me grind myself on him.

"Your such a bad boy." I say, pulling away from Logan and he smirks.

"You wouldn't like me any other way though." Logan winks and I nod, kissing his soft lips again but before anything could happen after that, my phone beeps and I sigh, pulling out my phone.

Mom: Come home after school. I need to talk to you about something important.

Me: Yeah okay.

"Who was that?" Logan asks and I place my phone in my pocket.

"My mom. She wants me home straight after school since she needs to talk to me about something." I say and Logan nods. Logan sits up and I wrap my arms around his neck.

"Can I ask you something?" I ask and Logan nods.

"Why did Ebony come into the picture so suddenly?" I ask and Logan shrugs.

"I dont know. Why?" Logan asks and I sigh, nodding.

"Okay." I say and Logan raises his eyebrows and I shake my head, waving him off. "Honestly, I don't even know why I asked."

"So you just decided to bring her up and then forget why you asked? That makes total sense." Logan rolls his eyes and I frown at him.

"Whats up your ass?" I ask and Logan shrugs. He doesn't answer me and I narrow my eyes at him, waving my hand in front of his face. When he doesn't answer me again, I get off him and fix my hair, begining to walk off. Logan calls my name and I roll my eyes.

"Oh so now you want to talk?" I mutter under my breath. I walk into the building and go find Claire but I bump into someone's back, making me stumble back in shock.

"Sorry." I mumble when the person starts to turn around and I immediately bite my lip. "I take it back." I say and Patrick looks at me and nods, turning back around to continue looking through his locker. I walk down the hallway and walk into the cafeteria, immediately noticing Claire by the sound of her voice and how the table that she is sitting at is right in front of me. I walk over to her and sit next to her.

"Hey, what happened? You look pissed?" Claire asks, resting a hand on my shoulder and I shrug.

"I'm fine." I mumble and Claire sighs, deciding not to pressure me. I notice Ebony is sitting in front of me and I wave at her and she smiles, looking back at her phone. I notice that the doors of the cafeteria open and I immediately look away when I see that it is Logan.

Logan walks to the table and crouches down beside me, looking into my eyes but I don't look at him. "Avery, please, let me explain-"

"You should've explained before." I say and Logan grits his teeth.

"Your acting ridiculous-"

"Your one to talk." I mumble, cutting him off once again. Logan stands up and bangs his fist on the table, catching the attention of Ebony, Claire and I.

"Could you not?" Claire says, narrowing her eyes at Logan and he flips her the finger before looking at me.

"One last chance." Logan says and I look away from him, taking a chip into my mouth as I look at Ebony as she watches a video on her phone. Logan groans and runs his hand through his hair.

"Whatever Avery. Act like a child." Logan says before storming out of the cafeteria. I feel my heart clench at his words and I hold myself back from running after him. I couldn't.

I feel Claire's eyes burn into the side of my head and I let out a frustrated groan. I place my hands on my face and shake my head.

I always have to make things so complicated, don't I?
