Avery’s pov
His words weighed in the air, clogging up my airways until my breaths came in those short pants like last night. I swallowed, looking at him until his vision blurred. I was going to cry. I knew it. I was such a crybaby.
His eyes soften and he looks like he is about to approach me and of course hold me like he usually does whenever I am sad, but I shook my head and whispered. “What do you mean, Xade?”
His eyes, so blue, so warm, so stunning and beautiful pin me down until I felt as if I am naked under him again. “I mean, it’s not that simple for things to go back to how it had been between us V.”
Why is he using that nickname he had given me when he’s giving me bad news? I swallowed harshly, trying to simmer down my rising panic.
Was I losing him? Was I going to lose him? The tears fell.
It had been your idea to forget about it!” I hissed, now sitting with my legs crossed under me and pointing an accusing finger at his chest. ” To pretend it never happened. You were the one who suggested it!” I accused angrily, practically spitting at him. I didn’t care that my voice. was loud too.
Xade and I never fought. We never argued and this was one of the best. things about our friendship. If I was upset by his choices, I’d tell him and he’d do things to make me feel better, the same goes for me. We never had an issue.
Until now.
Unfortunately, this was a big issue and I was terrified this would cause a huge rift between us that we would never be able to overcome. How can friends go back to being friends after they’ve f*cked each other brains out like we had done last night?
His jaw ticked and those blue swirls darkened as a look of frustration crossed through his eyes. ” For f*ck sakes V, I had been inside you last night, your f*cking blood had been around my cock.”
I flinched and his eyes soften. ” You were the one who f*cking suggested-
“I know what I suggested,” he seethed and began to pace, running his fingers through his unruly blonde hair. “But it’s not that easy to go back to how things were V. Not when I had taken your virginity last night.”
My heart sank in my stomach and I let out a painful sob.
This was my fault. The damage had already been done. I should have known it was too good to be true to just act like nothing happened. I should have known.
V,” he whispered, his voice coating with dread. I shook my head and glared at him. “Don’t call me that! Not when you’re ruining our friendship.” I snapped, feeling my chest weigh with each word that pass my lips.
I didn’t want to lose this, this protected feeling Xade always invoked in me. I didn’t want to lose Xade. He was, I swallowed. All I have.
A sob shook me and his eyes drop to my chest, he cursed and closed. his eyes, burying his fingers in his hair. “I am not ruining-

The door suddenly opens, causing Xade to rethink his words and abruptly stopped when we saw that it was Kyan who had stepped into. the room. I quickly reached for the plan b box and the pain reliever medication and swiftly push them back into the small brown paper bag, hoping Kyan had not seen.
I don’t think he had since his surprised eyes were on Xade. He closed the door softly behind him, his dark eyes sweeping from Xade to me and his brows lifted. “What’s going on here with you two?”
I noticed how Xade’s jaw ticked and he fisted his hands at his sides as though he was trying to suppress his anger. Was he angry at me or Kyan?
His pretty blues briefly came across mine before he responded bluntly.
Nothing, we were just talking.”
Kyan clearly didn’t buy into that bullshit and crossed his arms, trying to seem intimidating but no one can even come close to intimidating. Xade. “Didn’t sound or look like anything to me. She’s crying,” he nudged his chin in my direction, narrowing his eyes on Xade. “You’ve clearly upset her man, what the hell is going on?”
I lifted my hands to my face and wiped my tears. I needed to get my act together and pretend everything was okay if I wanted things to go back. to normal and fix this between Xade and me.
I’m just pmsing.” I lied, gaining Kyan’s attention. ” Mother nature you know.” I gave an awkward smile and I am relieved when Kyan’s stiff shoulders relaxed a bit in understanding. Xade spared me a glance, one of his brows arched up in that ‘really‘ look.
If anyone knew my menstrual cycle it would be Xade. He would always buy me chocolates and binge TV shows with me during that period. He definitely knew I was lying. Thankfully, Kyan had never

paid attention to my cycles enough and didn’t know I currently was lying through my teeth.
Kyan walked over to me and sat on the bed, his hands going in my hair to push the wild strands away from my face. We both jumped when we heard a very wild dangerous sound come from Xade. It was a combination of an animal hiss and a growl.
But before we could question him, Xade marched to the door, swung it open, and stepped out, slamming the door behind him and causing it to shake. A little again and he would have torn it right off its hinges.
I gaped. Even Kyan looked confused. “What’s his problem? Are you sure it’s nothing?”
I avoid Kyan’s eyes and cleared my throat. “I think he and Mel had a bit of issues earlier. It’s nothing. Just probably needs to cool off. “I lied and I deserved an award for the world’s biggest liar.
Kyan hummed. “Maybe that would explain why he’s been pissy from morning. Last night he barely caught sleep. Kept twisting and turning.
As Kyan rumbles on about Xade’s confusing attitude, I reach for my phone and text him quickly.
Avery: I’m sorry Xade. Can we talk please? I don’t want to lose you as a
friend.
I waited. It showed that he had seen the message. But he never replied.
