Meeting the bad boys mum
2073 Words
Hailey’s P.O.V
Avery and I pulled up outside his house, heading in
“I apologize in advance. I am not sure how my mum is today if she having a good or a bad day.” he said worried
“It is OK. Don’t worry about Avery.” I smiled
He nodded, leading us inside. We headed into what I assume is the living room…a petite pretty brown headed woman was sitting on the sofa, staring into space.
“Mum.” Avery said softly
“Hello my sweet boy.” She gushed, turning to face us “Oh you brought company…you should have warned me and I would have made an effort.” She said embarrassed turning to me “Sorry you had to meet me in this state.” She said fixing her hair
“Don’t be silly. You look fine, you are very pretty. I see where Avery gets his good looks from.” I smiled
“Thank you.” His mother giggled, relaxing a little
Avery turned to me, giving me a small smile, mouthing thank you and I returned a smile.
“Mum this is Hailey…Hailey my mum Christie.” He said introducing us
“Hailey that is a pretty name. It is nice to meet you.” She smiled sweetly at me, but she looked tired…looked like she has had a lot to deal with in her life which saddened me
“Thank you.” I blushed “You too.” I added
“How do you two know each other? It is not like my son to bring someone here to meet me.” she smiled
“School.” We both said in sync, making Christie laugh
“Oh wait. Avery is this the one you said you were defending yesterday?” she asked
He told his mum that? I guess she asked when she seen his face. So that is why he was fighting with Joshua, cause of me? It was sweet in a way but at the same time it wasn’t cause I don’t want him getting into trouble because of me.
“Yes. I have some macaroni here for you, I will heat it up.” Avery smiled at her
“Thank you son. I will get to know Hailey a little better.” She said smiling sweetly at me
“OK.” He nodded, heading into the kitchen
I went over, sitting down next to Christie on the sofa, Christie soon turning her attention to me
“How is Avery getting on at school? Is he staying out of trouble?” she asked
“He is getting on OK. Yes he seems to be staying out of trouble.” I smiled
“That is good. Are you and Avery friends? Dating?” she asked
“Just friends.” I replied
“Oh that’s a shame. He could do with dating a nice girl like you. I know he doesn’t do that or doesn’t have the time due to having too look after me which saddens me.” she said sadly, feeling guilty
“I am sure he will find a nice girl soon when he is ready. He loves you very much Christie…looking after you is what he wants to do.” I smiled giving her hand a small squeeze
She nodded, giving me a side smile. I could tell it gets to her than Avery is the one looking after her, rather than her looking after him. We chatted with each other until Avery came back with her meal.
“You two not eating?” she asked
“We ate at Hailey’s. I am gonna stay with Hailey tonight cause he parents are out of town. Will you be OK?” He asked
“Yes I will be fine love. I will get a shower then go to bed, very tired today.” She said
“You sure?” he asked, Christie nodding
We stayed with Christie for a bit as he had her meal…Avery cleaning up before Christie went off to bed, before heading back to mine. Avery was being unusually quiet.
“Avery are you OK?” I asked as we drove
“Yes. Thank you for being nice to my mum, not many people are because of her addiction problem.” He said sadly
“She is a nice woman. I really like her. I can tell you have a strong relationship with her.” I smiled
“Yes we do. We have only ever really had each other, we gotta stick together. My father was never in the picture, well he would show up now and again, then disappear again. Not seen him in about five years now I think.” He said, shrugging the last part off
“I am sorry. He clearly doesn’t deserve either of you in his life if that is how he is.” I said
“I guess.” He said, managing a small smile
I got the feeling from him he never wanted to talk about it anymore. I decided to let it drop. A silence falling between us. I could see Avery was away in another world, he seemed to have a lot on his mind. I wanted to reach over, give his hand a supportive squeeze but something told me he wouldn’t like that. I sighed, leaning back in the chair, watching him for a moment. I smiled a little, he was really beautiful, and I couldn’t deny it. I pulled away before I got caught. We pulled up outside the store, heading in, grabbing a basket
“What you fancying?” I asked
“Well.” He started, smirking at me
“Don’t even say it Avery or I will kick your ass.” I giggled
“Fine!” he pouted, walking away from me
I shook my head, laughing before catching up with him. We went up and down all the isles, grabbing anything we fancied from popcorn to chocolate to sweeties etc.…more than we really needed, we would never make our way through all this stuff tonight, well I won’t.
“What now?” he asked
“I think we have enough, don’t you?” I said pointing the basket
“Maybe you are right.” He chuckled
Thank goodness for that, anymore I would have to go rob a bank to pay for the stuff. Once we got to the cash desk we ended up halving in to get the stuff, the best way properly. As we were walking out
“You blew me off for her?” I heard someone hiss
I looked up, seeing Mandy’s best friend Rachel standing, glaring at Avery.
“What if I did?” Avery said, no emotion to his tone
“You promised you would meet me after school, you never showed, all for what? Cause you wanted to hang out with little miss prude there?” she hissed, glaring at me
Great! Another reason for that group to make my life a living hell.
“Sweetie did your mum never tell you not to listen to a bad boy, that lies for a living?” he chuckled “plus I had you yesterday, you were nothing special to be honest. Maybe learn how to f**k right then get back to Me.” he said smugly
I stood there, shocked. I never liked this side of Avery, not one bit.
“f**k you Avery. I hate you, enjoy your little virgin there.” She hissed, flipping her hair before walking away
Avery turned to face me, a blank expression on his face, like he couldn’t care less what he said to her. I can’t stand her but that was harsh. I shook my head, turning from him and walking back to the car, climbing in as soon as he opened it. He climbed in after me
“What the hell is your problem? If looks could kill I would have been dead with the way you looked at Me.” he asked, glaring at me
“The way you spoke to her was disgusting Avery. I can’t stand the girl but that was horrible, I actually felt sorry for her. Is that how you treat girls all the time?” I asked
“Yes, so what? They know what I am like, they come to me. They should know better but they never learn. Hailey I never pretended to be anyone else, you have no right getting mad at me this way.” He said annoyed
“Whatever! Can we go please?” I asked, turning away from him
“Yeah.” He groaned, shaking his head before starting the car
I wasn’t sure if I even wanted his company after that. Is that how he is gonna treat me in the end? Like a play toy? At least I have had the sense not to have s*x with him which I am glad of if that is how he treats the people he is having s*x with. As soon as we pulled up outside my house I climbed out the car, rushing into my house. If he followed or not that was his choice. I dumped the bags in the kitchen before heading into the living room, sitting on the sofa. I sighed, running my hands through my hair, shaking my head.
“Is this how this is gonna be? One minute you are fine with me, talking and laughing then the next you are mad at me?” Avery said, appearing into the living room
“Why do you treat people like that?” I asked, trying to calm my voice
“Cause they let me. Rather them being treated that way than me.” he shrugged
“Is that how you are gonna start treating me? Like crap just cause you can?” I asked
“What? No, of course not.” He said
“Why am I any different from anyone else Avery?” I asked confused
Why treat everyone one way, then treat me the complete opposite way?
“You just are. They are all assholes and bitches that deserve it, you don’t, simple as that.” He said shrugging again
“You are the most confusion human being I have ever met do you know that? You even try treat me like that it will be bye, bye bad boy.” I said raising my brow at him
He chuckled
“That is cause I am one of a kind baby girl.” He winked
I shook my head, giggling. Why could I not stay mad at him for long? He was a jackass, let’s face it we all know that but for some reason I couldn’t stay mad at him…I couldn’t hate him. I knew for my own sanity I should stay away but I never wanted too, I found myself wanting him around even though he is a huge pain in my ass most of the time.
“All forgiving?” he asked, the most dorkiest smile on his face, it was kind of cute
“Maybe, for now anyway. Let’s see how long it takes for you to make me mad again.” I giggled
“I will say maybe a few hours then you will find another reason to get mad at me. I am OK with that though. Now let’s gets this torturous night started.” He laughed “What movies are you planning to torture me with?” he asked
“Hmm, firstly the note book, then Bridget Jones and then lastly for tonight a Cinderella story.” I giggled
“Oh God help me. Let’s get this over with.” He said rolling his eyes
“You are the one that made the bet Avery, no one to blame except yourself.” I said smugly
He rolled his eyes again, falling down on the sofa next to me. I couldn’t wait to torture him with chick flicks…should be a fun night.
