The Point of No Return {sequel to The Arbitrary life of Avery Blake [teacher]}

‘Then when we were heading to the teacher’s dorm as she had told me she was feeling ill… because of the situation with you… she informed me you had called her a –slut. But we are not to speak of that right now… maybe another time though. Anyway, she began to make her flirting more and more obvious and I was just trying to be nice and ignore it. And… then… she… kissed me. I swear I pushed her off straight away, I’m sorry you had to see it. As soon as I did push her off, I heard you scream. And I knew it was you as I could recognise your voice anywhere. I immediately ran to find you… but I was too late… again. Why do I always do this to you Avery? I’m always too darn late! And I hate myself for it!’ I said the last part in gritted teeth. I closed my eyes as I inhaled and exhaled deeply but also sharply.

My hand shot up quickly as I felt a tear make its way down my cheek. I wiped it away quickly before I opened my eyes.

My eyes fell onto Avery straight away as I saw the pain in her face. I also noticed the heavy flow of tears making their way down her red cheeks quickly. But, as for her, she didn’t try and wipe them away; she stayed perfectly still; looking straight at me.

Her beauty showed in everything she did. Even when she was crying, she looked like a goddess. She then shut her eyes as she was heavily in thought. Her mouth opened to say something but then, suddenly, the door opened and the doctor came in.

‘Cole, I would like you to leave Avery and I to have a chat. I have to quickly speak with you before I speak with Avery. You may wait outside if you wish. But as soon as I am done with Avery, I wish for her to try and get some rest so there is no more talking to her for the day; understand?’ Dr Greene asked.

I nodded politely at her before I spoke ‘Avery… I’ll leave you now but um… I just wanted to tell you I’m sorry and I’ll give you time to think… bye.’ I spoke the last part in an almost whisper as I turned around and went out the door, leaving my beloved in the room, hurt and pained.

Dr Greene met me outside after a couple of seconds. ‘Look Cole, I’ll make this quick. But, I just wanted to share my concerns with you… I understand you are her teacher, am I not correct?’ she asked.

My eyes widened in shock as I knew where this was going ‘No, no… you are correct.’ I responded.

‘I thought so… so what exactly are you doing here Cole? Is there a family or friendly relationship here I am unaware of? You have been constantly at her side for the past 3 weeks and I really do not understand. I am hoping though that it is nothing unappropriated I am not aware of… this girl has been through so much and from what I have heard, this is your doing, no?’

Oh god, I thought.

‘I promise to you Dr that it is only a professional relationship between us, nothing more, nothing less. And y-yes it kind of is…’ I said feeling ashamed.

‘OK… I’m glad –for the first part- but you do not need to explain to me how exactly you managed that but I will be watching you Cole… please do not disappoint.’ She stated before walking back into the room.

I was left, opened mouthed in the hallway.

Avery Blake’s P.O.V         

I watched him walk out the door, taking my heart with him. I honestly didn’t know what to think or to believe, but I obviously believed him… if that makes sense.

I wanted to believe him, and I did but… could I trust this not happening anymore? Could I trust turning my back and risking that horrid witch taking him once again?

The doctor was back in the room momentarily.

‘Now Avery, you have been in a coma for 3 weeks.-‘she stated as my heart dropped ‘-And I don’t want you to panic though. But luckily you have only missed a week off school as I have been informed that whilst you have unfortunately been in a coma, the rest of the school was on break. Now, moving on from that point, I have also been informed that a month or two ago, you had been proscribed to Anti-Depressants. Now did you take them?’ she asked.
