The Point of No Return {sequel to The Arbitrary life of Avery Blake [teacher]}8

I went to his room and realized the door was open. I peeked around the corner and didn’t understand what I was seeing so I completely opened the door and stood in the doorway as in front of me, lying in the middle of the room was my father with a gun in his hand. Blood was everywhere.

I screamed and screamed and screamed for what felt like forever until we started getting complaints and the police came and you could image the shock they got with the scene displayed for them.

Life got that much more complicated when my father committed suicide. I couldn’t forgive him for leaving me with this terrible, bitter person that was meant to be my mother and what’s worse is that she got worse and worse until she began to never speak and I rarely saw her. I didn’t know if she was always in her room or just if she was never home… but either way I was left without a mother and father.

And you can see how that made me turn out like I am. It’s not that I’m a bitch and I’m hateful but I need that attention that I lacked getting when I was a child. And there was also the fact that I couldn’t get attached to people, I was always distant and I don’t think anyone knew the real me.

And as for my mother in current times you ask? I haven’t spoken to her since I finished high school as I went straight to university, doing anything I could to avoid her for the rest of my life and I knew this was the only way.

She could be dead right now, in hospital or even turned mental and I wouldn’t know a thing.

But I couldn’t care less about my cow of a mother or my selfish father… I had the present to worry about and my future to work on.

I was just glad that Avery hadn’t come into the family when she was meant to… it would have ruined everything for her. Somehow I think getting raped and bashed would be better than being born into a loveless family, living with the weight of our parent’s hatred for as long as we live.

So you see, I had my reasons and Avery and Cole can hate me all they want; the whole world can hate me all they want but life is stupid, worthless and pointless and I couldn’t have asked for things to turn out better than they have (in the end result that is).

Cole Ford’s POV

Tuesday morning came as I got up off my bed and went to my closet to find clothes before heading to the shower.

After 15 minutes, I was out of the shower and changed. I let out a satisfied sigh as I watched Avery sleep soundlessly in my bed.

She had had a rough day yesterday with the whole Kimberly issue again. I was honestly sick of her and her crap. Didn’t she know all the things Avery had been through?

I softly kissed Avery on the forehead and she stirred the slightest bit. I took my essentials with me as I gently shut the Cabin door behind me.

I watched as all my students took a seat at their seats as it was now first period.

My British accent sounded through the classroom. ‘Class, since end of semester, two week holidays will be on in around two weeks and most of this semester has been practical lessons, we will be doing a bit of theory work. Take out your music booklets and attempt to answer questions from page 2-3 and then make sure you have a great understanding of the way music changed from 1950’s to our modern times.’ I concluded as I waked over and sat at my desk.

‘I’d also like to see Mr Jones after class.’ I added, not even looking his way.

I finally managed to look up and I realized Meghann was eagerly talking to Avery and Ivy whilst they were attempting to do their work. Avery didn’t seem like she was fully there but tried to concentrate on Meghann’s words but her life’s dramas were getting in the way.
