The Point of No Return {sequel to The Arbitrary life of Avery Blake [teacher]}11

‘Is it someone i-I know?’ she hesitantly asked.

‘Yes, now please Avery.’ I begged.

Her expression went into one of confusion. ‘Someone I know…’ she trailed.

She looked me in the eye as I held her gaze for what must have been a couple of minutes before she nodded in defeat and walked away.

I let out a heavy sigh. This could not be good. What was I doing?

I was going to make it up to Avery and I was going to have to do everything in my power to get Kimberly to get over herself and do the right thing.

Sure, it sounded easy enough…

Kimberly Fletcher’s POV

I set out for a walk as there was just enough light left for a decent stroll. My whole body was weak with being constantly indoors as I had a bad cough. I guess it was only a one day thing as I hadn’t coughed in a while.

‘Ahh Kimberly, jus the person I wanted to see.’ said a slightly familiar voice as I approached a silhouette shape hidden by the shading trees.

I let out a sigh as there was no way of avoiding this.

‘What do you want Naomi?’ I frustratingly asked as I stopped in front of her. Naomi straightened herself so that her whole body became visible.

‘I just had another session with Avery.’ She said, trying to sound nonchalant.

‘And you wanted to tell me all her dirty little secrets.’ I smirked with fake amusement.

And then I was on the ground, holding my cheek with both my hands.

‘Wha-‘ I tried to ask in astonishment that Naomi had slapped me; kind of reminding me of when I had slapped Avery.

‘I have never met someone as selfish and egoistic as you! You don’t give a damn about Avery and her suffering. No, just as long as Kimberly Fletcher is young, blonde and beautiful. You-‘ I cut her blabber off. ‘-Stop! You don’t know anything about me… or Avery.-‘ I said as I got to my feet and tried to stand proud ‘-Do you think that me being Avery’s “long lost sister”, showing up at the school Avery has been attending for god knows how long is a coincidence? Or for some sort of sick, self-pleasure? No! I came here to try and get to know her! I came here to learn more about her and maybe eventually tell her who I was. I’ve been acting like a bitch to her because it’s the only way I know how! I’m not used to feeling like this or having anyone close to me. But I’m glad my mother didn’t want Avery or else she would have had an even worse life then she ended up having.’ I exclaimed but then whispered the last part.

Naomi’s eyes softened ‘Then tell her.’ She whispered.

I hung my head as a tear passed my cheek and wet my neck. ‘I can’t.’

‘It’s OK to be scared Kimberly.’

‘I’m not scared.’ I said as I whipped my eyes with the back of my hand and straightened myself.

‘You know you have to tell her.’ She said truthfully.

‘I know.’

‘Then why not just tell her then?’

‘Because the girl hates me! She would probably laugh at me and call it a joke. But I don’t blame her; I’ve done everything in my power to make her hate me.’ I said truthfully.

‘Well you know what to do then don’t you?’ she asked.

‘Yeah, yeah I do.’
