Negative Law Of Attraction

Chapter 35

"Everything that's happened and will happen is too dangerous for you" My foot that was pressed down on the pedal relaxed and our bumper car stopped. I didn't feel relaxed though, I felt tensed up. Obviously my hands tensed since I soon realised I was clenching the wheel.

"I know" She whispered as she looked back at me. Tears fell from her eyes and kept spilling out. I took a hand off the wheel and wiped the tears off her face. My hand lingered there as I leaned in. She took in a sharp breath and I kissed her cheek, sort of like a fair well, although our talk wasn't over.

I leaned back. "But the only way you're going to be safe is-" She cut me off. Her eyes were tinged red.

"If we break up" Avery finished in a low voice. Yeah, she was definitely thinking what I was thinking.

"Yeah" I nodded. My jaw clenched because I didn't want to break up with her. I wanted her in my life.

"We're over aren't we?" She asked. I slightly flinched at her words, those words spoken in her voice would haunt me forever.

"I'm sorry but it's the only way" I stopped. "If every person knows we're together and want to kill me, finds out we not together, they won't go after you anymore, they'll just go after me" It was true. When I had a relationship with Kelly nothing happened to her. When I was with Jean, things would've happened if we were in the same situation because I did love her. But this was Avery and I was going to protect her, something I failed to do with Jean.

She shook her head. "Austin, I don't want you to get hurt" She put a hand on my cheek and I immediately felt the warmth transfer onto my skin. I could've said that I would be in the similar sort of trouble but for a different situation if she weren't in my life, but she didn't need to know that. Just like she didn't know a lot of the things I did. Which is another reason why I should break up with her, I don't tell people things, I do things when ever I wanted to.

I needed to end this conversation before I crack and take everything I said, back. "I never should of made you fall for me" I pulled her hand away from my face and saw it fall back onto her lap. I got out of the car and walked away. My own eyes grew slightly watery, but I never cried. I didn't look back at her because I didn't want to see what her expression would look like.

Don't be surprised about the fact that I don't want to stick around the fair any longer. Would you? I got straight into my Skyline and put all my frustration into the speed I reached in driving. When I got home, the front lights were on and the door was unlocked.

"Hey Austin" My mother had a cheery face on. She didn't know anything about the life I had, or the life that my father had.

"Hey mum" I tried my best to put on a smile, but I felt horrible.

"What's wrong? You look like you just witnessed a death"

"What's that meant to look like?" I asked.

"A mixture between being scared, sad and in shock" She answered as she walked over to me. Exactly how I felt.

"I broke up with Avery" I answered. She was my mum and I told her things, because she was someone I trusted.

Her face grew from cheery to shock and she hit the back of my head with her hand. "What the hell did you do that for? I knew she wasn't one of those girls you used to bring home and she was actually nice! She would be a perfect daughter in-law and Avery was someone I could have a conversation with!" She almost yelled as she put one hand on her hip and pointed an accusing finger at my face.

"Mum it was 5 months! We broke up before things got serious, and it was better for her, trust me I didn't want to break up with her but she couldn't go out with a boy like me" I shook my head.
