BREAKING ASHER'S HEART // CURRENTLY EDITING

CHAPTER 19

AVERY'S POINT OF VIEW
It has been about a month since Asher's crash, and he was pretty much all better, but that didn't stop me for worrying. Honestly things have never been worse.

My mom is even starting to pack up the house. I have been at Asher's house more than ever. I have been taking care of him, and he has been taking care of me. I usually end up sleeping there.

Right now I am laying in my empty room. We planed to leave in a week, and I have never been so torn. It has been about two months and I was already about to leave. I couldn't help but let the tears roll down my face, I had cried too much in a lifetime.

My step dad came rushing through the door with a smile on his face. He knew what was going on, but he was over my mom. I looked up at him, and he could tell that I have been crying.

"Avery, I know everything going on with your mother is horrible, but I might have an idea. Of course you don't have to say yes." smiled my dad.

I nodded letting him know to continue, I wasn't able to speck. "Your... mother agreed to letting me adopt you." he said softly.

I felt my eyes go wide, I shot up from my bed and and came running to him. I gave him the biggest huge. I couldn't help but think that things might get better. I might be able to live a normal life.

"We will make it official Monday?" asked my dad.

"Your my hero." I said hugging him again. "I want to be your daughter as soon as possible." I said making him smile.

"There is just one thing I better tell you." I sighed I have only ever told this to Asher. Thinking about Asher reminded me that I was going to be able to tell him about all of this. "You know the man the mom is leaving you for?" I asked, and he nodded. "That man is the man who raped me." I said leaving my father speechless.

"A rapist has walked through my home, you mother was willing to take him back." He said, and I nodded.

"Avery, nothing you did is your fault. You have lived a shitty life, and I really do hope I can make it at least a little better," he said starting to hug me.

ASHER'S POINT OF VIEW

I sighed as I pulled my car into Avery's driveway, we planed to go to the park. It was our last week hanging out, she got into the car, she was smiling, but you could tell she has been crying.

"Is everything okay?" I asked knowing the answer. Life is so bad for her right now.

I saw a real smile curl up on her lips, I haven't seen one in a really long time.

"Asher I have good news." laughed Avery. A sudden thought came to me, what if her flight is delayed, or she's staying for another two weeks. I nodded telling her to continue.

"I'I not leaving Asher," Avery cheered, "you're stuck with me.. forever."

I felt my face go numb from excitement. "Avery, oh my fuck, Avery."

I quietly opened my car door, running to the other side. She opened hers and we met halfway.

I hugged her, I hugged her so tightly, I was so great full.

"Avery, this can go back to normal. Our biggest concerns can now be so insignificant now that our lives are normal." I cheered.

Avery laughed/cried into my chest. Pushed her back slightly by the shoulders.

"Why are you crying?" I asked concerned.

"No, it's just-, no. I don't want to ruin the happy mood," sighed Avery running her hands through her hair.

"Avery, tell me," I ordered, tightness in my chest.

"Well the reason I'm staying here is because my step dad is going to adopt me, meaning my mother agreed to it,"

I nodded, signaling for her to go on. I knew what she was going to stay.

"Like I new she never loved me, and I'd much rather be here with you. It just hurt the way she gave me away like that. It just kinda sucks," explained Avery.

"It really sucks," I said pulling her into another hug, "I'm here for you, always."
