"That must've been hard..."i trail off not knowing what to say.
Sharing deep stories like this wasn't really my.. Element. It wouldn't be that hard to tell. I can barely share anything about me so someone sharing something about them is foreign to me.
"It really was. So, I just hope that you can talk to me anytime about anything." she says. I lift my head slightly to look up at her and see that she has a sincere smile.
"I'll keep that in mind." I say looking back down.
"Have you told the boys yet?" she asks, referring to why I was here.
I shake my head slightly. "No."
"Well, I hope you do so soon. I've noticed there's a bit of a tension between you guys. Especially Eli and Damon." she says.
"How do you know?"
"I've been a mom of six children for years. It'd be weird if I didn't know." she's says with a small chuckle. Even though she worked quite a lot she was very alert to what was going on.
"Well you're right anyways." I sigh.
"It's ok. They'll come around as soon as they get used to having you here. I know it." She said it so surely it almost made me beleive her. It made me hope that it could actually come true, but hope is fake.
You could spend every single day of your life hoping for so many things that will never happen. You'd waste every ounce of your energy on hope just for it to stab you in the back.
"I don't think so." I say clenching my jaw.
"Well I do." she says and I push away from her with angry eyes.
"Hope isn't real you know. Just like like wishes and it's ironic that people say to be careful what you wish for because it'll never come true." I start getting angry at myself, remembering how I'd always wish and hope for life to be different.
"Hey, sweetheart its OK. I understand." she says holding my face in her small hands.
"But it's not ok. I'm not OK." I cry.
She doesn't say anything but pull me into a hug. She runs her fingers through my long hair as I cry.
"Everything will be fine. You'll be fine. Don't cry, sweetheart." she says and I slowly fall asleep to her calming words.

The next few days go by quietly with nothing much happening. All the boys were cautious around me as though they could trigger me if they did anything.
"Yo Avery." Camryn calls from beside me. I look at him without responding.
He puts his hand over his heart and starts whinging. "Ouch. Are you giving me the silent treatment."
I ignore him and get my books for my next classes. The bell for lunch had just gone off and I was really hungry. Camryn pestering me wasn't helping at all.
"Well OK then, since you're not talking to me I'll take your silence as a yes to hang out later." he says with a smug smile.
"No." I say walking towards the cafeteria.
"Aww. Why not?" He whines and starts shaking my arm.
I pull my arm from his grasp and pull his ear and he groans. "Cause I said no."
"O-OK let me go. It hurts." he says groaning and I let go of him.
He rubs his ear that had turned red from how hard I pulled it and I almost smile at how funny he looked. Almost.
"Bye." I say as I enter the cafeteria and towards my friends.
"Hey. Come on, I'll even tell you why I left." he says swinging his arm round my shoulder.
"Really?" I turn to him seriously.
I shrugs his shoulder with a winks at me. "Maybe."
I roll my eyes ignoring him praying that'd he'd go away by the time I reached the table i usually sat at with my friends.
He doesn't.
"Hey Avery. Who's the new addition?" Veronica asks with a suggestive smile.
"Nothing. He's just being annoying." I say.
"Ouch again, Avey. You really have a knack for hurting my feelings. One day you'll be begging for my undivided attention." he says with confidant smirk.
Again I roll my eyes but I feel the heat rising to my cheeks and instinctively put my hands on my checks to cover it.
"Ohhhh. She's blushing." Marcus teases with a tight smile.
"I'm not." I glare.
"Yes you are. I think Avery has a-" Faith begins but I quickly slap my hand over her mouth to stop her from saying what I'm sure she was about to say.
Elena, Veronica and Faith share a look between each other then look at me as though talking to me through their eyes.
I understood what they were trying to get at but shake my head as I didnt want to talk about it right now with listening ears all around. I take my hand off her mouth.
"What I meant to say is Avery might be a bit warm. Since she has a large jumper on you know." Faith nervously laughs glancing around.
Her eyes then widen as she looks behind me and she opens her mouth but before she can say anything Camryn is pushed off the seat beside me and onto the floor.
"Dude what the hell." Camryn glares at Eli.
Everything then goes quiet in the cafeteria as everybody watches the commotion.
"I told you to stay away from my sister didn't I?" He yells.
"She's not your-" Then Damon comes out of nowhere grabbing him by the collar and punching him in the face.
Gasps errupt everywhere around the room and in astounded not knowing what to do.
Camryn quickly recovers from the punch and punches him back and Damon falls over to the side with a thud and Camryn gets on top of him continuously punching Damon and his nose starts bleeding.
Then two guys I recognise as Camryns friends punch Eli and there's a full blown fight taking place right in front of me.
A group of teachers come in and have to pull them all away from each other as no amount of telling them to stop would work.
"OK everyone get to class early." A teacher says and everyone starts going to class gossiping about what just happened.
"Uhm what the hell?" Elena says still shocked by what just happened, as we walk to class.
"What the hell indeed." Veronica agrees.
"Why do they hate him so much?" Faith asks with her hand on her chin thinking of it deeply.
"Maybe it's because of what happened a few years ago or because they don't like the fact that he's probably you're favourite." Veronica guesses.
"I don't think it's jealousy." Elena says dismissing her guess.
"I don't think so either." I say. Not that I didn't think so but I know so. They've hated me from the start so why get jealous now.
"Do they know that you guys were friends before? Maybe if they did they would leave him alone." Veronica asks.
"No they don't. Well, only Will and Sheila." I respond.
"Will? As in the older chef brother?" Faith asks excitedly.
"Yes that one." I say giving her a weird look to which she just shrugs.
"I never knew you liked older people." Elena says wriggling her brows. She begins teasing her and Veronica laughs.
"Speaking of, what was that about earlier on?" Veronica asks when she stops laughing.
My eyes widen rembering and I quickly look away. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Yeah she's right. What was that?" Elena asks when she and faith stop their squabbling.
Not knowing what to do I start walking away with my hands on my ears. "La la la la la. I can't hear you."
They then walk faster speaking louder and louder in between laughs trying to get an answer from me.
