Avery
"A - a -and then he kept going on about how I've cheated on him! But I haven't! You should know that, of all people!" I sob to Leo, soon after Will had left. Leo just shrugs and looks down.
"How are you not showing though V? You've kept me up to date with your life since I first met you...The only person that you've told me that you've been with is Will." Leo states, looking me in the eyes. I shake my head my curls whipping around my face frantically, leaving droplets on my face a neck from my recent shower.
"I don't know! I don't fucking know!" I practically scream at him.
"Maybe...maybe you're not pregnant..." Leo states slowly. I shake my head.
"No. I have to be. I took the test. I've been puking like crazy. I have to be." I begin saying frantically. Leo gets up from his stool facing the kitchen island and hugs me tightly.
"V...Calm down. Please. Just listen to me for a sec. Its possible that...after receiving the pregnancy test, you were so caught up in what was stated that...well..." He pulled away from me and smiled. "Maybe you're not pregnant after all." Leo says grinning. I nod uncertain for a second. And then...it makes sense.
"So...i'm not pre-" Before I can finish, the doorbell rings frantically. Now who the hell could that be? Will usually waits a few days to approach me after an argument, and my parents are on a cruise to Alaska. Not only that, but its raining heavily outside, and i'm sure that i've heard thunder more than once since slamming the door.
"Do you want me to get it?" Leo asks, looking towards the double doors of the wing he's been living in, as if they were the front doors. I shake my head.
"Nah. Nothing I can't handle." I say with a small smile. Before I can pull away from his arms, he embraces me tightly before kissing me on the forehead once.
"You're strong Avery. Even if you are pregnant, you'll find a way to handle it. But honestly...at the moment, i'm pretty sure that you aren't." He pulls away and begins walking out of the kitchen. " I'm getting to sleep. Holler if you need anything, or just come into my bed for a cuddle session. 'Night V." He says, walks out of the other side of the kitchen. I sigh and head towards the main wing to where the front doors are. As soon as I open the door a large figure rushes into my house and i'm about to scream until he turns towards me, and I gasp.
"Dyl Dyl!" I scream and lunge myself at him. He grunts once I hit him but hugs me tightly.
"Hey Avery!" He says pulling away and smiling widely, his blue gray eyes looking at me with love. He looks me up and down and whistles. "Wowza ! Somebody has obviously grown out!" He says joking. I slap his arm with a bashful smile.
"Oh shut up you perv!" I laugh gleefully as I slap his arm playfully.
"Hmmm," He says, looking me up and down. "But you'll always be short stuff to me." He says, and stick out his tongue. Before I can come up with a witty retort I hear a scream from the upstairs landing and then suddenly Kristin is clambering downstairs loudly in nothing but her lacy bra and panties, and then suddenly she's in her brothers' arms.
"Oh Dilly! Oh mein Gott, warum bist du hier! Ich habe dich so verdammt viel verpasst! Wie konnten Sie Cambridge verlassen? Wollen Sie nicht in Schwierigkeiten zu bringen? Oh mein Gott ich weiß nicht einmal egal, ich habe gerade verpasst dank!" Kristin yells in fluent german.
"I'll be fine Kris. I was just worried about you. I'm so sorry that I wasn't there when mom and dad forced you over here! I would've gotten a larger apartment and let you continue school over in England. I'm so sorry." Dylan looks as if he's going to cry and buries himself into his sister neck and shoulder crevice. She combs her hands through her brothers sopping wet blond hair and sighs.
"Its cool bro. I've made new friends. I'll be fine. You can return onto the next plane back to England now, if you need to." At that Dylan rolls his eyes.
"I'm not going back to Cambridge blume." He says calling her the pet name he's had for her since she was born. Kristins mouth gapes open in shock.
"B-b-but you have to! You only have a month left!"She exclaims at him. He shrugs his broad shoulders nonchallantly.
"I'll be finishing my under grad and getting my masters over here. In law. And i'll be moving in here with you. Just to keep watch because you know how much I worry. I'll have most of my classes during the weekend and at night so i'll also be getting a job." He says with a self satisfied smile. Kristin seems to be at a loss for words so I decide to speak up.
"Anywhere in mind?" I ask him, crossing my arms. He nods excitedly.
"Yeah! I'll be teaching the economics and german and french class at your school. It'll be great." He says cheerfully. I sigh.
"Thats awesome Dyl. When do you start?"" I ask.
"Tomorrow. While on the plane here I made a lesson plan for the next six months and as soon as I landed I emailed it to your principal. She loves me." Probably because you have the looks of a german male model, I want to say, but he looks so eager and happy I just can't. I just sigh again.
"Let me go ahead and set a room up for you." I say, and tug a still shocked Kristin and Dylan upstairs with me.
