《One of Us》Chapter 58

Avery's head was resting against Justin's back as he drove them through the city and wasn't paying attention to where they were going. She was lost in her own thoughts about what she was going to say to the people who did this to her. She held onto Justin tightly and he could tell that there was something about how she was holding him that he knew the next stop he was going to make was something she desperately needed.
He pulled into the parking lot and turned off the bike. Avery hadn't moved yet and Justin patted her hand, "Hey Baby, you ok?"
Avery was startled a little and looked up at his turned head, "Yeah, I'm ok."
Justin wasn't convinced but got off the bike and helped her off too. He took her helmet and placed both of theirs on the bike seat. Avery finally looked around and was confused about their location.
"Why are we here?" She asked.
Justin took her hand and kissed it, "You need to see that everything is ok."
Justin ushered her inside and up the elevator. They walked down the hallway and walked into a room at the end. He saw her hesitate and all but pushed her through the door. She gasped when she saw him and ran to him and threw her arms around him.
"Oh Cole!" She sobbed and hugged him.
"Hey Avs, I'm ok," Cole promised, hugging her back. Justin just watched and smiled a little at their connection. If he wasn't sure that Avery loved him deeply, he might have been jealous. But he knew better and acted more like brother and sister than anything else. It was like the relationship she had with Luca and Matteo. He was just glad that there were so many people that loved her and looked out for her.

Avery pulled back and started checking him over, "Are you sure? Do you have any pain?"
Justin chuckled and Cole looked to him for help and he just shrugged.
Cole cleared his throat, "I'm fine Avery, I promise. So good in fact that they are letting me go home tomorrow."
"Oh, that's wonderful! I can come over-" Avery started.
"No," Cole stopped her.
"What?" Avery asked, looking hurt.
"Avery, you need to be at home resting and recovering. Nina is going to be with me to help take care of me and my mom is going to be coming over every day too," Cole explained, "You need to be with Lexi, she is going to need you and Kiki told me about your little secret. You need to be thinking about him or her and not me."
Avery looked at him and saw the insistence on his face. She sighed and sat back on the bed, "Are you sure?"
"Absolutely. You need to rest," Cole sternly said.
"Can I visit at all?" Avery asked, still a little hurt.
"Of course! But not for a few days. I will text you when I am settled and you can come over," Cole smiled.
Avery felt better once she realized that he was just looking out for her and the baby and not doing to be mean, "Ok, that sounds like a plan."
"So, what kind of car is Justin getting you?" Cole asked slyly, making Justin laugh and Avery roll her eyes.

Until I Met You
UNEDITEDAfter violating campus rules and committing student misconduct, twenty-three-year-old Warren Ashford is deep trouble and at risk of losing his volleyball scholarship -- the one thing he truly values other than his bad boy reputation, and his family. There's only one way Warren can salvage the scholarship that's giving him a free ride through university and that involved keeping his lifestyle low-key. Meaning, no partying at clubs on Friday nights and no late-night hookups with random girls. No fun. Just him, his education, and volleyball. Oh -- and the high-strung, sassy girl with the deepest brown eyes he's ever seen.The moment she walks into his dorm room -- the same room she's staying in because of a glitch in the computer system -- he wants nothing more than to strip her down both physically and mentally. Not only is she immune to boys like Warren, but she makes it obvious that she's not interested in having any kind of relationship with the campus' star athlete. Warren likes the challenge, but little does he know that Nova Elliot, behind her spitfire attitude and deep brown eyes, is still nursing a broken heart and a past full of despair. The last thing she wants is to hand her heart over to a boy like Warren Ashford (who has a faultless smoulder) -- the kind that only ends up breaking hearts after toying with them. But as the winter semester passes and the heat of summer arrives, Warren's bad boy charm begins to crack Nova's structurally built walls as the two of them head out on an unforgettable trip to Halifax.

8 92Artemis
"Let them go, Dante." I whip my head to see a small boy standing the clearing with blonde hair and a green cloak hanging from shoulders. He isn't very tall however he holds his stance well. He doesn't seem to be more than Cassandra's age. Maybe 12 at most. I abruptly turn my head back hearing the man holding a sword to my throat chuckling with a sinister grin. "Oh, poor boy, what are you go to do about it?" The yellow teeth gleam as he begins stalking towards the boy who does not look the least bit fazed. I look around at the other men who are following the leader. I pull Cassandra tighter to my back as I take small steps back. I keep my eye trained on the men but also fear for the naive boy. "Do you really want to test me Dante?" He asks raising a single eyebrow. For a minute the men stop their movements. I see their hesitation for fear... Fear of what? I take the moment to stick Cassandra behind a nearby tree. She crouches down while I pull my sword out from its place. "How do you know my name?" The scoundrel raises his sword challenging towards the boy before taking a final step towards him. Then the unexpected happens. The young boy chuckles so darkly. It sounded almost... demonic. All the men instinctively raise their swords. "Oh Dante, I didn't know your name... but you know someone dear to me." "Spit it out boy!" The once grinning man is now looking around frantically. I continue my eyes scanning the small boy. He looks directly me and gives me a small nod before saying one word that caused all hell to breaks loose. "Artemis." Artemis is not an ordinary girl. She grew up in the wilderness after being shunned due to unique abilities and her different physical attributes. Blessed with an ability that scared others, she roams the wild with only her guarded one. That is until she stumbles into a situation that brings her in front of a prince.
