henry had never been more nervous in his entire life. as his green eyes scanned avery’s expression, trying to gauge her reaction and imagine what her response would be, he realized just how deep into this he was. if the girl said no, he was going to be crushed — the realization that someone else had that much power over him was scary, but for some reason he trusted avery with his life. his grin was spread from ear to ear when avery said he already was her home, and he wrapped his own arms around her protectively, burying his nose into her pretty blonde hair as he took a deep, relieved breath. “god, you don’t know how nervous i’ve been about this.” henry admitted, a low chuckling leaving his throat. “i… i really wanted you to say yes. i think we’re gonna have a good life here, kitten.” the male pressed his lips to the top of her head, smiling softly. “come on, tell me what are your plans with this place.” henry broke their hug apart and pulled avery to the floor with him, laying down first and spreading his arm so she could rest her head on it. “it’s all yours to decorate and shit, i don’t care. i want you to be happy here and i’m sure i will too.”

"did you honestly think i would say no?” avery smiled, kissing his lips quickly. “i am sure you know by now that i would do anything for you.” as soon as they were laying on the floor in the center of the empty apartment, avery rested her hand on his chest. “i’ve never had my own space.” she admitted, though she was positive at this point that henry already knew that. “i’m so excited. honestly, we could just live like this with no furniture and i’d be happy.” a giggle passed her lips and she sighed contently. “but we should probably get some, maybe we can look this weekend?” the walls were blank and avery already couldn’t wait to cover them in memories, memories of her and henry. this was going to be their home now, this was a symbol of their relationship. “but if i am going to live here with you, i am going to help with the rent.” she looked over at him. “how much is the deposit? i can give you some right now, i’ve got it in my purse.” something told the girl that her boyfriend was going to tell her no but she would fight until he agreed. the last thing she wanted to do was make him provide for her. besides, she made enough to afford half of the rent.

henry couldn’t stop himself from grinning widely when avery said it was ‘perfect’ — he knew it was far from it, but if avery liked it that much, he was surely signing the papers, whether she agreed to actually move in with him or not. “yeah, it could use a good painting and i have some money saved up to buy the furniture, but… i don’t know. it could be a good place to live.” at her question, the male wrapped his arms around her waist, smiling down at the blonde. “i can… but under one condition,” he started. “do you see yourself living here?” he held his breath, nervous about her response. before she could say anything though, henry went on. “i know it’s crazy, and i know we haven’t been together that long, but… look, i… i want to be with you here. i want to wake up and see your face everyday… i want to get to know your habits, to kiss you goodnight, to cook for you and even do the annoying shit like go grocery shopping and pay the bills.” henry bit the inside of his cheek, his green eyes nervously moving from avery’s blue ones to her lips, trying to gauge her reaction. “i want this to be your home. i want to be your home. what do you think?”

nodding, avery took another look around. “i think it would be great. and i could help you paint, i think... i’ve never painted before but how hard could it be?” she laughed, and her eyes fell back on henry. “what?” her eyebrow arched and she tilted her head as he spoke. a smile couldn’t help but creep onto her face when he talked about wanting her to live with him and although it was soon and sudden, their whole relationship was moving fast and although it scared her- she had also never felt more right about anything in the entire world. so what if somewhere down the line it all crashed and burned in their faces, they were living in the present. avery hadn’t even realized that her eyes were tearing up until the first tear plunged down her cheek. “really?” she reached up and wiped her eyes. even when avery had a place to live, before her mom threw her out; she had never had a home. a home was suppose to be a safe place, a home is suppose to be somewhere you feel loved.... and that was henry. “you already are my home.” she confessed, wrapping her arms around him and burying her face into his chest. after composing herself a bit more, she nodded.

standing outside of the building, henry ran a hand through his curly hair to try and calm himself down. for some reason, he was nervous — very nervous. he wanted avery to like this place, to visualize herself living there. today was the day that he was going to ask avery to move in with him, and that was still a surprise; the two of them had been dating for not longer than a month now, and well, henry had been in new york for only bit longer than that. but he needed to get himself a place to live and, hell, he knew that avery needed that too. although the girl had been spending a lot of nights with him at the motel, henry knew this was different, and maybe they were moving too fast, maybe he was keeping his hopes too high… but now it was too late to go back. he was insanely in love with that girl. “oh!” henry was snapped back to reality when avery ran into his arms, and he kissed her back with a wide grin on his face. “i was just thinking about you…” he mumbled softly, wrapping an arm over her shoulders as he pushed the front door open for them to get in the building. “umm, yeah… it’s not that great, i know, but the apartment is quite nice and i can actually pay for it.” he shrugged, leading the way up the stairs to the third floor where the apartment was. the landlord had given him the keys so he could bring avery to check it out before he made a decision, so he fished them out of his pocket quickly to open the door and let avery in first. “wait, let me… let me open the courtains.” he said as soon they were inside, rushing to do as he said and let some light into the empty room. “this is the living room, there are two bedrooms and one bathroom. the kitchen is over there and… that’s pretty much it. what do you think?”

avery grinned, glad to know that henry had been thinking about her. avery followed him into the building, looking around at the setting. “hey, who cares if it’s not anything special.. it’s still a place to live.” she laced her fingers with his as they walked. once henry unlocked the door, she stepped in and smiled. her eyes followed henry to the curtains and she giggled. “i think it’s perfect.” she told him once she had taken a look around. it was quite roomy and it was surprisingly nice. sure the neighborhood wasn’t the greatest but not many places in new york were. “i like it babe. and once you move some furniture in, i think it could be super homey.” she turned to him, wrapping her arms around him. “but it doesn’t matter what i think... it’s your place. can you see yourself living here?” she looked up at him with a smile, admiring him. sure avery was probably going to spend a lot of time there with henry but it wasn’t her decision to make. she would go absolutely anywhere that henry was.

as soon as school had let out, avery hopped on the subway and made her way to the address henry had sent her. she payed close attention to the stops and as soon as she got to the right one, the girl flew out of the train car and up the stairs. she couldn’t even begin to explain how excited she was to see henry again, even though it hadn’t been long at all. she turned the corner quickly and saw her boyfriend standing outside of an apartment building, waiting for her. avery grinned and ran to him. “i don’t think i ever ran so fast.... hi” she laughed, catching her breath before placing a kiss on his lips. “what are we doing here?” she looked up at the old rundown apartment. “is this the place you’ve been looking at?” avery was glad that henry was looking for a place so that he wouldn’t have to live out of a suitcase in some motel. it made the idea of a future with him seem a lot more realistic, he was making the official move... or at least until his rent contract was up.

with the loud sounds of their mixed moans, the bed banging against the wall and avery’s pants as she came undone, henry followed her right after, gripping tightly onto her waist as he removed himself from her, getting rid of the condom quickly before he fell back on the mattress beside her, still shaking from head to toe. “bloody hell.” it was all he managed to say before he started laughing, turning on his side to face avery. “you… you’re good at distracting me.” henry nodded his head, leaning to steal a quick kiss from the blonde before he fell back on the mattress again. “you do know that you’re still going to study, don’t you?” henry sat up quickly, getting his used t-shirt from the floor and handing it to avery so she would put it on. “come on. now.”

avery smirked at henry’s remark, it was so british of him and that always drove her wild. avery flipped over to lay on her stomach so she could admire her boyfriend, giggling and shrugging her shoulders. “i didn’t distract you henry. you were the one that threw yourself at me, remember?” she reminded him, leaning down to kiss her lips. avery groaned but listened to henry, she put on his shirt and grabbed her books, plopping them onto the bed. the rest of the night was spent studying and laughing, and avery for once was enjoying her school work. something about henry being there to guide her threw it made it seem a bit less like a chore. avery ended up spending the night again, curled up in henry’s arms and there was no place that she’d rather be. before leaving for school the next morning she placed kisses all over henry’s face and promised him she’d be back and for the first time ever, she meant it.

henry was unable to hold back the smirk that was spread across his face when avery crawled over to him, kissing him and telling him to ‘remind her’ of how good she could be fucked. he was surprised for a short moment when the blonde pulled him on top of her again, but instead of giving what she was asking him to, henry pulled back and pulled her along with him, flipping her small frame over with ease. “get on your hands and knees for me,” he said in a firm tone that left no room for argument. as soon she did that, henry started spreading kisses down the bare skin of her back, moving his fingers in between her legs, teasing her folds and rubbing her clit. his movements were quick, making sure to bring avery really close to falling apart before he completely ceased any friction. he bit his lip to keep from making any sound as he guided his member into her entrance and pushed inside deep, roughly. “don’t… tease me… anymore.” henry mumbled in between pants, his breathing heavy as he fucked avery senseless, rough and fast, making the bed bang against the wall and their skins smack with each movement.

it didn’t take long for avery to regret teasing henry because now she was the one being teased and wow, henry was good at it. on all fours, she was basically trembling and whimpering but the last thing she would ever do was admit to henry that she sorry for messing with him. the second that he thrusted into her, avery’s arms nearly gave out - completely overwhelmed with pleasure. “f-fuck henry...” her voice was faint, a near whisper. henry was right, no one had ever fucked avery like this and it was ridiculous. she had never in her life felt such a rush of adrenaline. not only was henry the only person who had ever made love to avery, but he could fuck her senselessly - he gave her the best of both worlds. her hands clutched onto the sheets of the bed and her body began to give out on her. “oh my god.” she panted, her breathing becoming more and more unsteady. it wasn’t before too long that she was collapsing onto the bed, completely spent.

henry let out a loud groan of frustration when avery removed herself from his lap, making him desperate to have her back around him. “don’t do that…” he said in a soft plead, green eyes growing wide when avery started jerking him off — as sexy as the girl looked doing that, he didn’t want to finish like that, not when he could be fucking her senseless. the male sat up a bit, using his arms to prop himself up, and pressed his lips to hers in a sequence of short, sweet kisses. “c’mon, babe… you know i can fuck you really good if you let me… you know i can make you cum harder than anyone could ever do.” he grabbed onto her waist, pulling her into the direction of his throbbing erection again. “please, ave.”

avery smirked, happy that she had gotten what she wanted out of henry. even if he was just doing it because he knew that she wanted him to, it was enough. when henry sat up she bit her lip, trying her best to hide any sign of amusement. “i don’t know ... maybe you should remind me.” she shrugged. crawling cack closer to him and kissing him. she rubbed her core against his dick and smirked as she kissed down his neck. “alright, since you said please.” she quickly switched their position, pulling henry onto her and handed over the dominance to him. “remind me just how good you can fuck me.’

henry didn’t mind one bit when he felt avery’s teeth on his skin, her lips sucking dark purple hickeys whenever they went. he sucked in a deep breath when his girlfriend picked up the pace of her movements, digging his short nails into the soft skin of her hips, helping her to move. “yes, fuck… i do, babe…” but then avery slowed down painfully, lifting her hips in a teasing manner that made him want to punch something. “d-don’t fucking tease me, avery.” he growled deep in his throat, squeezing her hips harshly; surely she would have some bruises there later, but he could apologize some other time. henry held her in place moving his hands to her behind and slammed his hips up into her again once, rough and hard, before he decided to humor the blonde. “please, babe… don’t do this.”

avery couldn’t help but let out a moan when henry slammed his hips up but she frowned. “hey!” her eyebrows furrowed and as punishment she raised herself off of him completely, sitting back on his thighs and just staring at him. she was not gonna let him have his way that easily. although it was absolutely killing her, the teasing was worth it because she knew just how badly henry wanted her, how badly he needed her. “you’ve got to learn how to behave henry.” she tried to sound serious but the smile she was fighting off sort of ruined it. taking his hard erection in her hand, she slowly began to twist her hand up and down - her eyes locked on his. she knew it wasn’t going to be long before she had to give in because her sex was throbbing for him, she wasn’t sure who was being punished more.

henry gave avery a lopsided grin at her command, enjoying this side of her that he had yet to see. the man sat up and lifted his hips to help avery to get rid of his jeans; he placed his hands on her hips, guiding her hips as she ground down against his erection, but in all reality, he was really turned on by how she seemed to be taking charge of the situation this time. he watched with parted lips and furrowed eyebrows as the blonde got up from his lap to remove her last piece of clothing, smirking softly as she grabbed the condom herself to roll it on him. “oh, fuck.” was all that the older man could mutter as avery sank down on his lap, biting down on his lip hard. henry laid back and placed a hand on her hip, helping to guide her movements, slow but surely, while the other traveled all over her chest down to her stomach. “you look so fucking hot riding my cock, babe. f-fuck.”

the way that henry was reacting was exactly what avery had hoped for. she rolled her hips, leaning down to bring her lips to his. she kissed him roughly, tugging on his lower lip and biting; his lips sure to be left with bruises. he had covered avery in love bites, in reminders that she belonged to him. everyone at school had seen them and her clients weren’t too happy about them, but now it was avery’s turn. she wanted to make sure than any girl that even glanced in henry’s direction knew that he belonged to someone. “yeah? you like it when i’m in control?” she smirked, picking up the pace just just a short while. once avery noticed that henry was starting to lose control, she began to move very slow - almost punishingly slow. lifting her hips up so that just the very tip of him was still in place, avery hovered over him, teasing him. she wanted him to beg for it, she wanted him to know that she had the power.

henry shook his head with a roll of eyes at avery’s comment on him “caving”; as much as he knew that was true, he didn’t like to be reminded of how the girl had him so easily at such a short period of time. he lifted his arms to help her get rid of the shirt after the leather jacket, tangling his hand into her blonde hair as she kissed all over his bare neck and down to his collarbones. “fuck, you’re not getting away with this, i swear…” he groaned out, trying to keep his eyes open. henry flipped them over so avery was on top of him, one leg at each side of his body, and quickly took off her own jacket then her top followed the same path. he kissed down her neck to her cleavage, kissing every inch of skin that was exposed to him there.

‘i get away with everything.’ avery reminded her boyfriend with a wicked grin. ‘what avery gets, she wants. remember that.” she warned him with a giggle, kissing his lips once more before henry flipped around, switching their position. she lifted her arms so he could remove her shirt with ease and ground her hips down against his. her hand held onto the back of henry’s neck as he worked kisses along her exposed skin and she let out a soft groan in pleasure, just feeling their bodies, skin to skin was enough to drive her wild. leaning back on his lap a little, avery undid the fasten on the older boy’s jeans. “sit up.” she told him, wrangling them off of his legs and pushing them to the floor. even through his boxes, avery could feel how hard henry was and she was overwhelmed with the memory of their weekend and just how spent they were by the end of it. henry was wild, the only person who was able to handle avery’s wild side and in all honesty, he probably even brought out an even wilder side of her. soon enough, she couldn’t handle it anymore. she pulled away from henry and stood up, undressing herself before removing the last article of clothing from henry’s body. she went into his dresser and got a condom, ripping it open and rolling it down his length. she wasn’t playing games, she needed him. hovering over him, she slowly lowered herself onto him, letting out a soft moan as her body adjusted.

henry had never been known for having much selfcontrol, but it took all of whatever was left of it in his body to try and remove avery’s hand from his thigh. the effect that she had on him was quick and could already be seen in the bulge he was supporting in his jeans, but he tried his best to play it off like it was nothing. “come on, you have to study, ave… come on…” he removed her from his lap gently and got up to get her textbooks that sat on the coffee table, but stopped before he could get there, turning on his feet and throwing himself at avery on the bed again. “yeah, alright, later.” it was all he managed to mutter before he was kissing her hard, pressing himself against her thigh to show her just the power she had on him.

avery pouted and watched as henry walked to get her books, but she didn’t give up hope. she was all prepared to bat her eyes and show some skin when henry got back but luckily she didn’t have to. as soon as she turned around, avery smirked and wrapped her arms around him. “i knew you would cave.” she told him in between kisses. avery wasted no time in pushing the jacket off of henry and lifting his shirt off and tossing it somewhere on the floor. “later” she repeated but she had no intentions of actually doing any studying today. she smirked as she felt his erection on her thigh. it drove her wild just how much hold she had over him. tugging on his hair so that his neck was tilted back, avery planted kisses down his neck, biting and sucking on the skin near his collar bone.

henry let out a heavy sigh of relief when avery said that his singing was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. he knew that she could only be biased about that, but he didn’t care. he smiled broadly to the blonde, opening his arms to accept her on his lap, her light weight feeling very comfortable and familiar on top of him. “you’re my only fan, love.” he whispered into her ear in a playful tone, kissing her lobe there. as much as he tried, he couldn’t wipe off the silly, wide grin on his face as he looked up at the blonde on his lap. “you got me real good, did you know that?” he spoke softly, grabbing her chin with his fingers gently and pulling her down into another kiss. “i really can’t get enough of you, kitten. this is either going to be the best thing of our lives or the worst.” and there it was, he had said it. henry was scared shitless of getting so involved with avery but he had already learned to accept that he couldn’t stop that from happening. the outcome was the scary part now. before he could dwell on that thought, he pressed his lips to avery’s in a soft, gentle kiss… it was different than any other kiss he’d ever had. “alright, now stop distracting me,” he joked, smacking her behind playfully to urge her to stand up. “we got a lot of studying to do.”

“well trust me, one day you will have millions of fans. girls will be throwing themselves at you and trying to sneak into your tour bus, throwing bras at you on stage ... and i will still be your biggest fan.” avery giggled, peppering henry’s face in soft kisses. remaining in his lap with her arms draped around his neck. “you better never get enough of me, cause i’m not going anywhere.” she said quite matter of factly. even if it ends up being bad, it will still have been the best thing of my life.” the words came out of her mouth before she could give much thought to them. she meant what she said completely but it was a scary thing to admit. it was scary to know that even if this whole thing turned out horribly wrong, henry would always be the best thing that had ever happened to her. after kissing him again, avery sighed. “nooo, we can study later.” she whined, beginning to kiss down henry’s neck and trail her hand to his thigh in hopes that it would distract him from the topic.

avery’s words made him feel better for some reason — if she thought he could make it, something told him that he could… but then again, he was probably just biased. he saw that sparkle in her blue eyes when she heard that he was a musician and he already knew what she was going to say before she did, but henry shook his head. “oh, no, just… no. some other time…” he brushed it off, biting the inside of his cheek to keep from smiling shyly. he had already picked on how stubborn avery was, so it was no surprise when she continue to pester him about it, and henry sighed in defeat. “alright, i’ll sing one song and then we can start studying. deal?” he got up from the bed and went to get the guitar, joining avery again seconds later. henry cleared his throat, giving avery a quick look — just by looking at her he already knew what song he wanted to sing — before he started playing the first chords to tenerife sea by ed sheeran. “you look so wonderful in your dress, i love your hair like that…” henry sang softly, his voice echoing in the small motel bedroom. the lyrics that he sang weren’t written by him, but they might as well have been — they had ‘avery’ written all over, and henry was a bit scared to realize that he meant every thing he was singing. how could it be when they had only met two weeks before? how could he feel such a deep connection to some girl that he barely even knew? “should this be the last thing i see, i want you to know it’s enough for me… cause all that you are is all that i’ll ever need… so in love…” he gave avery a small smile, moving his eyes from hers to the guitar. he wasn’t quite ready to say that he was “in love” with the girl, but god knew that if henry would ever feel anything close to love, it would be with avery. the fact that he already knew that told him just how dangerous their combination was. “you look so beautiful in this light, your silhouette over me, the way it brings out the blue in your eyes… is the tenerife sea…” the male finished it with a grin in avery’s direction. he was suddenly very selfconscious about his voice or the way he played, something that never happened, so he placed the guitar aside and gestured to the blonde. “so, um, do you fancy this?”

avery grinned wickedly when she finally got her way. “yeah, fine. deal.” she nodded her head unenthusiastically. she watched intensely as henry got up and grabbed his guitar. sitting crossed legged, she faced henry as soon as he sat down, so she could look into his eyes as he played. as soon as he began to play however, her eye’s reverted to his hands. he played the instrument with such ease, his long fingers grazing over each string. as soon as he opened his mouth to sing, avery was amazed. she looked up into his eyes and felt like she was melting. she knew the song, she knew that ed sheeran had wrote it but the way that henry sang the words it felt like the song was written just for her.  no one had ever made avery feel as special and important as henry had in the last two weeks and now hearing him sing such a beautiful song was making her emotional. reaching up, she wiped her eyes in fear that she was going to start crying. avery had learned very early on to repress her emotions but this was out of her control. it was a good thing though, it was a happy feeling ... something avery hadn’t felt in a long time. he finished the song and avery let out a breath she didn’t know she was holding in, completely speechless. “henry...” she was barely audible, in complete and utter shock. “that was the most beautiful thing i have ever heard in my life...” as soon as he placed the guitar down, avery crawled into his lap, wrapping her arms around him and burying her face in his chest, taking in the scent of him. “i know you’re going to make it, i really do. you’re so talented, i can’t believe it.” she kissed his lips softly, pressing her forehead against his, “i’m your biggest fan.”

the man bit down on the inside of his cheek at avery’s answer, and something about the way she sounded told henry everything he needed to know. his heart ached and he was again surprised at just how deeply he felt for this girl. henry sighed at her question about work, shrugging it off. “not that good. unless i want to be a cashier or a waiter, this is gonna be very difficult to pull off. but this is not what i came to do in new york, you know?” the man fished his keys out of the pocket to unlock the door and let avery step in first before he did the same, locking the door behind him again. at avery’s question, henry smiled weakly, gesturing to the guitar case in the corner of the room — they had been so lost in their physical activities and talking about silly things the last time she was here that she probably didn’t even notice it. “i’m a musician. i came to new york because it is my best shot at getting attention to my music, you know?” he was fairly proud of that aspect of his life: his love for music. now, though, he was a bit selfconscious because of how cliche he sounded. sure, some british kid thinks he is good enough to make it in america. no money in his pockets but a guitar and his voice — how fucking pathetic. henry placed avery’s books on the bedside table and made her sit down on the bed, following her shortly after. “do you wanna get something to eat before you study?“

avery was relieved that henry seemed to pick up on the fact that she wanted to move on from their conversation but something told her it wouldn't be the last conversation about the topic. unfortunately though, she new her living arrangements wasn't going to be the hardest thing to talk to him about... her job was but that wasn't something she had to think about telling him just yet. the blonde walked into the apartment, nodding. "waiting tables is not the new york dream, but a lot of the times it's the new york reality. i can't tell you how many people i've met living in this city that moved here to follow their dreams, only to become waiters." avery turned to look at henry and every time she did she was taken back by his beauty. "but you're different, don't let new york get you okay? never settle for anything less than perfect." she kissed him quickly and than turned to look in the direction he had pointed, at the guitar she had somehow missed the last time she was here. "a musician?" she repeated, a smile spread across her face. nearly everyone who packed up and moved to manhattan had dreams of making it big and although she had never heard henry perform, something told her he was good at it. maybe that was because she was so blinded by her emotions for him that she believed he could do anything, but henry had the musician look. "no." she stated when he asked if she wanted to get something to eat, instead a wicked smile crossed her face. "I want to hear you play." she motioned at the guitar in the corner. "and i won't open a textbook until you do." she made herself comfortable on the bed, completely set on not moving until she got her way. henry's speaking voice alone was enough to ignite a fire through her body, she could only imagine what him signing could do to her.

henry couldn’t help but smile widely when avery agreed, kissing her face one last time before he was being dragged into the building. they passed her group of friends and leighton shot him a quizzical look to which he just shrugged; he already knew that avery was too proud to want people to know that she was actually trying. henry fought the urge to chuckle when she said she didn’t remember the combination and just gave her a stern look — not too long after she had managed to get the books and he gave her an ironic thumbs up. “that’s my girl,” he teased. an older woman passed them and made some bitchy comment about avery that made henry’s blood boil; he wondered for a moment in just how much trouble he could get avery if he called the woman out on her bullshit. “yeah babe, let’s go.” he replied, leaning to kiss her forehead before wrapping his arm protectively around avery’s shoulder to walk out. before they moved though, henry turned over his shoulder to the woman and gave her a very sarcastic grin, mouthing a ‘fuck you’. they were out of the building after that and henry had already taken avery’s bag and her books to carry himself as they walked back to the motel. “so, um… where do you live?” he wasn’t sure of how to ask that, but he needed to know — avery didn’t have parents and she couldn’t have rented a place for being a minor, so he was concerned about her situation.

avery saw henry look over his shoulder at her teacher but what he did didn’t catch her eye. she raised an eyebrow at him and only laughed. avery was flattered when henry took her books and her bag, kissing him on the cheek before they headed back to his motel. avery wasn’t surprised when henry asked about her living situation, it had to come up sooner or later. they were dating now and it was unusual to not know where your significant other lived, but still it was an uneasy topic. “oh... around.” she shrugged, placing her hands in the pockets of her army green bomber jacket. “i’m like a gypsy... i don’t stay in one place too long.” she laughed, making it sound a lot nicer than it seemed. again though, she was afraid for henry to know the truth. “anyway, back to your day since you keep blowing it off. how’d the job hunting go?” she turned the corner, walking in the direction of the motel. luckily it wasn’t too far from her school and soon enough they were walking down the hallway and to henry’s room. “so, you never told me ... why’d you move out to new york?” it had only just occurred to her that henry was now getting all the info on her but she was still missing some on him. avery felt like she had known henry her whole life but in reality, there was still so much she didn’t know.

henry crossed his arms over his chest, his lips pressed in a thin line as avery spoke. not even her smile mentioning the nickname he had called her was enough to make him soften. henry was dead set on this, on making sure she was graduating, and he was not backing down. as avery walked away, he only stood there, not moving an inch. he lifted an eyebrow when she turned to him, clearly challenging her. “well, if you’re not going with me to get your books so we can study for your damn finals, i am not going any fucking where with you.” he said matter-of-factly with a shrug. “avery, this is not a joke to me. if you won’t do it for yourself, do it for me.” he finally stepped further into her direction, taking her face in between his hands gently and pressing their lips in a soft kiss. “please, kitten?”

“henry.” she whined out upon noticing that he was not following behind her. “come on, don’t do this. let’s just go.” she tried to charm her way out of it, batting her eyelashes but it was no use. henry was very much sticking to his word, avery could tell. sighing in defeat, she approached him. how could she say no to that face, how could she not do it for him? avery knew very early on that she would do absolutely anything for henry. kissing his lips back, avery nodded. “fine. i’ll try.” she wasn’t happy about it, but the least she could do was agree to try. she hated school, and she hated studying but if she had to work at it and graduate to make henry happy, she would. taking his hand she led him back to the school and passed her friends who were are still standing near the stairs. they all stared at her but she didn’t saw a word, only dragging henry into the building with her and to her locker. “i don’t even know the combination.” she told him, because she had never really used it. taking her phone out of her pocket she found where she saved it and opened the locker. inside was still completely bare and undecorated like most peoples. she grabbed the only textbooks she had, no notebooks because she just wrote whatever she had to write in one book and closed the locker. an older woman walked passed, one of avery’s teachers and snickered. wow miss sultan, bringing a book home? i might faint. avery only rolled her eyes and looked at henry. “can we go now?”

her words hurt henry in such a way that he couldn’t quite understand yet. the thought of avery, so damn young, just… out. alone. she had no fucking one, and henry had never been more heartbroken in his life. because, yes, he didn’ have the best parental figures, his father could be dead by now for all that he knew, but his mother had always been there. avery was about to miss on something very important because she felt like she wouldn’t have anyone to care if she failed or succeeded and he wasn’t having that.“well, guess fucking what, kitten?” his tone was harsh when he spoke, grabbing onto avery’s chin to force her to look at him. henry caught himself wondering what else was hiding behind those blue eyes, but he already knew how strong avery was.  “you’re not on your own anymore, got it?” and he had never meant anything more in his life. henry was just a kid himself, but he would make sure to always take care of avery, even if it cost him his life. “do you have your books and shit? we’re going home now and we’re gonna study for your finals and, god help me avery, i swear on my fucking life that you are graduating.”

avery was taken by surprise when henry grabbed her face and forced her to look at him. the harsh tone in his voice made avery smirk, despite the seriousness of the conversation. “kitten?” she raised an eyebrow but she liked the nickname, it was nice. something told her that henry was very much set on helping avery, but she was beyond help. if he only knew the half of it, he would be running for the hills, no doubt about it. that was what avery was most afraid of. she was petrified that henry would see the real her and leave - just like everyone else did “no, i never have my books. i’m not graduating henry, i’m a lost cause.” she began to walk again, not wanting any of it. “i appreciate that you care but it’s too late. even my guidance counselor has given up on me. it’s not worth it.” as she walked she stopped in her place, turning to make sure that henry was following her.
