I had never understood what it felt like for one person to be your everything, to look at that person and know. I’d never believed myself capable of that. I hadn’t wanted to be capable of it.

When Thea and I hung up the phone, I went to see Grayson.
UGH PLS PICK ONE MAN ITS NOT HARD FFS

Alisa walked to stand beside my bed. “That’s the thing, Avery. He is.”
UHH NO ??? WTF STOP NO

angst
I tried to stop myself there. Because your brother kissed me. Because when you and I kiss, you feel it, the same way I do.

I wasn’t about to say a single word of that out loud. “Fine.” I kept my eyes on Jameson’s a moment longer, then turned to Oren. “I’ll go alone.”

He did this for me. I wasn’t sure how I was supposed to feel about that

ugh team grayson again!!

There was a beat of silence and then: “Everyone out.” The realization that it was Jameson who had spoken those words, Jameson who was willingly stepping back from the puzzle—for me—.

nvm team jameson!!

“He shouldn’t have kissed me.”

okay team grayson IDK

“You’re okay, Avery.” Grayson knelt beside Jameson, beside me. “We won’t let anything hurt you.” For a long, drawn-out moment, there wasn’t a sound in the room except our breathing. Grayson’s. Jameson’s. And mine.

if she doesnt get wiv both of them i will
