It was the middle of the night. It was early in the morning. Avery didn't know what time it was. All she knew was that she wound up at Lucas's door because she didn't have anywhere else to go. It wasn't raining this time but there was a biting Somerset breeze and it pinched her cheeks so hard she was certain they were pink. Her nose was running, which probably meant it had a shiny red glint to it, like Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. Probably not the most attractive. She was still in her pajamas, her thin gold strap of her shirt in tatters. She immediately looked away, her arms crossed over her chest. She was shaking due to the cold, due to her feelings, due to...

She didn't even know what anymore. All she knew was that she was here, in front of Lucas's place, freezing her butt off because she didn't think to grab a coat or anything that would keep her warm. Her cheeks were probably stained with makeup she had carefully put on for her night at the club.

She probably looked like a fool. A trainwreck of a fool.

"This is stupid," she muttered to herself, shaking her head. Her hair picked up around her as a breeze started to blow. "Just go home or at least to your parents. Avoid Rick for a few days. He's drunk, he doesn't know what he's doing."

Avery was ready to turn around and head back to the car when Lucas's door creaked open.

"Avery?" he asked. She spun around so fast she nearly stumbled down and Lucas reached out to steady her. "What's going on? Are you okay?" His hands were warm on her skin.

She nodded. "I, uh." She didn't know what to say. She never knew what to say when she was around him.

"Come inside," he said, gently pulling her to him, into the warmth his house offered. "What are you doing? I can see everything, Av, why are you only in" -

He cut himself off after closing the door behind him. Immediately, his eyes narrowed on her bare shoulder. Avery wasn't able to enjoy the heat his house provided because his hands were on her shoulder and his eyes were narrowed and his jaw was clenched.

"I'll rip him to shred with my bare hands," he told her, his voice so quiet she was almost certain she heard him wrong.

"No, it's" - Avery shook her head, cutting her off. "I'm okay. I just..." She swallowed. To be honest, she didn't know why she was feeling this way. She didn't know why she was here and why she left Rick. Everything was so opposite and she was so confused. All she knew was that she wanted to be right here, with Lucas.

"What happened?" he asked. His grip on her was tight but harmless. It was as though he was afraid to let her go. Truth be told, she didn't want him to. "If you want to talk about it. I don't want to force you to do something you don't want to do.
