Chelsea's POV
We saw what happened to Aexa and Avery. We heard what Avery shouted to Alexa. I can't believe she said all of that. We know she is jealous and possessive towards Alexa, but it is not enough reason to shout at her and insult her. Yes, she insulted Alexa. She even pinpointed how dense Lex is in the relationship.
I know Alexa. She didn't know how to lie. When she said she was fine, I knew she was just fine in that Avery shouted at her and insulted her. However, I know she has begun to doubt herself, and she may have even blamed herself, because she is clueless about love. That time I wanted to stop Avery, but Sam and Kiara stopped me.
They said that Avery might hurt me too. I know if I stop her she might really hurt me, but I feel sad about Alexa. She listened to her rant and she even smiled after Avery insulted her.
Alexa is too kind and precious to hurt, insult, and humiliate. She is trying, and I witnessed all of that because she was always asking me questions and I even saw her reading books about love, relationships, and romance. She spends her time reading those instead of reading her medical books.
"Unnie, are we really going to let her go with that man?" Kiara asked me because she was worried about Alexa.
"Yes, it is fine. That is Alexa's brother. His grandma is the one who adopted her. " Kiara and Sam sighed.
"You two, dont worry about her. You know, she doesn't know how to lie. She is honest. That's why sometimes she is kinda savage and brutal. "
"Yes she is, actually she roasted our professor," Sammy shared with us.
"Really? What did she do?" Kiara asked her.
"She was not listening to the discussion and the professor called her. She said she didn't find the lesson interesting. The professor then threatened her with failing Alexa in his class, to which Alexa replied that he could do so because the school had a grading system, and failing her because she was not listening was not a sufficient reason to fail her. They even have a bet."
"What bet?" I asked her
"If she answers all his questions, our whole class grade will be an A+, and if she fails to answer his questions, she will be held back another year. Since she is Alexa, she will probably solve I think 30 math problems that are not in our book in 27 minutes. We left the professor dumbfounded and we never attended his class because we already had an A+. "
"That was cool!" Kiara exclaimed
"Yes it is cool. Watching her roast our professor is like watching a movie. "
We watched the fireworks display and cleaned up our mess. I saw Avery and I know she regrets what she did. I need to talk to her. I need to make some sense to her.
"Avery, let's talk," I told her, and she looked at me.
"What are we going to talk about?"
"Are you really going to ask me that?"
"Can you just tell me?" She is getting annoyed.
"Avery, don't give me that attitude."
"What?"
"I had enough of you Avery. I already told you if you hurt Alexa, I'm taking her away from you. "
"I didnt hurt her and she said she was fine and she even smiled. You know she is not lying."
"Yeah, she said that, and it's true, but did you know she's probably blaming and doubting herself?"
"Unnie I dont know what you are talking about. "
"STOP BEING AN INNOCENT AVERY!!!"I'M DONE WITH YOU!! BUT SHE PLEADED ME TO ACCEPT HER DECISION TO MARRY YOU, BUT BOOM WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!! " I shouted at her because I was getting mad now.
"I DIDN'T ASK HER TO ACCEPT MY PARENTS' REQUEST!!! Did I? I did not force her to marry me. I did not force her to be in a relationship with me!!!! "
"You are so f*****g!!! HYPOCRITE AVERYYY!!!. YOU HURT THE MOST PRECIOUS PERSON THAT I KNOW!!!"
"I DID NOT HURT HER; I JUST TOLD HER THE TRUTH!!"
"What is the truth? Is that the truth you're talking about?!?!? She's DUMB, i***t, STUPID, FOOL, AND f*****g DENSE AND OBLIVIOUS!!!WHAT ELSE IS THERE?!?!THAT SHE DIDNT FIND YOU ATTRACTIVE?!?! EVENTHOUGH YOU ARE HER HOMESCREEN!! SHE EVEN TOOK A PHOTO OF YOU SECRETTLYY!!! She always says that you are cute and pretty at the same time! Because she respects you!!! She is not like others who want your money, body, and power!!! DO NOT f*****g COMPARE HER TO OTHERS!!!" I take a quick breath.
"Did you even see her when she was asking me questions about relationships and relationships, about how to be a good and nice girlfriend? SO SHE IS LEARNING, SHE IS STUDYING HOW SHE IS GOING TO BE A GOOD f*****g GIRLFRIEND TO YOU!!! " I marched towards her and I felt someone stop me. It was Sam and KIARA.
"Avery Jane f*****g Halston!! You hurt my sister, and you hurt her without considering her feelings. You don't know her fully, but how easy it is for you to say those words. Did you even know what she'd experienced from the past? SHE IS TRYING TO LIVE LIKE A NORMAL PERSON. She is trying to fit herself here. Actually, she did like coming to this kind of festival, but she just did that because she wanted to see you. She always texts me to see if I'm okay and how I'm doing. She always tells me to keep an eye on you and take care of you if she isn't around.. Sometimes she takes a leave from work just to be with you. Instead of studying her medical books, she reads and studies about relationships and romance. SHE IS HAPPY JUST BY WATCHING YOU." I sighed and continued speaking, but I stopped shouting.
"She is happy receiving love from you. She is trying to love you. She is willing to learn how to be better for you. She begs her brother to accept her decision to be with you. She thinks about you first before herself. She always contacts Madie to buy you food and to check on you. She might not be texting or calling you, but she is asking us about you because she doesn't want to disturb you and she wants you to focus and finish your f****d up work. She sacrifices a lot just for you."
"She always visits your parents to bond with them. She always plays chess with your dad. She always watches lame movies with your mom. She always accompanies your mom when she goes shopping. She is learning to drive a car because she wants to drive for you. She also helps the maids in the mansion. She even talked with the maids and butlers. She treats them like normal people. She even sometimes accompanies your dad to his business lunch meetings because your dad wants a companion. "
"She does the things that you should do as a daughter because she knows you are busy, you hate seeing them and coming home. She is carrying out your duty because she despises seeing them sad and lonely. She wants to lessen the sadness that your parents feel because of your abscence. Did you know she hated your parents because they almost kneeled in front of her because they wanted you to feel happy? Did you know she did that deal because she hated seeing your parents sad? She did not also do that deal because of your parents, but also because of you. "
"She wants to see the old little Avery, the one who is bubbly and lovely. She is the only one who does not believe us that you have a bad attitude. She is the only one who sees you as you. She always sees you, she focuses on you, and she tries to be with you. If you do not believe me, you can read our convo, or you can ask your parents or even the workers in the mansion. Look at the flaws from the bright side. If you are not just my cousin and they do not intervene, I will murder you. I don't know if Ash can still accepts you if he knows what you did to her. "
"Wake up Avery, open your eyes, don't be blinded by your anger and jealousy. She is already yours. She is already your girlfriend. She gives you the assurance that she is only yours." I sat on the ground because I was exhausted. I know she regrets what she said, but she chose to ignore it.
Silence eats us up.
"Ms. Halston, I have known Alexa for 6 years and she took time before opening up to me. I know what is always happening between you and her. I know she is not mad at you. If you see her tomorrow, she will talk to you like she always does. Don't take her for granted. " Sam comforted her, and she rubbed Avery's back.
"Ms. Halston I only see Alexa as a sister. We clicked when we met. You do have to feel jealous of me. I'm just like that, really clingy. Im sorry if you misunderstood it." Kiara hugged her and Avery cried on her shoulder.
"Ms. Halston, here," Madie said as she handed me a bottle of water.
"Thank you Madie", She nodded at me.
We stayed here in the field until Avery fell asleep on Kiara's shoulder. Bobby lifted her into the car. Sam and Kiara were with me. We went to the mansion. I told Sam and Kiara that they should stay the night here in Mansion because it was already late and they agreed.
Bobby brought Avery to her room. Uncle and Auntie are worried about Avery. I told them what happened, and they felt sad and ashamed of Alexa. They have only been in a 3 month relationship, but they already had a fight. Not really a fight, because Alexa just listened and accepted her rants.
"Chel unnie" I'm on the balcony right now and I looked back and I saw Kiara.
"Why?"
"You are worried about Alexa, right?"
"Yeah"
"Me too. If Avery unnie shouted at me like that, I might cry and leave her instantly. " She laughed
"So you are a crybaby, huh?"
"Kinda hahaha, but really I am amazed at Alexa. She just listened to her rant and was still happy because Avery let her vent all her anger at her. Did you know why she is happy?"
"Why?" I'm curious about Kiara's observation about Alexa.
"Because Alexa hates it when Avery unnie shouts or is mad at others. Alexa doesn't want her to have regrets later, so she is happy that Avery is venting all her thoughts and complaining to her. She is willing to listen and understand all her rants."
"You are a good observer, Kiara."
"Not really, because it is too obvious. Alexa is too obvious in her movements. Actually, Avery unnie is the one who is oblivious. I don't know if she is oblivious or she just chooses to ignore it. "
"I'm glad Alexa found a friend like you, Kiara."
"Nah, Im the lucky one that I got to know her. She is the one who looks at me as me. "
"What do you mean?"
"People like to be friends with me because of money and fame. She is also the one who pushed me to be a singer. She said that 'It was not a waste of time. It is much better to disappoint the people around you. At least you are happy about what you are doing, rather than letting yourself be controlled by others. Because if you follow what they want you to do, you will have regrets in your life and you will be living a lie. Live your life, be happy, achieve your dreams, and show them what you really want to be.' That's all she said, and at that moment I knew she was right. I gained confidence because of her, so yeah, I gained confidence. At that moment, I told myself that I was going to protect and cherish her as a sister. "
"She is also my sister. I love her as a sister and I will also protect her. It was really nice to meet you, Kiara. " She hugged me and I reciprocated it. I think I like Kiara, and I think it's love at first sight.
