All mine

Chapter 7

Wren's pov:
I hear the birds chirping, I peek my eyes open and see that it's light out. I let out a groan. Last night was supposed to be a good time, it was until I found out Liliah heard I went to see him. In just a matter of two days our lives were rapidly changing and I didn't like it one bit.

After getting ready to rip Knox's head off for telling Liliah, I learned it was an innocent butt dial. I wanted to be angry but I know it was an accident. After she flipped on me I just let her be. She was drunk and emotions were running high. She needed time to cool off. Hell so did I. What was so wrong with me going to see him? I was 21 years old. I had the right to do what I want. It was about what I wanted, not her.

I texted Liliah to see if she was awake, we needed to hash this out.

After a few minutes of scrolling aimlessly through my phone, and still nothing from Liliah I decide to get up.

Once I'm dressed I go to knock on her door but it's already open and she's gone. I call her but it goes right to voicemail. I blow out a breath. This was going to be harder than I thought. Damn could Liliah hold a grudge.

I head downstairs and into the kitchen to grab my keys.
"Good morning sweetie how are you feeling?"

Mom asks me.
"Yeah, good. Have you seen Liliah this morning?"

"Yeah, she and Chase went out, had some errands to run."

No. I know exactly where they are. They went without me what the fuck.

"You okay honey?"
"Yeah her and I were supposed to go out, guess she forgot."
"That's weird, that's not like her."

I realize I said too much. I don't need mom freaking out.
"Nah it's fine, I've gotta meet Knox anyways! Love you, I'll see you later."

I head toward the door.
"Bye! Love you too, don't forget about dinner tonight!"

Fuck. I needed to talk with Liliah before then. I didn't need Liliah pissed at me. Plus I didn't need her acting weird and for mom to be suspicious.

After driving around aimlessly for a bit, I decide to call Chase. If Liliah wants to be mad then fine, but I need to know what happened.

After a few rings he answers.
"Hey Wren, how are you?"
"What happened?"

Chase doesn't say anything for a while. 

"Just that they are going to talk to this Riley kid, they don't really have proof of him doing anything. They are already in jail so there's nothing they can do." 

"What the fuck! This all bullshit. I'm going down there." 

"And do what Wren? Talk to him again tell him all about us?" Liliah yells through the phone. 

"Fuck you Liliah. That's bullshit and you know it." 

"It's my right! Sorry you don't give a shit about where we came and just want to bury your feelings but that's not me. You don't control me." 

"Both of you, that's enough!" Chase yells into the phone. 

I end the call, before I say something I regret. 

How was I becoming the villian in all of this? Was it so wrong I wanted to see him? I needed to know.. for myself, if I was like him. There's times where Liliah acts just like mom. Do I act just like him too? I've never really dated because I was afraid. I was his son. What if I was him? 

Avery's pov:

I felt like there was something weird going on with Wren. I thought he was better after our talk but now I don't know. Liliah, I barley saw her last night at her party. I just have this instinct. Something isn't right. I'm trying to tell myself I'm acting crazy, that things will be better tonight when we are all together having dinner. Just one big happy family. My family.
