The Wallflower and the Alphas

Avery P.O.V. 

After dinner, I had with the guys. But I still can't stop thinking about my older brother, whose parents said he died when I was six. That can't be him. Right. There is no way my parents would lie to me. I trust them with all my heart. They would never betray me. "I don't know Avery. They didn't tell you about your brother being alive?" I heard my inner voice speak inside my head. I don't know when I was inside my mind that Jake placed his hand on top of my hand.

Do you have to leave us, little mate?" Jake asked me with sadness in his eyes. Honestly, I didn't want to go, but I needed answers about why I was seeing my dead brother outside the woods by the cabin. I shook my head, and I looked over at him. I saw his face. He was smiling at me. That was when I saw his beautiful smile. I let out a breath and knew I needed to stop worrying about what happened a little bit ago in the bedroom.

Hour Now, I was back in my old bedroom. I wanted to go home. So, my mom and dad came back and picked me up. But before they came. I was standing down in the living room. I was sitting on the couch between Elijah and Jake. But Matthew and Andrew were sitting on the floor. Their backs are on my knees. There was room on the couch. They didn't want to be away from me. I wanted to roll my eyes when I was thinking back.

Once I was settled in my bedroom and on my bed, my parents stood there staring at each other. I know they got something they're hiding from me. So, I open my mouth to speak. Then suddenly, there was a crash downstairs. I heard my father growl, and he changed into his wolf. "Daddy! And John!" I said, and my mom called out to him in panic. He was already going down the stairs and going to the sound of whoever someone was in our house.

"Mom!" I whispered, and she looked at the door where my dad went out my door. "Mom," I say a little louder. She finally looked my way. I can tell she knows what's going on. Because her face was pale white, and I saw tears falling down her cheeks. "Moms, tell me what's wrong!" I tell her with a demanding tone. Nothing... honey." I heard her say, staring down at the floor.

She is lying. I can't believe my mom lied to me. Because she knows what's happening downstairs, I must tell her I am not falling for it. And I know she is lying to me. "Mom! I say with a serious tone. Don't tell me you don't know. Because we both know you know what's happening with Daddy downstairs. So, tell me what's going on." So, I knew you were lying to me." I tell her, staring at her when I told her. "Okay, I'll tell... you." She said with a nervous voice.

"Your father and I have been keeping a secret." She tells me. I am waiting for her to keep going. "You see, sweetheart, you see. Your father and I lied to you about your brother and..." But before she could finish. I heard a deep manly voice that didn't sound like my father. "His's here." I looked over at my door. I saw my father standing beside a very tall man with bright blue eyes and blonde hair staring over at me.

I pull my hands up towards my face. I had a shocked expression. I can't believe it! "Edward," I say with tears clouding my eyes. I wanted to run at him. But something stops me with his body language, and the expression on his face stops me in my tracks. I can feel the anger and hate of his body. But then he hides it with a smile on his face. I am still trying to stay calm. But that was when my father started walking over toward me and Mom. I stare at my dad. "Daddy, what's going on," I asked him in the mind link.

I hope my brother doesn't try to hurt us. "Sweetheart, everything is going to be okay." I heard him say back inside my mind. I didn't know what to think. But when my father says something. I listen to him. If he said everything would be alright and okay. I believe him. I nodded my head at my father, and he had a forced smile. He was trying to show me a fake smile I saw on his face. He doesn't know what will happen. I did something to tell him. I understand.

I smiled over at my father. Then I switch my expression on my brother. I turn my head, and I stare over at Edward. I gasped when I was staring into his face. Then he did something that shocked me. When I saw him in my room, that was when he walked; now, we are face to face. I wanted to move my feet back. But I could not do anything. But suddenly, I felt his hands wrapped around my waist. That was when I felt him hugging me. I didn't know what to do.

I was afraid to move or speak. Then I heard him whisper in my ear. "Hey, sis," I heard him chuckle. He backed away. That was when he pulled me away from him. To give us some space. That was when I saw the old Edward staring back at me with a sweet smile. "You don't know how I miss you, little sis," he said with so many emotions.

"I miss. You... too, big brother; I am so sorry about that day," I tell him with no lie on my lips, tears streaming down my face. I should have listened to him on summer day before he was going into fourth grade. I was in going into second grade. My brother is older than me. He was excited to hang out with his friends. But I was jealous and angry he was leaving me. I wish I could take back that awful and dreadful day.

When it all changes. Because that was the day my brother drowned. Because it was all my fault, when my brother had to save me, it was my fault my brother had to swim and got me out. But most importantly, I froze when my brother asked me to help him. I didn't. I killed him! Because I killed my Big Brother!
