My eyebrows hit my hairline. “Hewhat?”
“I’ll explain everything when you get here.”
I let out a long sigh. “Let me talk to my boss, and see if I can leave early.”
“I understand. Take your time.”
I click on Avery’s name and type out a text to him:
Me
What’s this I hear about you starting a fight?
Avery
I punched Austin in his stupid face.
Me
Why would you do that? I thought everything had calmed down with those boys.
Avery
He called you a whore.
Avery
I had to stick up for you.
I cover my mouth with my hand and squeeze my eyes shut as I read the disgusting five-letter word my nephew had to hear because of me.
God damnit.
This is getting worse.
The last thing I wanted was for the kids to suffer because of my choices.
Me:
I’m sorry I put you in that position. You should’ve just ignored him.
Avery
He had it coming.
I let out a small chuckle. That little shithead really did have it coming.
Me
Did he hit you back?
Avery
Nope. I knocked him on the floor with one punch.
Avery
Can’t wait to tell Chance.
