"Hey Fred! You here?"Avella asked walking into Fred's bedroom. Fred was sitting on his bed looking at his cell phone. "Oh hey!" he said putting his phone down. "Whatcha lookin at?" she asked sitting down next to him.
"Just this!" he said showing her his background picture of them at the Yule Ball. She chuckled. "God look at us! We were so young. Young love, how it always fails." Avella frowned. "Ah anyway! I wanted to thank you about the other day." "What do you mean how it always fails?" Fred asked, seeming slightly hurt. "It just never works out in the end. Someone almost always dies." Avella replied.
"Fred you know I never meant to hurt you right?" Avella asked. "Yeah i know but you really did hurt me Vel! Not just me, everyone." Fred replied. "Yeah I know and i'm sorry. I really didn't mean for it to happen like that!"
"I really did miss you Vel!" Fred said wrapping his arm around Avella's shoulders. "I didn't want to leave but I had no choice!" Avella said laying her head on Fred's shoulder. "You've always had a choice." Fred said. Avella turned her head to look him in the eye and before she knew what was going on Fred's lips had crashed onto her's. She returned the kiss.
They continued kissing as Avella laid back on the bed with Fred hovering above her. They stopped to take a breath and Avella realized what she was doing.
She lightly pushed Fred off of her and sat up. "I'm sorry. I can't do this!" she said getting up off of the bed and walking out of the room. She was about to walked down the stairs when Fred came running out of his room. "Are you ok?" he asked. "Yeah. I'm just not ready for a relationship right now!" Avella said. "It's ok i'm not trying to rush you into anything!" Fred said. "Thank you!" Avella said giving him a quick kiss on the lips and walking down the stairs, leaving him alone at the top of the stairs...
