Chapter 18 He made a post on Riverside High's Facebook group . [ ] The title was : " About Avery Morgan - The Truth I Should've Told " ] It was this huge confession about our whole story . [ ] He talked about my past , how hard I worked , what a decent person I was . About how Madison played him , how he said that awful shit . About what an idiot he'd been , how sorry he was , how messed up he felt . [ ] But the biggest thing ? He laid out all the facts . ] How I never took his money . How I busted my ass at jobs to pay him back . About that little notebook where I wrote down every cent I owed . [ ] He even posted photos of Venmo receipts and the handwritten IOUS I'd given him . [ ] At the end of the post , he wrote : [ ] [ Avery was never a parasite . [] She's the most independent , strongest , kindest person I've ever known . [ ] I didn't deserve her friendship . [ ] I destroyed the most precious thing in my life with my own hands . [ ] If I could do it over , I wish I'd never met Madison . [ ] But there's no going back . Avery , I'm sorry . ] I'm not asking for forgiveness . I just want you to be happy . ] ] And to everyone who hurt Avery - you better watch your backs . ] ] ] The post went absolutely viral . ] Once the truth came out , everyone completely flipped . [ ] People who'd trashed me started going after Madison . People who'd felt sorry for Madison started feeling sorry for me . [ ] Madison got totally destroyed online . [ ] " Take bitch , " " manipulative slut , " " homewrecker " -they threw every nasty word at her . [ ] I heard she couldn't handle the pressure and dropped out too . [ ] Trum Clingy Orphan to Unbothered Queen : The Block Burton Is My Best Revenre Chapter 18 But none of that mattered to me anymore . [ ] My manager held up her phone . " Avery , is this about you ? " [ ] I looked at it and nodded . " Yeah . " [ ] " Holy shit , you went through all that . " She looked at me like her heart was breaking . " That guy's a total asshole . " " Ancient history . " I handed her phone back and got back to work . ] ] Yeah , ancient history . ] . Justice that shows up late isn't really justice . Like getting an apology after someone's already destroyed your life - what's the point ? I never wanted this whole internet drama thing . I just wanted one person to stick up for me when everything was falling apart . ] ] Not someone crawling back to say sorry after the damage was already done . ] ] Another month went by . I'd saved up enough cash and was ready to bounce . Time to get even farther away and start over . [ ] Maybe I'd finish high school somewhere else . Maybe not . ] But whatever happened , it'd be on my terms . [ ] Last day of work , Dylan walked in . [ ] He looked way better - at least he didn't look like death warmed over anymore . [ ] " You're leaving ? " His voice was barely there . [ ] I nodded . He went quiet for a while , then said : " I'm not gonna follow you anymore . " [ ] That caught me off guard . For the past month , he'd been here every damn day without fail . [ ] " I finally get it . " He gave me this bitter smile . " If you have to force it , it's not real . " [ ] " I already hurt you once . I can't do it again . " ] ] He pulled an envelope out of his backpack . ] " This is about what happened after you left . The school took down all the lies about you . " [] " Everyone who bullied you got in serious trouble . " ] " Madison got expelled . " " And this is … compensation . For what you went through . " ] I didn't take it . " I don't need any of that . " [ ] Chapter 18 " I know . " He set the envelope on the counter . " But you deserve it . " [ ] " It's not charity or pity . " ]] " It's justice . Late as hell , but still justice . " ] I looked at him and for the first time didn't immediately say no . ] " Avery . " He looked me straight in the eye . [ ] " Thanks . For everything . " " For sticking by me . For putting up with my crap . For being like family . " " I'm sorry I screwed it all up . Took me way too long to get my head out of my ass . " [ ] " I'm sorry I never deserved you as family . " ] ] He stopped , eyes getting red . ] " Take care of yourself , okay ? " ] " When you find someone good , don't be scared to let them in . " [ ] " Don't let one jackass like me ruin it for everyone else . " ] ] " You deserve the world . " [ ] He turned to go . " Dylan . " I called after him . ] He stopped but didn't look back . ] " You take care too . " That was all I could manage . [ ] His shoulders shook . Then he was gone . [ ] For real this time .
