I Never Meant To Be Your Pain

Tony’s POV-
As Ava left, I laid back down on my bed and closed my eyes, rubbing them with my fingers. I sighed, not really wanting to get up. I knew I’d have to get up eventually but put it off so I wouldn’t have to see the guys. I knew they’d give me shit for having Ava over last night. They always did.
“Fuck…” I finally stood up, throwing my clothes around my bedroom as I searched for a shirt. I grabbed a Drop Dead shirt and pulled it over my head before putting on a pair of black skinny jeans. I sighed and slowly walked out of my room and to the kitchen. The guys were sitting at the kitchen table, drinking coffee and vodka.
“Sleep good last night Perry?” Leith asked with a smirk.
“I slept quite well. You?”
“Well I didn’t have a hot slut in my bed…”
“Would you mind not calling her a slut? She’s not.”
“Is she a virgin?” Xander asked. I closed my eyes.
“What does that have to do with anything?”
“Is she a virgin?” he asked slower.
“No,” I muttered softly.
“Then she’s a slut,” Ashton laughed.
“Fuck off.” Leith stood up.
“What did you just say to me?”
“I said to fuck off,” I growled.
“A bit defensive of Ava huh?” he smiled.
“You really like her don’t you Perry?” Ashton asked in disbelief. Xander turned to Ashton and smiled.
“He does!” Xander asked. Leith turned to me.
“What if I liked Ava?” I glared at him.
“But you don’t like her.”
“Hmm… I’m sure she’d have some fun with me,” he winked. I was getting pissed.
“No… she would never go for you.”
“You think so?” Xander asked.
“How about a bet?” Ashton suggested, raising an eyebrow as Leith’s face lit up.
“A bet…” he muttered.
“No. No bets,” I shook my head.
“You’ve never slept with her right Perry?”
“We’re just friends.”
“It’s a bet then. Whoever fucks her first wins,” Leith smiled proudly.
“No, I’m not betting anything. Ava’s a girl not a game.”
“It would be a shame to see that pretty face of hers in harm’s way, huh Tony?”
“Stay away from her Leith.”
“Or else what? You have nothing against me Perry.” He laughed.
“You’d never hurt her,” I looked down as my heart raced.
“I wouldn’t? Because I’m pretty sure my criminal record says otherwise,” he smirked causing Ashton and Xander to laugh.
“I’d take the bet Tony. Leith will fuck Ava up.” Ashton warned. I knew Leith was capable of harming someone. All of these guys were and they knew it too. I closed my eyes. Would I rather put Ava in danger or ruin our friendship by sleeping with her? What if I started dating her and then slept with her? Then our relationship wouldn't be ruined.
“It’s a deal,” I muttered. Leith smiled and high fived Xander and Ashton.
“If you win, you can have her. If I win, I get her.”
“She would never go with you.”
“She wouldn't have a choice,” he growled. “You tell her about the bet and you’ll never see her again.” I glared at him.
“I need to go.” I grabbed my jacket and walked to the front door.
“Don’t forget about our agreement Perry!” Leith yelled from the kitchen. I rolled my eyes and slammed the front door shut. I was fucked.
