Finding Avery on the school steps was unusual because she tended to hide a lot from others, especially from Roland as she sees him as some type of stalker, but when she came across with her intent on finding some place to stay because she didn’t want to go home, it made an opening for Roland to be of help. She also questioned where Steven was at because he was usually near almost all the time, but Roland replied with an honest answer.[i] “Who, Steven? God only knows where he could of went to, and with it being a school night he could get in trouble.”[/i] After he gave an answer, Avery decided to get and start searching for a place to spend the night. But before she could get away, Roland used his voice to stop her for a moment. [i]“Wait! Umm…..I-I had an idea if um….if your interested, but if not well uh I’ll completely understand and help you find someplace else or whatever.”[/i] Roland became nervous for the next question he was going to ask her because he’s never really asked anyone what he was preparing to ask, especially a girl. Plus, he was also afraid that she would get the wrong idea, hopefully not, but he was ready to back it up with explanation. As he tried to clam himself and adjust with his nerves getting the best of him, he popped the question.[i][i] “Would you like to stay at my place for the night?”[/i][/i]
