When Avery answered Roland’s question that everything she told him was true, that her dad beat her and blames her for the faults in his life, Roland felt so confused and baffled. He didn’t know what to do or really how to react in a situation like this because he has never dealt with anything like this before. And knowing the fact that he has only known Avery for about a couple of days now, just barely, he could make something that seemed so serious and devastating just an after thought and forget the whole thing so that he wouldn’t have to worry about it. Yet, for some reason, he believed her. He had that feeling that she was being modest and honest when she told him, and Roland knew he wasn’t a selfish type of person like other people were, so he now knew that this was a messy situation that he had gotten into to, and the only way to get out of it was to help in any way he could.
