Roland watched while Avery had reacted to all the things he had said to her, giving her the hopes that things will get better and be resolved in her life. Unfortunately for him, things were still working the other way around due to Avery’s disbelief on happiness or tranquility. He listened to her reply, defying everything that he had said to her and making it all sound impossible and hopeless for her life to become better. He also noticed that she had mentioned that she lives a few houses down from him, yet very surprised at first, he found it to be useful to know of it and kept it in mind. He thought to himself of how it could be of an advantage just in case if she was in need of something, that is if she’ll let him help with anything.

As she finished off saying how the world she is in is not a safe place for anybody, following that even with his promise that she still can’t believe it will become stable, Roland started to feel somewhat hopeless himself because he wasn’t getting through to her. He sighed and got himself off of the seat that they were both sitting on only to begin pacing back and forth in front of table with an upset look on his face. It was rare anymore for Roland to get upset or angry, even sad from getting over his past, but in this situation he couldn’t think or function right because of Avery’s disapproval of his help. He knew on how stubborn she was as he got to know her a little better on her personality, but now he felt that she was taking it just a little too far. He felt that this was a big and huge complication of events, and that something had to be done before it gets worse.

[i]“I don’t understand.”[/i] said Roland as he continued walking back and forth trying to make sense of what to do and say. [i]“You won’t let me help you, and it surely seems that you don’t want anyone to interfere with getting you away from him. I mean, it’s like you don’t want things to change or else you would of said yes.”[/i] Roland stopped pacing himself, running his fingers through his hair trying to relieve his self of the stressful feeling he felt as if he didn’t how to fix anything or help anyone.

[i]“Why won’t you let me help you instead of being a pessimist about everything?!” [/i]
