Roland, asking the question of Avery wanting to stay with him at a home that wasn’t even of his, made him feel uneasy fro some sort of reason, knowing that Steven’s parents might not be open to the idea of someone else staying in their home, but also knowing that they are very nice and kind people, he assumed that they wouldn’t have a problem with it hopefully. He knows he’ll have to ask them first, but he also knew not to ask Steven what he thinks on it either.

After he asked the question to her, Avery’s response being for an ok go as long as she wouldn’t be any trouble to them, he smiled at her spoke following her response. [i]“You won’t be any trouble,”[/i] he said, [i]“I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t mind. Steven on the other hand…..well……he’ll eventually get over it.”[/i]

A minute later, Avery was telling Roland how sleepy she was feeling and that she was in need of rest for now, but also told him that he could stay if he wanted to. Once hearing that, he couldn’t make up his mind if he should stay or head back home, yet knowing he had school as well and not wanting to miss a day or two, the current situation was more important. Just then after, a nurse came in right after Avery fell asleep, stating that visiting hours were almost over and that he would need to leave Avery’s room for tonight.

[i]“Y-yeah, ok,”[/i] he said, hesitant on what to do and say, but stood in place for a moment as the lights in the room dimmed while Avery slept. He really didn’t want to leave, but seeing that he has no relation to her, he didn’t have a choice either.

Soon after, when Roland turned around to leave the room, the officer from earlier came in to see Roland and ask if he needed anything, such as to make a phone call or a ride, and Roland answered his question to what he wanted to do.

[i]“Um, well I know I’m probably going to need a ride,”[/i] said Roland to the officer, [i]“Since I no other way to go of course. But…um…. I’ll also need to tell them what’s up as well, so if you have a phone, sir, could I use it for a moment?”[/i]
