Once Roland had gotten up to his feet and made the offer for Avery to take a bath while he cleaned up a little bit, she then decided to stand on her feet as well while still messing with her hair. She had also followed up with a question asking to what she was going to wear after doing so because the outfit that she already had on, well, it was her only outfit. She came across also saying that a bath sounded really good to her as she was still playing with her hair whilst saying so. Roland smiled at her and began to answer her question once she was finished.

“I think I have a pair of pajama’s in my room that are clean and I barely wear them so you can use those if you want.” As he finished, he went right across her so that he could try to get her some clean clothes so that she would have something to wear after she finished bathing. All of a sudden, she popped another question to him before he could make it into his room, asking if she could borrow a pair of scissors to cut her hair. At first, Roland didn’t know what to think, only to assume though that she was going to cut herself, but afterwards she explained that she cuts her own hair and had no intention of doing such a thing. “Uhh…..yeah….sure……just uh….give me a minute,” he said.

As Roland went into his room, he opened his top drawer to grab a pajama shirt and pants that were folded up so that he could give them to Avery. Then, he placed the pair of pajama’s down onto his bed to grab a pair of scissors out of his desk drawer near his bed so that he could give those to her as well. He thought at first it wasn’t a good idea knowing the state of mind that Avery was in and how fragile she was that she would do something drastic, but she had seemed honest about everything else, and seeing as how it all made sense, the only thing he could do was trust her. He closed his top drawer with the scissors in his hands, worried still that she would try something suicidal, and grabbed the pajama’s off his bed and went back into the main room. “All right, here you go,” said Roland once he approached Avery and handed her what he had to give her.

Roland had suspected enough that after everything he had said, he knew that Avery was just going to fill in everything he said to her with nothing but depressive statements of pessimism and doubt. It seemed as if he almost gave into it himself at first when all of this had started, but he knew that he would have to work his way around all the negativity and focus on how to solve her problem on her abusive father. She then began to droop and sit before him stating on how she feels trapped in a dark hole that she feels her father had made, saying that she wishes every day that her father would become his old self again. She then looked at him, a look he hasn’t seen on her face before that he didn’t know what to make of it. He felt as if she was just crying for help inside herself, but didn’t know what exactly to do and seemed as if nothing would ever work to make things better.

“Hmmm…..” said Roland to himself as he kneeled down to where Avery was sitting in front of him. Instead of going on about convincing her on how he will help her, he stayed quiet for a minute just to think while he looked at the floor instead of looking straight at her, for he knows she will just look at him awkwardly. He began to think on what she had said earlier, like on how her father was still her legal guardian and how she couldn’t leave until she at least 18 and not a minor anymore. He could probably find a solution out of those examples and put them intact for planning on how to get Avery away from her father, or at least for the time being. Just then, he noticed that Avery was playing with her hair somewhat, although it didn’t look conditioned very well, he decided to stop planning to himself for a minute to make his attention back to her.

Roland grinned at her before he could make her an offering on something that she probably needed as of now. “I tell you what. Why don’t you head back into our bathroom and take a bath, just to….you know….clear your mind and relax for a bit.” Roland then pulled himself back up onto his feet and wiped the dirt from the floor on his knees. “I’ll be in here cleaning up our mess while you do so, okay?”

Roland was relieved that he stopped Avery before she could head out and not come back, but then realizing that he had grabbed her arm in the attempt to stop her, and seeing her reaction as he was hurting her in doing so, felt to him that it was necessary in order to get her attention before leaving. She yelled for him to let go and said to him that she’ll just go to the park and stay the night there, but Roland wasn’t going to let her. Afterwards, she pushed his hand off of her arm and gripped it from the aftermath of pain that arose, and he began to feel bad for what he had done to her. “Sorry.” said Roland, for that was all he could really say.

She then began to talk of how she felt screwed up and kept talking down about herself. She kept rambling on how other people would call her names and tell her that she just needs to die, and aware of what they think as well. As for Roland, he never thought that she was a freak or anything else in the matter, but just as a person in need of help from a horrible predicament that seemed to only get worse with each day. He too has had troubles in the past as well, stuff that he grew from that made him stronger as a person, so he only hoped that he could use what he had learned to win over Avery and make her see what needs to be done in order for peace to come back into her life.

“Don’t listen to any of them.” said Roland as he tried to find the right words to make Avery feel better and hope that she will let him help her out of the mess she is in. “It doesn’t matter what they think because they don’t know the truth. The only thing that matters right now is that you are safe and away from the abusiveness.” Roland walked up to her and placed both of his hands onto her shoulders as he was trying to make her feel better yet again.

“You keep talking down about yourself like you shouldn’t even exist, or that you should just drop dead and no one will even notice or care, but it ain’t true. Nothing or what anyone says out there matters. The thing that matters most is that your ok and away from all of that.” A small indication of a smile formed on Roland’s face as he continued to lift Avery’s spirits up. “Whatever problems you are having, I promise you I’ll help you in any way possible and assure you that you won’t face them alone.”

“Even if you are a little stubborn.” Roland said while he giggled as he was in high hopes that what he was saying was working.

As frustrated as Roland was, he heard out on what Avery had to say for herself as she started to defend her father on all the troubles that were caused by their past. She explained to him that she still cares for her father, even though she gets beaten and treated like dirt, in hopes that he could one day rid of his drunken aggression and back to his normal self again. It seemed as if she had deluded herself in hopes of happiness would return to her father, like if she had lost the reality of the fact that what he was doing to her was wrong but she accepted it anyways only to wait to see if he would one day come back to his senses to realize what he is doing to her. She kept speaking adding that she was afraid to leave him, yet she wants to get away from him because of the brutal stuff that he does to her, but to Roland it didn’t make any sense. The fact that she had high hopes for him to reach his sanity and come back as a caring loving father was probably long gone, although Roland didn’t want to admit that to her.

“Well maybe-” Said Roland as he tried to speak up but became interrupted by what Avery had to say next. She had apologized to him for being stubborn and not cooperating, and decided that she would find someplace else to stay instead. What she had said made Roland confused while she started to grab her belongings and head straight towards the front door to exit. He didn’t know what to do, but he did not mean anything offensive or mean, and sure didn’t want her to leave because of his frustration. He hasn’t been mad or frustrated for the longest time since he always tried to stay a positive type person, but the troubles presented to him was confusing that he didn’t know what to make of it.

He did know one thing for sure though, and that was he didn’t want Avery to leave and go back to her home so that she could become a punching bag for her father. “Avery….WAIT!!” exclaimed Roland as he ran to the front door and guarded it to prevent Avery from leaving. “Please don’t leave. I didn’t mean anything bad. I just want to help you.”

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 don’t understand.” said Roland as he continued walking back and forth trying to make sense of what to do and say. “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.” 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.

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

Roland listened as Avery kept speaking about how her dad hits on her and blames her for his wife and her mother leaving them to go stay with someone else who’s rich. Roland noticed that every time she had to bring up her father, she would tremble and curl up into a fetal position because of all the bad things that she would mention and probably think of. Seeing her like this made him fell really bad for her, yet already making a decision that he was going to help anyway he could, he continued to listen to her speak of her disastrous events from her life in the past and currently. After brining up again on how’d she would disappear and no one would care, and following the poker game with what events follow with it, Roland went to think about why her dad would just do something like that. Beating his own child, treating her like she is nothing, blaming her for the pain he endured of his wife leaving, the brutal things that he does to her doesn’t make anything right.

Roland knew that something had to be done about the man, but he didn’t want things to turn into a bigger disaster, or worse, so he decided to forget about him right and focus on Avery. After she finished, he looked at her to speak. “(Sighs) I mean…..it’s….a lot to….y-you know comprehend with because it’s…. really tragic, especially that it’s still going on.” He raised his arm to place his hand upon her shoulder so that she would feel better and supported. “But think of it this way, he’s not around here to do anything bad, and you’re not over there to succumb to……well……all those things you mentioned.”

Roland didn’t want to bring up on how she gets hit and beaten by her father because it would make her upset and crawl back to another corner, but instead tried to keep her calm and relaxed. “And….maybe you might have to deal with it tomorrow, but then again maybe not, you never know what could happen. But let me tell you something. You won’t face this alone anymore. Any possible way, anything I can do, I’ll help you and not give up one bit.”

I promise.

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.

He began to speak up, yet he was still not sure on what to do. “It explains a lot. The way you’ve acted towards me and everything. Still……your fathers in the wrong. But I have to ask…..why haven’t you tried to calling police or something? Does anyone else know about this?”

Avery didn’t seem too happy when Steven left, although she never looks happy, because of what he had said before he left, making her feel unwanted as she told Roland. He gave her an explanation as to why he acted the way he did. “It isn’t that, he’s just ticked off at me right now. He’ll get over it anyway.” He then continued over towards the sofa that Avery was sitting on and decided to sit next to her.

He tried to relax himself and sighed for a moment because he knew what was to be brought up next, but hopefully Avery would cooperate with him so that he could help her out of the mess she was in. “So….” he said, speaking to her in a low tone so he wouldn’t upset her or get her angry or ball up against the corner again, “about what you told me……it’s all true, isn’t it?” He hoped that she could just be lying or telling stories because an abusive parent is something frightening and awful. He has had troubles in his past as well, but nothing as bad as the situation with Avery. He then decided to scoot over a little towards her, hoping that she would give him an honest answer.

Once the door finally opened and Avery came out, arguing about her privacy, Steven’s didn’t know what to think or what to say after seeing her in their household. She also stated as a reminder to them that if a door is locked to next time knock before entering, but Steven stood speechless with a surprised confused look on his face. Afterwards, she grabbed Steven’s wallet and handed it to Roland then began to head back to the main room and sit back down, while Roland tried to hand back Steven’s wallet. “Well, here ya go.” said Roland as he slapped the wallet onto Steven’s chest giving it back to him in a funny manner.

“What in the world is she doing in our house?” said Steven sounding confused yet somewhat angry due to the unexpected visitor that he had witnessed. “One day I decide not to come back due to other plans, and then you bring her around because of god knows what, and-” Steven became interrupted from his babbling as Roland tried to get him to be quiet so that he could explain. “HEY HEY STEVEN…..Steven, listen to me.”

When Roland got Steven to be quiet, he began to state why Avery was there. “I let Avery come over here because she didn’t want to go home tonight. Now I can’t exactly tell you why because….well……I’m not sure either, but it was either here or probably the park down the street. Now you definitely know how that place is at night, and you know I’m not letting anyone even go near that place when it’s dark let alone sleep there.” Steven opened his wallet to make sure that everything was there, and replied to what Roland said.

“Yeah……I guess you’re right.” said Steven agreeing with Roland. “But I’m not sleeping on the sofa tonight, you can forget it.”

Roland then rolled his eyes due to Steven’s remark as they both headed back into the main room. “It’s fine, she’ll probably have my bed and I’ll sleep in here.” said Roland as he looked at Avery for a second with a small glimpse of a closed smile as he showed Steven to the door. “Shouldn’t you be going….where is it you are going?” questioned Roland, noticing that Steven didn’t tell him on his little activity he was heading off to.

“Uhhhh………..I’ll tell you later, right now I got to go. Later!” said Steven as he proceeded out the door and closed it behind him. Roland shook his head after he left due to his ridiculousness and made his attention back to Avery and spoke. “Sorry about all that”
