Pax, Chapter 2
"I want too introduce you too someone. We don't know much about her, but we know that she's awesome. Welcome Avery!" Mark shouted.

They were halfway through their time on stage. I ran on stage, though I was terrified. Mark handed me an extra mic.

"I just wanna say, Hi Jacelynn!" I yelled.

I saw her wave in the back row.

The rest of the show went well, everyone had their meet and greet, and then the group, my sister, and I properly met.

"So, Avery, why'd you come all the way out too L.A?" Mark asked. "Too escape my parents. They're abusive. Verbally, Sexually, Physically. I finally was able too rent an apartment and here we are. I was able too escape, even if I wasn't able too grab many of my belongings, we got what was most important." I said. "Wow. So you don't plan on ever going back?" Sean asked. "I don't plan on it." I said. "They wouldn't of been abusive if we didn't lose our younger brother." Jacelynn said. "Car crash. I broke my akle, Jacelynn barely escaped with her life. Dad was stuck in the hospital with mom who was in a coma and 8 months pregnant." I sighed, remembering all that happened but shook the thoughts away. "Oh my God..." Mark sighed.

I could tell he was holding back tears.

"I guess the stress built up...it took dad first. He was never violent. Then he called me a slut and a whore because I told him I had a boyfriend." I said, trying not too cry. "I remember him. He was nice." Jacelynn said. "No...he- he wasn't. I didn't wanna tell you because I didn't know if you would understand. He was just like dad, but only too me. I finally broke up with him, and he's stalked me ever since." I said.

Jacelynn's whole expression changed from sad too shocked.

"Of course he was." Jacelynn sighed. "You're really brave kids." Kathryn said. "I guess. You guys helped me keep pushing through it, but I just couldn't take it, and we left." I said. "18 years in that hellhole." I added. "That takes guts, Avery. I'm really proud of you, I could've never done that." Ethan smiled. "It's gonna take some getting used too, but I think we're gonna be good." I said. "How 'bout this, how many bedrooms does your apartment have?" Ethan asked. "5." I responded. "Mark, Tyler, and I stay with you until you get settled." Ethan suggests.

I looked at Mark and Tyler and their expressions already said yes. I looked at Jacelynn and she nodded rapidly.

"Guess we're roommates for a while!" I said. "Fuck yeah! I didn't think you'd actually agree!" Ethan cheered.

I giggled. Jacelynn and I got everyones numbers and then we decided too leave. Mark, Tyler, and Ethan were gonna meet us at the apartment building after Jacelynn and I got our stuff. We quickly got our stuff and ubered too the apartment building where I got everything I needed at the front desk done and went up too my apartment.

"Okay, this is fucking awesome!" Jacelynn looked around the apartment. "It's huge!" Tyler said.

I looked around in awe. This is gonna be one hell of a time.
