Avery's POV:


I woke up from my bed, my eyes were still heavy after last night's event. I drank too much alcohol, that's why my state is still high until right now. I've never been drunk like this, sure I drink alcohol but last night my alcohol intake was intense. My head's still burning, but my walking was stable. Reuniting with my family was the best moment in my life.

Home felt such a special place in my heart, I've desired my efforts of being in LA as I elongated too much staying there. Here I was, finally in my home place.

I made my way downstairs, and there I saw my family was already done eating their breakfast, mom and dad made their ways to their respective works, Ben has to work on researching and analyzing the chemical processes especially in metals since he was a metallurgical engineer. Fred has a blueprint to finish on, one of his clients was planning to build a ten-story building, on the other hand, Chris was given an assignment to explore the depths of the Bahama Beach. Patrick had to go to school, so that he can achieve his passion of being a graphic designer.

First, I made my breakfast - a ham sandwich, I turned my music on from my phone, Last Nite by The Strokes was playing.

There was a note on the table and an envelope on it;

"Ave, I checked our mailbox, someone just sent you a letter. Had to give you this in case if you'd like to read it. Sorry for leaving you behind, I hope you're feeling better after last night's. Love ya lil sister! Wish me luck! - Patrick aka Burger Patty

Patty's being a child sometimes. I laughed to myself.

I smiled, when I opened the envelope, another letter from Alex, it was designed with flowers and stars, he's really an adorable artist in my eyesight. As I took a bite of my sandwich, I carefully read down at his letter;

Hey there, Avery!!

How's the feeling of being back home again? I have to tell ya, we're in New York city right now for the second to the last leg of the American tour. Next stop after New York would be Seattle, of course. After this, we'd be filming music videos for the selected songs from the album while on the verge of the UK and European tour!

Let me tell you some good news, Suck it and See just reached #1 in the UK charts! That's fucking crazy isn't it? Meanwhile in the US, it reached #2 and #6, I hated the fact when the album's banned in other parts of the States due to its title, now I hate being American haha!

Hey, it's okay of knowing about The Last Shadow Puppets recently. It's not late at all but the least I did was to mention about Miles in our conversation.

I really love how the love story of your parents started, same goes to mine but I can't tell it to you cause it's a long story. Also, what's your favourite song from Queen? Mine is Another One Bites the Dust.

Promise me that, love. Sometimes, we really face hectic problems in our lives, but the most important thing is we survived throughout the hardest paths, like being escaped from the fires of hell.

I already gave Bridgette's number to Jamie, guess what, when he started talking to her, he rarely talks to us, poor Jamie being addicted to a certain girl immediately.

Don't worry Ave, been a dork since. I really am not good at keeping stuffs in the deepest possible. I'm too dumb at handling things, Matt already told Nick and Jamie. Fuck I'm being exposed by them, at least they didn't have to tell this to the press, I mean it's too personal for us to say this.

As I end this letter may I ask you if what's your favourite lyric of a song? Mine would be 'Little darlin', it feels like years since it's been here' from the song Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles.
