Avery Collins has always wanted to move out. She live with her Aunt and Uncle since she was 3 years old from neglectful parents just for her aunt and uncle never to pay attention to her. Avery's best friend Riley was the only one who was there for her. Tomorrow, Avery's 17th birthday she's finally moving out. She's moving from New York to LA to live in an apartment with her best friend Riley. Avery is sitting in her room, finishing packing the last box her suitcase and her carry-on and is finally accepting the fact she never has to be here again. She never had a good childhood. Nothing seems nostalgic to her. Everything is just a blur. a blur that she closed out in her mind because she doesn't think it matters that much.

AVERY POV

I get a call from my phone. I practically jump on my bed to reach. My phone is a call from the contact soul sister. Soul sister being Riley. As soon as I see it, I jump out of my bed prop my phone up on my suitcase and answer.
