**Avery POV**

I'm waking up to ash and dust

I wipe my bnrow and I sweat my rust

I'm breathing in the chemicals

I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus

This is it, the apocalypse

Whoa

I remember listening to this song the day it came out. I sometime love to remember the past but other times it just scares the shit out of me. I have been proud of my self my whole life but theren are some points when I really was not. 

"What you think about." Connor grabbed my hand and I jumped we were going to California with all the guys so they could meet up with people, even though we were going in like 5 months for VidCon. It was our spring break. We were spending the first day on a plane. Did I ever mention I hate heights. And did I ever mention I have never been on a plane.

"Holy shit you scared me. I was just trying to get my mind off this whole flying thing by listening to music."

"What you don't like flying?"

"No I don't like heights that much. And this is my first time on a plane, unless my mom packed me in a suitcase to go on vacation."

"Oh I didn't know I should have told you we were going on a plane first." 

"No its ok. At least Raynah's here too so I have both you guys." I went to see if Raynah was listening. When I turned to see her she was passed out. Like there was no way to wake her up right now she was in a deep sleep. So I grabbed Connor's hand and fell asleep on his shoulder. I felt safe with Connor like no one could touch me. About 4 hours later I felt like someone was walking under me. I was waking up. I heard the flight attendents saying have a nice day. I opened my eyes to see Connor carrying me. "Connor I am up. I can walk now if you don't wanna carry me."

"No I fine carrying you." His voice was shaky. Something had to be wrong he kept looking back. Why? I then heard Kian scream Connor's name.

"CONNORR!"

"KIANN!"

"You remember Andrea right?"

"Yea. Hey. This is Avery. Avery this is Andrea. Um how about we go to the hotel."

"How about you put me down and tell me what wrong and don't lie to me."

"Fine I'll put you down but nothings wrong." Just as he put me down I heard the worst thing I could hear.

"See they are trying to kidnap my daughter. Please help her she's my baby and I love her." I froze. I could feel my legs getting uneasy. Everyone stared around. Andrea stood there wondering what was going on. As soon as I knew it the security men were over by us.

"Um excuse me all you kids have to come with us."

"What did we do wrong we are just picking up our friends?" Andrea had no clue about my past and I really didn't want to explain. I soon felt a had grip my shoulder. A stinging feeling ran through all my scars. 

"Baby please stop running away from me."

"I will when you stop looking for me."

"Now don't talk to your mother like that."

"I told you, you aren't my mother. You lost your privileges after you let them take me away from you."

"Oh come on don't cause a sence again."

"I have forms saying you are not allowed 3,000 feet near me. Your violating those papers right now."

"Look those papers mean nothing. You came out of me. I brought you into this world and I can take you out."

"I know you have already tried to." Andrea was getting nervous, I saw her grab Kian's hand.

"I would never hurt you princess."

"What meds do they have you on now. Cause maybe they would have the same effect on me. Maybe if I took them I would care two shits about you, but since I don't have them I don't care two shits about you at all."

"Look I messed up, I know I did. Just please let me make it up to you."

"Why should I you ruined my life. Your just a giant screw-up. And I get to live my life saying my 'mother' is a giant screw-up that dosen't know how to take care of people."

'WHY WON'T YOU GIVE ME A FUCKIN' CHANCE."

"I will never listen to you after what you did to me the scars and bruises might disappear from the outside but they never disappear from the inside." I knew from what I said, what was to come next. She lounged at me and put her hands around my neck. They tried and tried to get her off me but nothing worked. I could feel everything going blank. But before everything did she stopped. I looked into her eyes with all the energy I had and I saw something in her eyes that I have only seen in my fathers and in my friends. I saw that she cared, but why? Why now in my life does she care? I then felt everyone surround me but I just couldn't look away from my mothers eyes. They helped me up and sat me in a chair. The guilt flashed over my mothers face. I have never seen her like this. She was my mom and I was letting them take her from me. Connor got up from the floor and went to go sit next to me and cuddle me into his chest. But I pushed him away, why did I do that? I loved him, he loved me. I got up and ran and hugged my mother. I then heard the words I never thought I would hear.

'I'm sorry." This time she wasn't lying. She was crying. She smelt like flowers not weed and alcohol. "I changed since the last time I saw you I just want you to see that please."

"I see it and I am sorry too."

"No you have nothing to be sorry about I ruined your life. I wasn't ready to be a parent. I LOVE YOU!" She kissed my check. I felt my heart become full. I finally had that motherly love I have been missing.

"I LOVE YOU TOO!" I kissed her check back.
