Being a Rowland

Paige's POV•

Their show was going well until this one girl had to say something that was not needed. I watched as Ava ran off of the stage and into the lobby. Why did t anyone follow her to make sure she's okay?

I pushed my way through the mob of girls still watching the show. I made my way over to the one girl and slapped her. She tried to slap me back but I was already in the lobby.

"Are you okay, Ava?" I asked.

"Y-yeah. It's just hard not being to tell people everything."

"You can spill to me. It's fine. I won't tell anyone unless you tell me to," I said.

"Well, first of all, I was never acting rudely to her. She was the one giving me the death stare when she was getting pictures with Blake."

"I know. I saw. She's probably just jealous of you."

"Probably. Second, I'm still trying to recover. My parent died in a car accident when we were on vacation in Arizona..."

"Ava, I'm so sorry to hear that!"

"It's okay. Don't apologize because it's not your fault. Third, I'm the kind of person who is nice to everyone and I'm very warm and open so when people try to say otherwise, it releases all of my emotions that have built up."

"Aw. Just promise me you won't make any stupid choices."

"I promise."

Just then, Hunter, Brandon, Ashton, and their mom enter the lobby.

"Ava! Are you okay? Should we just leave and go back home?" Asked Hunter's mom.

"I-I think I'll be fine. Just go in and finish your show. In gonna head up to my room," said Ava. They nodded, still looking scared and worried.

"Ava, here's my number. If you need anything you can text or call me. You can block your number if you want too." I said, looking out for my new friend.

"Okay. Well, you should probably go back in and finish watching the show. I'm gonna head upstairs to my room and take a nap."
