Changing Avery

What would you do, if one moment, you were living a life no one would ever want to hear about, in a town no one had ever heard of, and then the next; you were living the high life, travelling around the globe with the world’s hottest band?

It’s the kind of stuff teenage girl fantasies are made of, but what happens when it becomes a reality? Avery always wanted to be different … I guess she should have specified exactly how different she wanted things to be, because this kind of different might just be a little too much for her.

Seventeen and blowing out her birthday candles, Avery’s life goes from nonexistent to weird and weirder over night, when she wakes up to find boy band ‘Chronic’ in her dining room. If she thought things couldn’t get any stranger Colton Prescott, the bands lead singer, is supposedly her boyfriend.

The only people who didn’t seem to know this were her and Colton.

"Avery" Colton whispered.

"How long are we going to live like this? How long are we going to stay in the dark for? We walk around every day, playing the part that was given to us by who knows what, pretending to be something we aren’t; lying to the people we care about most. And it hurts. Its hurts to do that"

They seem to have the same problem; waking up to find their world has been flipped upside down and no one will believe them. No choice but to pretend, they realise there is reason neither of them are actors.

Heads will clash and the truth will become known but will any good come of any of it?

"Change. It was all I ever wanted. And now here it was, holding my hand, begging me to come away with it. How could I say no? If I did, I would always wonder, what if? And I don’t think I could ever live with myself ...

... I don’t think I could live with a what if?"
