I looked around the room everyone waiting in a terrified manner for my response. I paced back in forth in the room, my eyes hitting everyone's face. I stopped on Tony's and choked down on my words. I then said, "Uh-I, I don't know.". Everyone sighed Tony's eyes full of tears. That night I couldn't sleep I stayed at the house and called my dad telling him I was my friend's house. He believed me, I faced the ceiling and wouldn't talk. I didn't either, Tony stayed by me waiting for my answer. I would dream and wake up every 20 minutes. My mind racing. I would have flashbacks of when I met everyone, it seemed like only yesterday. I wanted to go back and restart. Tell Tony how I felt and protect Doi. Every time I tried to tell Tony my mouth would collapse and my mind would break to the thought of losing Tony.
I woke up the next morning my eyes wet from my nightmare. I remembered bits, I was falling down a dark spiral and couldn't stop. Every time I neared the end it would always expand and my heart sank to think that, that's how everything was now. Every time I tried to escape Roy would bring me back in and I was afraid to think about leaving. The rest of the day was them asking If I was leaving. I wanted to, but my dumb feelings would get in the way sat on the roof top waiting for the sun to go down trying to make my answer. Somehow Harry got a clue was up here and climbed up. He sat down by me startling me. I watched as he sat down and looked at me. His eyes so dull yet full of life. Tears were coming out from the dark. Harry shushed me and brought me closer. I cried more knowing I would give this up. He felt warm and was so big, I didn't notice it till now. We sat like that for a while me bawling my eyes out and Harry telling me everything would be ok. I wasn't until Robin and Doi came out the front door and started yelling Harry's name. I was going to yell them up here but Harry covered my mouth. He told me "Look, Avery, we met almost a year ago and you want to leave now. We have been through so much and you love Tony. I see it every day. Look, I'm not gonna tell you to stay here and live this hell but I will tell you this. If you love us enough stay but if you want your old family back please go join them. They most likely miss you. You are so sweet and so amazing. Don't forget that.". He looked at me and smiled, I laid my tired head on his shoulder and watched the sun go down. My eyes grew tired and my mind wandered off. I remember Harry humming then that same dream.
Though at the end when I was falling Tony and Harry caught me. They both smiled and carried me home. Harry called me a little sister and Tony called me a future lover. I woke up and Harry was asleep on the couch and I was in his arms. Doi was laying on my feet and Robin was laying on Doi. Tony was on the other couch sitting up sleeping and I smiled. I got up and went to my old bedroom now an empty space. I opened the curtains and saw a small cubby on the wall. I opened it, the handle being so cold. I opened it and saw a locket it was gold and read "Avery". I opened it up and saw Tony and me inside. I looked more and in the cubby, there was a note it said: "Give this to Avery before she leaves.". I held the locket and looked outside the now rising sun shined on the locket making a bright light appeared. I put it on then turned around holding the note. There in the doorway was Tony. I stepped backed and fell Tony in front vanished and he caught me and picked me up. "So what will it be?". I looked at him and looked at the locket. Harry, Robin, and Doi were in the doorway standing there patiently waiting. I then looked at Doi his eyes changed there standing in front of me was a little girl. Her hair brown like mine with navy blue streak running through it. She wore a blue skirt and a white shirt. Her eyes were red and pretty. She smiled and laughed and said in the most beautiful British accent "hehe, mommy why is daddy holding you like that?". I flipped back to the real world and Doi looked at me. He waited for me to answer his question. "What?". I said confused he said, "Will you stay?". I thought of the little girl and stood up, Tony let me go and looked at me. I smiled and said, "Of course!".
Tony jumped towards me with tears coming down his eyes. Harry, Robin, and Doi all jumped too. Them now laughing and crying. Everyone else asked what happened. Robin proudly got up and said, "AVERY IS STAYING!!". Everyone turned their attention towards me and started to tear up too. After 10 minutes of telling my parents where I would be for the rest of me life we all got together and watched the snow fall. Doi wanted to go outside and jumped towards the door and said: "Let's go!". I followed him and went outside it felt nice the snow coming down to land on my head. Tony came out and brought me a coat and said: "Here you get cold my little snowflake. ". He put the coat on me and walked away. It was happening a sense of excitement and fear, caution and carefree, love and hate. I grabbed Tony hand pulled him around and kissed him on the lips. My heart melted, his kiss was warm. It was super cold out and my jacket fell in the process of this but Tony made warm within a second. The whole world stopped the snowflakes stopped coming down. Everyone stopped playing, The only thing was moving was me and Tony. Also my heart racing. I didn't want to let go, I didn't want to stop. If felt warm it felt nice. I did though Tony let go and I pulled away. His eyes were warm and soft. He places his hand on my cheek and I place my hand over his. We look at each other trying to figure out, are we now a thing? My head was in so many places at once but my eyes and heart were in the same spot.
