"Dinner's all d-" Avanna began, there was a rather loud knocking on the front door. She took off her apron and answered the door. "Hel-" The 4 Iwatobi swim club boys were standing at her door.
"We need some help." Makoto said.
"What's up?" They all looked depressed and worried, and Nagisa had refused to step inside.
"Nagisa has run away from home and won't tell us why." Haru said.
"We were hoping you could help." Rei said, "It was Makoto's idea."
"Yeah. You are really easy to talk to and have a lot of great advice. I hope this isn't a bad time or anything." Makoto stated. Avanna nodded and walked past them without a word. She went outside, not bothering with a jacket or shoes. They followed behind her and stood at the door.
"Nagisa-chan?" She called out. He sat on the front stoop, not saying anything. Avanna sat down next to him. "I know I haven't known you as long as the others, so you would be less likely to tell me whats going on but I know you know that we are all here for you. No matter what you are doing, what you've gone through, and the choices you make. Whether you need advice or just someone to listen to you, all of us are here for that. If you don't want to get us involved in something, then we will respect that, but you are causing us to worry, and none of us will be able to even sleep knowing that something is bothering you. I know it is selfish of me to ask something like this of you at this time, but could you at least tell us whats going on?"
"My parents..." Nagisa choked out. "I haven't been getting good grades, a-and they said, that I would have to quit the swim club."
"If your grades are the problem, I could always help you study. We would improve your gr-" Rei started.
"Once they tell me I can't do something, they'll never allow it." Nagisa said.
"If we just told them cl-" Rei began again.
"I'm telling you, they just won't listen!" Nagisa yelled. Avanna put a hand on his back, cautiously. He sighed, looking down at his feet. Just seconds later his phone buzzed and before Avanna knew what was happening, they all left.
