I know you've had about a twelve second wait for this chapter right? Nice. I don't give a damn at the moment. Read it. Love it. Hate it. I don't care. Disclaimer: I don't own these legends. I own only the mind which creates this story and the sick, twisted, warped things that come out of my mouth and find their way onto these disclaimers from time to time.
Liz POV
I picked up my phone and dialed Avan.
Victoria's POV
This was about the time my "date" with Ryan was supposed to end. He played a large part in this right now.
I picked up my phone to call Avan, like I had promised him earlier.
Avan POV
I was laying on my couch when my phone rang.
It was Victoria.
Oh, yeah. She was gonna call me and tell me about her date with Ryan Rottman.
"Hey, Vic." I said.
I heard tears in the background.
"A-Avan," She cried.
"What happened Vic?" I asked hastily, standing up.
"He-he didn't show. Then I saw a video of him that was taken tonight. It was him with some other girl!" She sobbed.
I'm gonna kill that guy.
My phone signalled an incoming call. It was Liz.
Whatever it was, it could wait. It was probably her just wanting to chat and stuff. Yeah, it could wait a little while.
"Don't move, Vic. I'll be right over." I told Victoria, ignoring Liz's call.
Liz's POV
Why wasn't he answering?
I left him a message then waited.
Then I called again.
Seven times.
And left messages.
Seven times.
Message one wasn't as shaky as the next six.
He never ignored my calls.
What if he had been hurt in some way?
What if he was with Victoria?
No, she was on her date with Rottman.
What's going on?
I need Avan right now, and he's not answering my calls.
I laid back on my bed, panicking now.
I didn't want to go into the darkness of dpression and sadness. I hated that place, and here it was, opening its fiery gates of gloom.
Where is he when I need him?
Avan POV
Liz kept calling me, but Vic needed me right now, so I went to her.
I walked into her place and she threw her arms around me.
Her tears and makeup got on my jacket, but I let it go.
"It's alright," I soothed.
"Why would he do that?" She said into my jacket.
"I-I don't know. Maybe he just can't see how special you really are," I said.
Liz called repeatedly, but I put it on vibrate.
"It's okay," I said. "You'll find someone else."
"But he's just so..." She trailed off.
My phone vibrated ten minutes later. I'd spent about half an hour at Vic's and figured I could at least check the message.
She had gone to the bathroom anyway.
The text was from Liz.
From: Liz McGillies
To: My Hero (She'd apparently changed the names on our phones)
Why aren't you answering me?
I didn't have time for this, even though I loved the new names on our phones. I'd have to comment on that later.
Liz Gillies
From: My Hero
To: Liz McGillies
I don't have time for these games right now, Liz.
He thought I was playing games.
My tears began to get heavier, just like the rain outside.
Avan POV
From: Liz McGillies
To: My Hero
I'm not playing games, Avan! I need you, and if you'd have answered your phone, you'd know that! I'm sorry I'm a bother to you. I really am.
Wait, what?
What did she mean, she's a bother to me?
Liz POV
The tears fell faster with every character that I typed.
I really didn't mean to be a bother to Avan. I was sorry that I was, and I knew then that I had just about gone over the edge of the cliff, into the endless sea of sadness, with dark, curling waves that grabbed you and squeezed you until every last tear has been cried and every last emotion has been used to its max.
From: My Hero
To: Liz McGillies
What do you mean 'a bother'? You're NOT a bother!
My heart hurt and ached and my head pounded.
I wanted the pain to go away. I didn't want Avan to have to carry my burdens, but he said he didn't mind at all, and that he'd always be there if I needed him, but where was he now?
My Hero.
I should change it back to Avan.
Avan POV
I received her next text.
From: Liz McGillies
To: My Hero
Just forget it, Avan. I needed you here to comfort me, and help me, but I don't care anymore. I know you're with Vic and you can stay with Vic, because I'm already gone.
Stay with Vic, because I'm already gone, Her words stuck on repeat in my head.
I'm already gone...
Liz POV
I wanted him to be here with me.
To hold me like he was holding Victoria after her heartbreak with Ryan.
But that wasn't going to happen.
He didn't reply to my last message.
He was probably in Victoria's room, fooling around and not caring how close to falling I was.
All I wanted was for him to be the hero that his screen name says he is.
I wanted him to save me.
To save me before I fall.
What's going to happen? Well, hold your freaking horses, cause I'm updating as we speak, so there! Happy? Well great, cause I'm not. Enjoy my story.
