Blackwell Daughters

Chapter 1 The Runaways

(Ava's POV)
I hopped out of the second story window and landed almost perfectly on the grass. "Goodbye forever bitch" I thought to myself as I walked out the front gate towards the street, "I'm not gonna miss you at all." I said under my breath. It was 12:30 A.M and I needed to get to the airport by 5 P.M later that evening. In my blacked out MCR backpack was a few band t's, black skinny jeans, a beanie, a lighter, my phone, earbuds, notebook, pens, other clothes, chains, rings, and most importantly The Bastards graphic novel to keep me company. I had to walk 25 miles and stopped at a gas station about half way at 7 A.M to get an early breakfast which was an Ultra Rosa monster energy and a protein bar. "Hey at least I'm eating for once" I thought as I was proud of the fact I was actually eating. I had about another twelve miles to walk but at least I was gonna be on time for my flight that I bought from stealing my moms credit card. I was going to see a Palaye Royale show in Vegas, somewhere that my mom would never find me, and at least I'd get the chance to live a little. I stole 200 dollars from her specifically to see shows and buy some merch.

(Time skip to airport)

As I walk up to security they take my lighter, of course, and ask me questions like "where are your parents?" "Why are you here alone?" I told them I was going to visit my grandma in Vegas and my parents had work. I walk over to the terminal it was about one o'clock so I got to nap for a few hours. I was awoken by a girl who looked about the same age as me asking if the seat next to me at the terminal was taken. "Knock yourself out." I said and went back to sleep. She saw I was really fucking tired so she let me sleep and was nice enough to wake me up when it was time to board the plane.

(Avi's POV)
Time to leave I said. I already know they're going to have questions about why Im leaving and why I am doing what I am doing but they have to understand that I am better off this way. I made sure I had everything I would need to get to Vegas because I wasn't coming back, I packed my charger, lighter, clothes, fake ID's just incase I had to lie about my age considering I don't look like it, and diary incase I needed to write anything down, and finally my bastards graphic novel from Palaye Royale. I looked at the time on my phone it's damn near 12:30 I gotta be at the airport by 5 so I gotta get moving. I made my way out the door quietly making sure no one heard me and that I packed everything, once I was down the road I knew I wouldn't have long to walk sense I lived close to the airport. I only lived about 10 miles so I would make it in time. As I walked, I started thinking about if they would miss me or not and whether or not he would find me. "No he can't find me and they won't miss me because i'm doing the right thing." I had about $900 on me so I knew I had enough money to get a hotel once I got there and for the plane ticket sense I bought it myself. Once I got to the airport and through security I saw this girl who looked about my age and asked if I could sit next to her. She told me it was alright and sense I saw how tired she was I sat next to her and let her sleep. She looked nice and was kind to me so I made sure to wake her up when it was time for our flight. We boarded the plane. Time to start my new life I thought.

(Ava's POV)
I walked onto the plane and immediately shivered. Not gonna miss this ice cold state. A plopped down into my seat and went through my playlist and as I was scrolling to find something to fall asleep to that same girl came down the aisle and sat next to me. I was happy to have the window and to have someone not creepy next to me. I located all the exits so I felt a little more safe. Fucking planes. I hate them with everything in me. Never again am I flying. Planes give me so much anxiety I just had to do something so I asked the stewardess if they had any melatonin she said I had to buy it and I didn't really want to cause I didn't really need it but it would make this flight a lot easier and before I could say anything the girl next to me payed for a small container with 12 pills of strong melatonin. "You didn't have to do that." I said, she smiled and said "I know but I needed some too so why not share." "I'll pay you back." "No it's ok it's only a couple of pills and besides you look like you need them because you're analyzing the whole damn plane like it's gonna blow up any second." I smirked and laughed a bit. "Yeah I have really bad flight anxiety." "Well here take the pills they'll knock you right out so you don't have to deal with it and I'll wake you up again when we need to get off." "Ok thank you. Oh and by the way what's your name?" "It's Avi and you're welcome. What's your name?" "Oh it's Ava Marié but you can call me Ava." "Nice name, goodnight" she said as we both laughed taking the melatonin at the same time. I put on some old Palaye songs like Die For Something Beautiful, White, and Morning Light and drifted off.

(Avi's POV)
As I walked onto the plane, with my ticket in hand I notice that my seat was next to the same girl that I had sat next to. I didn't mind because she seemed really sweet, I was happy that I was finally leaving, but scared at the same time because this would be a huge step for me. As I made my way into the seat I looked at the girl who seemed like she was analyzing the entire plane I figured she had anxiety just as I did. I noticed she asked the stewardess for some melatonin, but the stewardess told her she would have to buy it so I figured I buy it for her considering I would need it too. "You didn't have to do that." she told me, "I don't mind besides I need it too." "I can pay you back." "No need it's only a couple of bucks, and you look like you'll die without those pills." She smirked and I laughed. She told me she had really bad flight anxiety so I told her to take the pills so she can go to sleep and told her I'll wake her up when we land and have to get off the plane. She asked my name and I had told her it's Avi. I honestly think this girl is really cool and that we could be friends. "What's your name?" I asked her. "Oh uh it's Ava Marié but you can call me Ava." "I like that name. Well goodnight Ava." We took the melatonin and drifted off.
