Avery Wyatt's Links
"Ah, Akuri? He's an idiot. I'm pretty sure any one of us you'll ask will give you the same answer, that he's an idiot. I'm pretty sure I thunked him on the head once when we were thirteen and his braincells fell out every day since. But he's not a bad guy -- I bust his chops a lot but, y'know. I like him. Don't-don't, um, if you tell him that, I'll kill you."
"Avery! I love Avery! We've known each other for a long ass time and honestly, I think he's one of my best friends! He's kind of an asshole, I'll admit that, but not in like, a particularly bad way, if that makes sense? I know that he loves me, because I love him! He just has a weird way of showing it."
"Christ, if you're asking everyone about Hendrix you're gonna get a lot of thirsty bitches. Elephant in the room, she's hot. She's also really nice and she cares a little too much, and because of that she gets kind of annoying. I don't really like people who talk a lot, and she talks a lot. But what can you do? She's got a lot of stuff going on. I feel bad for her. I think that's our...Common ground. We bicker at each other but there's this...Tiny dynamic that goes unmentioned, where we know the other's fucking drowning, and we don't know how to save each other. We only really know how to hold on and hope we get out of it."
"Avery's...Interesting. I think that's a bit of an understatement, but it's true. He is a very interesting man, in...Many, many ways. He's had a terrible life and it's resulted in this persona of his. At the very least he isn't aggressive or too much of a dickhead. I make fun of him quite a bit but I do hope he gets help."
"The day we met? Nah, I barely remember that shit, um...I try not to think about shit like that. Ciare was a loser as a kid, and he's still a loser now, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't...Well, I'd be lying if I told you Ciare wasn't important to me. I could sit here, I could go into detail, I could-I could do all of that shit but he'll never see it and he'll never know. And the fact we go around in circles like this, never-never addressing anything means we're both the biggest pieces of shit in the world. I want him to know, but he's Ciare. Of course he thinks otherwise. I'm only waiting for the day he finally figures out he doesn't want me at all. That'll be what does me in. That'll be what hurts more than anything."
"I remember the first day we met Avery. That night was so scary and confusing, it changed our lives forever. Ave's been by our side every day since then, so he's kind of like family. It's a little weird, saying that about him, but it's true. He does everything a normal family member would: He makes me laugh, he makes me do stupid things, he hurts me, he makes me angry. You know, the whole package. Although... Despite all that, he means the world to me. I've risked my life for him, really put my neck out on the line to keep him safe, and I would do it all again in a heart beat. I wish I could say he'd do the same. He's not my brother, or my cousin, or anything like that, but hes definately something. I... I still love him. No matter what. I-I look at him every day and I think to myself; 'I am so happy you're here,' and there will never be a day I think otherwise. I know for a fact he doesn't feel the same way, but I don't care. I cherish every moment I have with him, whether he likes it or not. I enjoy his company and I like talking to him, no matter what about. He's going to have to deal with that- he's going to have to deal with me- loving him, unconditionally, for the rest of his life. I wouldn't trade him for the world."
"Jesus Christ, okay. Okay, okay. Um-Okay! How do I-okay. I...Feel like a fucking teenager around Clara. Like I've always-I know people see me as having this fucking storm cloud over my head sometimes, but like...Clara makes me love the rain. Clara's funny, and she's so goddamn hot, and she's so fucking articulate and smart and just...Dude, I don't know. With her I feel legitimately like I can do anything. No matter how hard she joshes me, no matter what she fuckin' says, I adore that woman. She could call me names for the rest of my life, she could poke my eye out with a fork, and I'd still find it in me to give her a smile, the smallest smile, and ask her how her day was. Jesus-don't-don't let her know. This is embarrassing."
"Avery's... Cool. I mean, hes more than cool. Hes awesome. Hes a rockstar. Hes super popular, strong, handsome, and all that. Hes super successful and can have any woman he wants. I... Still have no idea why he bothers to spend time with me. I'm just some... Some chick, and yet I have a big musician just wrapped around my finger. I don't deserve that! I don't deserve... Him. He has NO idea what he's getting into with me, but he doesnt seem to care. He should care. He should care about himself more than he cares about me, because I don't deserve that. I don't deserve to feel this happy or this loved. I don't deserve to feel adored and beautiful when hes around me. I don't know. I talk with Livia about this a lot. I mean... We also talk smack about him. A lot of smack. Don't want him to get too big of a head, after all."
"Clarence is a great guy. Like, honestly. I think he's possibly the most talented person I've ever met. I kind-I feel like...I dunno, I think there's something there for us, some sorta kindred spirit type shit, and I don't even believe in that sort of thing. I don't like to show it, but I do think that Clarence is beyond anything I could achieve myself. He deserves to be successful, but I....I'm really worried about what the industry could do to him. What it's done to me...I don't want him feeling it, too. Um...Y-. Yeah."
"Ave's one of the chillest guys I know. I love that dude. He's just like, so strong and beautiful. God, talented too. He's a proper rockstar. He's got the whole Miami dream, y'know? Girls, music, money, tour dates... I wish that was me... I look up to Avery so much, it's not even funny. I want to make my music as good as his, one day. I'm... I'm getting there. With his help, of course! He's honestly the only person I'm nervous about showing my music to! Hes a professional, so when I play him my homebrew, indie rap I start hearing every little thing thats wrong with it. That's- That's not a bad thing though! I LOVE that! I don't want to feel like my music is PERFECT, y'know? I want it to be GOOD, and the only way I'm gonna feel good about it is if I apply myself and get picky about the details. It's all about improvement. One day, I'll get the balls he has to make a record, whether that's next month or in another nine years."
"Oh, Duncan's great. Kind of a ditz, kind of out there, but that's what makes him interesting, I think. That's what makes him fun to hang out with, 'cause you never know how shit's going to go with him. It's like hanging out with a puppy. He's pretty high energy and that's somewhere where we're not really level -- I think of myself as significantly more laidback than him -- but...I dunno, I think that's the charm of Duncan. It's hard to feel too down when he's nearby."
"Avery! I love Avery! He's my best friend! He likes music and birds, which is really cute! I love spending time with him. He's also famous! Clara says that famous people are all really stinky, but Ave isn't stinky! He's always so nice to me... I don't know why... He's trying so hard with Ein to make things easier for me. It always makes me feel so... Weird when I think about it. I should be grateful that he's trying to help me by taking care of Hector, but... It just makes me feel bad. He's SO generous and selfless, that we weren't even friends yet when he decided to help me. Isn't that just the nicest thing ever? I try really hard to give back to him, but I bet I'm just annoying him."
"I mean, I guess she's a friend. In some ways I don't like her and in other ways I do. I get she's like-I get she's trying to help me, but at a certain point you expect someone to take the fucking hint. There's a reason I am the way I am, and she has this complex where she just HAS to fix everyone and everything, but some things are just un fucking fixable. I know she means well. I know she has a good cause. I wish I cared either way."
"He's a nice boy. He's one of those people that don't feel like they deserve to be helped. Avery, however, can't comprehend that there can be people who will love him, unconditionally. I know he doesn't appreciate that much. He needs someone who will be there, no matter what, to prove him wrong. He needs someone to listen to him, no matter how bad it gets. He pushes others away, thinking it will confirm his doubts, but he doesn't need that, not really. I'm here for him, so he knows that no matter what he does, there will always be someone to subvert his expectations. I hope, one day, he can come out of this on top."
"She's cool. I don't have a lot to say about her. We're both artsy types, we both love Clara, we both have fucked up faces, though hers is significantly nicer to look at -- I really like Gabs. She's awesome."
"Ahh, Ave's absolutely great. He treats Clara well, and he's kind to me, which is more than I can say for pretty much any other man not in my immediate social circle. If he needs photoshoots, I'm his go-to. It's really skyrocketed me, since he's so popular. He won't admit it but we're both total gossipy hens. It feels nice to have a relationship like that."
"I don't-I regard him more of a friend of a friend. He's definitely the kinda guy I would bully in middle school, since he's friends with Akuri. He's nice, absolutely, but there's like... I dunno. It's hard to talk to him."
"Oh, gosh.... I really like Avery, he's really handsome...But I don't know how to approach him about...Well, about anything... He's not the nicest person in the world, we all know....And I think he does it to keep people from...Really knowing him....I guess it worked...I really don't know him... But his music is nice...And I have a lot I want to talk to him...About, but I don't know how to...."
"Oh dude, Hector's pretty cool, when he's not being a huge fucking dick. We've got some stuff in common, which isn't to say I'm...A fucking ghost or anything, but like, I can actually talk to him. More than other people can actually talk to him. And I think to some degree we can be considered friends -- he gets me in a weird way, one that I don't know if I hate or love, I just know he does. He makes me laugh, too. I dunno. I can't die, so he probably sees me as a buffet that regenerates whatever you eat. It's alright. Whatever keeps him busy."
"Oh, Margo's awesome. She's the lead bassist in Secondhand and one of my favorite people in the world. She doesn't give herself enough credit or enough time and it sucks, but it's a learning curve we all have to go through. Especially me, I know it all too well. I know she'll always be around for me, and I'll be around for her too. I love that girl, and I really just want to see her happy."
"Avery is... Ok, alright, I'll be blunt. Avery is the most important person in my life. Before I met him I was just some girl living in Texas, but now I'm in a band, I'm making music! I'm... I'm who I want to be, with people I want to be with, namely, Avery. My point is I'd do anything for him, and anyone who hurts him is in deep shit. I look after him, he's my boy."
"Charlie's a riot. Yknow, he's a good friend of mine, I think he's fucking awesome and his drum playing is killer. Maybe a little out there. He reminds me of like, a more...Manageable Akuri. Shit if those two met, I dunno what I'd do. Maybe die. Shit. Anyway, yeah, he's cool, I met him when I was doing my whole thing... Did you know you can't pump your own gas in Oregon? Wild."
