Broken, Healed, and Shattered Chapter Three

Yeah yeah I know.. It's been forever.. I have been crazy busy with school, marching band, keeping up my grades and all of that lovely normal school dramatics. I just wanted to let you guys know that I haven't abandoned you or anything it's just been rough lately so I apologize for somewhat failing in my duty as a faithful writer to you guys. I just feel awful about that so I decided to get myself back in the game (much like our pal Charlie Kenton). I am currently watching Real Steel and I got some inspiration so I figured "Hey I finished my homework and I'm drinking my tea.. How about an update?" So without further ado I give you the next installment of B,H,and S..

-Little Miss Purple

Avalon laughed with her boyfriend as we entered Amanda's house. She supposed it was her house as well now, since she lived with her mother now. Charlie and Max were in town for a few days to hang out before Max had to go back to his Aunt Debra's for the school year. Then it would just be video calls and seeing each other on break until the summer. "Hey guys we're back!" She announced as they headed upstairs. The truth was Avalon secretly hoped that Amanda had forgotten about her daughter's commitment to her training for at least an hour every day. It's not that she didn't want to train it was just that she felt like she a needed a free day. Once they got upstairs, the two of them headed over to her room, figuring that Charlie and Amanda were in the workshop or office.

"I can't believe this the last time I get to see you for the next 9 months. " Max remarked as the two of them laid on Avalon's bed, staring up at the ceiling and listening to the music that played through the speakers she had set up around her room, to have that pseudo- surround sound feel. The young girl sighed, closing her eyes listening to the sound of Max's heartbeat as her head rested on his chest.

"Yeah I mean we'll video chat every week but it still won't be the same as being with you in person. I'll miss you like crazy." The brunette told him, looking up into the endless pool of blue in her boyfriend's eyes. She didn't want this summer to end. Especially since she would be going to a new school, where most kids spent their summers at the pool or at amusement parks. So when she was asked about what she had did all summer, telling the class that she spent her summers sleeping on a shelf and robot boxing with two guys didn't seem like the best way to make new friends.

The two were interrupted by a familiar dark-haired ex-MMA fighter peeping their head into the room. "Hey Av, ready for some training?" Amanda asked her daughter.

Sighing, Avalon nodded, realizing that she couldn't talk her way out of this one and began getting ready to do some sparring.

That Monday..

Avalon checked her schedule as she walked into her first period for the day, History. One of her least favorite subjects. She took a seat towards the back, hoping to blend in. She really didn't want her teacher to be one of those teachers that insist that the new kid stood up in the front of the class to talk about themselves. Avalon looked up from the book she was reading, hearing someone sit down into the seat next to her. She looked up to at least who had been brave enough to sit down next to her. It was a kind of tall Asian girl with long dark hair that was unbelievably straight. The girl gave Avalon a sickly sweet smile as she stuck out her hand to shake. "My name's Kara. Kara Mashido."

One thought crossed through Avalon's mind at that moment: Oh crap…

Ahh.. It feels good to leave it at a cliffhanger!

But I didn't even intend for Avalon to meet Kara in this chapter… I just kept writing and I came up with more and more ideas and I thought about how I was going to get Max involved with the whole Avalon vs. Kara thing so I think I got it down now. My goal is to get some of you guys to end up liking Kara when all of the drama starts to get more intense between Max being torn between a girl he thinks he's in love with and this girl that seems to make Avalon seem like a horrible girlfriend that neglects him and doesn't value their relationship. So that's just the direction I'm hoping to take this story. Oh and as always leave your comments and thoughts about the story in a review.. It helps me make better updates for all of you!

Until next time my readers!
