Chapter Text
(third person p.o.v)
"I didn't know you were going to pack all of this. If I knew I would've asked Bruce Banner's Hulk to give us a hand". The girl with the bright neon yellow hair spoke as she struggled with the last bag and threw it in the trunk of the old black 66 Chevy impala and shut it harshly.
The blonde rolled her eyes. "Three bags aren't that much". She sat under the bright sun on the freshly damp green grass of her front house's yard. well, old house...
See...Aeva was moving from Phoenix to LA for a new job offer, a new life, a new beginning. She need a fresh start from this overly boring, routined life. After all she couldn't handle it here she felt it was suffocating her.
That's why she's leaving to LA without telling her parents, she knew that they'll try to stop her and convince her to stay. She didn't have another choice but to go leaving a letter explaining why she left.
"You do know that they'll come straight up to me asking why you left? I bet they'll say I'm a bad influence" Roxxi laughed a dry laugh taking a cigarette and lightning it inhaling and exhaling.
"Like you're not?" Aeva joked taking the cigarette from Roxxi and doing the same as her.
"You have a point" she shrugged and smiled. "Ya know..I'm gonna miss having you here" Roxxi gave her a side glance and took the cigarette back.
"Aww is Roxxi getting feelings?" Aeva joked in a baby voice purposely to annoy her. But she got a smack on the back of her head from the smirking 22 year old instead. "Why so violent?" The brown eyed blonde said rubbing her nw sore head. She only got a more smug smirk and scoff in response from Roxxi.
She wished her bestfriend would come with her to the "paradise city". She needed her bestfriend to be with her. But Aeva knew why Roxxi couldn't come. Her father...she couldn't abonden him...not now...When he is sick...dying...
Roxxi had to work day and night at the local strip club as a bartender, it wasn't what Roxxi wanted; but it was enough for the bills her father's chemical.
10 minutes had passed of them enjoying their each other's prescience in the bright spring day, but good things always come to an end. Unfortunately it was time for Aeva to leave.
She got up. "Well I have to head on my way hoe...". Roxxi got up too and pulled Aeva in a hug. "I'm going to miss you bitching around". Roxxi mumbled trying to hold her tears and it was obvious to Aeva from her voice. "Me too Rox..I would visit here sometimes..and you should visit me too". She pulled back with tearful eyes and gave her bestfriend a weak smile.
"Like hell you should come and hang with me in LA". Aeva said trying to lighten up the mood which got her a broken grin from Roxxi. "We totally should go and check those clubs there together". Roxxi said now smirking. Aeva smiled warmingly "yeah..we should..bye Rox". She gave her a last hug and pulled away, turning around going in her car and started it.
"Bye Aev". Was all Roxxi said when her best friend drove off and was now on the road leaving this place to her now unknown future in LA.

It was dark by now when Aeva needed to stop by at a gas station to use the restroom and buy a snack, she had to rest from the long drive. After all she still had 2 hours to go.
She got in the gas station after filling her tank and started wondering in the shop taking some Monster cans, Doritos and Oreos in hand and walking over to the cashier to pay when someone bumped into her making her fall flat on her bum.
"What the hell man!". She looked up and saw A guy with long raven hair wearing a black hoodie and he was noticeably tall..no he was gigantic.
The hoodie and hair was covering his face she couldn't quiet tell how he looked, but his lip piercings that flashed in the light caught her eyes.
He turned quickly walking away mumbling a quiet apologies, she almost swore she saw him smirk for a brief second.
"At least he said sorry...jerk". she gathered her wounded food and got up walking to the cashier paying and going back to the jet black Chevy.
As she was crossing to her car with her food to the car, she saw a flash of a black SUV speed off the station almost running her over causing her to yelp and jolt away towards my car.
"You fucked up asshole!! cant you see!!??". Aeva yelled after the SUV but it was already off on the road. She mumbled every cuss word under the sun as she got in her car speeding off on the highway while listening to Lana Del Rey calming down.

(Aeva's p.o.v)
Okay. Now I bet you're thinking that I finally arrived to LA and was admiring and looking around the city and blah blah blah, but it is true.
I did arrive. And I was looking around the city. But let me tell you i wasn't admiring anything. It was nothing like I saw on TV nor heard from my friends.
Not even close.
Buildings were either burning, burned, wrecked or had plenty of bullet holes in them that made them look like fucked up cheese.
How did I not see this on TV or heard it on the radio on my way? They usually cut every channel for the local news to post about something this chaotic.
"Well, this wasn't what Axl Rose meant by Paradise City...". I sighed loudly.
I currently was standing in the middle of street looking at the the huge 'HOLLYWOOD' sign that is covered with bullet holes. The city was abandoned. I kept thinking how I didn't hear anything about avocation when I heard foot steps from behind me.
I turned quickly and looked but the street was empty beside the burned cars. "He..hello?". I stuttered loud enough for anyone near to hear. "Is anyone here? I..I just want to ask some questions please?". I stated a little more confidently. No answer.
As to get on my nerves, it got worse. The foot steps weren't stopping and it was coming from all directions of the cross way street and i was in the Damn middle. My mind was yelling at me to run and this time i didn question it. And I ran.
I ran straight to the only building on front of me that wasn't on fire. I got in the dark place that I'm guessing was a club at some point and I decided to run straight to the wrecked stairs, don't judge me I was panicking in the fucking disco literally right now because of the creepy anonymous foot steps.
I ran up but one of the steps was too weak causing my leg to go straight into it. Which led to the broken wood to go through my leg like paper causing a horrible, painful may I add, gash. I screaming bloody mary at the top of my lungs because for some twisted reason fate was hating me tonight.
oh god how am I supposed to get out of here. Aeva you hoe why did you even run to the broken fucking stairs. Was the only thing that i could think of in this situation.
I was managing to silence my whimpers when I heard the door creeks open and the sound of the familiar foot steps coming near...
I tried to pull my leg out but it was too painful. I must've lost plenty of blood because I was starting to see black and white dots and the sound of loud boots walking towards me....
"Oh sugar lips, I do see. Hope you enjoy your stay".
and i was welcomed with blackness.
