[/color]* I DARE SAY THAT YOU HAVE A HOUSE HOLD NAME, BUT FOR OUR NEW READERS, WILL YOU INFORM US ONCE MORE WHAT YOUR PARENTS NAMED YOU ?
ava's mother was an aspiring singer, and also being one of those artsy type of people she liked to stray away from tradition. on a trip to milan, victoria had met a girl in college travel group with the name ava, thinking of it as a nice sophisticated name that she held in her memory for as long as she could remember. so naturally victoria was over-joyed when the time came for her to name her child, and whether her husband gavin liked it or not, their baby girl's name was going to be ava. ava anastasia penner. later on in the child's years she'd come to like her name, especially since she'd discovered that it was pretty uncommon. it made her feel unique. [/center][/blockquote][/blockquote]
[/color]* REMIND US AGAIN WHEN YOU WERE BORN? I CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH OF THE STORY SURROUNDING YOUR BIRTH .
ava was born on the night of may 15th it was a clear night in the city when victoria's contractions came telling her that instead of the short five day wait til the actual expected date or birth, that the newest addition to the penner clan was coming early. with a short hop into the car, ava anastasia penner was born in the nyu hospital at 11:15 that very night.[/center][/blockquote][/blockquote]
[/color]* OKAY , BE HONEST HERE. WHICH ARE IN TO MORE: GUYS OR DOLLS ? DONT WORRY, OUR LIPS OUR SEALED .
ava's most definitely a guy's girl. she's pretty flirtatious[/center][/blockquote][/blockquote]
[/color]* TELL ME, WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE THINGS IN THE ENTIRE WORLD ? THOSE SPECIAL THINGS THAT JUST MAKE YOU WANT TO SMILE ?

[/color]* AND SADLY, WE ALL KNOW THAT THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE JUST CANT STAND. WHAT ARE YOURS ?

[/color]* WHAT MAKES YOU QUAKE IN YOUR BOOTS ? IF YOU HAD TO PICK ONE THING THAT SCARED YOU THE MOST , WHAT WOULD IT BE ?
ava's biggest secret isn't really a secret. its more of the fact that she would one day like to actually find her mother who abandoned her as a child. she's still hurting over it it and deep down has always wanted to speak with her. there's an angry edge to it as well so that would kick in. also, when ava was sixteen she'd slept with one of her cousin's friends. it was during the rougher patch of her life after her father passed and her partying era hadn't died down just yet. she's sill never told aaron that.[/center][/blockquote][/blockquote]
[/color]* IS THERE A SIGNIFICANT OTHER IN YOUR LIFE ? HOW DO YOU DO WITH RELATIONSHIPS ?
ava's love life has been a long torturous story. ava's most recent relationship ended in complete failure. last she was dating a guy named aiden a while back, the first guy she ever loved. she loved him as well, but aiden had a few problems. he'd slept with a girl after getting drunk at a club, and then later on finding out that a while back a friend that he'd slept with is pregnant and the baby could be his. all the shit hit the fan when she found out about it at the valentines day dance. needless to say that didn't end well for her.[/center][/blockquote][/blockquote]
[/color]* NOW , YOU KNOW THAT WE ADORE YOU , BUT LETS TALK ABOUT SOME OTHER PEOPLE FOR A LITTLE BIT. A LITTLE BIRD TOLD ME THAT YOU HAVE SOME PRETTY WELL KNOWN PARENTS. WHO ARE THEY ?
Victoria and Gavin were one of those serendipitously created couples that fallen head over heels for one another with one simple glance. Who they were didn't matter, the problems they were dealing with, or who they were financially. They'd been in college just then, Victoria at UCONN, and Gavin a student Penn State the two meeting through mutual friends at a basketball game when the two school faced one another. Immediately the twenty one year old girl had been taken with the twenty three year old senior, and they gabbed the night away, making a bet with one another that whoever's school lost would have to buy the other one dinner. Victoria ended up winning. Despite the distance, the two love birds make their relationship work by meeting up in their home city on weekends and breaks, New York City. It didn't take long for Gavin to finish his college classes, and Victoria to transfer to NYU where she majored in dance for the rest of her college education. It had been the end of her senior year, and the start of Gavin's career at an NYC Law firm when the two learned of the fast approaching birth of their first daughter.
Only a mere month after the birth of the bouncing baby girl, Victoria Penner or Victoria Nikols -her maiden name- left after a simple heated arguement with Gavin about the dripping faucet. Though anyone could see that this was only a stick in the hay stack. Their problems had been rising since they both first learned about their conceived baby girl and Victoria began to grow hesistant with the idea of having a baby and trying to kick off her dream of being a famous singer. While Gavin was head over heels for his wife and completely ecstatic, Victoria was not as thrilled. A baby wasn't where she wanted her life's focus to be, as an aspiring singer Victoria felt that little Ava would ruin her chances at ever hitting it big. Who wanted a pop star who already had a kid? They needed young, wholesome singers. So she packed up her bags that very night and took off, taking the needed money from their joint bank accounts and jetting off to from their Manhattan home to the fabulous LA, Victoria was gone, and her only remnants were the divorce papers served by mail with her signature already on the dotted line.
Life grew steadily harder for Gavin as he was forced to raise his one month old daughter all on his own. The struggling defense attorney made due with what he could, which wasn't all that bad, and still made time to be the role model father to young Ava and slowly become one of the most sought after defense attorneys on the east coast. He lived to make her smile, and longed to hear her giggle everyday when he got home from work. As for Ava? She was the epitome of a daddy's girl, going to baseball games together, and learning everything he had to teach her with a bright childlike smile upon her small features. But at age twelve while rushing on the way to what could've been his career defining court case, Gavin took the chance of making it through the yellow-changing-red light, and was taken out by a speeding cop car on the way to another accident. Little Ava Penner had just been dropped off on the sidewalk when she heard the skidding tires, and her little emerald eyes switched to the intersection to watch the authority vehicle plow into the drivers side door of her father's car. Through her tears and denial, even she knew the truth about her father's future. Nonexistent.
Lucas Gordon, a local cop and friend of her father's was forced to remove little old Ava from the scene when she'd later rushed to the ambulance her father was pronounced dead in. [/center][/blockquote][/blockquote]
[/color]* ANY OTHER IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN YOUR FAMILY ? DID YOUR PARENTS HAVE ANY OTHER CHILDREN ? DO YOU HAVE ANY CHILDREN ?
From age twelve on Ava was put into the care of her nineteen year old cousin Aaron living in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. When she'd first arrived, Ava had become quite the hassel, and didn't let anybody tell her what to do. She had no problem making friends, but it always seemed to be with the wrong people. By fourteen, Ava was slowly starting to ease into a worse crowd, especially for such a young age. She submerged herself drugs, alcohol, and parties; anything that could take away her pain. She couldn't see how much pain she was inflicting on herself or her cousin, until she'd been brought to his doorstep by a town policeman, not only telling Aaron about her escapades for the night but also that she would have to appear in court for underage drinking. It was the wake-up call she needed. From the stretch of fourteen to nineteen, Ava had begun to clean herself up, but still had her partying, and wild streaks. She'd taken up painting again thanks to her cousin, spawning off the talent that she'd pushed away since childhood; a talent that had earned her many awards when she was younger. Aaron, being an artist has himself pretty well off, allowing Norah to live in his small house. The two have always gotten along fairly well, and although he loves her Aaron isn't about to tell her how to live her life. Due to a transfer in galleries, Aaron was needed to allocate to LA. Since their move she's gotten used to the setting, she dreams of leaving everyday, and going back to the her home, NYC.[/center][/blockquote][/blockquote]
[/color]* HOW ABOUT PETS ? HOW MANY DO YOU HAVE ?
when ava had moved in with aaron, to make her comfortable, he'd brought her a companion. a siberian husky named bandit who ava's had since she was fourteen. the five year old pooch has kept true to the real qualities of a good dog, and currently lives with ava in her apartment. [/center][/blockquote][/blockquote]
[/color]* OKAY, YOU HAVE TO HAVE KNOWN THAT WE WERE GOING TO ASK. WHATS YOUR BIGGEST & BEST KEPT SECRET ?
the biggest secret that ava has kept is that she knows exactly where her mother is. ever since she first left, victoria has been residing in LA, and with no word of her in the music world, ava has been lead to believe that her career was a failure. the only other person who knows of this is aaron, her cousin. [/center][/blockquote][/blockquote]

Mia wasn't going to lie to herself and say that she wasn't excited at the thought of being able to leave the house. Not that she had anywhere to go really, besides the agency, or maybe out somewhere to take pictures for her upcoming portfolio. But none of that seemed appealing to her in the slightest. But she wasn't about to tell herself that was because it wasn't what she wanted. That would be admitting defeat, admitting rejection. The one thing she'd feared when she'd got into...
She'd been sitting in her room, clicking around on her laptop when Sonia'd come in asking her to head out to the store to pick up a few things, and fill up the car. Maybe Sonia had sensed that Mia was wallowing in something and needed to get out of the house. She didn't know how Sonia could be so observant of something when she'd been sticking to her room in all the hours that she was home after school. There were no after school activities that seemed appealing, and her car was officially broken down, and in the shop for a whole week. That diagnosis on Sunday had put her in a rut for the rest of the the weekend. So she was stuck at home, or anywhere within walking distance. The only other place to go was the reservation and maybe see one or two of the friends she'd met on her first attemp to get her car checked out. The thought immediately back-fired on her when she came to the conclusion of what in the right mind they'd want to see her for. No one ever really wanted to see her. Except for Snuff, her dog. And maybe sometimes her sister Samantha. But besides that, that was all.
Was she stupid for ever thinking that Chase could really care about her like she wished? Stupid for believing that he was different? She'd eaten up every one of his words to her, that she was interesting, or amazing, or beautiful and what not. She really was too naive for her own good. She'd been tricked, betrayed, foiled. He'd walzted onto the beach and with one word she sunk to the bottom of his ocean colored eyes as if she had anchors on her feet. And now where was she? Stuck at the bottom. Rejected and thrown aside like she was just a dirty rag. What made her more pathetic was the fact that she still wanted his acceptance. She was back to where she started from after Victoria had thrown her back with Norah at the orphanage. Returned, hurt and betrayed but this time, it was her heart that was crumbling to the dirt beneath her shoes. She felt lower than it too, as if she should've been the to poop coming from the worm swimming smoothly through the dirt she was walking on, rather than the giant steppig all over it.
So she'd closed her laptop, and stoppped watching the virtual tour of the school she would be attending next year. Miles and miles away from Washington's restrictions, she would be headed to New York, Manhattan where there would be at least one person unlike anyone here that would accept her. She would become an entirely new person, and build up her brick walls, and let no one tear them down like they had many times before. She would throw on another skin, impenetrable it would be against the best weapons of defeat. Mia swung her feet limply off her bed and onto the wooden floor of her bedroom, and reached her feet beneath her bed reeling her ankle boots from beneath her bed frame, and slipping her feet into them.
She grabbed her purse from the chair tucked into her desk, and slipped over her shoulder as she headed downstairs, passing Samantha, and walking blatantly in front of her eyes, glued to the newest boy band on tv, and into the kitchen. She could sense Samantha rolling her eyes at her limp body as she walked into the kitchen, grabbing the keys to the jeep, and Sonia's list off the counter before walking out of the door to their house without so much as 'I'll be right back'. Mia ignored the gray sky since it was only normal, and instead made a disfunctional beeline for the garage and her mother's car. It was only now that she noticed, David was here. That just went to prove how much she was missing. Not once for a moment did she think she was being over-dramatic. No one else knew that night like she did, he only did instead. She could hardly bring herself to say his name. Maybe she could find a career in acting?
Getting into the car, she plugged in her iPod, letting whoever's smooth voice came over the speakers first soothe her. The ride into Forks was easy, following the smooth road. As if it were possible to Mia, the sky got grayer. Then again, by living in the Olympic Peninsula you should've learned every shade of gray there ever was. But as always despite the dreary weather, Forks town was filled with people, walking along the streets. Teenagers coming from the ice cream shop, or other attractions that the town surprisingly had. None of which really interested her today, and upon seeing the congested parking of the supermarket, Mia opted to just settle with the over-stocked mini mart at the gas station. That would work.
Passing the final stop light, she pulled in with ease into the gas station, and parked her car along the gas pump on the side of the tealish-blue colored Wrangler's nozzle, and awaited an attendant as she played with her fingers. Nothing really seemed that interesting lately. Her eyes picked up on some movement around the front of her car, as she reached over for her wallet to pay. The voice by the side of her window should've caught her ears, but instead she fiddled around her wallet a bit before getting out the righ amount of money that she was going to put in, "hi, can i have thirty-dollars worth of re-" her eyes moved up to the very pair that made her insides tangle on contact. Her throat dried up, and suddenly her mind was in a tassle. It was funny how that happened to her so quickly with him, never with anyone else. But almost instantly her insides burned, and not in a good way. Her fingers clenched around her wallet, and her eyes narrowed at him. She never thought she could be more angry in her life, and she had no clue where it was coming from, but she was torn. She didn't have time to wonder if this is how she would've acted in the event that she would ever see Aaron or Victoria again, instead her words were spat at him with a tone she hadn't heard before. But then again with him, Mia'd acted and done many things she never though she would've done before, "What are you doing here?" her shoulder slumped in her seat as if the very view of him was making her tired. Maybe it was better if she didn't see him, that thought stuck in her mind, but trying to convince her heart that would be an entirely different story.[/font][/quote]
