“Stephen, calm down. You’re too impulsive. When I’m not around anymore, you need to learn to manage your emotions, alright? And don’t forget, you still have Ms. Tessa. She’ll find the right lead vocalist. So ever without me, the Avery band will still go on.”
Stephen let out a cold laugh. “So you’ve got it all figured out, haven’t you? You’re not here to talk this over with us–you’re just here to inform us.”
Avery felt awful, but in the end, he could only nod. “Everyone has a right to make their own choice. I just hope you can respect mine.”
Stephen smashed the beer bottle beside him onto the ground. “Sure, I respect you. In fact, let’s just scrap the idea of replacing the lead. Let’s disband the Avery band right now, at the height of our success.”
If that was better for everyone, then so be it. Maybe he was the only one who’d been holding on so tightly all along.
“Stephen, don’t be like this. Just because I’m gone doesn’t mean you can’t move forward,” Avery said helplessly.
“Captain, are you really serious about this? After everything we’ve been through, after all the struggles… how can you choose to walk away now?” another member asked, unable to accept
“Captain, don’t be rash. Whatever it is you’re dealing with, we can face it together,” one of the others chimed in, trying to reassure him.
“Yeah, let’s not jump to this. We’ve made it through worse. Things are finally going well–whatever it is, we can fix it.”
But Stephen’s tears fell without warning.
Even when Evan had beaten him nearly to death, he hadn’t cried. But now, he couldn’t stop himself.
“Avery… I’m sorry,” Avery said quietly. He couldn’t make it to the end with them. He hadn’t kept his promise.
Stephen shook his head. “Don’t apologize to me. You haven’t wronged me.” He didn’t want to say anything more. He didn’t want them to see him like this. He turned around and headed back to his room.
“Stephen-”
The others called after him, but he simply waved them off. Right now, he just wanted to be alone.
“What is going on? How is it that we were able to grit our teeth and pull through when things were at their worst, but now that everything is finally looking up, this happens?” one of the members said in frustration.
Their dreams had only just begun. How could it all fall apart like this?
Avery had no words. After all, he was the one who started it.
Stephen shut himself in his room and broke down in tears.
They had worked so hard to get where they were. If the Avery band really disbanded now, how could he possibly accept it? He locked himself inside and refused to come out, no matter who knocked or called him.

In the end, Avery had no choice but to call Ms. Tessa. As soon as she got the call, she came over immediately.
“Stephen found out, didn’t he?”
There was no way he would’ve reacted like this otherwise.
Avery nodded. It all came back to him–he hadn’t handled it well.
“You go rest. Leave this to me. Everything will be fine,” Ms. Tessa said softly.
