The scene opens on the 2nd floor hall way of a very classy hotel. The hallway is silent and there isn't a soul to be found roaming about. The cameras begin to pan in on the door way leading into the steps as the door slowly opens and young Avril Lavigne slowly and shakily walks into view. As she gets closer and closer we can now see dried up blood on her bottom lip and her hair is all over her head as she holds her mid section obviously seeming to be in mucho pain. She stops at a certain door and leans her head on it causing a pretty loud sound. On the other side of the door the room is currently being occupied by the now familiar faces of Evan, Mark, Charlie, and Michelle. They all sit around the table passing papers to each other that they read carefully one by one. Hearing the loud thud on the door they all look up. Michelle is the first to stand as she jogs over to the door grabbing the knob. She swings the door open and Avril falls into her.
Michelle: Woah Avril, I know you love me but damn.
+Avril pushes off of Michelle and goes to lean on the wall. She breathes heavily as they now see the dried up blood on her bottom lip, and can tell plain as day how much pain she is in. Michelle sighs and grabs Avril by the arm pulling her into the bathroom. Charlie gets up from his chair and follows them. Michelle stands Avril in front of the fairly large sink and turns on both the hot and cold water trying to get it just right. Charlie looks over Michelle's shoulder as he sees her push Avril head under the faucet. He watches on for a minute as the water rushes over Avril who looks like she is trying to spit the water out of her mouth as it rushes into her face. Charlie gets a worried look on his face and begins to pull on Michelle a little+
Charlie:....That's too much water...too much water!
Michelle: Back up. I know when it's too much water.
+Michelle slightly lets go of Avril as Avril falls to the floor seeming to be unconscious. Michelle turns the water off and runs her fingers through her hair looking down at Avril with a scared look on her face. Charlie pushes her out of the way and leans down picking Avril up. He walks out of the bathroom quickly and lays her down on the couch. Evan, and Mark jump up from the table as Michelle walks slowly over to the couch+
Evan: What that hell happened to her?!
+Charlie bends down on the floor in front of Avril and begins to slap her face softly trying to get her to open her eyes. He points back at Michelle+
Charlie: Genius here thought it would be a good idea to stick Avril's head under the damn sink letting the water rush over her face. Meanwhile Avril is gasping for air but instead of air she gets a mouth full of water, I stand behind the witch telling her that it's too much water, too much fucking water, does she listen? No, she thinks she knows everything there is to know about everything and she keeps her fucking head under the water until she literally passes out. View exhibit "A".
+Charlie points both hands at Avril like he is introducing a new piece of artwork at a museum. Michelle bites her bottom lip and looks off to the side not wanting to see the way the guys were looking at her. While they continue to try and revive Avril meanwhile inside of her mind she is currently having what some would call a vision+
.:::Avril opens her eyes and looks around. She rises from the couch and scratches her head not too sure of where she is. She looks around the room for a minute with a blank look on her face. She sighs seeming to be very content and in a peaceful state. Avril smiles and walks slowly over to the table where there are papers spread out. She picks up one of the papers and begins looking it over. Her mouth opens a little as she reads the words written across the top of the paper in big bold letters. It reads "Try To Shut Me Up Tour: Canadian Dates". Avril slams the paper down onto the table and looks off to the side. She squints her eyes as a bright light of gold is coming from the corner of the room. Avril begins to slowly walk over to it. As she gets closer she can now see that it is her EFW Falconer championship. She picks it up off of the floor and looks at it tilting her head to the side now very confused as to what is happening. She turns around and right in front of her face is the paper she was reading a second ago. Avril jumps back tripping over a foot stool, she falls to the floor as everything once again goes black ending her little vision:::.
+Meanwhile in the reality world we now see Michelle kneeling in front of Avril with tears rolling down her face. She holds Avril's hand while Charlie brings over a cup of fairly warm water and tosses it in her face. Avril jerks up looking around at the guys and Michelle staring at her. She rubs the side of her face+
Avril: I thought I was dreaming...Bitch you almost drown me!
Michelle: I'm sorry Avril, I...I didn't mean for you to black out like that.
Avril: Why are you always so sorry. You know why I don't like you sometimes?
Michelle:....No...Why?
Avril: Because you are the type of person when someone doesn't like you, you take them out for a walk in the park and ask them "why?"
+Avril rises from the couch and pushes past Michelle who sits on the floor as more tears stroll down her face. Mark sits on the floor next to her trying his best to console her. They all watch as Avril walks over to the table sort of out of instinct. She laughs to herself as she finds the exact same papers spread across the table as she did in her vision. She picks one up and sure enough the same thing is written across the top. Avril clinches the paper in her hand and turns around toward the other with an angry expression on her face+
Avril: Just when was I to find out about this?!
Evan: First off calm down, slow your roll. You're blowing this whole thing way out of proportion. You did not need to say that to Michelle, she was only trying to help you Avril. I didn't tell you about it because I didn't want you to have to make the decision about whether or not you actually want to go on this tour. You know with you being the Falconer Champ and all...before you say anything, you know you have to defend that title against that Silver Fang guy tomorrow night at Exile, and this is the last thing you need to be worried about.
+Avril glares at Evan but at the mention of title she looks into the exact same corner as she did in her vision and sure enough there lay her Falconer title. Avril walks over to it and sits down holding the title in her lap. She hangs her head as her brown hair falls into her face. Avril raises her head back up to look at everyone else who seems a bit scared to say anything. Avril manages a slight smile+
Avril: Michelle, guys, I'm sorry for my outburst of anger towards you all. Thinking about it all, this industry is a bad ass influence on my life...ever since I've been in this business my life has been in shambles. Getting jumped by creatures of the night every where I turn. I mean, what is it about my blood that people find interesting? You're right though Evan. I do have to defend this thing tomorrow night and this guy doesn't look to be a joke. I don't even know what to think right now. I mean the tour is in Canada, it would be a chance to see the little family that I have left. Then there is this title. I know I stated before that I didn't need nor actually want a title but I have grown quite fond of this one and it would be hard to just let it go. Looks like I've got a big decision to make here.
+Avril leans her against the wall and bites her bottom lip. Everyone else sighs a sigh of relief as Michelle wipes her face+
Michelle: Apology accepted Avril. I also totally understand if you want to be the one singing on this tour. The fans miss you, I still don't think they've grown very fond of me. Whenever you want back in just say the word. Anyway, I'm gonna get on out of here, go freshen up and do some thinking. I'll come by later.
+Michelle rises from the floor as the guys all say their good byes to her. Avril just raises the peace sign in the air while still keeping her eyes closed. Michelle begins to walk out the door as Avril calls out to her+
Avril: Hey Michelle...
Michelle: Yeah Av?
Avril: Thanks for everything you've done to help us out.
Michelle: No problem kid, it's always my pleasure.
+Michelle smiles nodding her head as she proceeds out into the hall way letting the door close behind her. Avril opens her eyes and looks down at her title. She stares at it for a minute and smiles remembering the night she won it from her good friend Natalie Augustson. Avril runs her fingers through her hair and sets the title to the side. She stands up and walks over to every one of the guys and gives them a hug and a kiss on the cheek one by one. They all then begin to do their own separate thing as Avril looks around at them smiling. She grabs her back pack and jumps onto the couch pulling out her journal and a pen. Avril smiles as she begins to write+
A lot of shit has been happening to me lately. I don't really wanna get into that at this moment and time. I've now found out that I have the chance to go on my own headlining tour which would start in Toronto, Canada. I am truly psyched about that. It's called the "Try To Shut Me Up Tour". I miss it so much, I just wanna be on stage rockin' out. That makes me happy. The rest is a drag, like I miss people and stuff. If I end up going I'll miss people like Druj, and Naty. On the other hand I have Mark, Charlie, and Evan. They'll be leaving me. Then who will I have around this place? No one. I feel really lucky to have such great guys in my band. I love to party with them after shows and we goof around a lot. They're my boys! This is a very tough decision. This match I have tomorrow night with Silver Fang will make my decision for me. So...I'll see what happens.
-Avril Lavigne
+Avril sets the pen down and lays out on the couch with her journal sitting on top of her stomach. She winces in pain a little bit remembering the attack that she received from that Matrix reject Brimstone not too long ago. She closes her eyes dosing off to sleep as the scene fades+
