Grace Dallas never wanted to be a mother. She’d been a product of a broken marriage; an abusive mother and an absent father. Even from a young age she never carried the maternal gene. She would much rather do the things she loved with her life than worry about another human. At the age of fourteen she met Travis Beaumont and immediately fell in love. he came from a slightly more stable home: his dad was in prison and his mother worked two jobs to support him and his brother. Everything changed when he met grace. He wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. He wanted to experience the world with her. They were inseparable. At the age of sixteen grace became pregnant. It was unplanned and unexpected. For months they considered adoption. They weren’t ready (nor did they ever want kids) for such a big responsibility. Travis’s mother convinced them to keep the baby. She would be there to support them, even if her family wouldn’t. avery mae was born on new years day, 1989.
The first few years of her life travis’s mother took care of little avery. Grace and travis were too busy enjoying life, being young, not having a care in the world. It didn’t last forever. Eventually avery was left in the care of grace and travis. Growing up they were the kind of parents that took every opportunity to leave their kid with someone else. Avery spent a lot of times with aunts, uncles, friends, babysitters, just about everyone except her parents. They were still too young to know anything about parenting. they thought that if they couldn’t see a problem it didn’t exist. Avery grew up thinking that she had done something wrong. She thought she was a bad girl and that maybe if she was good her parents would love her. She excelled in school, played sports, made friends, everything to try to show them she was a good kid. It broke her heart that they never noticed.
At age of fifteen she ran away from home. She couch surfed from friend to friend until their parents found out and she went to the next place. She eventually got a job, got a deal on a hole in the wall apartment, and focused on starting over. She didn’t want anything to do with the family she left behind. By the time she was 17 she moved to oxford, got her GED and had big dreams of going to college. She spent her first year at a community college before transferring to Ole Miss. Avery always kept her distance from people. She had trust issues, and never let anyone close enough to hurt her again.
Despite her tough upbringing, avery always was an outgoing and energetic girl. In college she played volleyball, joined a sorority, became the girl everyone wanted to be friends with. She was bubbly, funny, kind, adventurous, always down to try something new. She didn’t really have any academic interests like the other kids. She would have been happy with any degree, as long as she got one. She had to prove to herself that she wasn’t unwanted trailer park trash. She mattered. After three and a half years she left ole miss with a degree in art history.
After graduation she decided to leave Mississippi and head to boston. To be honest, she simply closed her eyes and picked a city from a list. She was ready to leave her childhood behind and start a new life where no one knew her. It gave her a chance to make a new name for herself. She immediately fell in love with the city. She wanted to experience everything. Over the years she had all kinds of jobs: ups worker, pizza delivery, hostess, bartender, model, tour guide, telemarketer, fast food, just about everything. Over the years she grew more and more in love with the city and never has plans to go back to ms.
Personality wise, avery can be one of two things: a southern belle or a royal pain in the ass. She has an attitude and a mouth to bargain with. She doesn’t take shit from anyone and never cares what people say about her. She’s been on her own for so long that she’s extremely independent. Shes been known to get into a fight or two because she’s so stubborn.
