Harry And Evelyn

16

Evelyn

"Hi, umm..Penny and Evie, right?" Rachel asked.

I wasn't in a mood to reply at all.
I could still spot Harry running towards the hotel. I don't give a damn about him. I don't care even if he gets caught and then Marco execute us. I just don't care. Harry moved on with Rachel and didn't even tell me about her?
I will never forgive him.

"Nope, it's Penelope Rivara and Evelyn Brown" Penny answered.

"Oh I'm sorry, I just knew your pet names maybe, because Harry talked about you guys all the time. And that's what he called you guys in all his stories" Rachel smiled. "Oh and I gotta see if Harry needs a back up, bye guys" she left.
Harry used to talk about us?

"Ohhh I can trunk a jealousy" Penny tried singing the line from "blank space" by Taylor Swift.

"Shut up! Have you even seen her? Why would I be jealous?"

"Because you have seen her! Oh c'mon, wait, haven't you told Harry yet?" Penny stood up.

"Told Harry what?" I said.

"That you freaking loved him"

"You knew?"

"Everyone did, except him" Penny rolled her eyes.

"Ohh. I didn't knew that" I blushed. "And I haven't confessed anything either. I sacrificed my love for my friendship, that's all I know and Harry doesn't have to know any of it, okay?" I said.

"Why would that have destroyed your friendship? That's a stupid reason" Penny said.

"For you Penny. Everytime I thought of telling him, I just thought of that one day we would break up and start ignoring eachother or what if he says he likes someone else? And after that day, when he ran away, I regretted my decision because I lost him anyway. Any of it didn't seem fair at all" I sighed. It's like the inner bruises I was trying to hide, are again brought back to make me feel the pain.

"Best friends. I love this friendship. I love you both so much. I just didn't thought of meeting you guys ever like this on a criminal ball. Times have changed" Penny said.

"And no-one knows how this is gonna end" I looked up at the stars.

"We'll, sorry about Josh. Three hours ago Josh was just a casual criminal death for me, but now... Im so sorry for your loss" Penny came and hugged me.

I don't understand why I don't feel like crying anymore. Even on the biggest loses of my life. Maybe because living with these truths have become easier for me than crying and recalling them.

"I should have told you about my brother" I whispered in her ears.

"And I should have told you about my dad. You know what? It's okay, we were just ashamed and scared of telling people about their profession. And that's totally understandable" Penny looked in my eyes.

"And what about your silly habits Penny?" I continued after her silence "whenever someone fought, you would go to them personally and lie them about a sorry that the other person never said"

"Ah, no, just for you and Harry specially. And I do that because I don't wanna see anyone fight, c'mon I saved your friendship millions of times" Penny laughed.

It's like the world I was so eager to get back, has returned itself. My friends are back, Harry and I are together, Penny is here.
But it's just the one side of the story, still, the other side is yet to be completed.
Now, I want to live, because I have the reasons back.
