It's Wednesday. Spring break is going by fast. I've done absolutely nothing other than watch movies with Amber and Paige. I guess she's apart of our friend group now? Not that we were ever a friends group, there was only two of us! My room is still a shit show, so I'm going out with them both to help me chose decor. It's time for a change. Not my lip phone, though. I love her. She'll never leave me. Okay well I broke her, but she should arrive in the mail brand new today! Amber would've murdered me if she find
I put on some ripped black jeans shorts and a purple crop top along with it. I shoved my feet into my rusty old vans and raced downstairs to
my friends and Nathan.
"Ready?"
"As I'll ever be." I ran to the door.
I was eager to get these new decorations and furniture. I've had the same shit forever. It's time to change.
I'm not Evelyn Ramirez anymore, I'm Evelyn. No dad, no last name.
"Ooooo this is fucking fire! Take it!" Paige was throwing random things in the cart the whole way, Nathan following behind her and secretly taking them out. I see a spark there.
"I don't want anything that will remind me of the past 17 years. I want something new." I fussed while pushing the cart.
"Well unfortunately, there's not much that we can find that won't remind you of the past. Amber patted my head.
"Black." I blurted.
"Black?" They all questioned.
"Yeah. Black and Gray. Anything black and Gray." I smiled.
"Why black?" My brother chuckled.
It reminds me of Wayne.
"Shit." Amy mumbled under her breath as I stared at some black candles.
"Mm?" I hummed.
"How are you princess?"
Shit.
Before I could even turn to face him, Nathan had said "get the fuck away from her, Eric. We want nothing to do with you."
"She can speak for herself."
"I don't want anything to do with you." I repeated and turned around so that I was now facing Eric.
His eyes were droopy and his hair was a mess. So yeah, he basically looked like me a couple days ago.
"A-are you sure?" His eyes went soft and he tried grabbing my hand, but I didn't let that happened. "I said I want nothing to do with you." I stayed strong, even though I wanted to break down into tears.
"Goodbye, Evelyn." Was all he said as he walked away from the isle we were in.
We stood there in an awkward silence, not knowing what to say or do next. Just letting it sink it that I stood up to him.
"Who was that?" Paige was the first to speak, and she went on in the store like nothing had happened. To her nothing had happened since she's new. She doesn't know the pain I've been through.
"This decorating shit is a lot of fucking work." Amy huffed while she hung up black curtains.
"Tell me about it." Paige complained.
"Hey! You guys wanted to help." I rolled my eyes, applying my new bed sheets. A big fluffy black comforter. Joy. That's what I'm feeling.
Hours later, my room was finished. My room was pretty big, the largest room in the house, may I say.
When you entered, to your left would be my body mirror, my tv, some new shelf and some action figures in top of it. In front was just a black bean bag and a checkered rug, pretty cute to me. To the right was my bed in the far right corner by my window. My happy place. The new black curtains really bring the place back to life. Then my vanity besides the door, besides my bed is my nightstand with a small lamp with a black lamp shade, oh and my lip phone! Then there's my restroom..... but that place will never be spotless and pretty. So overall, everything in this bitch is black. Like Wayne's room. I miss it in there. Him. His bed. His bed. Him.
"What are we watching?" The girls were gathered on my bed and spread out in their own position, I was cuddled up in the corner with my blanket.
"Friday the 13th! Please! I want something scary?" Paige pouted.
Amber and I agreed, so we watched the movie.
About an hour in, they both had passed out, and it wasn't even 11 yet!
I decided to turn the tv off and scroll through tiktok.... Bc why not.
When I was laughing my ass off at a video, a text had to ruin it.
Eric
Eric: let's talk plz
Me: I have nothing to say to u :)
Eric: u did that night of the party 😂😂
Me: just stfu
Eric: it's okay, u can let it all out now
Eric: I know u hate me and I'm pretty sure if u lmk to my face while ur sober u'll feel better
Eric: meet me at our spot in 20 min???
Our spot. Neighborhood park, on the swings. We would go there literally every day after school. No sex, just to talk. That's all we ever did, but something about those swings made it just feel like the most amazing thing ever. We both had someone to talk to. To let it all out to. Most importantly, we had each other.
That's the past, though. I don't want to return there. I don't want all the memories to come back. I'm NOT going. I can't let him get to me.
Me: see u there
Clown shit. Absolute clown shit. I carefully got myself off the bed, making sure not to wake the girls. They'd kill me if they knew where I was going. I quickly walk to my closet and pull on a some sky blue champion joggers and a matching hoodie over my bra. I didn't feel like wearing a shirt. I slipped on my white Nike's and quietly made my way downstairs.
Getting out. Not the hardest part. I went to the backyard door since it's the quietest exist. One day Nathan fixed it so it wouldn't make noise when he snuck out. It came in handy. I made sure to leave the door unlocked so I had a way in. I went over to the side gate and slowly unlocked it and made my way to the park.
I jogged/ran the whole way since I now only had 7 minutes to get there. It was dark, the street lights barely did any help. Finally I could see the park. I placed my hands on my knees as I tried to catch my breath just staring at the park. The color theme was Purple and blue. Large slide, climbing things, merry-go round, some dinosaur thing, sea saw, and a sand pit. Then there they were. Our swings.
Thankfully he wasn't here yet, so I made my way to my swing, the blue one on the left. His was the pink one on the right. I lightly pushed my body forward and stared at the wood chips while waiting for him. I went to my pocket to grab.... shit. My phone. Classic Evelyn move. How the fuck does someone sneak out and forget their phone!?
"This seat taken?" I heard a voice from above.
A/N: should Evelyn tell eric how much she hates him 🤨
Omg I just realize there is so many E names in this........ fun fact, Jason's name WAS Easton, but I just didn't get that vibe from him anymore, plus the Eric and Evelyn and Amber was Eliza before and Easton was just too much.
Until next time, j
