" If I were you, Evelyn, I would put that gun down and stand back. "
Her sickening voice traveled to my ears. I turned around to look at her dead in the eyes. She gulped and cowered a little at the direct eye contact. Keeping my eyes locked...

I stood there with my eyes wide open and my jaw dropped at the sight in front of me.
Jack Foster.
How in the name of fucking hell did the asshole find me!?
I couldn't form words as my mouth opened and then closed over and over again. What the hell was I supposed to do now? There were so many people around. What if he said who I was out loud? I was so fucking screwed! Calm down, Evelyn!
"Jack? " That was all I could manage out as I gaped at his defined face. He had dirty blonde messy hair, piercing green eyes and a very defined jawline. Whatever, he was a grade-A asshole for all I knew!
Ryan's head snapped over to me and he cocked his eyebrows, as if to ask if this was the same Jack I had told him about. I nodded my head at him and he clenched his fists at his side, with pure hatred on his face as he shot a deadly glare in Jack's direction.
Ryan moved closer to my side and I instantly felt relaxed and safe. How did he do this? Oh never mind, more important matters at hand here! Focus, Evelyn! Think!
"Tiana, is that really you? " Jack said taking a step in my direction. Ryan took a step forward and raised his eyebrows in a warning. He then took my hand in his, " C'mon let's get outta here, Evelyn! "
"Evelyn? Her name is Tiana, do you even know who she is? " Jack said, lowering his voice in a threatening way. I didn't know he could do that. With his thick Aussie accent I thought he could only ever say charming things to impress girls into sleeping with him, hmm!
"I know exactly who she is and you need to back the fuck off, " Ryan said. The veins in his arm were popping out because of the tense way he was standing. "What are you doing here, Jack? " I asked him in a low voice so no one around us would know that I knew him.
My eyes flickered back towards the bar kitchen and I sighed in relief that Jenny wasn't looking at us. " You know what, let's talk outside. " I gestured to Ryan and he dragged the scumbag out of the bar, quite literally.... but, hey who cares, right?
" What are you doing here, Tiana? All the people back home are looking for you. The record label has been flipping over the fact that you just disappeared from the face of earth and they're not sure if you would even go on the tour for your album. And Stella, boy she's been going insane over your safety!" Jack said while wincing and rubbing his arm where Ryan had held him. Weakling!
I couldn't help but snicker at the last part, Stella? Flipping over my safety? Hate to break it to you fella, but she's been hunting me down to kill me ever since the day I ran away.
"Oh yeah, and what about you Jack? Missed me? " I cocked my head in one direction and looked at him. He took a step back as I took one ahead. Ha, good, he was afraid of me. After all I was his crazy ex who ruined his career after he cheated on her. What? He deserved it!
