Evie's P.O.V:
I can't believe I snapped in front of the boys! They must be so embarrassed! I walk out of the store and turn left, stopping once I made sure I wouldn't be in anyone's way. I'm such a screw up! A girl should be seen not heard, I want to slap myself! The boys must hate me, they'll cancel Jake coming round. They'll probably send me back.

I can feel the tears in my eyes, biting my lip hard, it's been two days! That's the shortest time, it should at least beat a week. I'm such a screw up!

I take a deep breath and blink the tears away, as I hear footsteps approach. It's the boys, "Evie," Ashton calls as I turn to face them with my head down, I'm not ashamed of what I did, that lady deserves it, I'm ashamed that I embarrassed them. "That," Calam starts, "WAS AWESOME!" They say in unison. My head snaps up to look at them, "what?" Falls.

"Yes, Evie, that was amazing! You showed that nosie b- erm, women!" Luke says. "I didn't know you had it on you," Michael states. I look at the boys, shock evident on my face, "you're not mad?"
"No, of course not, Evie. You did nothing wrong. We're proud of you," Ashton tells me, I look at them, proud of me? Really? I nod.

"Let's go to Forever 21, we can get you some leggings," Michael says, holding his elbow out after he asks. I try to protest as the boys lead me, but they go unheard. Once we arrive, Luke and Ashton move either side of me, as Calam and Michael seem to go their own way. "What phone do you have, Evie?" Luke says to my right. "Erm, I think it's the S6 Edge," I say, Luke turns to face me, "that's 6 years old!" He exclaims, I nod, "he's a baby, hehe."

"How'd you get it?" Ashton asked, "It was Jake's old phone, he had it for 2 years before he upgraded, I gave 200 for it." I respond. It's true, my phone was second hand, maybe third, yes, it was Jake's but it's expensive and he deserves being paid for it. I don't take it.

Ashton looks at me, "How'd you like a new phone?" I shake my head, "no, thank you. I like this phone and it works perfectly well." Luke hands me a pair of leggings to try as we're at the fitting rooms, "has it not been killed yet?" I giggle, "it's not an apple product" {A/N- no hate}. Luke splatters, "wa! Apple is the best!" It's silent for a few seconds before a wack is heard, followed by a painful moan. I come out of the fitting room and pull the leggings, "they're too tight," I say, they're uncomfortably clinging to my skin, "mmm, I agree, here, these should be looser," I nod, taking the pair, well, I held my arm out, I turn back in to change as Luke asks, "well, if you don't want a phone, if there anything you'd like? A laptop maybe?" I pull the curtain out, "no, thank you" "How about some airpods?" I nod, "they'd be great but wayyyy too expensive," Ashton takes the clothes from me, "we have money," I shake my head. "I'm sure you do, but I don't, nor do I feel the need to spend your money."

Luke says, "we want to spoil you, Evie, treat you like a princess," I face him, now in my own clothes, "I don't want to be treated like that," I cringe. "Well," Ashton starts, "we're going to spoil you, that's final, now let's pay," I know better than to argue with them, so I zip it, allowing Ashton to lead me to the register. Luke seems to have walked off.

Once we arrive at the register, Ashton moves slightly in front of me as we wait inline, I "look" around idly I wonder where I am, I'm sure it's a Forever 21 but where, my thoughts are halted as we stand in front of the desk and Ashton takes the items, I hear them being scanned, sounds like a lot! I listen carefully, hoping the currency is said. "That'll be 30 Dollars," the Clark says to Ashton, my mind explodes, dollars? That could be the United States, Puerto Rico, El Salvador, Ecuador, Panama, Somalia, Turks and Caicos Islands, Zimbabwe, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, Palau, Timor-Leste, British Virgin Islands, Marshall Islands, American Samoa, Federated States of Micronesia, Northern Mariana Islands, Caribbean Netherlands, Bonaire or Canada! Either way, I'm definitely not where I thought I was and 100% not "home". I want to panic, but I hold myself together.

A/N: And the plot thickens! I wander what happened next? Where is Evie? Where was she supposed to be? (The next chapter will be longer, to make up for this).

What do you think so far? Is there anything you'd like to see happen?
