In The Blink Of An Eye

No Bed, No Couch

I looked at Evan and he was so mad.

"Evan, I'm really sorry. I don't know what that was about."

"He's in love with you, that's what. I told you that a long time ago."

"Who, Phil? Omg no. He was never in love with me. He just let his emotions get to him. Phil likes all women like that."

"You should invite your friends over as soon as we set up the house."

"I was planning on it. I think it's about time."

"You're right, and you need to tell them the truth."

"You're not just saying that because of Phil, right?"

"No, they are your friends and they deserve to know."

I knew he was right. They did deserve to know, but not even my parents knew yet. I hadn't talked to anybody, but I wasn't planning on staying here forever. I was planning on going back to Duskwood if he hadn't shown up. But, I guess I couldn't hide here forever and forget about my life and friends. It wasn't fair. After all, it wasn't any of their faults. The only person who hurt me was Jake, not them. Evan and I arrived at the first city we found. It wasn't a huge city, but they had what we needed. A big furniture store. We got out of the car and walked inside. Wow this was so much bigger on the inside then it looked on the outside. At least we wouldn't have to go to multiple stores, I was sure we would find everything we needed here.

All of a sudden something came to my head. I looked at Evan and said,

"Evan, why are we buying new things? Where are the furniture you had in your house?"

"I sold everything."

"I'm sorry, you did what?? WHY? Were you planning on becoming homeless or what??"

"I sold everything and quit my job when I decided to look for you."

"You quit your job?? You really were planning on becoming homeless. Omg. What if I had said no, and that I didn't want to be with you?"

"Good thing I knew you wouldn't. When I said I wanted to start a fresh new life with you, I meant everything."

"You have literally lost your mind hehe."

Well, that means we had to buy EVERYTHING!!!

After hours of shopping around, picking and choosing we were finally done. I was EXHAUSTED. Who knew furniture shopping was this hard? I was just glad it was all over and that I didn't have to look at one more sofa and lamp or refrigerator in my life. I mean, why did they have so many refrigerators? Didn't they all do the same thing? As simple as it sounds, the freaking refrigerator took me the longest to pick out. All of our furniture and appliances were being delivered within the next two days.

Evan and I came back home and we were both hungry and tired. You know what the worst part was? WE ALREADY HAD A REFRIGERATOR IN THE HOUSE! But nooo, when Evan said he wanted a fresh start he meant even the things that didn't belong to us and were there for us to just use and enjoy. Ugggh, men!!! Thank God we at least had food, because when I am hungry I am very dangerous to be around.

Wowww talk about being dramatic.

I was as dangerous as a little tiny mouse, if even that. Evan and I spent the next few days decorating and redecorating since neither of us seemed to be able to make up our minds. This man was driving me crazy and I had been living with him for less than a week. This was starting off just great! Finally, and I mean FINALLY we were done. I must admit we got into a couple of arguments over furniture and where to put things. That was an argument I never thought I was going to have in my life. We were both so exhausted from decorating and moving things around all day, that we fell asleep on the couch. Imagine that! A comfy brand new bed was just there all alone waiting for someone to come and lay on it, while Evan and I were suffering and being squeezed to death on one little couch.
