EVELYN'S POV

I was walking out of the building with tears in my eyes.

Why me?

Just, why me?

I reached my car and opened the door.

I got in and began pounding the steering wheel.

"Why me! It's always fucking me!"

I was sobbing and my eyes were burning from the tears.

I heard a knock on the window and looked up.

Connor.

I rolled the window down and wiped away my tears.

"Yes?"

"Get in the passenger seat."

"Huh?"

"Go."

I followed his rules and climbed over the consul.

"What are you doing."

"We're gonna have a fucking blast today."

"What?"

"I'm taking you out to get your mind off of things."

"Connor it's fine, I don't want you spending anymore money, not after you bought those tickets."

"It's alright, you deserve it."

Connor began driving out of the school parking lot and I saw my favorite place come into view.

"Starbucks!"

"That's right princess. Anything you want."

"But it's expensive."

Connor looked at me with an unamused look.

"Okay, sorry. Thank you."

I thought of what I wanted while we got in the drive thru.

"Welcome to Starbucks, what can I get for you?"

"What do you want?"

"The peach refresher with a splash of lemonade and a chocolate cake pop."

"Okay, can I get a peach refresher with a splash of lemonade and a chocolate cake pop?"

"Of course! Is that all?"

"Yes."

"Okay, your total is $9.04. Please pay at the first window."

"Okay thank you."

CONNOR'S POV

"Thank you so much for bringing me here."

"Your welcome my love."

Evelyn learned over the consul and kissed my cheek.

"I love you."

"I love you more beautiful."

"Not possible."

"Yes it is."

"Nope."

"Uh yea."

"Whatevs."

I chuckled to myself and pulled up to the first window.

"Thank you so much, enjoy your drinks."

"Thank you."

"My pleasure."

I drove off to the mall and guided Evelyn inside.
