one little mistake

~chapter 3~ the same direction

He finally gets on the bus and goes back home, his mom not there. He wonders where she has gone, he sits and waits for her to appear but never does. After about 2 hours of her not being home and not responding to his texts he gets worried. He calls the police and tells them everything then he goes searching. He checks every place she possibly could be. None of which she is. He checks for 3 hours but she's nowhere to be seen, so he sits on his bed and cry's worried, hands shaky, cheeks dripping with tears as salty as the ocean. Finally his mother comes home and wakes him up.
"Hunny it's time for school" she politely wakes him up.
"Mother where have you been" he angerly says
"Wdym hunny I was home, you came home said goodnight then went to bed because you were tired"
"Oh sorry mom" [shit it must've been a dream then] he thinks to himself and can't get that out of his head the whole day at school. But he goes to first period then all of his classes worried sick that it could be another dream.
★btw he tried to overdose and drank alcohol to seduce the pain★
But then one of his teachers sees him wobbling around so she stops him and asks what the hell is going on and he answers with, "sorry ma'am I'm tired and haven't anything to eat" without memory of trying to overdose and drink he continues to his bus. He gets home and sits on his bed and goes to read, his head bobbing back and forth, his breath short, his taste being gone, him being dizzy he decides to lay down and go to bed again. The days go on and on but then one day something special happens. He wakes up and goes to school like any other day. Finally he makes it to school and today he actually felt okay. He walks to first period and his teacher announces that there is gonna be a new student so he waits and waits, then he looks back as the door opens and is stunned at how fricking stunning the new student is. He's mesmerized and as the new girl sits down he consistently glances at her wondering how she could look so perfect. Hes shy but really wants to say hi and as he thinks more and more about her she catches his eyes and just sits there and stares for a second. She seems like a player but also a shy, smart, genuine girl. After the bell rings she gets up and walks over to him offering for him to show her around. Evander sits and thinks for a moment. [It can't be true, she's not talking to me, fuck did I relapse last night. Don't sit there just say something, oh come on coward] he pauses then says "of course my lady, what is your second period" she points to her paper showing him, so he leads her to her next class and it is also his class. Once they enter the class he sits down as she sits right next to him not having any friends. She gets out the stuff she needs and gets out her computer and does her work. Evander being the player/shy soft boy he is he stretches and wraps his arm around her and asks how her day has been so far. And she replies with "it's been good, what's your name my good sir?"
He gets super flustered swallowing his words he then says "g-good, wa-wait I mean it's evander" and chuckles softly.
"Well nice to meet you evander"
