Because Of Her.

24 | He is going to pay for it.

I sit inside Dylan's car my hand trembles as I close the door. The tears are running down continuously on my cheeks and before he can ask me anything. I do.
"Can we please go from here? Anywhere but here."

"Uh...yeah sure." Without any more words he steers his car out of the café I work in, taking me away from the scene that I know will take time for me to comprehend. My eyes watch through the side mirror but due to how much tears they are holding I can't focus or see anything. By the time I wipe my eyes we have already turned to the corner and Dylan stops his car.

I don't how long I continue to cry neither of us said anything and he didn't even react in any sort of way maybe he did but I am too in my mind, too in my head that I am not caring around my surroundings. It wasn't until I feel the choke and the familiar unpleasant taste hit the back of my throat. I frequently swallow but it doesn't ease and I open the doors right before I ruin the expensive car of Dylan. I retch in the sidewalk and the boy who just walks past by, yells at me. I murmur a sorry to him but due to how gibberish I sound I don't think so he understands. He mutters some curses and I focus to not vomit on anyone.

I feel a hand on my back and other that holds my hairs as spurts of water leaks from my nose. "There easy...easy." I think someone say as I put my hands on knees to hold myself together after the exhausting session.

"Here." A bottle appears in my line of vision and I take frequent deep breath before taking it. I lose my balance as I stand up too quickly and feel hands on my shoulder to steady me.

"Evanna careful!" Dylan calls. My body temperature rises due to mortification as it gets aware what he witnessed. He witnessed me puking my guts out on the middle of busy road...well side walk but still. I gulp the water and gurgle, spitting some on the trash can this time. By the time I was done cleaning my mouth and drinking some water. I turn and find Dylan seeing me with worry and surprise.

"Are you okay?" He asks worry lace in his voice and I can sense he wants to ask something more on the line of what the hell just happened instead he doesn't and I am glad.

"Yes" I croak my voice sound groggy on my ears.

"I am so sorry for...if there's anything inside your car. I will just clean it up. Give me a second I have my hank..."

"Evanna trust me that is my least worry right now. Forget about the car just tell me are you really okay? What...how...you were just fine before and suddenly..." He stops not knowing how to word the moment he left me with Liam.

"I am seriously okay. It was just something I ate." I lie and he opens his mouth probably to ask something else but I change the topic.

"Also I am sorry for what happened back there, he shouldn't have hit you and..." I hold in my tears as I watch the bruise on his cheek and the dried blood on his lip and nose. Although he some way managed to clean the wound yet some of the blood patches lies on his skin. I thought to provide him my hanky so he can clean it or maybe I could but I remain silent because I don't know if he needs help from me or not.

My heart melts when I remember how he stopped fighting Liam when I told him no. He was being mature about it unlike Liam with his childish behavior to fight him over.

"Evanna..."

"No please hear me out I know you must be angry on me right now. I invited you here in the café promised we could get a bite and maybe talk and I know it didn't go one bit what I promised. I am so sorry for the hurt I put you too and if you feel insulted with the way Liam talked to you but...I swear I didn't know tonight will go this way...I am..."
