Little touch of heaven

Chapter six

Everleighs Pov

The front door opens and Thomas walks in with two pizza boxes. ''I got two pizzas, you get plates and drinks. We're sitting at the dinner table.'' I get up and grab two plates and two glasses of water. I go sit across from Thomas.

''I got you your favorite, Pizza margherita.'' ''Thanks.'' I give him a small smile. ''Okay so let's start with the beginning. Why did you skip school?'' ''I don't know. Just didn't feel like it.'' I say while taking a bite of my pizza. O god this pizza is heaven.

''I know you Evie. You used to love to learn.'' ''Things change.'' I shrug. ''I know that Ev, but we have to learn to live with it. You're running away from it. You can't do that you have to try.'' ''I am trying. I am living with it.'' I say a little angry that he thinks I'm not even trying.

I am fucking trying. I have been trying to stay alive ever since everything happened. ''We never talked about what happened. I think you need to. I think you need to let it all out so you can let it go.'' I shake my head. ''There is nothing to talk about.''

''Evie you can't continue like this. You can't go around skipping school whenever you feel like it. You can't go to parties every weekend and especially not on school days. How do you even get in you're underadged?'' ''I don't know I just look older I guess.'' Ofcourse I know, but I don't need him to get even madder.

''There is too much to talk about, Evie. You can't hold it in forever. You will go to your appointment on monday at 10AM.'' ''There is nothing to talk about and I'm not going.'' ''Evie stop arguing. You are going and that's final. I took time off of work for 2 hours so I can go with you.'' Well shit. Now I have to go.

''You don't have to do that.'' ''Oh yes I do. I know you.'' I let out a frustrated sight. ''I'm absolutely fine. I don't need a fucking therapist.'' I'm fine. I don't need to talk. ''You're fine? right.'' ''What's that supposed to mean?'' I ask annoyed. ''You're not fine Evie. You're still not getting in cars. You're skipping school again. You started partying every weekend.''

''So what. I don't like cars, I like to walk. I'm a teenager they skip school and party.'' ''I have been a teenager too Evie and what you are doing is not normal. You used to love cars. You always went to races with dad. You need help before this whatever it is will eat you alive.'' This is the first time he said 'dad'. He is right. I used to love cars, especially racing.

I shake my head and stand up. I need to get out of here. ''Where are you going?'' ''For a walk.'' ''No you're not. We're not finished talking.'' I don't answer, I just walk away. ''Everleigh Rose Turner. Get the fuck back here. I put on my sneakers. ''Leave me the fuck alone.'' I scream as I slam the door closed. Maybe he didn't deserve that.

I just start walking. My anger keeps building up in me. I need to hit something so bad. Maybe I have a little bit of anger issues. Not that big of a deal. I don't know where I'm going. Wherever my feet lead me I guess. Tears just start falling down my face.

It's just all getting too much. I miss my parents. I don't need help. I hate school. Thomas is way up in my business. I just start running. I know it doesn't help and the doctor forbade me to run, but for this moment it feels like it helps. Like I can just run away from my problems.

''Everleigh?'' What the hell. I turn around and see this big dirty old man staring at me with a smirk. He has gray hair and brown eyes. ''Who the fuck are you?'' ''I'm a friend of your mom, Soney.'' Soney what a weird name, but I feel like I've heard it before. ''My mom is dead.'' Wow I just shocked the living shits out of myself. That's the first time I said it outloud.

What the fuck does this guy want from me? ''Well that's to bad, but she still has a debt to pay and since see is dead I thought you could be so sweet to do that for your mom.'' What the fuck. ''Leave me alone. I got nothing to do with this.'' Please just go away. ''Not until you give me my money.'' He steps forward and tries to grab my arm, but I pull it away.
