My Beloved Friend

30. Family Line

Eva's P. O. V

     "Thank you." I say as Will hands me my drink. I open it and take a sip. "Ready to tell me what happened?" He asks. "Why, it's not going to change anything?" I ask. "No,but I want to help and talking about it helps." He says. I sigh. "I got home and went to take a shower. When I was in my bathroom he came in after I turned on the music and water. He said he wanted to switch out for the newer model, then my mom told me her and my dad were getting a divorce and Zach's moving in, I got pissed and so did Zach. I turned to walk away and he punched me so I turned and punched him back. He grabbed me by my hair and dragged me from the kitchen to the porch, once I stood up he pushed me and told me to sit and stay and the rest is history." I say shrugging. "Why would your mom bring someone like that into the house her child is in?" He says confused and rolling his eyes. "She was married to one for i don't know how many years." I say shrugging. 

   He looks at me obviously trying to study my face to tell my emotion. "I'm so used to it at this point, there's nothing I can do except wait until I'm 18 if my mom doesn't send me back to America by then." I say. "You're going back to America?" He asks. "If my mom decides to get rid of me." I say. "The fuck do you mean?" He asks confused. "She hates any sort of responsibility." I say. "Well that's a little obvious seeing that her 16 year old is working part time as a manager in a bakery, doing social media, college, and paying the bills." He says annoyed. "Doesn't Tom helps his parents with bills?" I ask. "No! His parents provide for him because that's what parents do." He says. "Where I come from that's called spoiled." I say giggling. "He is slightly spoiled." Will says laughing.   Family Line by Conan Grey comes on. "Should I make a cover of this." I ask turning it up a little and singing with it. "Yeah for sure." He says smiling.

    We continue to drive around and talk about random interests. "It's already 7:48." I say irritated. "I know, I'm sorry. I really don't want you to go back." Will says looking stressed. "It's fine Will, I'll fight back if anything happens. I won't let him hurt me." I say giving him a reassuring smile. "Eva, it's the fact that you have to say that is fucked up." He says. "I can handle myself." I say giggling. "Just stay in your room as much as possible okay?" He says looking at me. "Yes now focus on the road dare devil." I say giggling. I then remember that I have to take my driving test soon. "Oh, I have to go take my driving test in like 2 days so I need you to go with me to buy a car." I say. He looks at me confused. "Don't you need your mom for that?" He asks.

    "No, I just can't put it in my name. I'm paying in full with cash, sooo can I please put it in your name, I'll get my own insurance." I say pleading. "Why can't you just have your mom?" He asks. "She'll take it, have you seen her little shit box?" I ask giggling. "True, I mean I guess you can." He says laughing. "You're the best big brother ever." I say jokingly. "I better be." He says joking. I giggle and gently hit his shoulder. "Red flag, flirting with an adult mann who you just called your big bro." He says. "Shut the fuck up or I'll hit you how I hit Tom." I say giving him a death glare. "How do you hit Tom?" He asks scared and curious. "Wait till you park." I say as he starts turning into my driveway. He put the car in park and I hit him slightly hard. "What the fuck you twat!" He yells jokingly.  "Mood, call me when you get home so we can stream." I say smiling. He nods and agrees. "Bye." I say waving. I walk into the house and see my mom and Zach drinking on the couch. 

    "Hey, can you please keep the noise to a maximum. I have to record a video and then stream." I say. "Yeah for all 5 viewers." Zach says laughing. "Well those 5 viewers bought that beer and pay the bills." I say before going upstairs. "You constantly talk shit don't you bitch." He yells.  "No but you constantly smell like it!" I yell back as I open the door to my room. I quickly take another shower before braiding my hair and doing my makeup, I then put on grey joggers, a black cropped tank top, and a grey over sized jacket.  I record the cover of Family Line. Once I'm done I edit it which doesn't take long and start uploading it. I go over to my pc and start setting up for my stream. I tweet it and answer Will's call before starting it. "Helloooo people!" I say excited. "So I get to go buy a car soon and Mr. Soot being the lovely human he is, is going to take me and I'm excited but scared because I don't know anything about cars." I say giggling. "Just saw you're cover I love it so much, aw thank you so much." I say smiling. "Oi!" Tom screams in my headphones out of no where causing me to jump and fall over in my chair. "Clip that, clip that, clip that!" Tom yells as he laughs. "Shut up bitch." I say laughing and standing up before fixing my chair. "I know car stuff." He says in his gremlin voice. "Is that right now gremlin?" I ask giggling as I sit. "Yes, I'm a man!" He says making me laugh. "Says the single leg hair." I say joking. "I have an extreme amount of hair on my legs thank you very much miss imma play in the mud when it's freezing." He says. "I was being one with nature okay!" I yell making him lose it. 

   "Hello Eva." Will says softly. "Hi Will." I say happily. "I know a little bit about cars, enough to help you pick one out. You realize this right?" He asks followed by a soft chuckle. "You do?" I ask shocked. "Yes Eva, I do." He says giggling. "You're awesome." I say laughing. "Thank you." We play minecraft for one of Tom's videos. He keeps killing me over and over again without giving me a chance to escape or fight. "Fucking stop it you bitch!" I yell laughing. Next thing I know my doors being thrown open. "Hey shut the fuck up!" Zach yells. I quickly mute myself. "I have 500k viewers watching live get the fuck out." I say pissed off. "Oh dear, Eva seems to be getting chewed out." Tom says. "Tom shush it." Will says giggling trying to play it cool. "Wanna sleep outside shut the fuck up." He says slamming my door. "I said leave her alone when shes streaming!" My mom yells. They get into a screaming match and I have to unmute myself so I play background music before doing so. "Sorry I got too loud." I say giggling. "It's okay, happens to Tom all the time." Will says making me laugh a little. They get louder than my back ground music. "Eva isn't it passed your screen time?" Will asks. "Fun fact, limiting your screen time can increase serotonin levels." He says. "Yeah sadly." I say sighing. I say my goodbyes and end my stream.

     I lock my door and then go to my bed and grab my phone. I guess some things never change. I sigh and grab my airpods and put them in before turning on a random playlist. Sometimes this house makes me feel even more alone than anything else.
