Because Of Her.

61 | Scary dude.

Just a quick disclaimer : I was reading some of your requests about getting Liam and Evanna back together ASAP— like you guys are tired and feel like it's been stretch out but the point that you all are missing is that—IT'S not even a MONTH since Evanna found about truth behind Liam's intentions towards her. I understand that you guys are tired and want them together so badly but do see it that—you are tired because you've been reading this story for like... what more than a year so according to your time, it's taking longer for them but story POV ... it's not even a month. She can't just forgive him in this short amount of time when she is having her own issues, bound by promise of her friendship towards Selena and also what she actually wants. It's a turmoil for her.

It may be longer for you and tiring but for Evanna and Liam, it's not. It's a starting phase for them. Just think about it and answer me—will you be able to forgive someone in days for what they did, like Liam?

"What?" I almost bark in the phone, startling the dog near me.

"Yeah, Liam came to me today... I mean yesterday and he said that you're not going with us."

"Wh—wha—How—I didn't say anything." I can't seem to speak properly due to how shocked I am.

"Hello? Evanna? I didn't hear you. Are you there?"

"Yes, I am. I just don't understand...he came to you but I didn't say anything!"

"But he said that you did."

"Well he said that to you Connor but did you hear me say that?"

"I thought you're shy to tell me that and send him on your behalf."

"No I fucking did not send him. I—I can't believe this. How could you just listen him and abide by it? You should have consulted me." I shout, tugging on my hairs.

This is really unacceptable. First I can't wrap my head around that Liam went behind my back and cancelled my transportation to Vermont. Lied that I'm not coming. Second, Connor who, we made responsible for this, just believed Liam and left me here. He didn't so as to think about asking me first. It's like agreeing on those fake calls you get acting like your bank, asking about your details.

"Well I —he sounded so sure and—" He fumbles. "Wait...so you really didn't cancel it?"

"No Connor! Did you not hear me just now? Did I say to you once that I'm not coming? Infact we talked yesterday in class, we discussed that I'm coming and what we can do whilst driving to Vermont. You didn't even think this through that some person which is not me waltzed in and cancel my only way to there?" I can't seem to control my voice. Although I'm shouting but there's no anger, there's panic.

Panic because I'm here in the middle of darkness, standing, was waiting for bus and now I just found out that I'm left up here.

"I—I don't know what to say Evanna. I know I was at fault for not consulting with you but it's just —" He hesitates.

"It's just what?"

"That dude is scary. Face it, Evanna." I was not expecting him to say that.

"What?"

"He came to me and with that look, all I could do is agree. I didn't even think to ask you. He said with so much seriousness that there was no room for argument. I do not wanted to be the face to his fist." He says and all I can do is to bend down before adopting the crouching position.

"I'm sorry Evanna." He adds and I rub my forehead with my unoccupied hand.

"Okay tell me where are you right now?" I ask him urgently.
