cigarettes out the window

It's the middle of the night and I can't sleep. I think about my conversation with Tom. Did my mom really give up on me? A part of me is happy but it's just sad to think that the woman that gave me life doesn't care.
«y/n can you stop moving?» Eva says
«sorry»
she turn her body to face me «what's wrong? talk to me»
«my parents.. do you think they don't care anymore?»
«I think that they realised it's better to let you go.» she answers almost immediately
«you know uhm.. a few week ago they called me and said that they knew you were with me and that they want you to never return, because they know it's better this way»
«really?» I ask in shock. She nods and take my hand
«come on, let's go to sleep»
I nod and close my eyes.

8:30 am
everyone is at work and since I don't have anything to do at home Im with Ev in her studio.
«you sure you wanna stay with me?»she asks. I nod.
«alright, after this next client I'm going to do something with my hair at my friends house, wanna come?»
«sure I have nothing to do today»
Suddenly I hear a notification; it's Tom.

<heyy what you doing?>

<I'm shaving my balls>

<I'm sorry what >

<jk Im with eva rn>

<oh alright, having fun without me?>

<yeah so much fun, you?>

<I feel like my finger bleeding but yeah>

<haha>

<yk it's not very kind to laugh at someone when they're in pain>

<haha>

<stop>

<haha>

<ok bye>

<haha bye>

<...Love you>

<love you too<3>

I look up and see Eva looking at me. She's smirking and laughing
«was it Tom?»
«yep»
«I could tell»
I roll my eyes and smile.

it's 1 pm and now we're going to Eva's friends house. As we arrive we talk more about her feelings for my cousin.
«you know that one day you'll confess right?»
«I knoooww it's just.. I JUST.. AGH»
I laugh at her frustration
«I just want HIM to confess to me»
«he's stupid he will never make the first step» after I say that we hear a notification on her phone. She reads the text and smile
«he asked me out on a date!»
«wait what» I ask
«I KNOW OMAGAD» she starts twirling around and jumping.

We arrive at the apartment. We knock and wait for her to open.
The doorknob turns and the door finally opens.
«heyy Eva» thy give each other a hug
«hii stella, this is my girly y/n, y/n this is stella» I wave at her and she does the same. She's a very pretty girl. She has braid boxes and a lot of tattoos n piercings.
«I love your syle» I compliment her
«aww thanks! come on in!»
We enter and the place is amazing. There paintings and statues everywhere, crazy ass lamps, incense, candles and bongs.
«Your house is amazing as well»
She smiles at me.
«Ok so tell me hat you want to do with your hair»
«dreads» Eva answers
«uhh it will look fabulous on you»
I agree, this hairstyle would look so good on Eva, even tho she's chinese thy suit her.
Stella starts working and proceeds to ask me about myself.
«are you single by any chance?» she asks suddenly
«oh.. well I'm actually dating someone»
«oh alright thats cool. tell me about them» I smile and feel glad about her being understanding
«He's a really cool person. He's kind when he wants to and he plays a lot of instruments, like guitar and drums.»
«that's impressive, you're both pretty lucky to have each other» My heart warms up at her words. I guess I am lucky to have him.
