Chasing Evelyn

38

-Elijah Harper-

Evelyn wouldn't leave my side when I was sick to the point she got sick.

I had to buy medicine for her along with whatever she needed and felt necessary.

My eyes flicker when my phone and see Alastair was calling me.

He kept calling me when I didn't pick up to the point I almost blocked him.

"What." I grumbled, I hear shuffling in the background "where are you?" He asks.

"I'm at the store picking stuff up for Evelyn." I say getting a hum "once your done get over to my office." He says.

I sigh and agree not wanting to go, thought you quit. I thought so too.

I finish grabbing whatever and paid before going to my car and starting it.

I hate having to drive to this place considering how far it is. It's only an hour. I could've done a lot in that hour.

Getting out of my car and walking to his office makes me annoyed.

I don't know why Alastair wanted me in his office but now I have to wait for him.

Which takes forever, I'm left with a very hyper Aliyah right now, she blames the drink she had.

She smiled seeing Alastair walking in, "why did you want me here." I asked, he sighed and sat on his desk.

"Claire and I figured something out about you, it's not anything bad." He starts off with, i nod my head slowly "and?" I ask.

"You have a sister." He says making my eyes widened "who." I ask, he takes papers out and shows to us "the girl you found in that building that one night. Sydney, turns out she is related to you." He says.

"Evelyn mentioned it to me and I decided to look into it, we also found this" he says showing more papers.

My eyes skin over them "Devon found out about her and he wanted to take her to get you back, but he never got that far into the plan, somehow he found someone to continue it." Alastair continued.

"That's why she was in the building. She was supposed to be a way to get you back there." He says making me nod slowly.

"And does she know about this? I thought he killed our parents after." I say, Alastair shrugs "either your mother or father got away, she's your half siblings though." He says.

"And no we haven't told her yet, we planned on telling you first since you understand everything that he's done." Alastair finishes.

"So what now? Do you plan on telling her?" I ask, Alastair nods "Claire and Cesare will still be her legal guardian, and we plan on telling her soon." He says.

I nod my head slowly processing everything. "When did you find out." I ask, Alastair grabs papers reading them "a few days ago, we had to make sure this was true before letting you know." He continued.

"We? As in?" I ask, he sighed "Claire, Evelyn and I." He finished making me nod.

"I thought Evelyn wasn't apart of this." I ask, he shrugged "she asked us to look into it, said when she met Sydney you guys looked similar. Since she asked I looked into it." Alastair said and I nod again.

"This doesn't mean I work for you again does it." I grumbled, Alastair shook his head "that decision is up for you, whatever your decision is no one gets to know you worked for me, or even knew about this." He said crossing his arms, I sighed and nodded.

"Can I go now? Evelyn isn't feeling good." I say getting a nod "before you leave let Claire know you heard about this." He says signing papers and I walk out.

Cesare opened the door when I knocked on it, still haven't gotten used to being around an Evans.

"What." Claire grumbled grabbing stuff "Alastair wanted me to tell you that I know about Sydney being my half sister." I say, Claire freezes and looks at me.

"And?" She asks, I shrug "he just told me to tell you." I say getting a nod, Claire crosses her arms over her chest.

"Sydney will find out when I get home, if you want your welcomed to come over." She says and i nod "I can't I have to take care of Evelyn." I say.

Claire freezes again "what happened." She asks, "i got her sick, since she wouldn't leave my side." I say getting a glare from her.

"What happened to you not hurting her." She glared, this time I glare at her "I didn't do it intentionally." I say getting a grumble from her.

"Fine, go I have things to do." She says and I walk out getting in my car and driving home.

I stare in confusion seeing Evelyn laying on the couch with Cheeto laying on top of her back.

"Thought you were staying in our room?" I ask walking towards her, Evelyn tried looking at me "the bed got uncomfortable." She mumbles.

I nod my head slowly and sit by her, Evelyn rests her head on my thigh as I hand her the medicine that she takes.

"Feeling any better?" I ask, she shakes her head "I keep throwing up almost everytime I eat something." She mumbled.

I nod "I got you soup, you should be okay if I give you that." I say and she nodded her head "can you make that please?" She asks and I nod getting up.

I kiss her head and walk towards the kitchen, her focus was on the TV as she watched some kids show most likely.

I stare as the orange fur-ball is now staring up at me "what do you want you little shit." I grumbled, she tries crawling up my leg but I keep putting her on the floor.

"Evelyn if this cat doesn't stop bothering me I'm locking her in the cabinet again." I grumbled.

Evelyn shoot's up and glared at me "i knew that was you, weirdo. Can't believe you told me it wasn't" she mumbled the last part. Forgot about that.

I pick up the cat and give her to Evelyn "don't follow me." I glared at Cheeto who's laying on Evelyn's back again.

When I finished the soup I brought it over to Evelyn "can you move Cheeto off my back." She mumbles, I nodded and picked up the cat moving her.

"Here, Ev" I say handing her the bowl of soup when she sits up, she smiles softly and eats it.

"Feeling better?" I ask and she nods "I don't feel like throwing up so that's good." She says softly.

Evelyn lays her head on my lap and looks at me smiling "thank you for taking care of me" she says and I nod kissing her forehead "of course, angel" I say playing with her hair.

Her smile got bigger when Cheeto stood on her chest starting down at her.

Evelyn swats my arm when I got to move the cat "I'm still mad at you for locking her in the cabinet" she grumbled

"Cheeto was being annoying." I say, Evelyn glared at me "so if I'm being annoying your gonna lock me in a cabinet?" She asked.

I stare at her a shake my head slowly "you aren't annoying angel, plus the only thing I'd get mad at you for is that fucking attitude." I say, Evelyn glares at me again.

"Your annoying, I'd lock you in a cabinet if I could" she says, I smirked "as long as your in that cabinet then I'm fine with that." I say hovering my lips over her's

I glared at the orange furball when she pushed her head between us. Evelyn of course thought it was adorable.

I need to write smut.

I'd plan on making Sydney and Elijah siblings when I first introduced her, and I sorta made a little hint when Evelyn met her.
