Does It Ever Get Better? (On Hold. Again. I'm Sorry)

"Losing A Friend Or Two." - Chapter 17 (part 2)

Evan's p.o.v.

We arrived at their house about thirty-six minutes later. It was too short of a drive for my liking. Michael wouldn't even let me explain. I shouldn't be apologizing, they should. He just kept saying, Nothing should result in violence. If only he knew. Once we were there, Michael had to drag me to the door. He knocked and Steve, their Father, opened the door. He was tall, slightly taller than Michael and had a gut to him. He always wore a baseball cap of some sort, but underneath he was bald. He had a full grown beard that was a bit more on the grey side. His eyes were dark brown and I've noticed that's where the twins get it from. To top it off he wore thin-framed circular glasses. Steve smiled at Michael and then frowned when he saw me. Not a surprise. "Hello, Steve. My little sister would like to-" Michael looked down at me. "-explain herself." Then he looked back up at Steve.

"Sure. Come on in." He said. He didn't seem like he wanted to agree to that, but he moved aside to let us in. See the thing about Steve is he is really nice and way more understanding than- "Karen!" Steve yelled. I took a moment to take in Steve's outfit choice. It wasn't anything special, just beat-up white sneakers, long grey camouflage shorts, and a shirt with some sort of show displayed on it.

The clicking of heels came booming from the kitchen. "Yeah, Steve?" She called back she entered the main hallway. Her dim green eyes landed on me. She looked at me with disgust written all on her face. She was quite a bit shorter than Michael, but still taller than me. Most everyone was. Her hair was long, wavy, and brown. She was a bit on the heavier side. Her outfit consisted of dark blue jeans, black heals of some sort, and a light red turtle neck. She also had similar glasses too Steve.

"Hi, Karen. Evan just wanted to explain." Michael cut in.

"Well, she doesn't have to explain to us. It's the twins she got to explain it to." Karen said and pointed upstairs. Michael pushed me in the direction of the stairs.

I rolled my eyes and walked up the stairs. When I reached Hope and Faith's bedroom door that was slightly cracked opened, I could hear laughter from inside. I looked in to see Faith cleaning up Hope's face with a makeup wipe? I leaned in closer and at this time, Hope was facing the mirror, so I could see her face clearly from where I was. Her bruise had faded as if it was never even there. The Blood was on a wipe, next to a bottle of fake blood. I leaned closer, but perhaps a little too close because I hit the floor. Both girls faced me with shock written all over their faces. "How dare you enter our room!" Faith shouted.

"You fucking liars!" I yelled.

"Guys, calm down-" Hope started, but was cut off.

Faith faced Hope. "Stop pretending to be all buddy-buddy with her!" She said, acting as if I wasn't there. "She's a useless bitch. We got what we wanted. We don't need her anymore."

Ouch. "What was your plan?" I asked.

"Isn't it oblivious?" Hope's accent rang through my ears.

Now that I think about it, I didn't even punch her in the face. I punched her in the side. "I punched you in the side!" I reminded her and myself out loud.

"Correct, but we figured what a better way to stop being friends with you." Faith said.

"You could have said that to me?" I answered in a duh manner. "Why? We were good friends, or so I thought." I added.

"Well, you thought wrong. Skank." Faith replied.

I was crushed. The only girls I thought were my friends, are now strangers. "Hope?"

"Listen, slut, get out and move on. We already moved on from you." Faith glared and then went back to cleaning up Hope's face.

I nodded slowly before getting up and walking back downstairs. "There you are, Baby. Everything okay?" Michael asked.

"Yeah, Fine. Can we just go home?" I asked softly and kept my eyes on the ground.

"Sure." Michael said and then bid the twins parents a farewell as did I before we left. We drove home and on the way I told Michael everything. He didn't like any part of the story. He didn't like how the twins treated me, but he also still didn't agree with me using violence. I suppose I can understand where he's coming from. I am his precious baby sister after all. Despite him still not liking how I handled it, Michael being a generous, caring brother, got us milkshakes for the rest of the ride. Soon enough we were home and so was everyone else. It was going well until Devon started being a dick to me. Long story short, I asked Jordan to drive me to Gavin's house. He said no. Then I asked Devon and lo and behold Devon being the asshole he is, teased me, but in conclusion, said no. I didn't need to deal with anymore bullshit today, so I walked. I would have asked Michael but he was busy with work opportunities. After hanging out with Gavin for a while, I ended up telling him about the twins. He was not happy. Although he tried desperately to hide it, I could still tell.

Gavin's p.o.v.

I woke up kind of angry. Guess I got a lot on my mind. Between the twins, to my dog being sick, Annabel nonstop crying, Ivy being a bitch, and funny enough Jackie got poison ivy. He's doing better now. My parents are also constantly working. It's all just too much. I'm going to have a serious talk with the twins today. I don't have to worry about Evan because she doesn't have to go to school for a bit. Sadly, she got suspended, but I don't blame her for what she did. While at school, walking to my next class, I saw the twins laughing with Maddison and a girl named Laura that I've only seen around a few time. I'm so mad right now, I don't even care if I get picked on, or what happens. So I marched up to them. "What the fuck is your problem?!" I shouted.

"Gavie, what's wrong?" Hope asked.

"Don't call me that! I can't believe you did that to Evan!" I shouted louder and by now the other girls walked off, but not before giving me dirty looks. Like I care.

"What? That disgusting, smelly skank?" Faith asked.

"Don't call her that, you whore!" I never spoke like that. I was against being rude to women. I was against disrespecting them. I never swore, but right now all my morals went out the window. I then slapped everything out of their hands. Hope started crying.

"Gavie, baby, we don't need that diseased thing. We can still be friends." Faith said.

"No. You're wrong! She doesn't need you ungrateful fucks. She's the best person you could ever meet and since you're too busy being popular cunts, she's going to be with me. I'm going to be with her. So never- And I mean never talk to me again!" By now they were both crying. I'm sure they were just faking. I still had so much anger coursing through me. I couldn't stay here any longer. I left school to go to the park close by. After I took a few deep breaths, I texted Anthony to come get me which he gladly did. Once I was in his car, we started driving home. Except it didn't go too smoothly.
