Falling for you

5

"And I know you do to"

I had finally found him. After almost 3 years. I had found him. My eyes started to fill with tears, I had needed him this whole time, I grabbed him pulling him into a hug. I clutched onto his shirt crying into his chest just like last time, but this time I was determined to ever let him go.

"Eve? Are you ok?" He asked softly. "W-why did y-you leave?" I asked still balling my eyes out. "What do you mean?" "Y-you left me, a-alone th-there." I said shakily. "Where?" He was genuinely confused. "Th-the hospital." He had then realized that it was me all along. "I, uhh." I squeezed him tighter. "I-I thought you needed time with your family, plus I had no idea who you were." He said slowly. "W-well y-you do now, so p-please don't l-leave me." I said still crying. "I won't, I promise." He then wrapped his arms around me squeezing me tight.

We stayed like that for a bit. And I was glad we did, I needed it. This what I have been longing for since that day.

"Eve?" He asked after a while. "Y-yea?" I sniffled. "Are you ok now?" "Umm, yea." I said finally letting go of him, I didn't want to but I had to. We sat there with in a really awkward silence. "Umm, can we leave?" I asked. "Uh yea, do you want me to take you back to Jack's?" He asked standing up. I nodded slowly preparing myself for the talk I was going to have with Jack when I get home.

When we got there Austin insisted on walking me to the door. Before I went inside I turned to look at him. "Austin, I just wanted to thank you for that night, my thoughts overtook me, I didn't want to jump, I would have to two most important people on my life but that was the only way to stop the thoughts. So I thank you for coming to save me that night." I really was thankful for what he did, it didn't only save my life but probably Evan and Jack's too. "Of course, I saw you and thought that you needed someone to come into your life and tell you that there is a reason for living and you shouldn't just throw it away." I didn't know how to say how I felt so I just hugged him hoping he could translate. "I know." He said, he knew exactly what I wanted to tell him.

"Ok, I'm going to go inside now." I said pulling away. "Ok, bye!" He said as he watched me walk inside. It was so quiet inside. I walked down the long dreaded hallway. I slowly walked down the hallway preparing myself for every second of our conversation.

When I finally arrived at Jack's bedroom door I stood there staring at it. I didn't want to have to see his hurt face, but it was the only way to get my best friend back. I knocked on the door twice awaiting a response.

"Who is it?" He said dryly. "E-Eve." I said, 'why am I stuttering?!' "What do you want?" He said annoyed. "C-can I come in?" I asked terrified. "Fine." I opened the door and slowly walked in. "What do you want?" He said looking annoyed. "I, uh..." I was so scared I completely forgot what I was going to say. "I, uh. Fucking say what you want and get the Hell out of my room." He said mockingly. "I-I just wanted to say I'm sorry and that you were right, I should have listened to you." I said just loud enough that he could hear me. "Yea, well you messed up and I can't forgive you for what you said that day. I'm sorry." "I-it's ok." I said, I turned around and walked out of his room. I had lost my best friend. I burst in to tears and ran out the door.

(Jack's POV)
As I watch Eve leave my room I felt a deep feeling of regret. I so badly wanted to run up to her and give her a big hug but I couldn't, not after what she said to me that night.

(Back to Eve's POV)
I ran about block away and found a bench to sit on. I so badly wanted Austin, but I don't know why. I have no clue where he lives and I can't just knock on random doors. I needed a break for the real world, I honestly just need someone to talk to. I went into my contacts to look for my therapist but as I was scrolling I noticed something. It was a contact I had never seen before, when I looked at the name I knew exactly who it was. The name read:
The guy on the roof🙃

I was relieved, I could finally talk to him. But how did that get in my phone? Whatever. I called Austin, after the second ring he answered.

Austin:
Hello?

Me:
A-Austin?

Austin:
Eve are you ok?!

Me:
J-Jack, h-he w-won't forgive m-me.

Austin:
I'm really sorry, do you need me to do anything for you?

Me:
Mhm

Austin:
What is it?

Me:
I-I need a p-place to s-stay tonight.

Austin:
Where are you?

Me:
I don't know, I'll send you my location.

Austin:
Ok, I'll see you then.

Me:
Ok

Austin:
Bye

Me:
Bye

After a while Austin pulled up in his car. He ran out of his car as I got up and ran to him. I wrapped my arms around his chest and he wrapped his around my body. I felt comforted by his touch, but I still don't know why.

"I missed you"
