Dangerous Thirst

Chapter Six

• Evelynn •
My head throbs as I wake from my slumber. I grip my forehead and squint my eyes against the sun, the sun that's daring to threaten my mood. I want to go back to bed but I know my mom and Anika, Kades mom wanted to go shopping with me. I gather the courage to push myself out of bed as stand up I nearly cry in pain as my head pounds more each step I take.
       I see Joshua walking past my room, "Joshy, can you please bring me some ibuprofen? My head is killing me." He nods his head and continues in his path. I shut my curtains as I pass by them on my way to the bathroom that is in my room. Thank gosh Kade thought to put blackout curtains in. I bend down over the sink folding my arms to rest my head on. I feel sick to my stomach but I refuse to throw up, I'm so terrified of it. I shut my eyes, waiting for my brother.

Way too many minutes later...
     "Hey Ev, I got you some ibuprofen and a water bottle. If you need anything else just let me know." I lift my head off the counter as I make face to face with the mirror and I almost scream in horror. I gave myself a fucking jump scare, I look like shit and I have a red line across my forehead from falling asleep over the sink. "Thank you, I love you."
     Josh leaves my room for me to rest, it's 7am in the morning and we made plans for 4:30pm that gives me 8 hours to take a nap to get rid of this awful headache. I shut every light off and cover any inch that light could shine through as I make the bed and I finally take the pills I nearly forgot about. The icy cold water hits my throat and it's a nice relief and something to soothe my cotton mouth.
     I lay on the comfortable bed, as I search for my baby blanket and stuffie that is no where to be found. I scramble around the room angering me and my head more as it almost pounds out of my body. Where the fuck is it. I bend down groaning with pain as I look under my bed thank gosh they are there but how the fuck did they get there. I can comfortably sleep now as I cuddle my beloved items.

4:26pm...
     "Evelynn... Ev.. EVELYNN ROSE" I jolt from my sleep as my mother calls my name, "Yes??" Yawning I move my hair out of my face rolling over trying to reach for more sleep. "Are you almost ready? We will be out in the car waiting for you, meet us out there soon." ALMOST READY!? I shoot up out of bed and run to my drawer pulling out whatever clothes I found first. I pull on my leggings faster than flash can run and quickly pull my crewneck sweater over my head. I pull my Nike socks over my leggings scrunching them slightly and pair my outfit with my air force 1s before I look in the mirror to throw my hair in a quick messy bun as I pull two strands out in front. I look just like a typical basic white girl, but it's cute. I look at the time on my phone as I'm about to throw some real fast mascara on. 4:29!? I grab my three mascaras and eyelash curler with eyeliner as I sprint out of my room.

     The guys greet me as they see me running like a lunatic around the house trying to find my AirPods. I spot them on the in-table by the door, "hi, bye!" I fling the door shut as I run to the car.

Interrupting their conversation I throw myself in the backseat, with a huff I say, "hey" nervously and out of breath. Smiling back at me before pulling out of the driveway I see my mom on the Starbucks app. Omg thank goshhh I nearly scream in excitement before I remember I'm in the car. My headache trying to comeback I pop three ibuprofen pills that I already had in my lulu bag I got generously gifted for Christmas.

We are middle classed me and my family, we have a beautiful house with a big backyard with a inground pool. That I am forever grateful for, but by no means are we rich. The little things like this is what makes me so happy. I don't need a fancy car, or fancy $150 nails to make me happy. I couldn't be more happy to have something from a store as expensive as lulu is. Let alone the pretty pink Kendra Scott necklace that sits prettily on my neck. It doesn't take much to make me happy. Pink roses, white roses, white sunflowers, flowers in general would make me love you forever.
