Flower Girl. (Chris Evans)

Chapter 12

FLOR.

Good thing I never told anyone Chris and I were serious because I don't have to say out loud that we've broken up. It's been 17 days from the Downeys' Halloween party and today I'm flying to Atlanta to visit them.

"Are you sure you don't need me to stay?" I ask my sister again.

"For fuck's sake Florencia, if you want to stay, stay. But no, neither Laurel, the store or myself need you here, besides you're leaving for less than a week, we'll survive."

"What about mom and dad?"

"What about them? You did tell them you're leaving right?"

"Of course I did, but I don't know why I'm feeling so fidgety." She takes my hands and I look at her face.

"Is everything okay with Chris?" I nod "Do you want to go visit your friends?" I nod again "then don't worry about anything else. Sissy, you've been working so much for the past year, you deserve some vacations and if anything happens, I'll call you." I hug her tightly.

"Te amo hermana." she hugs me tightly.

"Te amo más, now go before you miss your flight."

"It's a private plane, it literally won't go without me." She punches my arm while rolling her eyes. "Fine, goodbye" I get of the car and walk to the airport entrance before turning around and see her waving her hand before driving away.

CHRIS.

"Hey Chris, would you come to lunch tomorrow? I'm throwing a little cast party."

"Hi Downey, isn't that supposed to be when we're wrapping up?"

"Come on man! Don't be bitter, will you come or not?"

"I don't think so, thank you though for the invite."

He stops my steps by placing himself in front of me "Out with it."

"What do you mean?"

He rolls his eyes "Christopher, we've all seen you decrease from yourself since we arrive here."

I shrug "it's the new diet to maintain the body, it isn't agreeing with my anxiety."

"Have you been sleeping well?"

"Not really, no."

"Are you eating enough?"

"To stay alive? Yes."

He rolls his eyes "and to be healthy?"

"Probably not, it's just a matter of time, don't worry."

"Are you sure you're okay?"

I know I suck at lying so I just lower my head "I'm trying okay?"

He hugs me tightly "you can call or talk to me about anything you want." And I know he means it, but I also know that he loves Flor way more than he loves me, I'm his friend but she's his family.

"Thanks Robert, it means a lot."

I walk away from him and to my trailer, truth is I've been living from basics, I eat once or twice a day, I can't sleep much so I've been surviving on energy drinks and all of that only makes my anxiety worse, I'm on edge all the time, I'm fidgety, I'm cranky, I'm not feeling like myself. Does it has to do with Flor? Yes and no, yes because I miss her, no because I'm the only one to blame that we're no longer together. Besides I have never been the kind of guy that goes down over a relationship, I've had broken heart before, this time I don't know what's going on.
