When I got to Evelyn I found her curled into herself on her bed. Crying isn't the word for what she was going through, it was worse. I don't think I've truly realized how much love she had for Grayson up until this very moment. Watching her barely be able to breathe by the force of her weeps was painful. It was like listening to a child screech in pain or sadness times a hundred.

I finally managed to get her to sleep in my arms after about three hours. I tried asking more about what happened but all I kept getting was her repeating how much she had 'fucked up' and 'ruined everything.' In the end, I stopped bringing up those probably painful moments for her and calmed her to the best of my abilities.

My phone buzzes in my jacket pocket, the ring silenced so I wouldn't wake Evelyn. I pull my phone out to see Adrien's name on the screen. I managed to slowly and gently set Evelyn down on the bed, throwing a blanket over her body which was still in her dress.

"Hey," I answer quietly, standing at the entrance of the room facing the door to make my voice not echo into the room. "How is she?" Adrien asks, shuffling noises coming from his end. "Well," I look over my shoulder to look at my best friend again. "...not the best. Horrible." I reply sighing in empathy.

"And how's Grayson?" I hear Adrien sigh before buzzing his lips in stress. "Rose called me not much longer after we left your apartment. Gray had drunk texted him saying our dad was right about fairytales not existing and some other discombobulated shit. We met him here at his apartment drunk as fuck and crying in silence... pouring himself another drink."

Drinking your problems has always poisoned this world.

"He's asleep now but Rose is planning on staying here to make sure he doesn't do some stupid shit." Adrien mentions making me realize I probably shouldn't leave Evelyn here alone either. "hey, maybe I should stay here tonight. Sorry, I know we planned on a movie night; even if it was blackmail." Adrien chuckles lightly on the other end and hums. "Yeah, I'm sure you're soooo sorry sweetheart-"

"Who the fuck are you calling 'sweetheart' over here on the phone you man whore?" Rose seems to walk into the room he's in because he gets cut off and her voice is curious and grossed out at the same time. Even if I'm not physically there I still get embarrassed.

"None of your concern you rude monster. Shoo!" I giggle quietly at Adrien's childish manner of dismissing Rose from the room. I hear her mutter something and her steps fade away. "I'd much have rathered zero siblings but I guess god had to let somebody grow up with my amazing self." He breathes dramatically.

"Oh, I'm sure." I scoff.

"Go home Katie," I turn fast at the groggy voice of Evelyn, her head peeking over her shoulder. "Ev, go to sleep I'm staying-"

"Kaite. I'll be home I'm serious. I just wanna be alone tonight, please?" I know I shouldn't go but I know that her therapy is isolating. I have no clue how she does it but I guess those years of growing up to be cold and independent have something to do with it.
