Evelyn's POV: 

I bolt awake from my worst nightmare yet. I dreamt that Parker came for Landon and my parents in their sleep. I almost lost Lucas; I can't lose them either. I know they have been jerks to me almost my entire life, but they are my family, and I can't just let them get killed. I look around to see that Lucas has left the room and I have been covered up with a small throw blanket. I get up to go to the kitchen and I find Lucas making him some food. I sneak up behind him and hug his waist,

 "Hey! Oh, good morning, Evelyn" he says with a soft smile. 

"Morning" I say smiling, I make me coffee and a bagel and go sit down. I'll probably steal his eggs and bacon later but shh don't tell him. 

After breakfast I get ready to go my parents' house to see if they are okay. When I arrive, I notice Parker's car in the driveway and the door has been kicked in. A normal person would immediately call the police, but I'm far from normal. So, I go in the house headfirst and try to look for my parents. I would have had Lucas with me, but he stayed home to rest. 

"Mom! Dad!" I call out but no answer, I head up the stairs and hear a door slam. 

"Parker! Leave my parents alone you sick son of a bitch!" I yell out. As I expected there was no answer, 

"Parker I swear to God if you hurt them in any way, I will shoot you myself." On the outside I seem strong, fearless, like a fucking badass. But on the inside?? No on the inside I want to cry like a fucking baby who just dropped her ice cream. 

"Evelyn, what a great surprise" My brother says, wait... My brother? Was he a part of Parkers messed up plans. 

"Landon omg you're okay" I say walking toward him. I get about 4 feet away to catch a glimpse of a shiny object in his hand, "Landon..." I say backing away. 

"Where are you going sis? You not going to give your dear brother a hug? You're not going to make sure I'm, okay? You don't love me Evelyn, you never did." He says, 

"No. That- Thats a lie and you know it." I say while backing up

"Is it Evelyn? You never cared for me, you never liked me, you were never there for me. This is why I'm so rude to you Eve, this is why I absolutely despise you. This is why I will be the one to kill you." 

With that he lunges forward and chases me with the knife in his hand. 

"Oh Evelyn! Why are you running?" he says while laughing he goes to throw the knife at me, but his aim is terrible. So, it hits the wall and drops to the floor with a thud. His awful throw gives me enough time to stop, turn around, and fight him face on. I go to punch him, but a loud sound stops me. Next thing I know Landon is falling to the floor with blood coming out of his back. 

"OMG!" I look up to see who the shooter was, and the sight shocked me to my core. Lucas was holding a gun still pointed in the air like he just froze in place. 

"Lucas! Omg are you okay? Why are you here?" I question. 

"You said 30 minutes and it's been almost 2 hours Eve; I came to make sure everything was okay" he says dropping the gun to the floor. 

I run over to him making sure he's okay, cupping his face in my hands to make him look at me. "It will be okay, I promise." I tell him. My brother is on the floor as I watch the life drain out of him. 

"We need to go find Parker and my parents" I tell Lucas. We check the entire house but no one else was there. 

"FUCK!" I scream out throwing my hands to my head crying. 

"Hey, it will be fine. They know to stick up for themselves." He says to reassure me.  I look him in his eyes, and I get lost in them. The deep blue has me in a trance that I don't know if I want to fully break out of yet. 

"Fuck it" he says then pulling me into a kiss. His left hand coming to hold my head by my ear, and his free hand goes to grab my ass pulling me closer. 

We go into an open room and lock the door. Not like anyone will find us in here. Landon is dead on the floor, and the house is clear. He picks me up, so I wrap my legs around his waist and his arms grab my butt to keep me from falling.  I pepper kisses all around his jaw and neck before he throws me on the bed blocking me in with his arms. 

"Do you even know how long I have been wanting to do this Evelyn? Do you know how many times I have thought about flipping you over and claiming you as mine? Do you?" He asks.

 "No, you don't.  But darling you will, you will never be able to think about any other man after this." He gets close to my ear, "You're mine baby girl. Mine for the taking. Mine to use whenever and wherever I please. Mine, all mine." 

With that he rips my shirt off and trails kisses all over my collar. Down to my chest and stomach, he stops at my pant line and drags his tongue all the way back up.

 "Ah," I quietly moan in response to his action. I'm not used to anyone giving me this sort of attention, or any sort of attention to be completely honest. I was never allowed to have guy friends growing up, and the engagement to Parker was a forced marriage. Thank God I was able to stop it, I would rather die than spend eternity with a bastard like Parker. My thoughts come back to the present with Lucas moves his hand into my pants.  

He rolls his fingers around my clit and my eyes roll into the back of my head. "Mmm" I moan out in response. 

"Just like that Evelyn, sing for me. Sing a song that no one else will ever get to hear." His possessive tone is kind of scary, but I know that he won't ever hurt me. A door slams and we both jump up and get re-dressed to check it out. 

"AHHH LANDON MY BABY. NO!" my mother screams out. Lucas and I leave the room to find my mom crying on the floor holding Landon in her arms. "W-who did this to you?" She says while caressing his pale face.  

"Ma'am, Landon was chasing Evelyn with a knife." He says trying to explain the situation. 

"No! Landon would never hurt his sister. He loved her so much; he would have ended the world for her." She cry/screams out.  

"Mother it's true. If it wasn't for Lucas, I would be dead right now with a knife sticking out of my back." I say as I go to grab the knife Landon threw at me.

 "See look," I say holding it up.

 "No... I don't believe that. Get out." She says, 

"What?" I question in disbelief

 "I said Get. Out!" She screams at us. "But mom! I-" 

"GET THE FUCK OUT RIGHT NOW EVELYN OR SO GOD HELP ME!" She screeches out. 

Lucas and I leave to head back to his apartment. The whole car ride there was nothing but silence. We walk inside and Lucas is the first one to speak, 

"I-I'm so sorry Eve, it's all my fault I shouldn't have shot him. I could have knocked him out in some way. I-" I cut him off with a kiss. 

"Nothing you could have done would've made that situation any better." I speak. 

"You did what you thought was best in the moment and that's all that matters. Yea it sucks that my brother is dead, but he tried killing me first. Karma is a bitch, and it caught up to him."  I say with a dry tone. Yea I fucking loved my brother, but after seeing him chase me with the intent to kill it changed my perspective on him. My mother taking his side hurt though, I really thought she would be there and comfort me saying "it will be alright" or "I'm here for you my love" but no. Instead, she drops to the floor to care for my psycho brother.
