Lost Feelings

Lucas's Pov:

(Author: Sorry I haven't updated. I've been busy with school and sports. I hope you enjoy this little part.) 

Evelyn leaves for her parents' house with a 30-minute time span. I get up from my chair to see that's it's been over an hour since she has left and hasn't returned.  I grab my keys and make my way to see what's going on. When I get there, I see Landon throwing a dagger at her back. Thank God it missed because if it were to hit her, I don't even know what I would do. 

I grab my gun from my back pocket and shoot Landon in the back. 

"OMG" Evelyn cries out. She slowly looks up at me and I can see the pure terror that is in her eyes. She runs over to me and makes sure that I'm okay. Not paying any attention to her own brother who is on the floor dying. 

"Evelyn, I'm so sorry" I try to explain, but she brushes it off to 

"self-defense."  Shes not wrong, but it should still count as murder. 

I hold her face in my hands and lean in without realizing it. "Fuck it" I say before taking her face into my own. We manage to make it to a room safely, but right before we were going to do anything interesting. Her mother comes home to find Landon on the floor dead. Evelyn seemed fine, but her mother?? Her mother is on the floor with Landon BLAMING Evelyn for his death. If it was my mother, I would have backhanded her and stood up for myself. But all Evelyn does is let herself get yelled at.

It's like she knows that nothing she could possibly do would change her mother's mind about how she feels about her. That in itself makes my blood boil and a headache start forming. Mothers should be there to comfort their children and lead them through any tough obstacle that they may face. Evelyn's mother is far from your average mom. She belittles Evelyn into thinking that she isn't worthy enough of love. She talks bad about her behind her back like she's just some bug under her shoe to be squashed. She does so many un-motherly things to her that I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't even know what the word "Love" meant.

But Evelyn is the polar opposite. Shes strong, brave, smart, caring, beautiful. Shes all of these things that just make me want to put her in a trophy case and admire her like the absolute prize that she is. Evelyn isn't one to be taken lightly, Shes a charismatic, smart mouthed, Sweet talking lover girl. Who will put you in your place at any point in time. I snap back to the present when Evelyns mother is yelling at us to get out. 

"EVELYN IF YOU DONT GET THE FUCK OUT RIGHT NOW GOD SO HELP ME!" Her mother screeched.  

We quickly exit the area and make out way back to my apartment. The entire drive there is nothing but silence, no passing cars, no birds, nothing. It was deafening. "Evelyn-" 

"Don't." She cuts me off. 

"But-" 

"I said don't Lucas. I get that you had a great childhood and that's great. But I didn't and you need to take in consideration that I don't know how to take pain like this. I'm too used to it to feel anything right now."  She says while hyperventilating. Without another word I pull her into a kiss.

"I know love, I'm here for you." I say with a smile, for now all I have to do is calm her down.
