elijah perked up, his head lifting from his sisters shoulders as his eyes glimmered with hope. eve shook her head, pushing her brother back against the couch as she headed to the door. she opened it up, looking down at haiden with a concerned expression

"oh... hi eve"

"haiden"

"look i know you're angry with me..."

"with you?" eve laughed, pulling haiden in for a hug "you're having a laugh aren't you?... you did what you needed too"

it was only when eve pulled back, she truly took in haidens appearance. tatted hair, bags under her eyes... the smell of alcohol on her breath and the long sleeved shirts in the sun.

"i need to pack... you know"

"yeah" eve smiled sadly "i know... he's um, in the main room. i can get him out if you need?"

"no it's fine, it's his house"

haidens lip wobbled slightly, refusing to let her emotions get the better of her. she shuffled her way past eve unsteadily, the first thing her eyes focusing on were him.

as much as she resented their past two days, seeing him was like a breath of fresh air. all she wanted to do was hold him... she'd never seen him so pale and lifeless. but then again, he fucked her over and she wasn't going to forgive him that easily again.

she made her way past him, moving straight for their room as she whimpered to herself. all she could do was attempt to pack anything remotely comfortable to perform in, all while overhearing what ever conversation was happening between elijah and eve

"let me talk to her eve"

"you really think that's the best option right now?"

"why wouldn't it be?"

"because you fucked her over, eli!"

"please, eve..." he sniffled

"go. i'll be here when she kicks you out"

he leaned against the doorway of their bedroom, watching as the fragile girl folded up numerous clothes and packed them into the biggest suitcase the two owned

"den?"

"haiden, my names haiden"

"can we talk?"

"about what?" she mumbled, looking back at his miserable face

"you know what haiden"

"no, i don't actually elijah" she smiled "now if you wouldn't mind, i need to pack"

"for what?" he sighed, sitting on the end of their bed

"my tour?"

"you're still going?"

"of course i am?" she laughed "i'm not putting my life on pause because you decided to fuck up"

"i'm not the only one"

"how did i fuck up elijah? i didn't kiss my ex, i didn't ignore you for days on end and then blow up about how you're so insecure"

"haiden, it was a moment of weakness"

"bullshit" she smiled, shaking her head at him as she closed over her suitcase

"can you just put the ring back on?"
