Gabbi x Evelyn wlw (do revenge)

Chapter 10 - Breathe

Gabbi's pov:

I head in the direction I saw her run off in, searching frantically. I check all the bathrooms to no avail. I head outside, following the sides of the house and then the street. Right by the end of the street, I see a wasted girl stumbling side to side, trying to walk. I immediately run to her. It's as if all the alcohol has left my body and been replaced with adrenaline.

I quickly catch up to her and see that the poor girl is hysterically crying and hyperventilating. The alcohol in her system seems to be worsening the situation. I try stabilizing her with my hands on her shoulders and help her sit down.

Evelyn's pov:

I run out from the party, tears streaming down my face, the alcohol restricting my body from keeping its balance when I try to run. My friends see me and try to get me to stop and talk to them, but I don't trust them. I don't trust anyone. I just want to go home. I end up stumbling around and not making it very far out on the street. At this point I'm hyperventilating and my vision is blurry. I feel like I'm gonna faint, I can't breathe and my head is pounding.

I suddenly feel a soft hand on my shoulder. I turn around frightened and unable to see who's there. I hear Gabbi's soft voice and finally feel safe enough to let someone help me.

"Hey, hey! I'm here, it's ok, your ok. Breathe, you'll be ok. Focus on the sound of my voice."

The adrenaline rush is wearing off and i can feel how my breaths are shallow and quick. I can't breathe. I try to listen to Gabbi's voice, but I'm having trouble concentrating. She helps me sit down on the sidewalk while holding my hand, stroking my back and reminding me to breathe.

"I'm here Evelyn, just breathe. That guy is a horrible person. He's been harassing girls all night."
I've gotten my breaths back, but I can't stop crying. I feel so stupid for letting go of myself like that.

"I'm so stupid, why did I drink? It's my fault for loosing control, I was basically asking for it."

"No, don't say that! Look at me!" She cups my face with both of her hands and looks at me with her beautiful deep blue eyes. "This is not your fault. You are not responsible for his actions. And you were definitely not asking for it. You should be aloud to have a good time without having people like him ruining it. You you understand me?"
I nod, tears swelling up in my eyes. She pulls me in for a hug and I cry into her chest.

After I calm down, I'm so drained of energy, I feel completely limp. Gabbi helps me to her car and she drives me home. The time is already 6:30 AM. When we arrive, she helps me into the kitchen were I grab a drink of water. We then go up to my room. She helps me take my shoes off and stays in my room when I change to a hoodie and shorts in the bathroom. I then lay down in my bed.

"I put some water and an Advil by your bed, I should probably go but text me when you wake up okay?"

"No." I say in a tipsy, tired voice.

"No?" She asks confused.

"I want you to stay. Please? At least until I fall asleep?" I'm already half asleep, so she chuckles and looks down at me.

"Okay cutie. Whatever you want." She walks around my bed and lays down next to me.

"I want you." I whisper under my breath.

"Hm?"
I turn to face her and scoot over until I'm cuddled up right beside her.

"Good night." I say

"Good night, cutie."

She knows what I said, but she doesn't mention it. Instead she runs her fingers through my hair with a soft smile across her face.
