Heal my heart

sweet girl

***
Its been 2 months now that i have been working for tom. The more i worked. The more i got closer with tom and his family and the more i became distant with my own.

Tom came to my graduation. He also picked me up from school at times. Or would drop food off for me before i graduated school.

I was eating dinner at toms house. We were laughing about a joke bill had made. "Wait didnt you say you made a friend? You always talk about her evie but you never say her name" tom said wiping allys mouth.

"Ohh right. Her name is molly. Someone told me she was in a gang called 'black jack' or somthing i dont know" i said.

Tom looked at me with widened eyes. Bills eyes shot right at me. I saw somthing in toms face. Fear? Nervous? What was it?

He got out his seat and ran upstairs

"Tom!" Bill shouted out to him.

Toms pov*
I ran up the stairs as i realized my hands were starting to shake. I got to the bathroom and i locked myself away. flashbacks start running through my head. I was terribly hyperventilating.

Bill started banging on the door. "Tom open the door!" Bill shouted. I immediately opened the door

Bills pov*
He opend the door and hugged me instantly. I was in shock. there is no way my brother is hugging me right now. I quickly wrapped my arms around him. I felt his heart beating fast.

"Is everything okay?" Evies sweet voice called.

Tom let go of me. "Sorry evie i thought i had forgot somthing up here" tom smiled.

it scares me how amazing he is at hiding his emotions. We all went downstairs again.

"Evie. There is a race. A car race. I was wondering if you'd like to join me." Tom asked evie as he stepped off the last step.

"Who is going to take care of ali?" She asked. I turned to him he looked at me before looking at her.

"My mom can take care of her" tom confirmed.

"Sure, ill go" toms face lit at her response.

Evies pov*
Somthing about tom wanting to spend time with me made my heart beat with excitement. I think ive already admit i find tom quite handsome and charming.

I left his house with a smile on my face.

When i came home everyone was in the living room. thats.very.new.

as i was about to head to my room my mom called me.

"Evie" she called.

I stopped walking and turned to her "yea?" Thats when i realized not only did my mom look like she has been crying but so has my sister and my brother..

"Sit down we need to talk to you" she said.

i sat down next to ava on the sofa.

"Evie. We wanted to talk about your job. its tearing our family apart. Whoever you work for has changed you. You never talk to us. You never communicate. You never eat dinner with us. You only come home to sleep!" My mom said as she wiped her tears.

"I dont talk to you guys because evertime i try to i end up being ignored. You guys treated me like i was a nobody. And plus i have nothing to talk about when all i need to say is told to my boss. He actually pays attention to me and is willing to listen to me unlike you guys!" I snapped.

Tears on my families face wasnt gonna stop me from telling the truth.

"Evie! Thats fucking bullshit! You dont even know the guy! Your talking to a stranger baiscally!" Ava yelled in my face.

"We love you so much evie. We dont want to see you leave this way." My brother sniffled as he looked at me with so much pain.

"If you guys really loved me. You guys would accept me for what i do. I got a job. I got a friend too. i quit trying to get your attention. I quit the day tom accepted me."

I got up and walked to my room. i dont care. my mom has always pressured me and called me anoying all of my life and now that iam silent its the end of the world.

Tom: 'hey tiny the race is tomorrow at 11:00 am. Ill pick you up at 10:45 ;)'

Tiny?? TINY??

Evie: 'okay sounds great! ill be ready'
Tom: 'okay. Goodnight get some rest sweet girl'

my heart was pounding with excitement again.

Evie: "you to tom. Goodnight"
