Evara walked out to Callums car as he watched her approach him. She was ready for him to ask questions about her at the motel. He had wanted to see her even tho it was around midnight, he asked if she were up and wanted to see him as well.
She slightly stumbled to his car as he walked over to her.
"Hey..you alright?" He asked, his tone was a bit worried but slow so you could tell he was exhausted.
"Uh..yea, why?" She asked she could now see eye to eye with him, she was too high to realize that she had no shoes on and was shivering. Her hair was frizzy and knotted she looked unmaintained.
Just as she took another step she stopped holding herself up and fell straight into his arms as he quickly grabbed her by her waist.
"Jesus, what happened?" He asked
"What're you talking about?" She asked with a smile on her face, he looked down at his shoes looking at her feet on top of his, she was only wearing socks.
"Have you been drinking?"he asked as he pulled her up throwing one arm of hers behind his neck.
"No, I mean yea like—just like a little tho" she spoke, he could tell by her voice she was out of it, she wasn't conscious atleast.
"Fuck.." he sighed opening the passenger door to his silver Bentley. She sat down and immediately threw her head back as he closed the door making his way to the drivers seat. Once he was next to her he put the heat back on and locked the doors.
"Evara.." he spoke expecting her to look at him.
"What?" She snapped yelling at him
"...look I just wanna know what's wrong?" He asked
"I'm fineee, I'm really tired" she groaned. She had the most sad look on her face, she looked like she wanted to cry but she didn't feel like crying, her eyes were kinda dead as she zoned out and kept out of eye contact with Callum.
"Who's staying here with you?" He asked
"Um..Madeline, she has this like um boyfriend he's really an asshole and he came and kinda pulled a gun out on us the other day and I figured we could just stay at a cheap nearby motel cause like I didn't I didn't wanna— stay there" she rambled, all he could do was try and keep up with her. He was devastated once he figured she wasn't completely drunk she was just high off her ass.
"Why are you talking so fast?" He asked
"Whattt?" She slurred squinting her eyes
"Are you...high?" He asked. She nods slowly and puts her head against the window.
"How long are you planning on staying here?" He asked
"...I dunno, I kinda um have 130 dollars left, so maybe 3 more days" she sighed shutting her eyes tightly, she brought her arms closer to herself wrapping her arms around herself.
"I think you should stay at my place until you maybe find somewhere else?" he suggested
"No no no- I gotta stay with Mad— eline, she's sick" she mumbled
"Did you go to work today, like this?" He asked
"No, I took the day off" she replied, she was communicating a little better than she was 3 seconds ago, she was completely detached from his body language.
"Look, I um..I'll take you two out tomorrow..if she's better, I wanna meet her" he says
"Just text me.." she sighed rolling her eyes
"Yea..you sure you don't wanna stay at my place?" He asked
"Look, did...did you want- was that all you have to say?"she stuttered
"Yea.." he sighed as he opened the car door going to the passenger side opening the door for her again. she got out and started walking back but he stopped her just cause he felt like it.
"Can I hug you?" He asked softly
"...yea" she replied with a bare expression.
He wrapped his arms around her waist as she hugged him back placing her head against his chest. Part of him wanted to take off his Celine bomber jacket and give it to her, But knowing what on earth she'd do with it in the meantime he hesitated until she looked up at him kissing his cheek.
"I'll—see you tomorrow?" She asked
"Yea, I'll just text you.." He softly smiled taking off his coat, he wrapped it around her small frame and pulled her in for another hug.
"How'd you k-know I was freezing" she smiled
"Goodnight.." he sighed before kissing her forehead.
"Yea..you too" She mumbles before walking back up to her hotel room.
He felt himself break inside knowing he only had 10 minutes with her while she was intoxicated and clueless. Now He knew she was high, but was she just smoking weed or was she going crazy and doing something 40x harder. Whatever she was doing he was hoping it was just a one time thing. He didn't wanna keep seeing her like this even if it came to it, he knew she was capable of a much better life then what she had made for herself, Whoever he meet at the bar was completely different than the woman who sat in his passenger seat this evening.
He was more than willing to still keep talking to her, it was maybe just a stress mistake. When you feel so alone in a situation or stressed out that you'd do anything to get away from that feeling. He could tell she was taking baby steps now but he didn't care if they went little by little.
Evara stumbled back into her motel room, Madeline had been playing with Venice.
"What happened, where'd you go?" She asked
"No i — I the guy he's. He came to see me, yea he said he'd text me" She responds
"Okay..." Madeline replies rolling her eyes.
Evara shuts the door behind her and locks it up as she positions herself to sleep beside Madeline.
