Lover's perspective
"oh."
i dont know how to feel. i like her, of course i do..but she still really hurt me.
A few moments of silence pass before she says something again
"L-lover?" she whispered and it cut me out of my trance
"U-Uhm" i stuttered, i didn't really know what to say, i was like a deer in the headlights
"Its okay if you dont like me back.. i just wanted to explain.." she said and bit her lip but i stayed quiet, still processing
"i can take a hint..ill go" she says and she stands up but i quickly hold her hand and her head snaps back
"i-i like you too" i said quietly and her eyes widen but before she could say anything i continued
"of course i like you, but you really hurt me, and it wasnt just that one time, and i dont know how t-"
I started rambling but she cut me off
"I'll gain your trust. No matter how long it takes. Im willing to" she took my hands and stared into my eyes
"okay" i whispered, feeling relief and i relaxed my shoulders as she pulled me into a hug
"Take it slow?" She asked
"Take it slow." I replied and she nodded against me
I couldn't really believe it, so many things happened in these few days..but being in her arms made me feel safe

Evermore's Perspective
What is wrong with me?
Why do i feel like this?
When she walks past me i- i feel something..not bad..just different
I try to just brush it off but the feelings are growing. And i dont know what to do, so i confided in my sister
"lorie?" I knocked and opened the door
When i opened the door to her room, her and speak now were on a couch and speak now's head was on folklore's shoulder and it seems they fell asleep while watching the notebook
I didn't want to wake them up so i turned off the TV for then, gently close the door and padded back to my room
But when i entered, she was there, and i felt it again. Make it go away.
"Hey red" i greeted her as i closed the door
"Hey evermore" she said and her phone started ringing
While she was calling the person, i started thinking..why am i even feeling like this? I dont even know her that well
"..Hi baby!" I heard her voice ring out and my head immediately turned to her
..baby? Was she seeing someone? It could be family..right?
"mhm, yeah i cant wait to see you again babe, byee! Mwah!" She giggled
Definitely not family.
Suddenly i felt a new emotion come in
jealousy.
The last time i felt like that..didnt go well..
lets just say ive cleaned enough houses to know how to cover up a scene.
When the call ended i wanted to ask about who she was calling..or was that overstepping? Whatever just do it eve.
"Red? Was that your boyfriend?" I asked. Straight to the point.
"oh my god yeah he's the great!" Her angelic voice has me im a trance, replaying in my head, but hearing her speak about a guy..not the best circumstances
"im sure he is...say, how did you meet him?"i asked, i needed to know more..information
"through a friend, people say that he's not a good person but i know he's trying, and i can fix him" she says while texting
"What do you mean not a good person?" I questioned
"uhm..he kind of has an abusive past..but he swears he changed though" she told me
That made my stomach turn, what if he does something to red? i'll get him. And no one will have to know.
"you need to be careful with him then, make sure he doesn't do anything" i said, wanting her to be safe
"Yeah but im sure he wouldn't, hes changed" she tried to reassure me, but i wasn't convinced..ill keep an eye on her...and him.
a very close eye.
Okay um this one was kinda boring actually..idk if u guys like it but as always thank you for reading!
#lovertation ship has sailed.
