Way Back Home ~ Evan Buckley 911

Pure happiness

Aria's POV

It had been a few weeks since I have been living with my brother Eddie. It has been pure bliss. I have the freedom to come and go whenever I want; as long as I don't wake up Chris and Eddie at night. I love my life. It feels weird to say that after hating it for so long.

It feels good though, Justin doesn't control me anymore. I will admit I wake up from horribly nightmares about him at night screaming but that's better than actually living that nightmare again.

I am currently on my way to a night club with Eddie. I am wearing the dress that Justin always told me I looked slutty in. It took me 20 minutes to leave my room but I made it out. This was my own way of giving him a big 'fuck you'.

I walked into the bar with Eddie tailing right behind me. I was under the impression we were coming here alone until I saw a group of men and 2 women waving us down. I glared at Eddie as he gave me a guilty look back. He knows what he did.

"Why didn't you tell me I'm meeting your friends!?" I whisper shouted to Eddie through my clenched teeth. I'm guessing they could all see how much I wanted to turn around and walk out as they gave me encouraging smiles.

"I knew you wouldn't come." Eddie replied also through his clenched teeth. When we get home I'm going to beat his ass like I did when we were kids.

I hesitantly walked over and let Eddie do the talking. "Hey guys, this my twin sister I've been telling you about." I was looking towards the bar, I couldn't wait until I could drown my sorrows and hopefully forget about this awkward moment.

"Oh yeah, Aria right?" A confident feminine voice spoke. My gaze snapped back to the group as they all stared intently at me. I felt like there might as well be a spot light for how closely they were studying me.

"That's me." I said in an polite voice. What? I'm not just going to be rude to my brother's friends. By the way I am still pissed at Eddie for not warning me about this. I spotted a familiar face. It was Evan from the hospital.

The annoying, smug but so handsome Evan. He noticed me staring at him and smirked. He is so full of himself. I ran my tongue over my teeth while laughing to myself. I shot him a sarcastic smile showing how much I appreciated his cockiness. He think's he's that good.

"Well I'm Hen, that's Bobby, that's Howie, but we just call him Chimney, you already know Buck. And next to him is his sister, Maddie. She's a 911 dispatcher." The woman who I now know as Hen explained to me as she interrupted Evan's and I's stare off.

"I heard you're interested into getting back into 911 dispatching?" The polite woman named Maddie spoke to me. She seems like a lovely person but right now I'm focused on getting drunk.

"Yep, sorry let me excuse myself." I quickly made my way over to the bar, not sure what to order. I can already sense I'm going to cop a mouth full from Eddie when we get home about 'politeness' and 'respect'.

Ughhh, he is so annoying sometimes. Don't get me wrong I would die for that little shit but he can just be so, what's the word. Difficult.

I finally make up my mind and choose to just get 3 shots, I'm not going to ease into it. I want to be drunk and I want to be drunk now. I down the shots as soon as I can grasp them in my hands, my face screwed up for a slight second due to the burn of the alcohol.

I feel a presence behind me and I already know who it is. "What do you want Evan" I just want to get drunk and relax in peace. Of course he has to butt in because he's an 'upstanding citizen'. Blah blah, all I hear is 'I'm better than you'.

"Nothing, I just uh, wanted to see how you're doing?" He is full of shit, he just wants to make the girl across the room staring him down jealous. He thinks I'm dumb, just because I fell in love with a monster doesn't mean I have no common sense.
