Evan wasn't in the mood to think about the Sydney situation. He'd thought about it enough already. Did he really need to think anymore of it? He sighed and glanced up to Luke who was intently staring at him, almost as if he were on suicide watch.

"Luke I'm not gonna kill myself just because a girl who I loved was cheating on me. I have a right to be upset, but I'm not gonna do anything to irrational. Maybe I'll burn a couple of things that I have of hers, but that's about it." Luke sighed knowing he was over thinking this and he probably made Evan feel uncomfortable. His mind was packed too though.

Luke was deciding if today was going to be that day that he told Jonathan about Evan being in town. He'd been thinking about it since he had woken up. Evan's been here for the past 3 days since the incident and his flight isn't scheduled for another 3 weeks. Luke knew that Jonathan was very smart and would eventually get very suspicious about why he was sneaking around.

Luke had already been by Jonathan's house today. He went in the morning to check up on him. He knew that he'd have to get going now or Jonathan was going to start smoking soon, if he hadn't already. They made a deal that if Luke catches Jon smoking, he takes away any packs and lighters that Jonathan has. Luke looked at his phone.

"Evan, I'm gonna get take out. You need to eat. I'll be back in like an hour. I know this really good pizza place just outside of town." Luke lied to Evan. He was really gonna get pizza but the place is down the street and is a 2 minute walk from the hotel. He just needed to check on Jonathan.

"Okay. I might as well be productive while I'm here. I'm gonna do some editing." Evan's phone rang again. He sighed looking at it before smiling slightly and declining the call. Luke looked at him in a confused manner. Sydney had been calling non-stop for the past 3 days, but Evan definitely didn't smile when she called.

"It was Tyler." Luke nodded, letting him know he'll see him in a few before walking out of the door and to the elevator. He pulled out his phone and sent a quick message to Jonathan about being on his way. The elevator doors opened and he stepped inside.

Jonathan sat on the window ledge, smoking another cigarette. He sighed.

"This is such a horrible fucking habit. Luke really wants me to stop for you. I should stop smoking." Jonathan paused and made a weird realization. "I should probably stop talking to you when I'm outside, Vanessa. People are gonna think I'm crazy." He averted his gaze from the sky, putting the cigarette out and climbing back inside. His phone vibrated on the table. He shut the window and grabbed it.

10:10 am Luke (iMessage)

L: I'm swinging by your apartment.

Me: okay. the door's unlocked.

L: get off the ledge.

Me: I'm not on it. You're driving. Text me when you're here or something.

L: k

Jonathan quickly walked to the shower and hopped in. He washed the smell of cigarettes off his body. 5 minutes later, he hoped out and dried off. He walked to into his room and grabbed sweatpants and a t-shirt. He walked back into the bathroom and styled his hair like usual. Then he felt the wave.

Jonathan turned around just into to empty whatever was left in his stomach. He flushed the toilet and turned back to the sink before washing his hands. He grabbed his toothbrush and put some toothpaste and began to brush his teeth as he heard the door open. He heard footsteps jogging to the bathroom.
