“..And then this guy was like 'you got a cat?' and we just ditched.” I laughed and everyone joined in.
“One time, some buds of mine were on their way to-” Zane started, but was interrupted by his phone.
He studied clearly what was a text for about 2 minutes before finally replying.
“This girl wants to chill with me..” He faded off at the end, before looking down at his phone again.
“Who is it?” Cheech asked.
“Just a girl..” Right then, another ding went off.
“Bring her here then.” Shay offered.
I don't know why, but my head instantly turned towards her and I shot a look of horror at Shay.
She looked back, clearly questioning my impulsive act, shown by her expression.
I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and texted Shay;
L- Dude..
Shaay- Dude, why not. It's just a chick. We always chill with random people, and ur always up for meeting new people... uu okey?
L- Idk. I don't know if nick will be okey with it.. thats all.
Shaay- Wtf are you saying? Nick wont be okey with you having another chick over? Outside. Now.
I went to reply but she looked up at me, and stared directly into my eyes with a look of anger, yet a bit of worry. I just obeyed and stood up. No need to argue with her, after all she's my sister. I felt tears coming on, so I went right outside, avoiding all the questioning faces, and my jacket.
“Somethings up with L, We'll be outside.” I heard shay say to the guys.
“Is she ok? Did I do something?” Zane asked, looking as if he actually felt bad.
My curiosity peaked, and I opened the door a crack to see what was going on.
“No.. I don't know, I don't think so.” She shot a smile at Zane, then walked towards me.
I silently sat down on CC's bench and kicked around some dust from the porch.
“What's wrong L” Shay asked, her tough self now overpowered by the soft side of her.
“I can't do this.” Was all I could say.
“Do what? See another chick?”
“That's not it.” I said, sounding a bit offended.
“Then what is it L?! You're causing unneeded drama.”
That right there did it. Tears started running down my face like a waterfall. I couldn't say a word. I couldn't do anything but cry.
“I'm sorry.. I didn't mean it like that. I'm just frustrated. You know I'm always here for you. I love you Evelyn.”
“Nick.” I whispered.
She looked surprised that I actually talked.
“What happened?” She asked softly, moving over to sit next to me.
“He broke up with me this morning. Right before we left for CC's..” I stared, needing to stop to calm down. “He called me, that's why I stopped. He said he found someone else who lives closer to him. Then he just hung up.” I sobbed.
Shay was crying now too, “I'm sorry for the whole wedding thing. I can't believed you stayed strong through that. I would have broke.”
“I was still in shock I guess.”
We were always each others shoulders to cry on, and that's all I could do right now.
Just as I was about to calm down, Zane slowly walked through the door. For fuck sakes.
“Are you ok?” He asked softly, his voice only reminding me of nick.
“Don't you have that other girl to go see.” I said, crying even harder now. He must think I'm crying because of him, but he was nothing but a splitting image of Nick to me right now.
“No it's not like that..” Zane started, clearly feeling like it was his fault.
“It would be best if you just left. Let her calm down.” Shay said calmly, but you could hear her voice crack.
Zane went inside, looking only once back at me. The look of 'I'm sorry' was in his eyes. I couldn't help but continue to sob.
Zane's P.O.V
I walked back in, closing the door slightly. I couldn't help but feel like I did something wrong.
I quickly grabbed my phone from my pocket so I could text Aubrey back.
Brey- Where are you?:)
Zane- I don't know if it's good to hang out right now. Sorry.
Brey- But we planned this for so long:(
Zane- A day actually. & I'm sorry, today's just not good,
Brey- I'm sorry, must be taking you from another girl. It's okey bby:* x
Anger actually boiled inside me that last text. I'm not hers.
“What's up with L?” Res asked , rolling another joint.
“I don't know, she was crying though. Really hard.” I answered, looking away.
That caught Cheech's attention and he quickly jumped up and ran outside.
“And then there was three,” Res joked.
I let out a small smile.
“Nope.” Chong said then left to go outside too.
“Then there was two” I mocked Res.
“What's on your mind bud?” Res asked, still focused on perfecting that joint.
“What do you mean?” I responded,
“I'm not stupid, I've been in your position before. What are you thinking about?”
I looked back at the door making sure no one was coming in. “I feel like it's my fault. The chick that was supposed to come here is acting like I'm hers.”
I read him the texts.
“Damn, I don't know how to help you with that chick thing. But, being L's bestfriend for 6 years does give me some insight on her life. I get to hear everything, and know everything. I know her like the back of my hand. She's like my little sister and I'll protect her with everything I have." He was still focused on the joint, he didn't even look up once. "Its not your fault. I promise. She is a hard girl to get to. When she was 16 she promised herself she would never love a guy. She recently just had a boyfriend, you could tell at the beginning she was sticking hardcore to her rule, but after a while she softened up. She always told us she didnt love him, but you could see it in her eyes. If anything, something probably happened between them. That's the only thing that can make her cry like this.. love. I witnessed her first heartbreak. I was there. I was the one who comforted her when no one else was there."
I was speechless. I went to say something, but Res stood up and left to go outside too. I was the only one inside. I feel like an ass for not going out too, but the second she looked at me last time, she started bawling. I dont want to cause that again.
Evelyn's (L) P.O.V
For some reason, It's like he knows when I need him. He walked outside and everyone knew what was going on. So they all went back inside, but he stayed.
"Here Eve
