A Day Without You

^"A day without you is like a year without rain"- A Year Without Rain- Selena Gomez

Evie's POV

I awoke, dizzily. As I try to sit up, I am pushed down onto a surprisingly soft surface.

"Evie, you should get your rest." Cassie said. Once she thought I wouldn't try to get up again, she turned around and went to a desk near the bad I was on.

"Where am I?" I croak out, my head still spinning.

"You're at my house silly." Cassie giggles. I open my eyes to see the familiar Christmas lights hanging over the desk near me. Cassie could be so pinterest sometimes. I scan my eyes across her immaculately organized desk. There was a folder that wasn't labeled. Strange. Cassie always labelled her folders no matter how temporary they might be.

"Are you doing homework?" I ask, annoyed. Her best friend just passed out due to the overwhelming stress of losing her love, and she's doing homework.

"Yeah" she replied simply. "Unlike you, I would like to graduate from this hell hole no matter what shit ends up going down." She could really pack in the sass. I made a mental note to avoid being around her and Liam in the same room.

"So, it's true..." I ask, slightly hoping she'd say 'no'.

"Yes dear, I'm afraid it is" she sighed. Without another word, she got up and left the room.

A few moments later, she comes back into the room, carrying a large white board. When did she get that? Following close behind her, Tommi and Liam walk in, each holding a box of expo markers. Once Liam sees me awake, he drops the box, sending the markers to scatter across the floor. He runs straight to me, gripping me in a tight hug.

"OH MY GOODNESS EVIE!" he yells, hugging me tighter.

"Liam, stop. You're going to kill her." Tommi yells. Did he really think that a hug would kill me? Well I guess I fainted at the mere idea of being without Ben. A ping of dread hits me. Ben.

"Tommi, you're just jealous that he's hugging someone other than you." Cassie smirks. Liam's face turns beat red. Wait, did the sass master get out-sassed?

"True." Tommi admits. I'm lost. Apparently I missed something between the two of them.

"Let's just get to work" Liam announces, finally letting go of me. I get the same explanation that Tommi had given me, except this time there were colorful diagrams on the white board.

"Ok, so what do we do to get Ben back?" I ask. I just want him out of there. I can't think about anything else at the moment. I see a look of guilt cross Tommi's face. Did I read that correctly? Why would Tommi feel guilty?

"We'll get him out of there soon." He assures me, holding back his own tears. I realize now, he felt guilty for letting him down, and not being able to get him out sooner. Tommi seems just so invested in all of our emotions, as if making them his own.

"Hey, Tommi, it's okay. We're doing the best we can." Liam assures him, rubbing small circles on his back. Tommi leans into Liam, laying his head on Liam's shoulder. I definitely missed something.

"Let's get some rest, we'll talk more tomorrow." Cassie says, hugging me tight. It wasn't until now, that I noticed I was shaking. No. Not shaking. Crying. I was crying my eyes out as fear, sadness and despair pulsed through my body. What I wouldn't do for another hit.

A/N: Comment what you think will happen next!! Also-Please comment asking question's if you are confused. I will try to answer them unless it conflicts with any future reveals in this story.

What is the relationship between Tommi and Liam? What do you think about Tommi? Do you think they'll be able to get Ben out? How?
