At the End of the Day...

Chapter 16

From Eliza: I'm coming over in 5

To Eliza: wait what??? im kind of busy at the moment sis...don't you have school??

From Eliza: school can wait. it's important.

I haven't exactly told Eliza I'm going away this morning, and she is going to absolutely flip her shit when she finds out, but now I'm curious to see why she's coming over. Eliza never uses full stops in her texts. Ever. So I can tell it's serious. 

And Eliza is never serious. Trust me.

From Harry: can't wait to see you...only 2 more hours till i pick you up .xx

To Harry: CANNOT WAIT. XXX

Ever since Saturday night, Harry and I have been counting down the hours. He helped me pack a little bit, but I'm so indecisive and packed way too much so I'm currently sitting on my bedroom floor now. I've got about a million pairs of bikinis laying out in front of me, I'm absolutely obsessed with bikinis.

You know how people collect stamps, photos, and stuff like that? Well, I guess you could say I collect bikinis.

It's going to be boiling over there, so I figure they're almost all I'll need. As well as a few coverups and some nice dresses when we go out. I see the small box of tampons lying just next to me, and my heart sinks. I'm expecting my period to come tomorrow, and that is literally the worst timing. Periods always get in the way of everything. Holidays, sex, and life in general. 

The last time I got my period Harry was away or something...I can't remember, and so he hasn't seen how I get. It is bad. I am probably one of the moodiest people without my period, so with it, I'm like the devil. 

I stuff the box into a nook in my suitcase, and continue packing my other toiletries, when I hear a knock at the door. Eliza.

I hop off the floor and trot over to the front door, opening it without hesitation.

Except I see not one person, but two.

-------------------------

"What is she doing here?" I glare at Eliza, my nostrils flaring. Looks like my PMS is here to play.

Kaia looks down at her shoes. Yeah, that's right, Kaia, you should be intimidated by me.

"She wants to talk to you. She's really upset..." Eliza looks guilty, but I know that I shouldn't be mad with her. She hasn't done anything wrong.

"She's upset? She?!! Do you know what she did to me? How she lied to me??!" I'm absolutely fuming now. I cannot believe that Kaia has dragged my little sister into this! Un-fucking-believable. 

"She told me everything-and I'll admit, yes, it's bad, but...you just have to-wait. Why are you holding a toiletry bag?" Eliza motions to the bag in my hands. Shit. I hadn't even realised that I was still holding that from when I was packing a minute ago.

"I'm going on a trip," I brush it off nonchalantly, hoping that Eliza won't press further.

"A trip? And you didn't tell me? Eva, you used to tell me everything! When?" Eliza looks hurt, and I feel bad, but I know that if I told her sooner she would make a big fuss out of it. I guess she's going to make a fuss out of it either way, and I hadn't realised that till now.

"I'm getting picked up in 2 hours," I avoid eye contact, because I know it will break my heart to see her too upset. I'll probably start crying with the state I'm in right now. I look over to Kaia, who's still looking at her feet. 

Little pussy.

"Why didn't you say anything...?" Eva asks me breathlessly.

"Well, it's not like you've been around for me to tell you!" I scream in her face. Ok, maybe that was too harsh, but it's how I've been feeling. Eliza looks at me, with a frightened expression, and it takes me back to when we were young. She looks so innocent and afraid, and I can't bare to look her any longer. I can feel the tears welling up.
