Mevie - The Third Wheel

Chapter 5 - Need to Talk

Evie's POV
I saw Mal choking on her water and I ran over. I rubbed her back until she stopped coughing.
"You alright Mal?" I asked and she looked at me and nodded.
"Yeah, thanks E." she said and I looked at Ben. Who was looking at Mal.
"So Mal? What do ya say?" he asked and I looked at Mal.
"What does he mean?" I asked and she looked at me with hurt in her eyes.
"Umm.. Yeah.. Sure." she said to him and he smiled and kissed her.
"Great I'll have the gaurds move your stuff." he said and I looked at Mal concerned.
"Mal, what does he mean?" I asked and she looked at the floor.
"Umm...." she looked up at me like she was gonna cry.

Mal's POV
I didn't have the heart to tell Evie I was moving in with Ben, but I couldn't say no to Ben. I took them both out in the hallway.
"We need to talk.." I said and they both looked at me confused. I took a deep breath and looked away.
"I think I want to go back to the isle.." I said and heard them both gasp.
"Mal, why?" Ben asked and I heard Evie crying.
"Mal, if this is because of what I told you.. I'll leave.. You have a life here, I don't." she said and I turned around.
"Evie why in the world would you think that?" I asked and Ben grabbed my arm.
"Mal what is she talking about?" he asked and I froze and looked at Evie she nodded.
"Ben.. Evie told me she has a crush on me..." Ben froze and looked at Evie then got really angry.
"Leave. I am banishing you back to the the isle." I stood there shocked with my mouth open. Evie started to cry and ran off.
"Ben! Why in the world would you do that?!" I said and he looked at me.
"Because I don't want her taking you away from me!" he said and I got angry.
"Ben its just a crush, she would probably get over it! Your not the person I thought you were now that we are married. If you banish her, I'm leaving." I said and looked straight into his eyes. He frowned and walked away. I walked towards my dorm so I could stop Evie from leaving.

Evie's POV
I thought I could trust Ben, but I guess not. I started to pack my things and heard a knock on the door, Mal walked in.
"Evie stop." she said and I kept packing. Mal walked over and grabbed my hand. "Evie, Ben can't banish you, I'm queen and I have to approve of his decisions." I looked at Mal desperately.
"Your not gonna let me leave are you.." I asked and she shook her head.
"Not a chance sweetheart." Mal said and I hugged her tightly. She looked into my eyes and kissed my cheek.
"Evie unpack your things, I am not leaving and neither are you." she said to me and I nodded my head.
