Now let's get back to what really happened with Chapter 12: I Like You, shall we?
EVETTE'S P.O.V.
As Edward steps onto the brake of his car, I slapped both of my hands onto my face with a loud grunt. Clearing up my throat, I looked at him and tried not to fake a smile.
"Thank you for today," I whispered.
"It's nothing.. anyone would have done the same thing if they see you in that state." He joked which successfully made me smile.
As I turned to the side, letting out a breath then unlocking the door, Edward stated. "Are you sure?"
I stopped. "No.. but I have to come back there. I cannot let everyone worry."
"Evette—"
"I'll make it up to you the next time we meet," I interrupted as I quickly hopped out of the car. As Edward, too, gets out of the car, I gave him one last smile before turning around to get back into the tour bus.
"Evette-"
Spinning back around, Edward held my hand gently, as if he was holding something so precious. The feeling as back then when he was holding my hand, came back to me. I felt treasured and loved. I mean.. I'm not really sure if Edward still feels that way about me or not, but that's just how I feel.
"I'm okay..." I assured him with another smile. "I will be okay.. don't worry so much." I added.
"Hey Ev—"
Edward and I both were surprised when we saw Toby standing right in front of us— trying to catch for his breath and eyes are big and wide.
"What..." he sighed, "So you were with Edward all along..?" He added, his knees meeting down with the ground.
What is he doing?
"Wait.." Toby stands back up, rubbing his eyes before looking over Edward. "When did you get here? How do you know we are here?"
Both Edward and I didn't know how to react. I mean, how should I answer him? Edward found me kneeling down the ground, crying over how I was rejected by him? I still have some pride, you know!
Suddenly, Toby runs in front of me, as if he was trying to keep Edward from going near me. "Are you following Evette?"
What the heck? "Toby, he is not!"
"Then why is he here? How does he know you are here? Didn't he like you? Who knows... he might still like you!"
What the hell... did he forget what happened earlier? I just got rejected by him... now he's pushing me to another guy, which is Edward. This guy is really unbelievable..
"Are you hearing yourself?" I whispered.
"Of course! I'm not deaf!"
"But you are dense.." I muttered.
"What was that?"
"I'm going inside the bus.."
"Wait!" Toby grabbed for my hand, stopping me from leaving. "We are not finished! I wanna know how Edward knew we're here!"
"He just happened to be passing by!"
"I don't believe you... Edward surely is following you, he probably still likes you."
I jerked my arm away, throwing his hand away. I glared at Toby. This guy is really terrible... I really can't believe him. Is that how unimportant I am to him? How could he just forget that I have confessed to him a few hours ago? Are my feelings, for him, a joke? Could he never believe that I really could fall in love with him?
