Eve's POV:
Day 3 in the absents of Ashton.
He hasn't called.
He hasn't texted.
The boys haven't seen or heard from him.
Not even Michael, and he lives right next to the guy.
I guess I've been absent too though…
The only contact I've had with the outside world is via text.
It's a Tuesday afternoon and I lay in bed typing up the summer assignment I haven't yet started.
My days have been waisted elsewhere…
My phone rings and I answer it too quickly.
It's not Ashton, dumbass.
I know, fucking prick.
My head is auguring with itself again.
Sometimes I think I should be in an insane asylum…
I know Grace would hook me up.
Her mom works at an insane asylum.
And Grace is in love with it…
I pick up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey Eve, it's Cal. How ya holding up?" Cal and Grace have been the only two friends outside of my family to check up on me.
I really appreciate it.
"Good, thanks Cal…"
"You want me to come over again? I have soup." I can hear his smile through the phone so I work up a small one.
"Yea, actually. That'd be great. Thanks Calum."
"No problem, Chica."
I was surprised at how well my dad took Calum. Calum is so nice and sweet, so when they met, my dad liked him instantly.
But I guess it's also because Dad's trying to make up for all of this.
All of it is kind of his fault…
No it's not. You put this on yourself.
Leave the fucking bitch alone! Damn!
I sigh out loud.
But it also maybe because Calum is only 16.
And I'm 15.
So my dad's okay with it.
I don't know…
I stand up and go under my bed, pulling out my attire for the week.
All of Ashton's shirts.
Not a day went by where one wasn't clinging to me like a child to their parent.
I've worn them everyday.

"Hey Chica." Calum walks in and hugs me, by now I had just gotten out of the shower so I don't look too shitty.
But I am still in my pajama's.
"Hey. Thanks for coming over."
"Calum?" My dad peeps around the corner.
"Hey Mr. Router." Cal smiles.
"How are you doing, kid?" My dad walks up to Calum and shakes his hand.
"You know… The usual."
"That's good, oh Eve," My dad turns to me. "Britt took Michelle to some movie and she's spending the night at a friends. I have to cover Jacob's night shift so I won't be home, you sure you'll be fine alone?" He asks.
