Part 7

EVAN: I rushed into her room and fell silent to figure out she wasn't in her room. What was i doing here? Was i going to expose the truth that i know she was admitted to the hospital? I cringed and sat on a chair near the bed and took my phone out. I began to call her and when she didn't answer me, i called twice, and more than 8 times. Why was she ignoring me? Wait why was i even asking myself this? Of course she would ignore you with the kind of situation that happened. I smacked my head and got up, i had to find her and make things right.

ZISKA: I opened my eyes slowly, finding the normal doctors all around me, nurses checking me, and then Mom and Amanda sitting far away with worried faces. I looked at the heart monitor and felt my world go fuzzy again as i heard a loud beeping noise. I took a deep breath, tried to get more, and keep fighting to get more air into my lungs but nothing would come in. Something was blocking it. It was painful.

  (The next day)

EVAN: I hadn't seen Ziska ever since and it wasn't looking good. She never checked my messages, called me back, opened my voicemails, and we were just like before. Not knowing each other, and not talking. It was horrible, lonely, and painful. When i went to her house, she wasn't there, when i went to the hospital, she wasn't there either. I wanted to see her, talk to her, and be near her to comfort her although i might be the last person she wanted to see.

  ZISKA: "Evan......." I mumbled to myself. I sat on the roof of the highest building near me and hit my legs on the wall as I began to sing to myself. Evan...Evan...Evan...i just wanted to see Evan. Evan had made his way into my life without me noticing. My phone, thrown away in the bin where my clothes were thrown out to when my heart attack happened, was never coming back to me. When i went to my home, only Mom and Amanda was there, he hadn't even come looking for me. When i was at the hospital, he never came to visit me, so all day, i spent my time up here on the roof, creating illusions about Evan and me together happy. I justed wanted to see him, that was all.

  EVAN: My phone rang as i made a swift to get my phone that made the papers fly off my desk. Was it Ziska? It was Ashley. I sighed and threw the phone on my bed and crouched down to pick up all the papers. This was the worst. I felt so horrible and sad. I had hurt her. I heard my phone ring several times as i stomped over and picked it up. "WHAT. do you want Ashley?"

  "Meet me at the usual place." She says. "If you want to fix everything. I'll help you."

 With that, Ashley hangs the phone up. Evan, drops his phone slowly and thinks. His eyes fill with determination as he gets up and runs to his car and drives to the "usual place".

  EVAN: I walked into the cafe Ashley loved and sat down in front of her. 

  "Hi, would you like to taste our new flavoured ice cream? It's delicious!" The waitress says with a smile. Ashley looked at me and brightened up.

  "Yes of course! Please!" Ashley says. The waitress runs away and brings back to black coloured ice cream. It looked so good so he took a lick. It really seemed to taste good... "Tastes good right?"

  "Y-yeah....i guess." Evan mutters. Evan straightens up and glares at her. "You said you were going to help fix everything up right?"

  "Of course!" She giggles and takes a piece of her ice cream and wipes it on his face. She laughs as he growls at her. As Evan turns to wipe his face, she leans in to help him, making it looks like she kissed him from an angle. Without him noticing, Ashley directs someone to take a picture and they do exactly that. "I'll definitely help you fix it. Our relationship that it."

  EVAN: "Oh you've got to be kidding me......" i say slowly. I smash the ice cream on her face and make an exaggerated surprised face. "Opps sorry. Didn't see your face there." With that, i angrily stomp out. 

THIRD DAY (ZISKA'S BDAY)

   "Next, we have our famous super model Ashley! It is rumoured that she has finally found herself a boyfriend! The lucky man seems to be the same man she broke up with after being found out to be cheated on. Despite everything that has happened in the past, they were found in a cafe eating ice cream, being one of the cutest couples out, and kissing on top of everything!" The news reporter says. Ziska stares at the TV and waits until the photo of Ashley looking like she had kissed Evan turns out.

  ZISKA: My heart hurt again. Did i really have to deal with this? I turned the TV off and changed positions in my hospital bed. I just cried silently, thinking about him. I felt horrible like a depressed piece of sh*t but i really couldn't help it. I wanted him back but he was never mine to begin with. This was...a great birthday present.Not

 EVAN: "ASHLEY!" I scream into the phone. "Take that down. Now."

  "Come on, she probably didn't see it yet." Ashley replies. "She's probably still sleeping right now."

  "Take it down. Now." Evan says again. "Or you're going to wish you never chose that social career of yours."

  "What're you going to do?" Ashley chuckles. "Write an article about me?"

  "If it comes down to that, yes." Evan replies. "You won't be able to work with any of my dad's companies, welcomed into any of his hotels, unfriended by all of mom's connections,  i'll cut your company's relationships with all directors, i'll disapprove of all your work. I'll call off all our investments. I'll destroy your life in a phone call."

  "....You wouldn't use such dirty ways." Ashley says slowly. "You're not that kind of person. And you love me too. No way you could do that to me."

  "Bite me."

  "I'm not taking it down."

  "Butler!" Evan yells as a butler comes in. "Cut all directors that are willing to work with Ashley. Start with her biggest hit."

 "Yes sir." 

  "That's dirty Evan." Ashley says, her voice shaking. "Evan, stop bluffing."

  "Butler!" 

  "Yes sir?"

  "Next, don't just 'cut' directors who refuse my will, fire them." Evan says. "Also, don't let any of our hotels or products or any of our merch be advertised by Ashley or anyone from her company."

  "EVAN!" Ashley screams. "EVAN STOP!"

  "You started it. You're the one in control right now." Evan says. "You can stop all this madness, take down everything or just let your life fall out just because of your psychotic ways."

  "I'll do it. I'll take it down. I promise." Ashley says quickly.

  "Alright, you have an 30 minutes." Evan says.

  "Too little time Evan. Give me more time please." Ashley says. 

  "Butler, never mind. Don't do any of the stuff i said just now." Evan says and stands up. "I'll go directly to her CEO and talk with him. "

  "Yes sir." 

  "Evan.... i'll get you back for this. Evan i'll destroy that girl and you will find out you love me. Not her. You love me. I love you."
