Chasing Evelyn

(5) seven times over

Evelyn Higgin's pov.

  "And your father," he sighed and I shrugged.

  "Don't over think it, he's probably really regretting talking to you like that right now and thinking about apologizing. That's just how he is," I shook my head and gave Louis his quiff style back.

  He stared up at me, grinning cheekily. "What?" I laughed and blushed warmed my now rosy cheeks. 

  "You're just really pretty." he said shyly like a little school girl. I burst out laughing as he frowned. Shaking my head I was just about to respond when Liam walked in. 

  "How you doin' mate?" Louis sat up and Liam ruffled his hair. 

  "Hey," I whined. "I just made that cute!" They both laughed before my dad walked in still red faced. 

  "Evelyn, get in the car now." he pointed only making eye contact with me and refused to make it with Liam or Louis. 

  "Why should I?" I said with an attitude and his face reddened even more. 

  "Because I said so!" he spoke through gritted teeth as I grinded my own. 

  "I'm old enough to make my own decisions, dad!" I groaned and Louis grabbed my hand gently, careful not to set off my father even more. Luckily, he didn't notice. 

  "Well you don't make very good ones." he grunted. "I'm pretty sure we both remember Oliver, huh?" I froze and choked at the sound of his own name. Before I could reply my father swiftly left the room. I hope he was glad now Liam would probably see me cry too, on top of Louis seeing me already. Could this get any worse? 

  Loui sighed angrily. "Evely-" he tried softly. 

  "Uh," my voice faltered and wavered. "If uhm, if you'll excuse me.." I nodded towards Liam and walked quickly out of the room and down the hall way, trying to get lost as much as possible in this huge building.

later that night..

  Its been three hours and finally I just stopped looking for an exit. I sighed and slid down a wall.

  About ten minutes later someone sighed in relief and I kept my eyes trained on the ground.

   "Evelyn," feet stopped in front of me but I still didn't look up.

  "You shouldnt be near me Louis," I spoke quietly and furrowed my eyebrows.

  He sighed and sat next to me. I refused to look him in the eye. His hand found mine but I snatched mine away and quickly stood up, fixing my outfit.

  "Evelyn please," he begged from the ground still.

  Finally I looked him fiercely in the eye. "I said no." My feet carried me away from the boy who was protesting with my name and trying to follow me.

  I followed the obvious exit sign I had seemed to miss and hauled it outside. Pulling out my phone I dialed a taxi number and gave them my information and location. They said ten minutes tops.

  Heavy booted footsteps came up behind me and I turn around slowly. It was Harry.

  "Louis' worried to the bone. Won't talk to anyone." he grunts and sits down.

  I shrugged with an emotionless face. "He can't be worried there's nothing to be worried about." I spoke and he chucked humorously.

  "Do you know why he's so attatched to you already?" I shrugged again and sat down next to him. "Eleanor," he started. "She cheated on him, so many times and yet...he still stayed with her." I pressed my lips into a thin line. "He was heart broken by the seventh time she'd done it. And you know what she said?" he looks me in the eyes.

  "Seventh times a charm, right Louis?"
