Ryan's P.O.V
The next few weeks have actually been going fine. Every few days I'd go to my family's house, then stay at Evaligne's for a bit. I'm glad that my mom understood, or else I would have been depressed without her. But something seemed off about Eva. She seemed like she was mad or annoyed at me. Yet, all I ever do for her is protect her. I just feel like my anxiety will slowly eat me away thinking if she doesn't really love me anymore. Almost as if the spark of love has disappeared from our grasps. It kills me. I look up from where I was staring in deep thought to see that Evaligne was standing right in my doorway of my house. Her electric eyes pooling into mine.
"How long have you been standing there Eva?"
"Just enough to know that you seem upset. What's wrong?" I was shocked.
"What's wrong with me? With me? You've been acting annoyed at me all of this time and I have no idea what I've done wrong!" Okay, I'm pissed.
"Okay! Where do I start Mister Jackson? You have been so clingy to me that I can barely breathe in my own skin! Oh and before I forget I feel like I can't even have my own 'me time' without you coming in and making sure nothing happened! I appreciate you trying so hard to protect me Ryan, but I don't appreciate the fact that you are being so damn invasive and overprotective!" She breathed. "That's what's wrong."
I felt nothing but anger as I got off my bed and raised my voice slightly louder with every single word," I. Love. You. But. I. Can't. Help. And. Try. To. Protect. You. Evaligne!" She cowered away, feeling slight hurt at my tone. She didn't even bother say anything before she let a single tear fall from her face and left my room. I immediately left my room and dashed down the stairs after her but my mom tried to stop me,"Ryan you must listen t-"
"I'm sorry but I have to go!" I yelled past my mom for I was already out of the door in search for her.
Evaligne ran out on me what the hell am I supposed to do. Now I messed up, bad. I franticly looked around for her in every direction. Walking away with one of her hands covering her face. I continued running after her and grabbed her by the hands and attempted to grab her but just pushed me away. "Evaligne I'm sorry! I love you!"
"If you loved me you wouldn't have y-yelled at me-e." Eva paused for a moment and whispered in her braking, sad, voice something that has never hurt me so bad," Go away from me, I-I don't love you." She just turned on her heel and left me standing there.
I honestly felt so hurt I didn't even try going after her a second time. Instead, I turned around in the other direction and headed back home. I looked at her once more before she disappeared around a corner onto Winns Avenue.
