When Life Gives You Lemons...

Chapter 4 - Get out the Asprin...

Eva awoke not to the bloody alarm clock, nor her brother, nor her cell phone, but the pounding headache. She remembered all the lemons and tequila she needed to drown in her sorrows and frustration.

A bullied brother, a cheating boyfriend and best friend. Two completely eccentric childhood friends... To top it off, she received a letter stating that she must get a schedule change because she had "no other classes available to take".

She scoffed, Damn that stupid principle, She growled, making me get out of my comfort zone in the second half of the year!

Eva slowly opened her eyes and from what she could see, the early morning light filled every corner of the room. Eva groaned. She realized she seemed to be doing more of that lately. Eva just wanted to stay in bed. Not do anything. Be lazy. She doesn't want to fa-

Hold up! Wait a minute! Put some lemon in it!!

Eva sat up abruptly. "Since when do I, Evanescence Annabel Stewart, whine like a little baby?"

She shook her head to rid it from the depressing and pathetic thoughts. "I can't keep acting like a wimp."

She got off her bed and wandered aimlessly to the shower. The hot water and lilac scented body bath helped to sooth her aching head. After a nice 10 minutes of relaxation, she hopped out and brushed her teeth.

On her way to the closet she noticed her phoned vibrating none stop on her cherry wood night stand. Eva narrowed her eyes as too got a better view at the contact.

She blinked when she noticed the ID said "Sofia =)". 'When did I give her my number?" Eva wondered aloud. She shrugged and picked up the phone.

'I hav a MAJOR Crisis!! X_X' Read the text message.

Eva groaned irritated. She ran into her closet only to come out minutes later in ripped fishnet stockings under a short shorts attached to a tight red t-shirt, that said 'Only I wear this look and not look like a fool!', by a chain. She brushed her hair and put it up in a high intricate ponytail and added, black eyeliner, mascara, lip gloss, Black rose studs, her usual earrings and a few bangles. She ran back into her closet to look for her ankle length boots with chains.

She grabbed her book bag and ran past the full length mirror but stopped. I look good~! She actually was one of the girls who could work the rocker look and obviously not be one. She ran down the stairs and made a sharp turn into the kitchen. Eva grabbed her bagel, lemonade water-bottle before kissing Tabitha and Dad.

She was half way through the door when she remembered something important.

"Tabitha!!" She peaked her head through the entrance way.

"Yeah?"

"Is it OK if I pick up Tj from now on?" she asked. Tabitha looked shocked for a moment before she beamed.

"Yes! Of course, that would be a huge help!" Eva nodded "By the way, why are y-" she never finished because Eva was half way in her car.

On the road Eva drove like a mad man. When a girl sent you a text like that at 6 in the morning, it was not something to take for granted. Eva already knew the address considering Sofia said they would be moving back into their old homes. Eva found it odd that she remembered where they lived and not what their promise was...

She quickly found the right house and jumped out of the car nearly forgetting to turn it off. Eva ran up the porch steps and banged on the door.

A half naked Romeo met her at the entrance way. Eva barely looked at his chest, that she might like to add was very very toned and... mm....
