Chapter 31
I woke up and my mind collapsed. It felt like it was collapsing at least. I couldn't feel anything and I was shaking in my spot. The ground shuffled underneath me and I couldn't catch my breath. I couldn't stop thinking no matter what happened. I couldn't stop shaking and I felt numb throughout my whole body. Then I felt the tears fall down my face.
I couldn't control myself and I was scared. I was scared of myself. My mind was broken and so was my sanity. I felt nothing and time went by slowly, I was suffering.
The last thing I saw was Dan's face before my eyes shut. He tried to keep me still and yelled from fear of me. I cried harder knowing that I must be horrifying.
Time moved on and I felt myself calm down. My head was still fuzzy, but it was better than before. I opened my eyes and saw Dan on top of me. He looked restless. I moved myself from under him and jumped up. I shook in each scoot I took and saw Dan stand up to meet my eyes. "E-Eva, are you okay?" he asked me.
I didn't know how to answer.
"You couldn't stop crying and I got worried. It's about ten o'clock... I let you sleep," Dan said. I stood still and tried to catch my breath. "That was quite the anxiety attack. Are you well enough to go out to the streets? We, or I, need to get money." I nodded. I felt my throat scratch up and it was going to sound hoarse.
Dan and I stood around the streets, begging for the littlest of change that someone could spare. We held signs that pleaded and could make anyone feel bad. I walked along the sidewalk and put my sign down by my side. I was feeling fatigued and emotionally tired. I couldn't do anything anymore.
Beep!
A car's horn went off behind me. "Well, who do we have here?" the driver said. His bright blue eyes bared into mine. Blonde highlights greeted me.
"W-what?" I asked Nash. "Shouldn't you be in school?"
"I skipped. Wasn't in the mood. So..." he said and looked down at my sign. "I-I saw what happened on the news. How are you doing?"
I looked down at the sign and shrugged. What am I supposed to tell him? That I was homeless for the time being and had no one to desert to? Well, I actually could but...
"Why are you holding around that sign? Isn't your dad home?" he asked me.
I shook my head no. "So you're homeless?" he asked. I nodded. "God, Eva. You could've stayed over at my house or someone else's!"
"I didn't feel comfortable," I said.
"Well too bad. You're coming with me. I know you and Cameron aren't on the greatest terms, but I have no idea why you couldn't go over to Carter's. I don't care if I get caught for skipping, we need to get you under a roof." I heard him unlock his car doors.
"I-is it okay if I bring someone?" I asked. I felt like Dan deserved it.
"No." I felt choked up again.
"Let me say goodbye, then..."
I walked over to Dan, who was quite some distance away. He looked down at me and asked, "How much did ya get?" I shook my head no.
I wrapped my arms around him and felt my tears start to come back. "S-someone came for me. I'll have to leave you... I'm so sorry. I'm sure someone or something will get you back on track one day. You've been a good friend," I explained. Dan hugged me back. He was like the father I never had. The moment I had to slip away caused me to break down. I handed the sign to Dan and saw a sympathetic smile smear across his face.
"Don't be upset for me. I'll still be here if you ever need me, I'm probably not going anywhere soon, but here is fine. Please stay safe," Dan told me. I turned around and ran to Nash's car as fast as I could. I sat in the passenger's seat and Nash took off. I saw Dan give a final wave. The guilt from just leaving him like that was unbearable. I just lost one of my friends. He'd helped me through these few hours while I was homeless a lot.
Nash was quiet the whole time he drove home. When we arrived, he instantly set up a shower for me with some fresh clothes and headed to the kitchen to cook me a meal. His mother was obviously pissed at Nash, but he somehow ignored her through this whole process.
Nash and his mother were going at it when I went downstairs after my shower. Mrs. Grier didn't seem to understand.
"Mom, I get that I skipped, okay?! But look, I had to bring Eva home. She was literally sleeping on the streets! She needed to get under a roof!" was the last thing that was said before they noticed me. Nash's face was full of fury, but it slowly faded into a smile when he saw me in his t-shirt, it was way too large.
"F-fine, Nash. She can stay here, but for the time being. Don't be doing anything naughty," Nash's mom said. She pinched her nose bridge and looked up at me.
"Here's your food," Nash said and led his hand toward the kitchen table.
Nash was sent to school right after I ate. "So are you and Nash dating?" his mother asked me. She was fairly close, more than I'd like.
"N-no," I answered. I was about to add, "I'm dating Cameron," but honestly, I don't even know if I am.
"Talking?"
"No."
"Friends?"
"Yes."
"Good. Sorry to ask, I just don't want my boy getting into trouble, not saying that you look like a trouble maker, it's just-- sorry, these are the wrong words. Plus, someone in your position might be upset, anyways. Do you need anything?" she explained. I shook my head no. "Better let you rest then."
I walked around Nash's house so I could learn my way around just a little. I found myself in his room. It just screamed, "Boy." I plopped down on his bed and just laid there. I let the thoughts get to me again. I broke down on Nash's bed, which was probably one of the worst things I could do. But I got everything situated in my head once I calmed down.
Carter raped me.
Cameron left me.
My house got robbed.
My mother is harmed.
I lost a friend.
