"Sawyer?" I turn around quick, my voice going high pitched.

I feel Carter moving closer to me. And Sawyers eyes narrow in on us.

Of course Sawyer will be here, Evan probably invited him.

"I didn't know you would be here." I awkwardly  cough out and I feel the tension between Sawyer and Carter.

"Neither did I." Sawyer mumbles and is looking for someone.

"Have you seen my brother?" He asks, annoyance written all over his face.

"No." I tell him, as I also look around for Evan.

Sawyer walks away and I breath out.

"He's strange." Carter blurts out,

"He has his days." I agree, and wonder why Sawyer is the way he is.

Carter and I wander to a different table, and I catch Sawyer talking to Evan.

I can't help but watch their interaction, Sawyer looks angry, whisper yelling to his brother.

From the movement of Sawyers mouth, I know he's cursing every other word. Evan is nodding, not phased by Sawyers outburst.

"How much do you think these are?" Carter asks, being entertained by sunglasses that look too fancy for anyone to wear.

I look back at Sawyer, and Evan catches me staring. Sawyer doesn't miss Evans brief distraction and he turns to look back, his eyes landing on me.

I quickly look away, my face tinging red.

I need a distraction, I look over at Carter and he's reading about a package deal, so I grab a different pair of sunglasses,

"I think these match you better." I say in a rush, turning Carter around. He loses his balance and holds onto my shoulders for support.

Our faces are mere inches apart, and I'm stuck. I don't know what to say, my hands are still up to his face, as I slowly put the sunglasses on.

"Opal..." I hear a voice from the side. Thank goodness for a distraction....

I turn my head, and see Evan standing there, watching my awkward position.

"Yeah?"

And that's my chance, I move away from Carter and I catch a small smile from him.

"Need to talk to you," he pauses and looks over at Carter, "...alone." He says and I nod.

I follow Evan to a small corner and give him a confused look.

"I hope you take care of this one, and not throw it away." He tells me. He takes something out of his pocket and it's a small phone. I take a few steps back,

"No, I don't need a phone." I tell him, shaking my head. But like Sawyer, he doesn't leave room for any argument.

"Take it." His stern voice causes my hand to jerk and take the phone.

"Does it have a tracker?" I question.

He shakes his head no.

"Fine, but I won't use it." I tell him, walking away.

Great, now I have two phones.

"I think I'm going to go." I tell Carter as soon as I find him.

Knowing Sawyer is here makes me want to leave.

Carter breaths out,

"Do you need a ride?" He asks.

"No, thank you for offering." I tell him.
