EVANGELINE

Chapter One - "Uh...Thank you!"

                                         EVANGELINE'S POV

"Eva, get down here! We need to talk" I heard Linda, my stepmother call for me. I groaned in annoyance and quickly finish up my delicious sandwich. Sometimes, that woman can be a pain in the ass!
I straightened my dress and quickly went downstairs only to find my Dad and Linda arguing over something.
Ever since they got married they've always been like this. Fighting! That sometimes I wondered why they got married in the first place. When Mom died, Dad was hardly ever around. Even when he had time, he wasted them sleeping with different kinds of women.
After his marriage to Linda, he still kept sleeping around and that was the major reason for their fight. I was very disappointed in my Dad, he promised me he wouldn't be like this but he broke that promise.

"Linda! Shut up!!!" Dad yelled raising his hand to slap Linda but he stopped halfway. Linda laughed like a crazy woman while I just watched my mouth opened in shock.
"No Charlie, go ahead and hit me! Hit me!!" She yelled dragging Dad by his shirt. It was then I knew their fight was getting violent, I had to stop this.

"Dad! What is going on? Please stop this!" I yelled desperately.

"You still love that dead woman don't you?" Linda asked ignoring me completely and the whole room fell silent, we all knew who she was referring to. I felt a lone tear cascade down my cheek. Her words struck a nerve.
"Why Charlie?! I'm better than her in every way. Can't you see that?! She's dead and will forever be gone so you better move on!" Linda yelled. Anger coursed through my veins and I couldn't control my peace anymore, I marched towards Linda and slapped her hard against the cheek.
"EVANGELINE!" Dad yelled his eyes glaring at my back but I paid him no mind. Linda held her cheek and was about to hit me back but I caught it.
"How dare you even say that? Are you so blind you can't see the truth Linda Agnes scar?!" I mocked "My mom died a Strong Loving Woman and yours? She died a prostitute -"
"EVANGELINE! That's enough" Dad yelled turning me around so i could face him. I looked at him in disbelief.
"You're not even going to defend her? Despite everything she's done for you?! How could you be so selfish Dad? How could you?!" I asked feeling tears stream down my face.
"Eva, Stop! Get out" He suddenly ordered and I stared at him in shock.
"What?" I asked and he gritted his teeth at me in anger. "You heard me, Get out and I don't want to see your face ever again!" He snapped and i smiled heart broken, it was something i was used to. "Okay, fuck her all you want. I don't care" I said marching to my room.
I was going to leave this place and there was no turning back.

I barged into my room and started packing my things. I already had a house so it made things easier. In two hours, I finished packing up. Then I proceeded to pack my boxes into the car. Suddenly, I had a phone call from Clara, my best best friend. She told me she was in Paris and would be back in a week and I couldn't wait to have her company again!

After the call, I didn't run into Dad and he didn't even bother to stop me.
"Eva, I tried talking to Charlie but-"
"No need, I'm good" I cut Linda off and her eyes widened. I carried the rest of my things into the car and drove off.
I couldn't help but think about my life, I'm broke and I don't have a boyfriend to cheer me up!

I turned to the other route and continued driving, suddenly my phone started ringing. I searched for it in my bag, it was my brother calling. Suddenly, I heard the sound of a car honking in front of me. I gasps and turned to the steering wheel, I was about to pull over but my car eventually bumped into a G-wagon car. I quickly stopped the car and flew out of it.
What have I done?!
A pretty woman got out of the G-wagon car and she gave me a cold stare, a handsome man also got out of the car. He looked cool but he didn't look pleased.
"I'm so sorry for this, I was not paying attention!" I exclaimed checking the damages, surprisingly the damage wasn't too deep. It was quite repairable.
"I could sue you for  this" I heard a husky voice spoke behind me, I turned around only to find a young handsome man staring back at me with no emotion in his eyes. He had Emerald- green eyes, pink lips and his hair was jet black, he looked like a geek god but i hadn't notice him earlier.
Either ways, these people were staring at me like I was some meat and it was kinda creepy.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I'll pay for this, i promise" I begged as the young lady handed him his phone. I could tell he was very influential even if I had never see him before.
"Hello. It's Damon Alex Montenegro" he spoke and I knew that he wasn't kidding. I had to do something! I couldn't possibly go to jail. "There's a -" before he could finish his I snatched the phone from his hand. He looked at me in shock.
The lady shook her head at me while the other man looked at me amused. "Please sir, have mercy. I don't want to go to jail, I'm begging you! I'll pay for this, you won't even see a scratch. I promise!"
Damon shared a look with the lady and she took the phone from my hand. "Hey, give that back!" I exclaimed while she flipped her hair backwards. "Why, is it yours? Now you're even taking a step to being a worthless thief!" She snapped causing my eyes to widen. "It's not yours either, I wanted to tell him something so spare me the pain and move your ass!" I snapped.
A Lamborghini car pulled over in front of Damon and he hopped in along with the handsome man.
"Hey! You won't report me to the police. Right?" I questioned as the woman got into the car. She slammed the door shut and they drove off leaving me grinning like an idiot.
"Uh...Thank you!" I yelled waving at the car, I looked like a complete idiot. Oh well!
But were they just going to leave the G-wagon here? What a waste!Whatever, I don't give a fuck!
