The Camera That Started It All

37:Everything's Crumbling

Around 4 am I got multiple texts from my siblings
G:Eveie come home please now please please
F:It's bad here please Addie
G:Mom and Dad are fighting
E:Where's Hunter?
F:He's with us.
E:Where are you guys?
H:My room. Mom and dad are outside.
E:Ok Hunter I think you have a key to me and Shawn's house.
H:Yeah I do.
E:Ok get some things and go there. I'm gonna pack,wake Shawn up, and we'll get a flight.
I jumped out of bed and started running
around the hotel room packing. I guess I woke Shawn up that way.
"Ev? What's wrong? Why are you packing? Babe?"
"Family. Falling. Apart. Hunter. Took. Girls. To. Our. House. Need. To. Go."
"Ok ok ok. Look at me. Breathe. Deep breathes hun."
I tried to take deep breaths but it was impossible I needed to pack and get on a plane to get to my siblings ASAP.
"Evelyn. What's going on? Calmly explain."
"My parents are fighting so I told Hunter to take the girls to our house sorry I should have woke you up and asked if it was ok."
"No no no it's fine. I don't care it's your family. Just keep packing I'll tell Andrew we need the jet."
I continue to run around gathering everything. Once Shawn told Andrew he walked around the hotel room to make sure everything was packed. I sat down on the bed to try to catch my breath.
"Hey hey. It's gonna be alright."
"Something's wrong. There's gotta be. All my life they've never fought. We had this perfect little family now it's all come crashing down."
He knelt down in front of me and placed one hand on my cheek and the other on my knee.
"Just relax. It's gonna be alright baby. I got the jet for us. Do you want Camila to pick us up or do you want me to get a driver?"
"Mila. Please."
"Ok you got it love."
I'm so scared. I hope this is a nightmare.
"Ok she's on the way"
Shawn's POV
She's frantically running aroing packing and I'm doing my best to calm her down but nothing seems to be working. She just needs to be home with her siblings right now and figure out what's going on with her parents. When Camila got to the hotel and we were checking out Ev got a call from Hunter saying it's not getting better causing her bolt to the car. She gave Camila the rundown of what's going on and I can tell she wants this to be a nightmare. We arrived at the airport and Camila and I consoled Evelyn for a few seconds.
"I'm so scared. They've never fought. Hunter said it's getting worse each minute."
"Listen babe. We're gonna get on the jet on we're gonna go home. You're gonna be with your siblings. We'll sort this out."
"Yeah Ev just breathe. It's probably over something really stupid. You know how people get."
Eve gave out a slight chuckle at Camila's remark as I wiped tears from her cheeks.
"Oh shoot I gotta go I have rehearsals! E call me if you need anything!"
We said our goodbyes and thank yous to camila and boarded the jet.
She's not ok I can tell she wants to be strong.
"It's probably over something stupid. It's gonna be ok breathe."
"I'm scared Shawny"
"I know."
I am too.
