To The Moon And Back

Chapter 5

Evelyn's POV

The room is dark, with only a dim light over my head. I feel something on my cheeks. Tears. My breathing is shallow, and I feel like something is holding my mouth closed. Duct tape.

My eyes start to sting as I try to hold back tears, and I try to move, but fail. My hands are tied behind my back and the chair, my legs tied to the chair legs. Ropes. Shaking, I try to untie the ropes.

Suddenly, a light turns on in what seems like a hallway. A tall, dark silhouette appears from behind a wall and stands under the light.

I squint my eyes to see who it is, and my eyes widen in realization. It's him. My eyes start to burn as tears stream out, my body shaking in fear, and muffled screams and pleads try to come out of my mouth.

He steps more into the light, but his eyes are still covered in darkness. He starts stepping closer to me, and with each step my heart pounds against my chest. He stops right in front of me, my vision starting to blur.

I can't see his eyes, but I can see his mouth. He grins, my eyes frozen. His smile is pure evil, as if he was the devil himself. It fills me with terror and rage. He leans down next to my ear. His breath down my neck makes me shiver.

He pauses for a minute, still grinning, then whispers, "Wake up."

I sit up, gasping for air. I clench the sheets of the bed tightly, trying to calm down. It was just a dream. I put my hand to my temple as my head throbs. Light is seeping through the closed window blinds, and I look at my clock that read 9:26 a.m. I look next to me and notice someone sleeping peacefully. Shon. Oh my God oh my God oh my God!

I quickly jump up from the bed and put my hands over my face and head.

"Oh. My. God. Oh my God!" My eyes widen in shock. Did we... Did we do it? Is... Is my virginity gone? I feel my face heat up and I look in the mirror at myself. My face is so bright, it looks like a strawberry. I have a white T-shirt on that is was too big, probably a guys shirt. I don't notice any pants, so I lift the shirt up to see just my black underwear, and I quickly pull it down, and by now my whole body is burning up.

I turn around, and look at Shon. He doesn't have a shirt on, and I don't even want to know what's under the covers.

I pace back and forth in my room, trying to remember what happened last night.

I remember us kissing and the whole scene with Emily, but after that... I only remember dancing and drinking.

I hear the covers shifting, and I turn around to see Shon staring at me, a small smile on his face. I feel my face burn.

"Um... What happened last night? Did we... Um... Y'know....?

"Have sex? No."

I sigh in relief, and move to sit on the bed next to him. Shon props himself up with his elbows. There is a moment if awkward silence before I speak up.

"So... What happened, exactly?" I nervously scratch my head.

"Well, you got very drunk and danced the night away, that's for sure. You have some pretty good dance moves, at least that's what Davis Hendras thinks."

He rolls his eyes and I gasp, covering my face, blushing.

"Oh my God. What did I do? Please don't tell me I don't want to know."

"Okay then-"

"Wait! Tell me, I do want to know!"

I reach for him, and my hand ends up right on the lower part of his stomach.  we both look at my hand, then look each other in the eyes. I take my hand off quickly and jump up.

"Oh God! I'm so sorry! I didn't know why I did that! I feel so stupid I'm so sorry-"

He cuts me off. "Hey hey hey, you are not stupid Ev. You are the smartest, prettiest girl I know. And I mean it."

Both of our faces turn beet-red, and we both look away from each other. After a moment of silence, I speak.

"So, what did happen?" I fiddle with my hands, waiting for the horrible news on what I did.

"Well,you were um... Grinding on Davis Hendras. And dancing on your counter. Then you grabbed my hand and dragged me back to your room, where you tried hooking up with me."

I cover my face in disgust and embarrassment, as I tell him to continue.

"But, I would never take advantage of a young woman, so I told you no, and you didn't like that, so you plopped down on the bed, crying, and fell asleep. Oh and you puked in the bathtub, but I cleaned it up."

I stare in his eyes, my mouth wide open in shock. I feel terrible. I swear to never get drunk again.

"Shon I am so sorry for everything I should never have gotten drunk. Thank you so much for taking care of me."

"Nah, it's fine. I had fun. Mostly, at least."

I look down at the clothes I'm wearing- or at least, the shirt I'm wearing. "Is this your shirt?"

He scratches his head. "Uh, yeah, it is. You started stripping down into your, um, underwear, and I had to put my shirt on you to cover you up. I didn't want to go through your drawers or invade your privacy."

"Oh, um, thanks." I hear the doorbell ring, and go to the window to check. It's Braden. What is he doing here?

"Wait here. Please"

"Oh, okay, sure."

I walk out of my room and head to the door. I unlock it and open it. Okay, Ev. Act natural. Be cool.

"Hey, Braden! How are you buddy?"

Wow. That was SO cool of you Ev. Way to go, idiot.

Braden looks at me up and down, and I realize that I'm standing there, in front of the person I love, in my underwear and another man's shirt. I instantly blush, and pull down Shon's shirt as far as it could go.

I see his face turn red, and a mix of emotions on his face, which looked like shock, confusion, and even anger.

I hear footsteps and see Braden look right past me as Shon says, "hey, Ev who's here?"

Braden looks back and forth at me and Shon, then steps back.

"I should go, it seems I came at a bad time."

He turns to leave, but I reach out to him and places my hand on his shoulder too turn him around.

"Wait! Don't go. I can explain everything. I know it looks bad but it's not what it looks like."

He turns around, and emotions of pain, anger, and jealousy are expressed by his face.
