Progress, short stories & whatnot

Writing practice 1

Holo.
This first upload is a practice writing I was doing to try to get a plot for a story. It has no name yet and I only need to work on a couple things before I make the book.
.
Edit 1: nothing new, just fixing a few things
.
Character context. (You can skip this)
Evelyn is a trans women who's only had voice surgery. She lives with her friend Mykie in an apartment only a couple hours away from where she used to live. She moved for some dumb shit she did in college  (hasn't been confirmed if she dropped out or not). She now works at a cafe and is trying to save up to further transition. Evelyn is pretty fair skinned, has one red eye, the other is brown, has brown hair, her hair style is one of those only about their head is shaved things. She had dye in her hair, but it's faded only showing the bleach.
Mykie is Evelyn's friend and roommate. They have a "mother daughter relationship". Her and Evelyn met online when Ev was around 13-15, when Ev thought her parents wouldn't be accepting. They met up eventually and stayed friends since. Mykie and Ev started living together when Evelyn had to go and goof everything up in college, rent was a problem, but Mykie always payed the larger sum. It isn't yet confirmed what Mykie's job is, nor much about her, but I have an idea for her. A pretty feminine girl, she likes being extra with makeup, she even helps Evelyn with hers.
Gene's life is fucked (my fault, oops). It all went down hill for him when rumors, with no proof, spread, making him out to be a terrible person. People whisper, avoid him, and even sometimes get in his face. His parents don't really belive the rumors, however, they did start treating him different, lesser. He has (as of right now) a brother who also doesn't belive it but is nasty to him anyway,he sees this as a "sink or swim" situation when we all know it's not. Gene lives with his parents but he never sticks around. You can often find him at a bar, wondering the streets, crashed at one of his friends houses, or at the cafe he works at.

Now for the story, which isn't done btw

Me and Gene had gone out to a bar for a "short hang out" which turned into a couple hours. He offered to walk me home, clearly drunk, I said yes though. Not to take advantage of him or have him do it to me, but I will not have him walk anywhere else alone being that drunk. When we got to my apartment he said "I'll see you at work tomorrow"
and began to walk off
"Gene" I got his attention "stay here tonight". From what I know, Gene goes to bars often and doesn't exactly have a house. He lives with his parents but they don't get along too well so Gene doesn't stay there, and when he does, not for long.

"No, I'm good" he smiled at me. I'm not the type who's like "I'm not taking no for answer" but this is an exception.

"No. Stay. I refuse to let you walk around this drunk"

"I'm not that drunk"

"do you even remember which one of us had more drinks? More strong drinks?"

He took a breath, he seemed to be heavily contemplating my "offer". He almost looked like a student trying to find an excuse for not having work done.

"Fine, don't you have a roommate though?"

"Yea, she'll be fine with it"

Wow Evelyn, I doubt he believes you. Mykie, my roommate, isn't too fond of Gene. Even though I've told her countless times that rumors are just rumors. I opened the door, knowing it'd be unlocked, Mykie is a parent friend, I'm surprised she hasn't tried to ground me yet. The moment that door opened I heard someone rush to see who it was, it was obviously Mykie.

"Ev, it's 2:50, where did you go?" She seemed like she was going to say more but she saw Gene and only assumed the worst. "I went out. Thought I told you that, mom" . This was our thing, I'd do something dumb then I'd get the wrath of an anger mom.

"Evelyn-" I turned to Gene "give us a second" I went over to Mykie.

"Evelyn, my dear, my sweet child, why the fuck is he in our house?"

"Because he's my friend and needs a place to stay"

"Evelyn-"

"I'd let your crusty ass crash at my place"

"Ev, he's a-"

"rumors are just rumors, Mykie. What are we? In middle school?"

"But what if rumors have some truth?"

"Come on, Mike, it's not like he's moving in. He's staying for one night. Maybe not even a full night." She sighed "fine."

"Thanks, mom"

This is supposed to be a "shipping practice". I want to pair Evelyn up with someone, but at the same time, I'm not sure if thay be a good idea, that's why this is a thing. Oh, also, y'all can help with this story too if you want. Just message me on instagram or discord, wattpad doesn't allow me to send messages.
