CHAPTER 29: I Will Always Want Him

EVANGELINE

"You're being a little over dramatic, don't you think?" Payton says to me as she watches me pack my things to get ready to leave in the morning. 

"Really? You sure you want to come at me like that?" I asked her. 

"Come off it girl." She tells me. "You have found a man that loves you and wants to be with you and to be honest, I think he's telling you the truth." 

"Oh really?!" I glare at her. 

"Look, I love you Eva and you're my best friend, well, more like a sister to me, but you need to take a step back and think about what you're doing. I mean, I know it's hard what all you've been through with Jon and then your father." 

"Don't!" I hold up my hand to stop her.  "You don't know shit. You have no idea in how hard it is to lose my father and to watch him die in front of you. So do me a favor and don't play that cliche you know how hard it is when you don't." I snap at her as I finish putting away the last of my clothes in my bag. 

"Okay, fine. Maybe I don't understand EXACTLY how you're feeling at the moment but know this, that I know you more than you know yourself and we both know that you don't really want to leave. You're just running away because you're afraid." She smirks. 

"Fuck you!" I yell at her. 

"Fine, you know what? I'm not gonna be here and watch you make another regretful mistake in your life when you know that you could easily prevent from it happening." She says with her hands up in surrender before she turns around and storms out of the room, slamming the door behind her. 

I sit down on the bed and put my face in my hands and begin to cry really hard. She's right, in a way. I am running away. I'm just so tired of the pain and disappointment in my life and having to get close to someone and then it turning out the complete opposite of what I was hoping for. I'm not looking for a fairy tale, I'm just looking for something real, not an illusion. Although right now, I'm thinking that love doesn't exist and that it's just an illusion. 

I end up crying myself to sleep and then once I wake up in the morning, I sit up in bed, stretch a little bit and suddenly flashbacks of what happened last night go through my head. Then I look over beside me in bed and see that Jon isn't there. I really do miss his touch and maybe I as being over dramatic. But I'm just confused. 

Then there's the whole argument I had with Payton. Which as much as I hate to admit it, she might be right, maybe I was over dramatizing everything but I still at the same time was feeling a little bit betrayed from her for sticking up for him. 

I take a quick shower and get ready after deciding that maybe I do need to talk to him and hear him out. So I make my way downstairs to try and find him. Though when I get downstairs, I see everyone sitting around the dining table, eating breakfast, drinking coffee, laughing and having a good time it seems but I soon notice that someone is missing. Where's Jon?

"Oh, good morning, Eva." Joseph greets me. 

"Morning." I reply while looking over at Payton who is avoiding eye contact with me. 

"Why don't you have some breakfast?" Joseph suggests while pulling out a chair. 

"No thanks. I was wondering if Jon was here." I said nervously. 

Joseph looks at Payton who looks at him and closes her eyes. 

"He actually left earlier this morning. He left all of us plane tickets to head back to our homes. He thought it would be better if we all went our separate ways." He says disappointed. 

"Oh." I say disappointed. 

Everyone was then quiet and I looked at Payton who looked up at me in return. 

"Come here sweetie." She smiles. 

I then start to walk over towards her and I give her a big hug.

"I'm so sorry. I love you Payton and I didn't mean to snap at you." I apologize. 

"It's okay. You were upset. I love you girl." She says. 

"I love you too." I tell her. 

I then take a seat in the chair Joseph had pulled out for me and look around the table with everyone looking at me and smiling as well as passing the plates of food. 

Then after breakfast, we all were talking about staying in touch and I just couldn't stop thinking about Jon. But he left and probably would never want to see me again, so I just grabbed my bags and we all went to the airport to say goodbye to each other one last time. Well, at least for now to most of them. I think that Joseph and Payton may be seeing each other longer than this Summer. 

There's a lot that has happened over the Summer and the way that it has ended is crazy. I'll never forget it. Especially, Jon.
