My broody boy

24. I missed you

Rolling over in her bed, her hazel eyes focused on the ceiling above her and she frowned. Letting out a long sigh she flipped to her side and the frown deepened at how just empty her bed felt. In all this time she still hadn't gotten used to sleeping alone, she hated it.

"Damn it..." she cursed herself for thinking about him again as she threw herself from the bed and grabbed her robe and tied it around her. Shuffling her feet down the steps she walked into the room of laughter and over to the fridge.

"Overslept again E?" Ethan teased and she sent him a growl. "Sooner or later I think the professors might get annoyed with that."

"I don't care," she ran her hand through her tangled hair. "When the semester is over I'm transferring anyway," she reminded him.

"Yeah but you have a month left of the semester Eve," Sophie reminded her, rubbing her hand over her growing belly. "Don't want to slack off and let your grades drop."

"Alright mom," she rolled her eyes. "I'll get right on it. Won't ever be late again," she growled, slamming the fridge shut and storming towards the stairs.

"Eve seriously drop the damn attitude," Ethan snapped, so over his sister's mood the last few months. "I'm so sick of you lashing out at everyone, whatever stick has been shoved up your ass get rid of it!"

"Don't worry Ethan, it's gone. Just like you wanted," she tossed her hands up and they slammed to her sides. "Because that's how it works right?"

"Eve..." his temper bubbles and his eyes narrow.

"Mr. Ethan says be gone and bam!" she snapped her fingers together. "Gone, just like you wanted."

"Want me to make you coffee before you leave?" Sophie tried to calm down the situation she knew was stirring up. "I can even make you something to eat," she slowly stood, placing her hand on her almost seventh month belly.

"No thank you Sophie," she flashed her an honest smile. Her anger not towards her friend, not at all. "I'm going to go get ready," she spun on her feet and headed back up the stairs.

"What is her problem?" Ethan snapped slamming down the glass in her hand. "All she has done is being bitchy and moan and pout."

"Ethan..."

"I mean what does she want me to do? She chose to go to school around here yet she bitches like it's somehow my fault."

"Ethan..." Sophie shook her head, placing her hand on his shoulder feeling him shake. "It's not school..." she told him, not getting why he was confused. "She loved him," she reminded him and watched as it almost clicked in his head.

"That's what her problem is? Because Jaxon isn't here? They barely knew each other!" he threw his hands up annoyed.

"It doesn't matter Ethan," her voice cracked a bit. "Doesn't matter how long she knew him, she loved him and he is gone. And in her mind, he is gone because of you."

"Bullshit...he would have been gone either way," he rolled his eyes. "He would have taken that job, that's just how Jaxon is."

"You know..." Sophie let out a dry laugh standing up. "Maybe it isn't Eve who has a stick in her ass..."

"Sophie..." he called but she just threw her hand up walking out. "Damn women..." he groaned, slamming his hand down and walking out.

Running her brush through her long hair she examined her appearance. Hair flawless, makeup flawless, outfit... perfect. Yet the smile on her face was completely fake.
