Broken Hearts - TreeBros Part 2 - The Separate Journeys

Chapter 32

Evan's POV:

I wake up to something tapping me on the shoulder, I slowly get up. I look around to see if anyone is here but there's no one.

What the fuck.

I yawn and look at the time. It's 6:30 pm.

Only a 30 minute nap? Seriously.

Suddenly something attacks me and I am thrown onto the floor. I hear Jared erupt in laughter.

Of course.

"Works every time" Jared says while getting up and looking through my nightstand drawers. I get up and look at him.

"Are you touching my stuff?" I say.

"I need money" He replies.

"For what?"

"Life"

"So you just decided to take mine?"

"Yep, does that surprise you?"

"I guess not" I say.

"Exactly" He says while pulling out a 10 dollar bill from my drawer, he sticks it in his pocket.

"I'll pay you back sometime" Jared says.

"You mean never?" I ask.

"When have I not payed you back for things like this?" He replies.

"You still haven't given me that 20 dollars you took last week"

He pauses. He says something under his breath but i can't quite hear it. I'm assume he cursed.

"Look Hansen I'll get the money to you I promise"

I sigh. "Fine"

Why do I always let him get away with this?

"What are you doing here anyway?" I ask.

"Well I was thinking since you're depressed and shit now is a good time to get fro yo"

"Only if you pay"

"Fine but you're not getting that ten back if I do"

~~~

Jared and I pull up to the parking lot of the frozen yogurt place. Jared pulls up into a spot and parks the car. I get out and shut the door. I look at my phone and read my notifications. '1 new message from Connor'. I start shaking.

What if he wants to end it all? What if he's texting because he just wants to say 'I hate you'. It could be good... no it can't be. It can't be good.

"Hansen" Jared says. "Come on, stop staring at your phone"

"Oh right" I say while putting my phone in my back pocket and following Jared inside.

There's only a few people here, Jared and I walk over and grab our fro yo cups. I go over and fill mine, half chocolate and half oreo. Jared watches me as I fill the cup.

"The chocolate looks like a literal piece of shit" He says.

I look down at my cup.

I mean he's not wrong.

I decide to ignore him and go to add my toppings, hot chocolate, M&M's, and chocolate chips. Jared just adds a bunch of reces cups to his. We go over to pay, Jared does the talking because he knows I'll mess up. Once we pay we go to sit down on a bench and eat. I feel my phone buzz in my back pocket. I take it out.

It's Connor.

I excuse myself and go into a bathroom stall, I answer my phone.

"Hey Evan" Connor says.

"H-hey" I say, trying not to tear up.

"Look if you hate me it's fine" I say.

"What? Why would I hate you?"

"I-i just" I pause for a second. "never mind it doesn't matter"

"I just wanted to make sure you were ok" He says, I can tell he's trying not to cry.

He still cares?

"Oh... yeah I'm fine"  I say.

Liar.

"Ok..." He says.

"Fine I'm totally fine" I say but I don't get an answer back.
