All I could think about was Evie. All day everyday, knowing she was out there now alone because of how I acted made me feel sick. Why do I have to be such a cunt all of the time!? Why can’t I just tell her what is going on inside of my head??

As I was “unpacking” I heard Myca shout for me, something about my mum. Evie had probably ran to my parents house and now mum was ringing with the follow up, “Why are you so stupid?” phone call, hesitantly I grabbed the phone off the stairs where Myca had left it and took a sharp intake of breath while my mum decided how to kindly tell me how disappointed she was with me.

“Danny love…” she started, “I know life hasn’t been kind to you but, you’re on the straight and narrow now and being like that with Evie is unnecessary. You’re the one who was horrible to her, you’re the one that messed it up and now you’re the one who has to explain to your once best friend WHY you did all that! You cannot expect for her to welcome you with open arms when you’ve been an arsehole to her. Do you understand? You’re all coming to dinner tomorrow; Myca and I are shopping all day leaving you and Evie together. By the time you two meet us here at 6pm I expect you to be a whole lot closer than you are now. FIX IT.”

“Oh, and I love you Danny!”

And with that she slammed the phone down at the precise moment Evie came through the door, seeing me sitting on the stairs she braced herself for more of my previous idiocy and shrugged off her coat leaving the battered P.S. I Love You book hidden out of sight as if she was protecting it from my harsh judgments.

A long silence passed before she glanced to where she was putting her converse and noticed something,

“Where’d your girlfriend go?” She asked with a mean smirk playing across her lips,

“She’s walking Belle. Mum’s been on the phone.” I add with a smirk of my own, she hates it when people make her seem weak,

“At least one member of the Worsnop family cares about me.”

“I care.” I retort hastily,

“No… I don’t think you do…”

“I care more than you will ever know”

“Give me one way in which you care about me, I bet you never even think about my little ugly existence.”

“What? You seriously think I don’t care?! Look, I know I’ve been the WORST best friend and I fully understand why you despise me but you’ve honestly never left my mind. Every second of everyday I see or hear something that reminds me of you, and every time you enter my head I see how beautiful you are and how no matter how much effort I put in that I’ll never be able to be as close to you as I want to be. I’ll never be able to hold you in my arms while we watch movies together and how I’ll never be able to fall asleep looking into your breath-taking green eyes. Because I left you and I fucked up and I once we were famous I didn’t fly back here and drag you to LA. I wanted to so bad, I wanted to fly out and have you live with me and watch you live out your dreams without a worry, but I couldn’t because I’m just a massive dick.” I only noticed that I’d walked down the remaining three steps once I’d finished my little speech, as I looked up into her eyes, those eyes she flashed me one of those smiles. The combination of such a beautiful smile and such beautiful eyes pretty much grinded my world to a halt.

Without noticing what was happening, I slowly noticed that Evie was getting closer and closer to me and before giving myself time to think I closed the gap in seconds and gently but passionately pressed my lips against hers. This is the moment I have been waiting for, for the past five years of my life. I was finally kissing Evie Marie Bruce…

Hey guys!

I basically don't know if any of you guys actually read this and I haven't been into rock music at all recently so If you do read this please vote/comment letting me know, because if no-one is reading or people don't want me to continue I'll basically just stop.

that's all, sorry for the long wait, starting college has been MAD. I hope you do like this, remember to vote/comment if you want me to keep this going! You may have also noticed my name change, it's just to get away from the music theme so much, this is still BlackVeilPoppy.

xoxo
