Without You

chapter seven

Eva

I slammed my phone down on the counter and stormed out of the bathroom and into the room.

I can't believe he called me and I heard all of that.

There was banging on the door and mine and Makayla's heads turned towards the door.

I went back into the bathroom and she went and answered the door.

"What do you to idiots want?" She said jokingly.

"Where is Eva??!" I heard Johnson say.

I walked out of the bathroom and I don't even care that I'm only in a towel.

"Fuck you guys. You guys are fake as fuck" I was mad as hell.

"Listen we were just talking. We didn't mean what we were saying, did you hear the part where I said I don't blame you?" Jack was rambling and Johnson stood small behind him.

I rolled my eyes and said "if that's how you guys really fucking feel then I don't need you in my life. I don't need fake people who secretly talk bad about me behind closed doors, okay so bye."

I went to shut the door but Jack held it open.

"Please Eva. I'm sorry"

"I'm sorry too Eva."

They both looked so scared that I wasn't going to forgive them. I just looked at both of them and said "I'll talk to you later"

And with that I pushed the door closed.

I turned around and Makayla was standing there confused.

I rolled my eyes and said, "I don't think jack meant to call me but he did and I heard him and Johnson straight up bashing me for not going to my moms funeral and not caring about anyone and just myself and going and partying. Like I'm sorry I was hurting but I didn't know what else to do. I felt like if I didn't go away that I wouldn't be here ether." I started rambling all my kept in feelings and a sad look washed over her face.

She pulled me over to the bed and we both sat down and she motioned for me to continue.

"I'll regret it for the rest of my life but I'm trying to not dwell on it. I just didn't want to cry Makayla. I just couldn't, it makes me feel more broken, so I did whatever I could to not cry. Jack had my phone right before I left and that's why I didn't contact anyone. I honestly just didn't care about anything. Emmet was helping me forget, but I swear on god I didn't do anything with another guy. Yeah I may have done some bad things but I would never cheat on jack. It hurts to think he thinks I did."

She nodded slowly. She always so understanding.

"I get it eva. We all cope differently. Your mom is not mad at you, I know that for sure. She understands more than anyone why you did what you did. She was the same way! She was always alone when she was sad, she understands believe me. Jack and jack are just dicks okay? They regretted what they said and are sorry, that doesn't make it okay, but at least they said sorry."

I looked down and took everything in she's saying. "You're right. I was hoping I could just come back and everything wouldn't hurt anymore. That I'd be happy and everything would go back to normal."

She smiled and placed a hand on my leg, "you've got this Eva. We've got this. We're going to have the best time these last few shows and then after we're going to move in together and start our amazing adult life's. It's all going to be okay."

I smiled and hugged her. I'm so thankful I have a best friend like her to help me keep sane.

Without her I don't know what I would do.

Jack

Dude I don't know what to do.

When me and Johnson would make her mad or upset she would always forgive us after we said sorry, but we really were being dicks about what it. She probably is really upset with me.

It's different now that we're dating, I can't tell if she's done or not, not that I think she would be over something i stupidly said.

But you never know.

"She'll come around. She can't stay mad at us forever." Johnson patted my shoulder as we made our way back to our room.

Later at L'Artusi

We all walk into the nice Italian restaurant and are greeted by a host.

He seemed like he could be 40 years old, he had a dark beard framing his jaw and he was really tall and skinny.

He smiled and greeted us, "hello guys. Welcome to L'Artusi, do you guys have a reservation?"

Cameron nodded and said "should be under Dallas, party of 16."

He nodded, looking down at his tablet.

He looked up and smiled saying, "right this way."

He guided us through the fancy dinning area and I looked to the left of me, at Eva.

She looked stunning. She was wearing a really pretty pink dress and her long blonde hair was curled and she just looked so fucking good.

She's not talking to me yet though.

She smiled at me but hasn't talked to me.

She's still mad.

Makayla

Eva and I sat next to each other, and on the other side of me was Johnson. He looked so handsome.

Gilinsky looked at the open seat next to Johnson or next to Eva, she noticed him contemplating and quickly looked down and pulled her phone out.

She was trying to act like she didn't care but even I could tell she really wanted him to sit next to her.

I looked up at him and he made eye contact with me.

I gestured to the seat next to Eva and he nodded quickly and took the seat.

Madison sat right across from me and I gave her a evil glare.

I don't know the bitch all that well but from what I was told, I'll fight her.

Also when Eva was mia for 3 weeks, she tried comforting Jack while she was staying at his house.

He of course wanted no part of it but she still made her way to him all the time to 'check on him.'

I could just tell how much she liked jack.

I just think him and Eva are meant to be, honestly.
