Evan house isn't a long walk away but it feels horrible everything aches and I don't know how long I'll be able to keep up. However I DO NOT want to be carried so I continue while wincing.
"Who did this to you, Jen?" He asks sternly but his eyes are full of empathy.
" No one. I fell over!" I didn't need Evan to do anything for me, I'll be fine by myself.
" Look Evan I don't need your help. I'm just gonna go home!"I say as I start to walk away from him but sure enough he follows.
"I can't just stand here and let you go hurt, the least I can do is walk with you to your house. Make sure you get home safe."
" Fine!"
"Where do you live?"
"27 Osworth road"
"Wait isn't that Maggie's foster home?"
I glare at him, how the hell did he know that. Then I remember Maggie will be home, I don't want her seeing me like this.
"Yes it is, come on lets go your house!"
He smiles and we walk to his.
"My mums home so we've gotta be quiet!" He sees the worried look on my face! "Don't worry she's got a man round!" I nod.
We sneak upstairs and walk into his room. I was expecting some kind of typical popular-boy bedroom but that's not what I get. His room is full of paintings and drawing, it's beautiful. I sit down on the bed because I'm overwhelmed with tiredness, he walk in with a first aid kit and starts whipping the cut on my head. His face is so close to mine I feel his hot breathe.
"Look you don't have to tell me who did this but can't you tell me what happened?" I look into his eyes, he already knows so much about me ( that I'm living in a foster home) why not tell him everything. I cave in.
"Well I was walking out of the elderly home when- I was midway through speaking when Evan asks
"What were you doing there?"
"Volunteering!" I wait for his reply but he smirks and he dimples appear once again.
"You volunteer?"
"Yes I, is that so hard to believe?" I ask annoyed.
" No I believe you, that's a complete Jen thing to do!" I don't know what he means but I carry on with my story.
"Anyway, as I walked out I saw Sarah and cut a long story short she beat me up along with her two mates and then I ran away into you!"
Evan clenches his jaw!
"Sarah did this?"
"Yep!"
"Why?" Damn I was hoping we could avoid that fact that it was about him.
"Because...... well..because of you!"
"What?"
"She told me to stay away from you"
"I'm sorry Jen!"
"Not your fault you have a crazy b*tch for a girlfriend"
"You still think we go out, Jen I've never gone out with Sarah and if I'm honest I've never been out with anyone!"
I scoff, I can't believe that, Evan goes back to cleaning up my face. I can't help to stare at him his face tight with concentration. Crap he catches me staring I quickly break the contact and look away blushing. About ten minutes later I'm all cleared up.
"Thank you!"I say and I mean it I felt so much better! Evan sits down on the bed beside me our legs touching, warmth radiating between us.
"It was my fault though, you shouldn't be thanking me." A sad look of guilt fills Evan's eyes.
"Hey, hey hey that WAS NOT your fault Ev!" I grab his head with my hands in impulse and he smiles looking at me.
"You called me Ev!" He states smiling. I pull my hands away from his face and look down.
"Did I?"
"Yeah it was cute, no ones ever called me it before!" I look up at him and smile.
"I should probably go don't wanna spoil your Saturday night." I say getting up grabbing my jacket.
" Jen, you are not spoiling my night, in fact you've made it better. Why don't you just stay!"
I think about his proposal, I suppose it would be nice to spend more time with him but I'll have to text Maggie.
" OK" I say. He smiles and I can't help but do so, no one makes me happy like he does since Sam and my mother passed! Evan suggest we watch a movie and I agree so he gets up and goes downstairs to find one. As he's gone I wonder round his room staring at his art. I come across a folder on his night stand and open it up. I see loads of sketches of me, wow he draws me, that must mean something right? As I'm looking through them I hear the door open and close.
"Ohhhhh no no no, you don't wanna see that, its embarrassing!"
" no you're amazing Evan you've got talent!" I look up at his face he's trying to hide his face with his hands and his face is bright pink.
"I thought you'd find it creepy!?"
"No it's amazing, I like this one!" I say holding it up and him smiling. I then slip it back into the folder and I'm about to ask what movie he brought when he lunges at me hands on my hair and brings his lips to mine. Its the best feeling ever it fills me up with adrenaline and I kiss back with passion, nothing else in the world matters in this moment. He pulls away and brings his forehead to mine and looks into my eyes.
