There's Nothing Holding Me Back

Chapter 32

She got lonely sometimes but Trenton made sure to FaceTime her every night. Evelyn was grateful she had someone who called her every day to see how she was and all.

"God... I feel like such a loner freak." Evelyn would laugh and Trenton would shake his head. "You have a job and friends."

"I know that, Trent." Evelyn sighed. "I think about him all the time and I don't know how to stop." The words were out and Trenton smiled softly like saying 'those are the words I wanted to hear from you.' 

Truth be told, ever since Evelyn returned home Levi has been trying to live in her thoughts once again. It was almost like a curse. "Help me out here?"

"Um... maybe something's telling you he is your one true inevitable love."

"Shut up Trenton."

Trenton chuckled. 

Evelyn sighed again. "It all just makes me feel so lonely like I can't function without... him."

"Girl, I believe you need some booze to ease your nerves. Go to the bar, meet some guy, dance, have a good time and just party."

"Hm... and what happens when it all wears off, huh?"

"Listen Evelyn... You may not get over Levi now but with time-"

"I've had all the time in the world to get over him and just when I thought I forgot about him it all just flooded right in. Do you think this is normal?"

"You really loved him, huh?"

"Yeah..."

"What do you say I come over and we talk about it at a restaurant over your favorite chicken dish?"

"It all sounds refreshing..." Evelyn turned her eyes to the window where she could overlook the gate to the building next door. The times she'd kiss Levi through it... "Sounds like a plan, Trenton."

"Great, awesome... It's a date."

"It isn't remember."

"Ah right. Whatever we'll have some fun but not too much."

"Not too much- you said it."

"Alright, I'll catch a bus to Toronto at 7... what restaurant?"

"Um... the grill is fine."

"Cool. 7 at the grill."

"Trent?"

"Sup?"

"Do you think these memories would go away forever if I just picked up and left everything behind including the fact I move to New York or something."

"I don't know."

"Well how do you do it with Naomi?" Evelyn asked slowly watching as Trenton scratched his chin in thought. "I just learnt to let go."

"I've done that."

"There's still a part of you that holds on to Levi Reed."

Evelyn rolled her eyes and raised her eyebrows. "It sounds poisonous when you tell it to me..."

"See you at 7."

"Fine, see you then..." Evelyn ended the call and saw Bailee had messaged her over an hour ago. She nearly threw a tantrum when she saw Bailee's text of "Shawn Mendes"...

"ARE YOU SEEING THIS?!!??!! Tell me that isn't Levi- or is it? GODDD WHAT IS THIS??!!"

Evelyn took a moment to breathe before answering the text. "Yep, I believe so... Hey, the boy I once had a crush on is now famous. Good lord."
