Unlocking the curse

The Anger

Hello lovelies, hope you are all doing fine during this pandemic. I hope you all are staying indoors and staying safe. Take care guys. Store as much food possible and don't panic. Just quarantine yourself from the world and be safe.
Since I have nothing but time now, thought why not write more.

Chapter 38

Evelyn's POV

When I woke up in the morning, I had fixated myself on one job, set Cole straight on what happened last night. Even though Ashton said he would set a meeting, whenever possible, I need to do this as soon as possible. The more time it takes, the more misunderstanding it sets in. 

Whatever I feel for Cole is just 'meant to be' stuffs. Nothing serious, nothing to worry about, at least from my side. I need to believe that myself so that I don't get carried away when anyone says anything. I need to sculpt it into my head.

I took a shower and got dressed, went downstairs meet with everyone. 

"Not fair, Eve." Max said when he saw me. He was munching on cereal, sitting on the island, in the kitchen. 

Everyone's head was focused on me. "What did I do?" I asked him, getting myself a bowl and pouring some cereal. I took a seat beside Max.

"You slept on your bed while you let us all get a backache.." He said having a poker face. 

"Not me" Ashton said while coming from the living room.

The rest of them were in the living room, continued their breakfast. Ashton took a seat on the other side of me and gave a reassuring pat on my back.

"Cole will be in his house at Manchester right?" I asked Ashton. 

Max started coughing and spit his spoon of cereal. He excused himself. So everyone indeed thinks I am in love with him. Well I am going to set them all straight. He joined back and looked at Ashton. They both didn't say anything for a while. 

"Evelyn, I know about everything." Max said in a low whisper. My head shot up towards him. He looked at Ashton and he nodded. Looked like he was giving confirmation for something.

"I know about your visions and your connection to Cole and Ashton. I have known since that night you ran out on us." Max said, again in hushed tone.

I looked at Ashton for confirmation. Wasn't anyone else not supposed to know about this? Except the ones who are involved in this. That means Max is involved? But, Harry knows too and that's what killed my parents. That's what the clairvoyant said. But Max has known for sometime before I told Harry. So this means, he is involved in this.

Ashton nodded his head. "He is the key Evelyn. He can sorta predict what will happen in the future. He knew about your..," Ashton stopped midway on Alex's and Harry's entry.

They looked at Ashton and Max before taking a seat opposite to us. 

"Max is involved in this?" I asked Alex. She looked at them both and nodded. 

"So back to the secretive 'vision' gang? I am going to be left out again, aren't I?" Harry asking, whining.

"You already know a lot more than the others, Ryder." Ashton replied. 

"Yeah, wouldn't have known that too if I didn't tail these two when they went to meet with Silas Damon or when I joined you all in the library, or when Max himself said about all these vision stuffs. Totally in the 'vision' gang." He said sarcastically.

Back up. Did he say Max told him about the visions? 

"Max told you about the visions? Was it before or after I told you?" I asked Harry, impatiently.
