still you (mevie//malvie)

• XIV •

There were no words to describe what Evie is feeling right now. One second, they were all in the jet, heading to Los Angeles, the next second, they were back and hoarding boxes to Auradon, then she and Mal were okay, and the last second, she was heartbroken. 

She stares at Mal, halfway out of the door as she held on tight to her phone and her bag, a pained expression on her face as the guilt and fright came together. Evie was standing there, tears falling from her eyes as her heart drops. 

"Mal, where are you going?" She asks, her voice breaking as Mal held tighter to her bags, not maintaining eye contact with Evie as their friends began to check what was happening. Mal was leaving and she didn't even bother to wake anyone up about it. 

"I-I had a job offer, I'm directing a new movie and if I want the job I have to be back in New York at noon." She admits guiltily, her voice shaky as she still avoided Evie's gaze. 

"You're leaving me, again?" She asks, voice breaking as her volume increased, their friends flinched, Mal didn't, expecting that kind of reaction as she stares at Evie with glassy eyes, guilt, pain and betrayal swimming in her eyes. 

Evie tried pinching herself several times, hoping to wake up from this stupid nightmare but she was awake. Awake and there's nothing she could do but cry as she watches Mal try to approach her, she shakes her head, stepping back, stepping away. 

"You fucking promised that this time you won't leave me and now, now when we're finally going somewhere you fucking break it!" Evie yells accusingly at her, shoving her away when she tried holding Evie, Mal whimpers in pain the moment she came in contact with the wall. 

No one dared to stop them, not a soul dared to intervene, "Evie, I'm doing this for us!" Mal shouts back, taking deep breaths as Evie's eyes flared with anger, "Us? Us?! Why do we need a fucking movie? This is all for you, Mal!" 

Evie growls in frustration, frightening their friends as Mal walks towards her menacingly, "Maybe it is, Evie!" She howls, stopping in front of Evie as her face turns red, her hands beginning to shake violently. 

"I'm doing this so you wouldn't have to fucking bear with me, Evie! I'm leaving so you wouldn't have to deal with my ass because I'm still in love with you even if I don't admit it!" Mal yells, a rumble erupting from the back of her throat while the others duck, afraid that she'll turn to a dragon. 

The princess stands there, still angered as she stares at Mal, a new wave of emotions running through her as Mal huffs, "Don't come after me." She mutters, taking her bag and leaving the house. There wasn't a trace of her despite the boys checking everywhere. The only thing she left was a burned down tree and a dragon footprint, then that was it, she was gone. Just six in the fucking morning and she's already gone. 

Evie groans in frustration as she collapsed, down on the ground, at the same exact place where she read Mal's email. She sobs, crying her heart out as Uma and Audrey began to disappear, having a heated discussion with Jane and Carlos as Chad comforted her, soothing her down with rubbing circles on her back. 

 "It's going to be okay." Lonnie whispers, helping her up to sit at the couch, letting her cry on their shoulder until she calmed down. 

It hurts. Damn, it fucking hurts. And not because it happened before it meant it won't hurt again. It hurts more because this time there were no goodbyes. There was no act they were doing. They were actually in love with each other. 

What hurts more is that Evie heard it from her this time. 

I'm leaving so you wouldn't have to deal with my ass because I'm still in love with you even if I don't admit it!
