The Nine and a Love (ON HIATUS)

5.

"We've been friends since we were five." Brian said. 

"How is she?" Aaleyah asked excitedly. She was already very fond of Evelyn and wanted to know all about her.

"She's feisty and tough. But once you get to know her, she's really soft and sensitive. She grew up with her three brothers who pampered her to infinity," Brian said under her chuckled as he stared at Evelyn who was drinking alone by the table. "She is all I could ask for. She has always been there for me through hard and bad times. She is a true friend." He added in a smile.

"She has a boyish nature. I like how she punched at Carson, it was very impressive." Emilia said under her giggle.

"What!" Cornelia and Aaleyah exclaimed in unison, wearing a bright smile.

"She punched Carson," Cornelia said in amazement and shook her head. "I love Evelyn already."

"Ohoy—Eve is straight. Don't go bisexual over her if you don't wanna get your ass beaten up." Brian warned giving her a pointed look. 

Evelyn took another cup of sprite and gulped down her throat. She let out a satisfied groaned before reaching for the third one. She silently stayed on her position as she watched Brian and the girls going into their own business.

"Enjoying the party alone, beautiful," Carson came by her side and took a cup of drink from the table. Evelyn frowned over and turned towards him, glaring.

"Piss off, Asshole," Evelyn deadpanned and turned her gaze back to  Brian who was now making out with a girl. Brian was never one to hook up with girls, but he started doing that after suffering a major heartbreak some months ago. Evelyn only wishes he'd stop doing that. She sighed and shook her head before looking around for Emilia. "What are you still doing here?" She asked bitterly, sensing his existence beside her.

"I'm enjoying your company," Carson said in a flirtatious smiled and looked down at her. Evelyn huffed in annoyance before her eyes finally landed on Emilia—she was with a guy. She seemed to be in a different state that earlier. Evelyn grimaced at the current state of Emilia. Though she met her just some hours ago, she has a gut feeling that Emilia is not the type of girl to be drinking and hanging around with any guys. And the guy with her seemed to be very touchy of her.

Evelyn scowled visibly before placing the cup on the table and marched towards her. "Emilia," She called out and reached out for the paper cup that Emilia was holding. Her face twisted upon smelling the strong pungent of alcohol.

"Evelyn," Emilia squealed drunkenly under her hiccuped. "I'm feeling so hot," she said dreamily running her hands over her body. Evelyn creased her brows at her strange behavior before realization hit her. Emilia seemed to be aroused. Evelyn snapped at the guy and gave him a long suspicious look before looking back to Emilia.

"Come now, let's go back." Evelyn told her and took her hand.

"Don't worry, new girl, I'll bring her later," The guy said.

"No, thanks, I don't trust you," Evelyn snapped before dragging Emilia along with her.

"Can't you see we're having fun?" The guy seethed and pulled Emilia by her other hand. Evelyn curled up her lips in disgust and reached her hand over the guy's head and grabbed a handful of his hair and pulled roughly making the guy screamed in agony. Luckily, the guy was some tad taller than her, so she was able to reach him. 

All eyes landed on them upon hearing the scream. Brian eyes went wide on noticing them and quickly came beside Evelyn.

"No, you are the only one who was enjoying and taking advantage of her." Evelyn said calmly but her forced over his hair didn't loosen. "Or are you the one who drugged her with Ecstasy?" She growled and everyone let out a shocked gasped. The guy groaned out loud in pain as Evelyn pulled his hair forcefully. With her other hand, she handed Emilia to Brian.
