Evelyn's pov:
"You did so good." One of the girl's congratulated me after I walked backstage. I smiled at her and I was sure that I looked too happy. The first reason being that, I didn't trip in front of everyone and second that Liam's here! I just can't wait for this show to end so that I can go and meet him and the rest of the boys.
Smiling to myself, I walked towards the exit when suddenly Anthony grabbed me by my arms.
"Ouch." I cried, looking at him. No matter how hard I tried, he dragged me away from the backstage to the lockers. The cheers and noise died down and i could only hear my heartbeat going very fast."What the hell now?" I scowled, trying to break from his grip.
"I'm tired of you Evelyn." He glared, finally letting go of my arm.
"What are you talking about?" I asked, rubbing my arms which had already started to hurt.
"Don't act like you've done nothing." He chuckled bitterly.
"Honestly, I don't know what you're talking about." I replied flatly.
"Really?" He fake gasped and I nodded.
"You're unbelievable." He breathed out,"You're cheating on me with my best friend and you say you've done nothing!" He yelled,fuming with anger.
"What?" I asked,"That's not true."
"Oh so I'm lying now?"
"How the hell would i know that? That's not true."
"What's this then?" He frowned, pulling up his phone and playing a video of me and Nick. It was the video of what happened earlier in the morning, backstage when Nick was acting all so weird.
"Look, it's not what you're thinking." I explained,"I didn't do anything."
"Stop lying Evelyn. It's perfectly visible that you two have something going on. He's tucking the strand of your hair behind your ear and what do you do? Smile at him? You could have protester but no. I know something is going on"
"But it's nothing like that!" I protested, holding back my tears and mentally cursing myself for getting so vulnerable.
"It's perfectly visible and audible!" He shouted. I didn't understand who was the one recording it from so close that even the audio is audible.
"But I'm not cheating on you..." I whispered,"But who sent you this?"
"That doesn't matters Evelyn." He glared,"You know that you'll pay for it."
"What the hell? I didn't do anything." I fought, letting the tears fall down.
"So you mean to say that me and Riley are blind and deaf?"
"Riley?"
"She's the one who sent me this and I'm thankful to her." He smiled bitterly.
I just really wanted to run away at that moment. I've never feel so humiliated and helpless in my entire life. Deep down I knew that Riley will take revenge for what happened that day at school.
"I hate this sluttish attitude of yours." He gritted.
"Don't call me that." I warned,"I'm not a slut."
"Shut up Evelyn, please." He sighed, running his hands through his hair and started pacing back and fourth.
"Will you please listen to me?" I asked.
"I told you to shut-"
"Please Anthony, you have to tru-"
He glared and pushed me hard in the lockers, making me cry in pain,"I said shut up!"
"No." I fought back, crying and trying to push him away."Don't talk to me like that Evelyn!" He shouted,"I'm already pissed off."
"But I didn't do-"
Before I could even complete my sentence, I felt his hands hit my cheeks hard. I closed my eyes and felt my face burning with anger and pain.
"What the heck!" I heard the voice which i was pretty well familiar with. Liam."Whats going on?" I heard another familiar voice. Zayn.
I dared not to open my eyes and look at them for, I was embarrassed and scared. Just then I heard a loud thud and I quickly opened my eyes to find Anthony on the floor with a bruised nose and Liam above him.
"How dare you slap her?" Liam shouted while Zayn rushed to my side, helping me to gain my balance.
Liam threw another punch and got up, pulling Anthony up by his collars.
"Stop him." I sobbed, pointing at Liam.Zayn left my side and quickly held Liam back while Anthony clutched his stomach where Liam has just kicked him.
"Mate, Mate." Zayn said, trying to calm him down,"Calm down."
"How the hell can I calm down Zayn?" Liam shouted, trying to throw another punch but Zayn pulled him back.
"Get lost before me or Liam kills you." Zayn threatened. The look on Anthony's face was something which I had never seen before. He looked shocked, angry and scared at the same time. With a last glance at us, he ran away, wiping the blood off his nose.
After he was out of our sight, Liam and Zayn rushed up to me, trying to calm me down.
"Evie are you okay?" Liam asked but I didn't speak anything. What just happened in the last twenty minutes had scared me to hell.
"Evelyn?" Zayn asked, placing his hand on my shoulder.
I hugged Liam tightly, placing my head on his shoulder and kept crying without uttering a single word.
"Evie.... " Liam trailed off, his voice cracking at the end.
"I think we should take her home." Zayn suggested,"I'll inform the boys."
I felt Zayn removing his hand from my shoulder. Liam tried to make me speak but I just kept crying because I was too scared about what will happen next. Zayn came back a little later and wiped my tears before holding my hand. I stopped crying but still not a single sound came out of my mouth.
"We'll go from the back door." He explained to Liam,"The boys will meet us there."
With my head still on Liam's shoulder and one hand clasped with Zayn's hand, we walked to their van through the back door.
The boys gave me a pitiful look and helped me to get in the car. Still, I didn't let go of Liam. I felt like a koala who's always clung to a tree.
"Evelyn, you won this." Niall said from the backseat while me, Zayn and Liam were in the middle seat, giving me a small smile and handing me a trophy,"The second place."
"we got it on your behalf." Louis explained.
"T-Thank you." I croaked out, Finally speaking after thirty minutes and accepting the trophy. The ride to home was filled with an awkward tension around us and I was still thinking about the questions I was going to face at home by the boys.
