-Evelyn Duncan Flashback-
"Good morning, gloomy boy!" I greeted a classically handsome feature.
If only he didn't lower himself, Austin Kruz is no match.
"Hey, Eve." Austin smiled sadly.
Clara must hurt him, again.
"Let's go eat some ice cream? I got my paycheck yesterday and I can at least treat you some ice cream?" I playfully winked.
"Really? Are you sure? I have my own allowance, enough to buy anything you want to eat. So, just keep your money." Austin said with a little bit of pride, and showing his money playfully.
"So, you are saying that your allowance is bigger than my part-time salary?" I sulked.
Austin chuckled before he replied in a soft tone,
"What I mean is, I'm the one who should treat you. You need to use your money for your own, and for your family at least."
"But what can I use my salary for my family, when you already do much for them?" I refused politely.
Yes, Austin has been helping my family since he knew my condition. It was when he followed me secretly to my small broke apartment. He saw the evil landlord, forcing my family to leave the apartment. He saw everything.
Then, it's because of him, that my family get to live in a better place. It's not a big house, but it was comfy.
He bought it with his own savings. For my family.
Of course, I was so angry at him for doing that behind me, but seeing my little sister, Estelle, get to sleep peacefully. I had to accept it. But I swear, one day I will repay his kindness.
He grinned and straightened his broad shoulders.
"Then, can you buy me a notebook or diary though? I wanna write something, just like you too."
"Your wish is my command," I said as I mimicking a knight's oath.
We both burst into laughs.
