Harry And Evelyn

Harry

I still remember when I met Evie for the first time.
It was a normal dinner on a normal day. Dad's best friend was invited.
I was six, same as Evie.
I saw her picking her nose. Yeah, that's gross but when you remind her of that day, she always says that I was the one who was picking my nose.

But every single day of our high school life was beautiful....

"Eww no! I wasn't picking my nose, you were the one" Evie shouted at me.

"C'mon guys, stop it! Let's talk about something else. I don't want all of us to think about nasty things on this beautiful halloween night" Penny said.

"Hey Evie, I think you should have called Amy too. All of us love her" George picked up a slice of pizza.

"I agree, but there is a reason why I call her eavesdrop. She will tell everything we talk about to my mom and of course I don't want that" Evie took a sip of her drink.

"Ok, then can you tell us about your brother?" Penny said.

" I think that's a kind of personal question. I can't...tell" Evie seemed tensed suddenly.

"So you don't trust me? You don't trust us?" Penny looked at Rupert.

Evie was staring at the floor quietly.

"You know what? It's fine. I need to go" Penny said and walked out of the door.

And then one by one, Rupert and George left too.
Evie was sitting infront of me.
I know everything about her brother, except his name. She trusts me. Maybe she trusts Penny too, but not in this case.

I kept a hand on Evie's shoulder. She looked at me and kept her head on my shoulders.

"What are you doing here Evelyn?" I said. I lost all my senses after seeing her here in this condition, but I kept calm.

"I can ask you the same question" her red eyes wanted an answer.
Her light brown hairs were now hanging below her chest. She hasn't changed a bit, except for her hairs.
The same golden eyes that I loved did not have the same love for me, it was full of shock and hatred.

"Look, I don't think I need to give you an answer. You don't have any idea what happened with me, you don't even remember --"

"I remember everything" her eyes were full of tears.
Both of us couldn't speak after that. Silence.

"Hey Harry! I think I gave you some work" Marco shouted from the door.

I nodded.

Evelyn didn't even wanted to look at me. She was controlling her tears.
But I don't care, the world didn't care for me. I had no one when I needed someone. And now, I don't care about anyone either.
But deep down I knew, that I want to hug Evelyn so badly and never leave her again.
