Evee
sat in her apartment her head bandage and her knees to her chest. She
was fresh out the shower her Mickey Mouse tanktop clung to her skin
while her red shorts seemed pale in comparison. Her eyes sullen and
her face white as a sheet. The incessant tone of her blackberry going
off phone calls, text messages, BBM but she ignored it all.
This
wasn’t supposed to be like this, her whole life she aspired to be
on top, to rule the world. Yet she was cowardly hiding out in her
dimly lit apartment. She had the best view, the glamorous clothes,
the prestigious lifestyle but it didn’t fill that guilt in her
soul. She wanted power and she definitely got it but it was too much.
Wishing
to not hold her secret anymore to just walk onto her balcony and
scream it from her lungs. She couldn’t it already harmed people,
people died because of it. The shooting shouldn’t have happened,
funerals wouldn’t start and mothers wouldn’t be crying. She could
see the faces of tears as they gathered around bodies.
What
happened to emotionless Evee? What happened to the girl who barely
even batted an eye when Landon died and stifled a yawn about Amelia.
Now she was a nervous wreck in her bedroom over her harboring secret.
She was losing her damn mind she could feel the guilt tightening
around her throat but it vanished with the loud thuds.
Knocking
on her door didn’t surprise her but the voice did and she knew that
voice too well. It lulled her to sleep on nights when her terrors got
the best of her, it scolded her eating habits or when she over
shopped, it let out a contagious laughter when she was upset. She
leaped from her bed to the door unlatching the many locks.
Ezekiel leaned against the frame holding a solitary blue rose and a frown. “Easy I thought they hurt you” She whispered but he just enveloped her into a hug. “No I just walked away from it, I just had to think about you Evee” He whispered in her ear. She pulled away from him letting her fingertips touch his face loving. “Its to dangerous, I need to get out Easy” Evee said and pulled away from him.
