A/N: To everyone who's read this before and wondered what happened to the story, I apologize. I completely spaced out when I was writing summaries and forgot that they had to be K rated-obviously the word 'shit' isn't K rated and I just didn't realize I had to change it. So the admins pulled the story and suspended my account for a week. I'll be putting this back up and trying to update soon now that I'm on summer break.
Chibs Telford had no doubts in his mind—life as he knew it was about to change. Drastically.
He sat on the bench a few feet away from where the Greyhound bus he'd been waiting on would arrive. It seemed like he'd been there for hours, but a quick glance at the clock positioned on the wall of the small bus station reminded him he'd only been there 10 minutes or so. The familiar noise of an engine forced his gaze away from the clock and to the approaching bus, watching as it slowed to a stop and let it's few passengers out. Chibs was a few miles outside of Charming, the town too small itself to be of any merit or deserving of a Greyhound stop. Despite the fact that Chibs knew he had no reason to be anxious, he couldn't help the feeling slowly bubbling up in his gut. Eyes locked on the bus, scanning the figures that emerged, he grinned at the final figure. It was a young woman, no more than 22 years old, long black hair falling in waves to her waist, a pair of sunglasses perched carefully on her delicate features. She had a massive duffel bag slung over her shoulders, across her body, and another one in her right hand. For a moment, she took in the surrounding area, the bus slowly departing from the station as she got her bearings. Finally, she turned her gaze towards Chibs, a smile of recognitions slowly spreading across her lips. Making her way over to the bench where he sat, she dropped the bag in her hand onto the ground, "Well, if it isn't Filip Telford, still alive after all these years," she said sarcastically, her words dripping with the familiar sound of someone from home.
"I could say the same damn thing about you, Evelyn. Fuckin' disappearin' for a year without telling anyone where you're goin'," Chibs retorted, not at all surprised to see the smile brighten at his accusation.
"Nah. I just had to have a good adventure before I finished school, and it didn't hurt nobody. I'm still alive, aren't I?" she chimed, Chibs unable to suppress and chuckle at the familiar spitfire attitude.
"Suppose you're right…it's good to see you again Ev, I missed you."
Shifting the bag on her back, she stretched her arms out, pulling him into a hug, "Missed you too. Nice to see that ugly mug of yours again," she teased, Chibs pulling back and glaring at jokingly.
"Face only a sister could love, eh?"
"That it is, Chibs, that it is."
