Hey guys, this is a new story that ive had in my mind for the past few months.
This is a very emotional type story and I kind of wanted to write a simple story so that my mind could filter
some inspiration. So enjoy!
Characters:
Evangeline Winters- Vanessa Hudgens
Ryan Samuels- Zac Efron
Cameron Rivers- Alex Pettyfer
Danielle Montgomery- Selena Gomez
Evangeline opened up her eyes to hear the loud banging of the walls from upstairs in her bedroom. She shook her head, and started to hear crying. "Oh my God. Bridget!" She started sprinting up the steps, rushing immediately into her baby's bedroom. She picked up her daughter from the crib and held her tight, stroking her growing brown hair. She started singing a soft lullaby, hoping that it would soothe her. It did, as she could feel her small body go up and down. She smiled a little, watching her daughter. She pulled up a chair and sat on it, rocking Bridget, back and forth.
The noises continued from her bedroom, she could hear things being smashed and loud moans. She sighed and placed her baby back into her crib. Evangeline pulled her sweater closer to her body as she turned off the lights and closed the door behind her. She quietly walked towards her bedroom. As she entered, she saw him. Her husband was there on the bed, naked, touching some girl she's never seen before. She crossed her arms, feeling the pain inside of her chest as she stood there, watching. Tears started forming as she suddenly heard her own tears and her sadness pouring out.
"Angie! What are you…d-doing here?"
She shook her head, "No reason. I just…never mind. Can you at least keep things down? Bridget is sleeping and you're making way too much noise." He gave a slight nod as he waved his hand at her, signaling her to leave. She gave one quick nod, before scurrying back out to the hall. She was upset, and in pain. This was her life. She never asked for this, or at least…the way it was now. It used to be just her and Ryan. They were perfect together for so many years, but…things immediately changed the day she got home from the hospital with Bridget sound asleep in her arms.
Evangeline was a sweet girl straight out from high school. She had lots of goals and ambitions, because her family trusted her enough to have her own. She wanted to be as successful as her parents were. Her dream was to study and become a medical doctor. Whatever things that dealt with medicine, she was on for. Then, as she entered college, things changed because she met Ryan. Her instincts told her that he was a sweet guy. He was a gentleman, and was extremely romantic. She had never felt that way about anyone. He swept her off her feet. Except, when she married him, she gave up her medical career and simply became an English teacher.
Angie wanted to stay home with her daughter right when she was born. Her family loved him, but…something happened to Ryan that caused him to overreact and turn into a monster, someone she wished she never married. He never told her anything about his family and she had only met them once during the wedding. Even then, they were quiet and solemn. She wondered exactly why. Ryan changed over the years, but Evangeline managed to stay with him, regardless. She wanted to be faithful to him and hoped that he would come to his senses. He would always tell her that he would change and that it wouldn't happen again. She would believe him, but then, the next night…some other woman was lying in her bed with her husband. Ryan would arrive home drunk or worse.
Every night, she would cry herself to sleep, knowing that the one she thought she loved would slip away. She wiped her tears with the back of her hand and walked downstairs, plopping onto the couch. Her phone started to vibrate and she grabbed it from the coffee table, pressing the talk button and placing it near her ear.
"Hello?" she sniffed, wiping away her tears again.
"Angie? Are you ok? I thought you might need a friend to talk to. Did Ryan do it again?"
Evangeline sniffed as she grabbed a tissue from the tissue box, wiping her eyes, "Yeah. He did. Danielle, I can't do this. I'm….scared."
Danielle sighed on the other end, knowing the pain she was going through, "Aw, Angie. Why don't you file a divorce, already? I know you want to be faithful, always, to him, but it's not working. Clearly, he's the one being unfaithful to you. Why are you sitting around, watching it happen?"
"Because, Elle. It's not my call. Something is wrong with him, I know it. It's a gut feeling, but he won't tell me anything."
"Angie, what's going to happen when Bridget grows up? She'll be traumatized seeing her own father having sex with a billion other girls." Evangeline shook her head, feeling her throat close up, "I-I can't. I…don't know what to do. Danielle, I still love him, no matter what he does. I don't understand why he would do this to me. I thought…he cared about our family."
"I'm sorry, Angie. Look, just go to court tomorrow. File for a divorce and I guarantee you that you will at least be able to keep your daughter. If you want, you can live with me. I mean, I have plenty of room for the both of you. Just…do what's right in your heart, Angie. I promise you, if you do this…things would get better."
As much as Evangeline hated to admit it, her best friend was right. She couldn't continue to live her life with Ryan, no matter what the situation was. She cared about Bridget and once she asked Ryan to stop, he wouldn't. It was time to take matters into her hands. "You're right, Danielle. I…I will go to one of the local law firms in town and I'll decide what I should do."
"Alright, Angie. Just…be careful."
"Ok, thanks a lot Danielle. I'll come by your house at noon, tomorrow." Evangeline hung up and ran a hand through her hair. She could hear footsteps coming down the stairs as she turned around to see Ryan and his one-night-stand walk down. She left the house as Ryan turned towards her. She immediately turned away, crossing her arms.
"Hey," he whispered, walking slowly up to her. Evangeline stayed silent, closing her eyes, hoping that he would just let her be. "Look, about tonight…" Evangeline put her hand up, signaling him to stop as she rotated herself, looking at him, "I don't care. Neither do I want to know who she was or what happened. But, can you sit down for a minute?" Ryan nodded as Evangeline scooted over, giving a decent amount of space between them on the couch. She could distinctly smell the amount of alcohol in his breath. She pinched her nose slightly and took a deep breath before continuing.
"Look, Ryan, we all knew that this was going to happen."
Ryan shook his head, completely confused, "What do you mean?" Evangeline sighed, giving him a look. "Would you just let me finish?" He nodded as she tried to recollect her thoughts, "Bridget is growing up fast, not to mention her ability to learn words extremely quickly. I just…don't want you to have to bring home some girl that I've never met before. Do you understand how that makes me feel?"
Ryan sighed and placed a hand on her knee, "I know, and I'm sorry. I just…have a lot going on in my mind."
Evangeline shook her head, moving her knee away from him, "Ryan, I'm sick of your excuses. You always say that. I can't tell if you're lying to me or not, but I'm done with your lies." Ryan looked at her, for once with extreme concern as to what she was going to say next, "No. I really am sorry, I just…I don't know why I'm doing this?"
She looked down, "Then, why can't you change…for the both of us? Do you understand how I feel every single time I hear you doing something with some girl? God, Ryan, I'm your wife! I should mean something to you. Do you remember the first day we met? You were one of the sweetest guys ever. That's what I want back. That's who I want back."
He shook his head, completely upset, "No. Evangeline I'm still that guy. Don't you get it?" Evangeline shook her head, breaking down into tears, "I'm sorry, Ryan. I love you, but I feel like you don't even care about this family anymore. You never tell me anything as if I'm invisible to you."
Ryan looked at her, pain making his heart weigh down, "No. You're important to me. I wouldn't have married you and had a kid with you nonetheless, if I didn't." Kristy stifled a laugh and looked up at him, "I know, but you've changed. It's time for me to…move on." Ryan froze his eyes searching hers to see a hint of her lying, but there was none. They stayed soft, but stern. "Angie, you don't want to do this. I know that in your heart you've put up with me all the time, and I promise that I will…"
She shook her head, not wanting to hear his words anymore, "I'm sorry, Ryan. I have to do this to protect Bridget. I want a divorce." Those words made Ryan stumble back, completely shocked at what his wife was saying. "No, no. Evangeline, you can't be serious, please. I…I promise that I won't…" Evangeline started bursting into tears, "I can't anymore, Ryan. I will never know when to trust you or give you the right to see our baby girl. I want what's best for her."
Ryan shot up, pacing back and forth, anger rising in him, "So what? You're going to take away Bridget from me? How can you do that? After all we've been through you think that you can just pick her up and leave?" Evangeline stayed silent, turning her head away from him. Ryan scoffed, "Why don't you just leave me? Why did you stay with me for so long if you knew this was going to happen?"
"Because I love you!" Evangeline yelled. Ryan looked away, his anger still visible. Angie closed her eyes and felt fresh tears flow from them, "Ryan, you'll never be the same again. I made the mistake of marrying you. I just…can't do this anymore, especially while you're fucking some other girl every night. Bridget deserves a better Dad than you."
Ryan closed his eyes, hating that Evangeline was here, saying all of this to him completely broke his heart. "Are you serious? You really want to end it? End…us?"
Evangeline could feel a tear roll down her cheek as she crossed her arms over her breasts, "Yes. I'm positive about this. I'm sorry, Ryan, but…it's over."
With those words, Evangeline walked upstairs, leaving Ryan torn. As her hair cascaded behind her back, she could feel her heart breaking into a million pieces. At that moment, she felt like she wasn't doing the right thing and that…maybe it was a mistake. But, what was done is done. She couldn't go back and change it. She couldn't go back and take back every horrible thing she said to Ryan.
She walked into her daughter's bedroom and picked up the phone, pressing a bunch of numbers, placing the phone to her ear, "Hey, Cameron? It's Angie. I need your help."
"What do you need this late at night?" the man asked from the other line, sounding really tired.
Angie looked down at her daughter, "I need you to help me file a divorce with my husband."
