So sorry it took so long. My computer died on me and I finally figured out how to write this on my phone. This chapter was fun but the next will be even more fun! Pink promise...now on with the story. oh and i only own Evangeline nick carina and james.
I was so into my thoughts I hadn't realized that we had arrived at my car. Nor had I realized we weren't moving and that the doctor was looking at me.
"Sorry did you say something?" I asked blinking at him.
"Not at all. You seem to have a lot on your mind." He smiled warmly.I felt my heart hammer against my rib cage.
'I need to get out of this car.' I thought.
"Well I'm grateful for the ride." I tried to will my heart to slow down. "My coworkers should be here soon. I'll just wait in my car."
His smile faded but said nothing. His hand resting on the steering wheel was turning white as he gripped the wheel.
"It's dark I think you should stay here until they get here."
"I can take care of myself. I'm not the damsel in distress if I fainted like one today."
I was getting angry. I just want to go home. A bright light flashed across my face. I looked out ahead of the car towards mine. There was a car parked next to mine. I looked back at the doctor he smiled at me and bowed his head just a bit.
" It's been a pleasure."
"Thanks for everything Samuel."
I open the door and slid out his truck. Walking toward Carina's car the doors open and Carina and Nick hopped out. I ran to them and hugged them.
"OMG! Girl you had us soo worried!" Nick said as he squeezed a little tighter. Nick was my gay best friend and sometimes more of a girl then even me.
I laughed at them and smiled "Well I had a good doctor taking care of me." I waved back at Samuel in his truck. They looked back at the man sitting in the truck eyes widened a touch.
" Sign me up to get hit by a car next." Carina breathed.
Nick made a sound in approval. His blue eyes glittered with a thought that I didn't want to know. I just noticed he had cut his dark almost black hair super short. I shook my head I needed to get home. This was embarrassing they was staring. No gawking. It was bad enough that I did it but now them two. What the hell! Did he have like super powers or something.
"Ok that's enough I'd like to go home now." I said as I motion toward my car hoping they would get the hint. It took me a few minutes but I was in the car with Nick driving me home soon after. He kindly tucked me in after Carina made sure I took my pain killers. I felt like I young child with the flu. Sick, weak, with mom and dad falling over themselves to make the pain go away. Soon all around me started to fade to a warm,heavy, darkness that I couldn't fight. Not that I wanted to. The next morning I woke up to a bunch of text messages from Jessie. I groaned as I tried and failed to get out of bed. I completely forgot I had to go dress shopping with her. Her birthday was coming up and so was her big birthday bash.
"Fuck my life." I whispered as I slowly slipped out of my bed. I knew without looking I was bruised. I felt them like small punches all over my body as the skin where the bruises stretched. I sent Nick a text asking for a ride to Jessie's house. Then jumped into the shower and slowly washed myself. The warm water was amazing on the skin that wasn't bruised and cut. As you can imagine that wasn't a lot of skin though. I washed and combed the mass of curls I called my hair. When I was done combing my hair lay flat and wavy against my back. Turning off the water I dry off as I walk to my closet next to The bathroom doorway. My apartment wasn't much compared to other 24 year olds but I loved it. It was mine and mine alone. I had earned enough to have necessities and comforts. Opening the door to my closet I surveyed the shirts, jeans, and dresses inside. I chose a long black tank top,royal blue cardigan, blue skinny jeans and my favorite black knee high boots. I layed everything on the bed. Pulled underwear and a bra out and slipped everything on. As I started fluffing my hair my phone rang on the bed. I pick up the phone and answered hoping it was Nick and not Jessie wondering why I was so late.
"Hello?" I answered cautiously.
"Hey girl hey." Nicks voice rang merrily on the other end.
"Thank god. Where are you? Did you get my text?" I ask while finish fixing my hair I let the black mass fall to my waist in tight curls.
"Of course I was getting some food by you so your in luck. I'll be there in 3." He sang the last line when the beat on the radio.
I laughed fully not being able to stop myself.
" What?" He questioned knowing I was laughing at him.
"Oh nothing I just love how gay you are.I'll see you when you get here." I hung up the phone. Turned for one last look at my full body mirror on the back of the closet door. Last night took a toll on my body. I looked at my phone one last time realizing that James had never texted me back or even called. I know he said he had work today but...No! I will not start today off thinking about the relationship problems I'm going through. I surveyed my appearance again.
'A little blush, eyeliner and ill look as good as new.' I thought as I walked to the bathroom and apply them. As I finished I heard a light beeping of Nick's horn. I grabbed my bag and phone as I ran to the door. I locked my door, walked to the car and slipped in.
" Sexy sexy." Nick said smiling suggestively at me. " Is there a stud you didn't tell me about?"
I rolled me eyes. I swear I have the record for eyes rolls and its because of the man in front of me.
"Oh so it's for James still. Girl he's cute but come on you need a man! Like..." he thought hard as he pulled off. " like that doctor! Now that's a man!"
I chose to ignore him.
"I'm going to Jessie's we are shopping for her party."
I know what he means and it might be true but there are good parts about my boyfriend James. Besides the last time I was with a "man" he had a habit of proving he was a man by slapping me around. I listened to Nick babble until he pulled into a seven eleven.
"Great I could use a cup of coffee." I said before he said something that I couldn't look past. We walk into the store together in silence. I knew he got my hint I hadn't meant to hurt his feelings but it was to much to listen to. I started filling up a medium size coffee then added milk and sugar. Light and sweet the way I like it. Nick and I paid just as I was handed my change Nick gasped. I looked at him figuring it was something he saw on the Peoples cover but he wasn't looking at the magazines. I followed his gaze to the corner a leggy blonde was standing next to the drinks. She had a red bull in one hand the other was wrapped around a man's neck. Her dress lifted a little as she kissed the brown haired man but not enough to show her goods. She was a thin model type and totally smitten with the brown haired man she kissed. I could see why he was taller than her at least 6'1. He reached his hand up to cup her face and I noticed a flaming skull tattoo on his hand. I laughed for a second then the whole image flashed together. The man is James...my James and he was kissing another woman. My boyfriend of seven months I couldn't believe it! The fucking nerve of this guy. Anger blossomed in my chest, slowly pouring into my limbs in scorching waves. I stormed over to them gripped his arm and pulled. The blonde looked at me surprised that I was interrupting their kiss.
" Well isn't this interesting finding you here. Thought you had work in the city today?"
I asked coldly sending him all the ice daggers I could muster. James looked utterly shocked before he could come up with an excuse I slapped him in the face with all my strength. He fell into the glass door holding his mouth. When he pulled himself up I saw that his lip was bleeding. That image made me happy but I needed more I smiled at him sweetly.
"Eva I-" He stammered.
I threw my hot coffee into his face.
"Bite me." I spat as I turned and stomped out the store. Nick trailed me smirking but said nothing. I was so angry I felt the steam pour out my ears. We rode in silence the rest of the way to Jessie's.
I hugged Nick and thanked him.
"Honey I'm here when ever you need." he whispered in my ear.
I kissed his cheek then left the car. I waved once forcing a smile. I took a deep breath to calm my nerves. Jessie's house was always full of werewolves they can feed on anger like me. Well sort of like me I don't really know what I am and I only know a few of my gifts. I can tap into spirit energies, even with certain people temporarily barrow abilities. Well if our auras mesh well I can. I have even borrowed and merged with ghosts. Weird I know but you work with what you got. I knock and try and smile as the door opens.
"God your back. I feel like your always here. Do you-" Ben stopped talking and looked at me. I slipped past him.
"Where is Jessie?"
He looked at me questions in his eyes." In her room getting dressed. What happened to you?" I didn't know if he meant my scrapes or the anger he felt.
" I was hit by a car yesterday saving a baby. I have to go shopping for her party and on the way here I saw my boyfriend of seven months kissing another woman. So yeah my week is fucked up."
"I knew he was a tosser." he replied shaking his head. His accent thickened a touch. Me and Ben fought a lot but we were close.
" When she's comes down tell her I'm in the work out room." I retreated into the room Adam, Jessie's dad, and Mercy, her step mom, trained in. There were padded floors, hand pads, leg pads, chest pads, and a punching bag.I walked onto the mat took off my shoes no use in twisting my ankle on top of every thing else. Although it would be a great excuse to see that cute doctor. Wait, what I just got cheated on and now I'm ready to look at someone else?! What was happening to me? As I dropped my bag to the ground it made a loud thud. I walked to the punching bag needing to hit something before I hit someone. At first I punched and kicked the bag holding back abit but as my mind started slipping to the image of James kissing that girl. My control kept dropping I hit the bag harder and harder grunting with each blow. I pictured James as the bag I let him have to full brunt of my anger. I felt a surge of energy as I threw the last blow it connected to the bag. One of the bags links broke and the bag flew into the far corner landing with a dull smack. I stood there staring in shock. What the well had I done! I broke Adam's bag he's going to kill me! Damn damn what do I say happened? I ran and tried to lift it.
"Come on. Come on." I groaned trying to left the heavy bag. The massive bag pressed against my battered flesh. I loosened my grip a little so it didn't hurt so much.
There was a chuckle. A deep throaty sound that sent chills down my spine. The type of chill that you got when a lover ran a finger down your bare back. Shivering I turned around pissed that my body was reacting like this to a laugh. Then I realized why it was Samuel the sexy doctor that had done the same thing to me yesterday.
"Do you need a hand Evangeline?" he voice poured out of his lips like chocolate. It wrapped around my body and melted with my skin. I starred at him for a second shocked that he was here. Snap out of it I ordered to myself.
"What are you doing here?!" I blinked at him. He leaned against the door frame one hand jammed into his jean pocket. Amusement in his eyes.
"Adam asked me for a favor. Do you need help with that?"
"I don't know what happened...I think the weight of it just gave out." I said as I ripped my gaze from him and focused on the punching bag at my feet. I felt the heat rise to my face. 'Thank god you can't see my blush. Otherwise Id just die here and now.' I thought relieved that my dark complexion didn't show the red in my cheeks.
"I wonder how that happened." he talked as he walked closer inspecting to spot the bag was hanging from.I knew how it happened but I wasn't good to admit it. I tapped into Ben's power.I hadn't meant to but I was pissed and wasn't paying attention. This was why I didn't date men sucked big time! You invest time energy and your heart and they screw you over.I was getting angry again I tried to push it back as I turned to look at Samuel. He was two feet away and staring at me. He seemed to take up the entire room I knew that wasn't the case. Don't get me wrong the man towered over me but it was his energy all big,strong, and all man. His eyes darkened as they burned into mine. I didn't blink I didn't move I couldn't.
"Are you alright?" His voice tight not as it was before when it was like silk again my skin. What had changed?
I shook my head yes not trusting my voice.
"Eva! That low life piece of shh..." Jessie said rounding the door way and stop as she looked at Samuel. "Oh Samuel what are you doing here?" she asked walking over to us. She leaned in and gave me a hug.
Samuel smiled and it reached his eyes brightening up his face.
" Warren and you dad have some business to take care of so I stepped up to take you shopping. Try not to torture me too much please."
Jessie giggled. " Not making any promises." She turned to me her face turned serious with anger. " So is it true?"
" Is what true?" I was completely confused.
" Ben said he cheated on you!"
Damn Ben and his big mouth I rubbed my temples in frustration. I'm really going to kill his ass!
Cliff hanger! post more tomorrow.
