Chapter 4- Tears
Eva glanced out the ice cream shop window after about thirty minutes of sitting in the shop. It had begun to rain ten minutes after Eva entered the shop and she grew worried about Leah. A frown was set on her face as she watched for Leah on the sidewalk in front of the shop.
"This is quite a problem,"She murmured as she glanced down at her phone hoping for a text from Leah. But alas, there were no new text message waiting for her to read. She sighed before she opened a new text and texted Leah that she was heading back to the Cullen House. She stood up and left a tip on the table before leaving the shop. She quickly headed for the car and unlocked the doors. She slipped into the car and shut the door behind her quickly. She slid the keys into the ignition and started the car up.
She buckled herself up as she turned the radio on to play music softly. She put the car into reverse before putting it into drive and leaving the parking spot. She headed back to the house, this time not in much of a rush. Her heart hurt from the abandonment Leah did today but knew Leah would come to her after she went over her thoughts and feelings. She parked the car in the garage and turned it off. She sat in the car for a good ten minutes before she actually got out of the car. She put the keys back into it's place and headed up to her room.
She gave a wave to the family but otherwise didn't say anything to them as she passed. She opened her door and shut it behind her. She changed into white shorts and a grey tank. She grabbed some slippers from her closet as well before she sat on her bed and braided her hair quietly.
She turned on her radio as she braided her hair. She gave no response to the knock on her door after a few minutes. She heard the door open but didn't look over to see who came into her room. The bed lowered from the person's weight and soon warm arms wrapped around her shoulders. She recognized the scent of her cousin, Jake. She rested her head in the crook of his neck as she let everything sink in.
"I'm sorry, Eva. I didn't mean for this to happen."He murmured into her ear. She shook her head not blaming him for her mistakes.
"I don't blame you Jake for anything. It was my fault this happened. Don't worry about it." She replied quietly as her hands fisted into his shirt. Tears watered up in her eyes and sliently fell down her soft cheeks. Another chance at love had flew out the window once again, and it was her fault yet again. It was always her fault. She knew there was nothing to be done for this relationship with Leah. Leah wasn't going to let her in and it hurt. It really hurt knowing that.
