*Mal's POV*
I heard my phone go off and I looked down at it and saw that Evie was ringing me again. I suddenly felt brave and took a deep breath as I answered the phone.
"Mal?" I heard Evie say surprised down the phone. I think she had been trying to get me to answer her all day and by pure luck she caught me in a moment of madness.
"Mal" she repeated when I didn't answer. I knew that I had to answer her otherwise it would only make her worry even more.
"Evie" I said as my voice croaked.
"Where is she?" I heard a voice say in the background that I could have sworn was Jay.
"I'm still not going to tell you" I answered before she could ask me.
"Why Mal?" I questioned.
"Come on; whatever has happened we can get through this" she added.
"Maybe" I muttered.
"We all miss you so much" Evie said sadly.
"I miss you all too" I replied as tears started to form in my eyes. I heard a train go past the hotel and I hoped that it wasn't loud enough for Evie to hear.
"What was that noise?" I heard her ask as I sighed.
"Nothing" I quickly said.
"Mal" Evie said sternly.
"I am not saying anything because you will come looking for me and I don't want to be found" I said as I started to panic.
"I want to stay where I am" I added as my voice broke.
"I know I'm being selfish" I said as I started to cry.
"I know I am hurting you all" I continued.
"I am really sorry about that but I can't help the way I feel" I finished as my voice broke again and I started to sob.
"Mal" Evie said reassuringly.
"Just let us be there for you" she said.
"You know no one is going to judge you" she added.
"How can you know that?" I asked panic stricken. Of course people were going to judge me; I was pregnant at the age of eighteen with the King of Auradon's baby!
"Mal what's happened?" Evie asked.
"I don't want to go too much into it at the moment" I advised.
"But I thought I better answer so you know that I am ok" I added.
"It's nice to hear your voice" I said as I wiped my eyes free from tears as I tried to calm myself down.
"Same" Evie agreed.
"Just let me know you are safe" she begged.
"I am" I confirmed.
"I'm safe" I added.
"When are you going to come home?" she dared to ask.
"I-" I started but stopped when a lump started to form in my throat.
"I don't know" I said after taking a deep breath.
"I want to but I don't know" I added as I started to fidget with my nails.
"What do you mean?" Evie asked slowly.
"I don't know whether I can" I dared to admitted.
"Things have happened and I've been away a while" I stated as I looked down.
"But that doesn't change anything Mal" Evie disagreed.
"It does" I pressed.
"Evie I miss you all so much" I said as I broke down again.
"Let us know where you are and we will bring you home" Evie suggested.
"No" I said bluntly.
"I'm not ready" I advised.
"When will you be ready?" Evie wondered.
"I don't know" I admitted.
"Soon" I added.
"Maybe" I muttered.
"I need to go" I said bluntly as I knew if I stayed on the phone to Evie any longer I know she would get information out of me.
"I don't know whether I should have answered the phone" I admitted as I started to look out of the window.
"Why?" Evie asked.
"I'm-" I said but stopped myself.
"I'm going to go" I amended.
"Bye" I said.
"Mal don't ha-" I heard Evie say but it was too late I had already hung up. I quickly pulled my knees to my chest and started to rock backwards and forwards before I started to sob. I thought there was a chance that when I spoke to Evie I was going to feel better - however I felt worse. For everything I was putting them through; I let myself roll over and I pulled the blanket over me and I let myself sob. I wanted to go back home but due to my current irrational thinking I was preventing myself from going back. I knew one thing though; I had to make a decision and soon as time wasn't on my side.
