Chapter 9
Evie's POV
"Where is she? I thought we were leaving?" Avery wines. "We are but Collin is going to give us a ride back." I say motioning to Collin. Avery looks him up and down. "Who are you?" He asks him. "I'm Collin. Evie's friend and your ride. Whenever your ready Evie." He says cockily. "Alright man lets go Eve I wanna change. You can only expect me to wear dress clothes for so long before I become allergic to them." He says. "Allergic? To clothes?" I ask. "It's a guy thing. Isn't that right Collin?" He says. "Totally man I got my spare clothes in the truck." Collin says smiling at Avery then they fist bump. "Well if you to are done with your little bromance I'm ready to go." I say slightly annoyed. "Chill sis! Collin seems cool I need a dude to hang out with every once in a while. If I have to listen to how hot John Carter is one more time I just might inflict bodily harm." Avery says. "John Carter? As in the fictional charecter?" Collin asks laughing. "John Carter may be fictional but the guy the plays him is definitely not fictional." I say and Collin immediately stops laughing. "Lets go!" Avery says already walking outside. "Okay." Collin says obviously upset. "Are you okay?" I ask him. "Yeah of course I am why wouldn't I be." He says not looking at me already storming off after Avery. "Well at least your not bitter." I mumble after him. As we climb in to his old ford pickup truck I climb in the middle with Collin and Avery on either side of me. The ride isn't long but it's completely silent besides Avery giving Collin directions ever so often. "You know we only live a few hours from the Rez you could come visit whenever you want it would be a nice change of pace for me you know." Avery says. "Yeah man I'm off work every Thursday how about on Thursdays I come and hangout with you?" Collin says. "Really you would do that for me" Avery asks. "Of course you seem like a cool dude. I'm sure we can find something to do." Collin says. "Thanks Collin that sounds awesome." Avery says. And with that we pull up to our hotel room. "You go on in Ave I'll be right up." I say. "Okay. Goodnight Collin ill see you Thursday." He says. "Goodnight Avery! See you then." Collin says. I watch my younger brother walk up to the room and as soon as he goes in I turn to Collin. "Why would you tell my 12 year old brother that you would come see him every Thursday?" I ask him angrily. "Because I meant it." Collin says. "You and I both know your not gonna do that." I say upset. "Look I know you don't know me very well but I mean what I say. If I tell someone I'll be there on Thursday that's what I mean." He says. "Look Avery has been through alot. We are both tired of people making promises that they'll never keep." I say turning to storm off but he heaps my hand. "Evie I like you. And I like Avery. I won't be like everyone else. Nothing could keep me away from seeing you both on Thursday." He says locking his burning eyes with mine. "You don't even know where we live." I say looking into his eyes. "I'll find it. You just tell me what time to be there." He says smiling. "Can you be there at four?" I say before I know what I'm doing. "Of course." He says looking as if he just won something. "If you brake this promise you lose my trust and once you lose my trust there is no getting it back." I warn him shoving my finger in his face. "I will not do anything to lose your trust. Ever." He says with such passion my heart skips a beat. "I'll see you Thursday." He says kissing my four head and I quickly run up to my room. Ado stand there behind the door I feel something I haven't felt in years...happy.
