CHAPTER NINE
-Ever's P.O.V.-
Stupid annoying party. Jack was right.I had to make my family see that I'm happy with myself. When practise was over Jack, Eddie, Jerry and Milton went to their houses so they could change their clothes, Jason Kim and I went to mine and Jason's house to do the same thing.I took a shower and after 15 minutes I had dried my self and my hair.
What's the better way to show them that I'm fine with my self? Yup my tattos. I wore a black tight dress that hugged my body perfectly.I tied my hair half up, half down so that the little "D" would be revealed. No bracelets so my only accessories on my hands are my tattos.I also wore a red belt because I thought that the dress was too simple and my red heels, which revealed an other of my tattos that was placed on my ankle.
This tatto was a simple one meaningless like the fairy on my shoulder.I just found it beautiful. It's a small rose on the inside of my left ankle. Just then Kim walked in my room wearing a blue dress that reached her knees. She was wearing some silver high sandals and had her hair loose on her shoulders."Hey you look beautiful"she said and sat on my bed waiting for me to get ready. "Thanks,so do you"I said and forced a smile.I applied some make up nothing too much...just mascara and eyeliner.
"I'm ready"I said."Great...hey can I ask you something?"Kim said being serious in a matter of seconds."Sure"I said and followed her on my bed."Are you okay?"she asked concernced."Yeah"I said trying to make it sound real."Αre you sure?"she asked again."Yeah...Jack talked to me."I said but stopped immediately because I don't think Jack has told to the guys anything.
"Do you and Jack..."Kim started."Me and Jack what?"I asked not knowing where this conversation was going."Are you two dating or something?"Kim asked finally."What?!No!"I said getting up from the bed."Okay calm down"Kim said."Why would you even think that?"I asked. Is it that obvious that I have a major crush on him?Hope not!
"You two were hiding something when I asked you the other day...and you spend a lot of time together...so..."Kim explained."Oh...no...we are JUST friends"I said and flashed her a smile.
But you want to be something more of a friend!
Just shut up and leave!I have this annoying party...I don't need you too!
okay don't get mad!
The bell rang and Kim ran downstairs to open the door.Ι waited for a while and then went downstairs too.Οkay family was all over the place and I saw Kim opening the door to let an extremely handsome Jack pass it. He was fully dressed in black(a/n:like Kickin'it on our own)and I simply couldn't take my eyes off him.
I had to though.I had to start saying "Hi" and "Thanks" and "I'm fine really" to every family member I could. Kim had invited aunt Carol too.GREAT!
"Hi aunt Carol!I haven't see you in a long time"I said a shot her with one of my fake smiles."Yes you haven' did you do to your body again?"she asked with that awful voice of hers."I don't understand"I said."Did you do more of those tattoos on you?Apparently you did but what do you expect from a crazy person"she said."Excuse me?Did you just called me insane?"I asked her in disbelief."Yes. You should realise what you are now"she said"My daughter-your cousin-is a sane person"she added. That's when my cousin Michelle talked."You should talk with less venom mother"she said and drugged me away from her led the way towards Kim and Jack."Happy birthday"he said smiling."You're doing in this on purpose aren't you?"I said annoyed.
"This whole party thing is stupid,can I go to my room?"I asked Kim whining."No"she said firmly."Where are the guys?"I asked Jack."Oh their coming"he said."Okay I have a question for all of you. Can my life get any worser?"I asked before I walked in the kitchen. They all followed me."I'm sorry for my mother"Michelle said"You shouldn't be apologising,but since your mother isn't going to apologise her self I'm going to accept this apology"I said and hugged her.
The bell rang again and Kim ran to the door to open it. Jack came and sat next to me."Quick question. Did Kim asked you about the other day?"he asked."Yup"I said and looked at him."Oh. She asked me too"he said.I wanted to ask him what did Kim asked him but Jerry, Eddie and Milton with Kim behind them walked inside."Wow,sitting in the kitchen...that bad?"Jerry asked."Yup...and it's only the begging"I said."Hi, I'm Jerry"he said introducing himself to my cousin Michelle"Hi"she said"I'm Michelle. Kim's and Ever's cousin"she said.
"Hey Ev, come dad wants to talk to you"Jason came in the kitchen."Great"I said and got up to follow him.I found dad. He was talking to aunt Carol. Oh no!That smells like trouble."You wanted to talk to me?"I said as I came closer to them."Yes...you aunt told me that you talked to her really disrespectfully and I want you to apologise to her"my dad said.
My mouth flung open. Is she serious? "I talked to her disrespectfully? Not the other way around?"I asked."Yes"she said."I'm not apologising for anything because I didn't do anything"I said."Are you calling me a liar?"she asked."Well since I'm insane and you are sane...I thought you could make your own conclusions"I said."Ever...Carol is your aunt you should talk to her with more respect"My father said."She doesn't deserve respect"I said.
I just turned around and left."Where are you going?"Jason asked me."To the roof"I said."No don't jump"he said."Are you nuts?"I asked before I walked upstairs and into the roof. I just sat there...alone...If my mum was here she wouldn't believe my aunt...not even for a single second...but she is not...she'll never be. Oh god...I started crying again...something tells me that this party is going to get worser...a lot worser.
"You okay?"Jack asked when he sat next to me."No"I said."Well...you said the truth this time"he said."What's the point of lying to you if you find out every single time?"I asked."I guess you're right"he said."What happened?"he asked."I miss her...that's all"I said while looking at the sky."She is not going to come back if you cry"he said while he wiped my tears."I know...but it doesn't get any easier"I said."Five years now and...nothing...no progress"I said."I'm going to be honest with you...it wont get any easier...you just have to fight it every day"he said seriously.
"How do you know?"I asked. He always talks to me like he knows what I'm going through. It took him a while to answer but eventually he did."I lost my brother in a car accident six years ago"he said while looking at his feet."I'm sorry"I said."I know it's the most stupid thing that you need to hear right now...but I am"I said seriously."I believe you"he said."Now...I want you to put your beautiful smile on and come with me downstairs...have fun as much as you can"he said and smile found it's way to his lips.I smiled too and followed him. Before we went to find they guys Jack stopped me."Can you not tell to anybody about my brother...I have only told it to Jerry and..."he said."Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me"
We walked downstairs and found the guys and we all started talking, but only one thing was in my head.
He thinks my smile is beautiful...
I kept repeating it inside my head and gladly the rest of the night passed quickly."Hey,Ev I'm sleeping here"Kim said,well more of commanded but..."Okay"I said and gave her a smile a real one. The guys left and me and Kim walked upstairs in my room. We changed into our pj's and we just sat on my bed talking."See it wasn't that bad was it?"Kim said."No it wasn't, but if you ever invite aunt Carol again,I'm going to kill you"I said."Okay promise,I won't"
"Can I ask you something?"Kim said with her serious look once more."Okay?"I said."You're saying that you and Jack are just friends and I believe you."she said.I was about to say something but she stopped me by continuing speaking."I don't say that you two are dating or something like that...but you like him Ev"she said.I just looked down my feet."It's not a bad thing"she added when she saw my reaction...which was staring at my feet.
Finally after some minutes I looked up at her and said"You're right.I do like him...but that doesn't mean anything". "Is it because of that Chase guy you used to date?"she asked."Sort of"I said knowing she would want some explanations that I had to give.I owned her that...
