EVIE'S POV:
Later that evening after dinner, I made my way into my bedroom and dialled Josh's number, leaning against my bedroom door as I waited for him to answer…
"Hi, this is Josh, leave a message."
I sighed and hung up the phone, throwing it onto my bed as I got his voicemail. Making my way out of my room once again, I decided to shower…
JOSH'S POV:
"Fuck!" I proclaimed, throwing my phone to the ground as I picked up my phone, seeing I had a missed call from Evie
Bending down after I'd calmed, I picked up my phone and unlocked my keypad and dialled Evie's number, willing her to pick up…
EVIE'S POV:
I walked into my bedroom after my shower and saw my phone was flashing. Picking it up, I saw I had a missed call from Josh. Smiling weakly, I sat down on my bed and dialled his number…
"Hey…" his voice greeted me three rings later
"Hey," I mirrored "it's good to hear your voice."
"It's good to hear yours too." he informed me "Evie, why didn't you say goodbye?"
"I couldn't, and I knew you'd try and get me to stay and I can't be there." I admitted
"I wouldn't have tried to make you stay." he informed me "I would've supported your decision."
"Really?" I questioned
"Okay, no." he replied "But I would've come around to it. I know how scared you are."
"You really don't, Josh." I admitted "I'm terrified of my own shadow. I don't suppose anything has changed, has it?"
"What do you mean? Maddy wise?" he questioned "If so I'm afraid not."
"Does she think we're stupid?" I inquired, sighing heavily "We know it was her!"
"I don't know." he informed me "I just know that I miss you."
"I miss you too." I replied
"I was hoping you'd say that, because I was thinking I could come and see you this weekend?" he suggested "What do you say?"
"I'd like that…" I informed him
"Good," he replied "so I'll see you then? And I'll speak to you soon?"
"Yes and yes." I admitted "Bye."
JOSH'S POV:
I made my way to Maddy's dorm room after my phone call with Evie, exhaling a breath I didn't know I'd been holding as I knocked on her door and waited for an answer…
"If you've come to have another go, save it…" she sighed
"I haven't." I informed her "I came here to tell you that Evie has broken up with me."
"What? Why?" she questioned
"She's scared, and can't trust anyone." I admitted "I hate it but I get it, does that make sense?"
"Yeah." she replied "Do you want to come in? We can talk and have a drink?"
"I'd rather go to a club…" I informed her "What do you say?"
"You, in a club?" she inquired "Are you sure?"
"I just want to let my hair down and forget any of this ever happened." I admitted "Truth is, I miss you, and I wanna give us another shot, if you're willing, that is."
"Are you sure you're not drunk right now?" she questioned "Because a few hours ago you were having a go at me and saying I should hand myself into the police, and now you're saying that you want to give me and you another go. You hear how crazy it sounds, don't you?"
"I know it sounds crazy, but I still love you." I informed her "Even after everything, so what do you say?"
"Okay." she replied
Smiling at her warmly, I moved closer to her and cupped her cheek, pushing some hair from her face as I did so, watching as her eyes closed of their own accord. Keeping mine open, I swallowed a lump in my throat and prayed Evie would forgive me when she found out about what was about to happen and what was happening. For now, Maddy and I were back together…
Ugh, I know, I'm sorry. Do you think Josh will be able to get the truth out of Maddy?
