EVIE'S POV:
I was aware that I'd left the school grounds and before I knew it, I'd arrived back at the farmhouse. Shaking my head, trying to rid myself of those thoughts of Josh and Maddy, I made my way inside and into the kitchen…
"What are you doing home?" Hannah asked as I opened the fridge
"Need some time away from everyone" I informed her
"What's happened?" she questioned, raising an eyebrow at me as I turned to face her
"Josh kissed Maddy. Well, actually, she kissed him" I admitted "but he's only just told me about it when it happened the night of Sasha's party"
"That happened when you were sick, right?" she inquired
I nodded my head, signalling yes… "That's one of the things I love about him, that he's always honest with me, but now…"
"Don't say that, Evie" she begged "come and sit down…"
I did as Hannah said and we moved to the sofas, sitting down next to each other…
"I know what Josh did was wrong, but he loves you, you can't doubt that" she began "and the way you've been since you've been with him, it makes me happy knowing you're happy, and it puts my mind at rest knowing you're okay. He didn't tell you because he didn't want to hurt you, so you need to take that into consideration and talk to Maddy about what happened"
"You're right, but not yet" I replied "right now I want to rip her head off"
"Understandable" she chuckled "how about I make us some lunch and then take you back to school?"
I nodded my head, signalling yes…
JOSH'S POV:
Once Evie had walked away from me, I didn't know what to do…
"You okay there?" I heard Maddy's voice ask as I walked into her
"Yeah, fine" I replied, quickly picking my books up
"Where's Evie?" she inquired
I shrugged my shoulders… "She knows"
"She what?!" she questioned, raising an eyebrow at me
"She knows. I told her" I informed her
"She's going to kill me" she sighed, tipping her head back in frustration "why did you tell her?"
"I don't want to know why Josh told me. What I want to know is would you have ever told me if he hadn't?" Evie's voice inquired, making us both turn
"Evie…" I whispered
"So, would you?" Evie asked, raising an eyebrow at Maddy
"No, because it was a stupid mistake" she informed her "I was drunk and Josh was just being a gentleman making sure I got home okay. I took advantage of that because 1, I was drunk, and 2, because I'm still jealous of the fact that you two are together now. It's all on me, so you shouldn't blame Josh"
"I don't, not anymore" Evie admitted, smiling warmly at me as I glanced at her
"You don't?" I inquired
She shook her head, signalling no… "Shall we get to lesson?"
"Yeah" I replied, making my way over to her, wrapping my arm around her shoulder
So Hannah's words made Evie think about her and Josh, and she took the mature approach and spoke to Maddy directly, and Maddy did the right thing and told her it was all on her and that Josh wasn't to blame. How will Josh and Evie's date go, and will things be awkward with the enterprise scheme? What next, I wonder?
