Chapter 88
Evelyn and Trevor pulled away and looked to see who was talking. It was Christina.
She laughed. "Yes, I should have seen that one coming. I should have seen where you two would get together. Or more so where Trevor would make the move on you, Evelyn," She said.
"Christina," Trevor said. "I was really hoping you weren't coming."
"Why? So, I didn't see my ex-boyfriend making his move on one of my best friends who lost her boyfriend in a car accident just two months ago?"
"No, because you hadn't made an appearance yet. Normally, you are here at the beginning of the party."
"Well, I'm here now. And I guess this is why you and I haven't talked a whole lot in the last few weeks, Evie," Christina said.
"Yes," Evelyn replied. "Yes, because Trevor and I both needed each other because his best friend and my boyfriend died in a car accident. And you are the one who basically cheated on him or at least dumped him."
"Actually, it was mutually between us."
"Only because I wanted to focus on wrestling. You saw it as an opportunity to weasel your way out of letting me know anything."
"Whatever," Christina said. "You two can have each other. I don't care. No loss for our friendship actually, Evie. But I do have one thing to say."
"What?" Evelyn asked.
"I never pegged you for a slut."
"Excuse me?"
"I never pegged you for a slut," Christina said again. "But I guess I was wrong considering your dad is a man slut for cheating on his fiancée many years ago."
"I'm not a slut, Christi!" Evelyn exclaimed. "A slut sleeps around. That would be you!"
"Bitch!"
Christina went to hit Evelyn, but Evelyn was quick to move out of the way. Christina ended up following face first to the ground, but she caught herself.
"Don't ever try hitting me, Christina!" Evelyn exclaimed. "I know how to wrestle myself. And I know how to quickly dodge people coming at me."
Trevor chuckled.
When Evelyn got home at 2 am, she found both her parents awake, waiting for her.
"Hi," Evelyn said, walking into the living room.
"Hi, sweetheart," Mercedes said.
"How was the party?" Colby asked.
"Great and interesting."
"Interesting?"
"Yes," Evelyn said, sitting on the sofa with them.
"What was interesting about it?" Mercedes asked.
"Well, I told Trevor that I have feelings for him and he told me he has feelings for me too. Plus, Christina showed up and nearly hit me."
"Oh, good with Trevor," Colby said. "And I knew you had feelings for him."
"Yes, Dad. Trevor told me he talked to you. And thank you."
Evelyn moved from sitting on the sofa next to her and over to the other side of her dad, hugging him.
"You're welcome, baby doll," Colby replied, holding her tightly.
"Why did Christina nearly hit you, though, Evie?" Mercedes asked.
"Oh," Evelyn said, pulling out of her dad's embrace. "Because I called her slut. But she called me one first and I said something back in my defense."
"Yes, I've been called a slut many times!"
Evelyn didn't say anything. She knew her mom had been called a slut countless times by people because of her rape.
Six days later, it was January 7, and Trevor had had his first official day back to training in the ring since the car accident. And it was like he had never missed a step. He kicked ass.
"It was great, babe!" Trevor exclaimed as he talked to her on the phone. He had returned to Orlando two days prior.
"Yeah," Evelyn said. "Dad showed me the video Uncle Fergal sent of you. You looked great."
"Thanks. I'm going to make Andy proud. This was his and my dream together and I am going to make it come true for the both of us. There is no stopping Trevor Roberts!"
"Woo!"
Trevor laughed.
Evelyn did a long-distance relationship with Trevor as she had Andy. The two were able to talk on the phone every day. Even if just for a couple minutes. But she kept doing her school work to finish off her senior year of high school. And Trevor kept doing his thing with training and everything.
Evelyn did her college applications and everything she needed to do for applying to colleges. She was very nervous. She still really wanted to get into UCF in Orlando.
In mid-April, Evelyn decided to check the online status of her college applications. She knew they should say by now whether was accepted into the colleges or not.
"MOM!" Evelyn screamed.
"What?!" Mercedes said, coming from her bedroom and into her daughter's room.
"I GOT IN!" Evelyn exclaimed.
"In where?"
"I got into UCF!"
Mercedes went over to the computer. Evelyn pointed at the screen. Right next to the "Status of Application" on the screen said: Accepted.
"Yay," Mercedes said. "Congratulations!"
Evelyn grinned. She gave her mom a big hug.
