He went up to her and grabbed her by the shoulder.
''But...you can't!''
''Yes i can Rick! and i'm going to!'' Evelyn snapped back. She decided that later she would tell Danny that she was going to leave and say her goodbyes.
He stood there. His heart was beating at at least 100 pumps a minute. He was sad, upset, angry and despaired. He had never met anyone like her and now she was leaving, partly due to his mistake.
Evelyn slammed the door behind her, tears flowing down her cheeks and dispersing onto the floor. How could she live without him? She thought...but it was something she had to do. She caught him with another woman!
She had finished packing and decided to give her goodbyes to Danny. She found him cleaning his car, like he was the other day. Strange she thought.
''Evelyn! What a suprise to see you again! A lovely one at that'' He rushed over to her and kissed her on the cheek. Bit up front, Evelyn thought.
She smiled sweetly at him, her dried up tears glistining in the sun.
''Danny, it was so nice to meet you and to catch up but i'm afraid i've decided to move to England. It's where my parent's lived and i'd prefer to live there. I think i could say the heat is getting to me''
''But...no! Evie? We've just only caught up! I thought...i...''
''You thought there was a chance of us getting together right? Well, they're isn't. I'd rather live on my own then live with any man! Goodbye Danny'' She smiled her familar smile once again and left causing a tension between the two former high school students.
He glared at her. Little did Evelyn know, that Danny would be seeing her soon. Very soon infact.
-------
When she returned to the apartment, Rick and Johnathon were standing at the door, looking at her sympathetically.
''Excuse me'' She said, and pushed past Rick on purpose.
''Evelyn, are you really sure you want to go? I suppose it means me coming with?'' Asked Johnathon
''That's completley up to you Johnathon, i would rather some company though''
''Well luckly i've got my stuff packed old mum'' Johnathon said. In fact he had, since he knew Evelyn wanted him to come.
''Good, the ship goes at 5pm tonight. Please be ready Johnathon, and don't get yourself drunk''
''I'll try not to!'' Johnathon called up the stairs since Evelyn was going up them.
Rick felt like a spare part. He was being left alone, all on his own. He wanted to go with Evelyn, but knew she wouldn't allow it. He caught her before she entered her bedroom.
''Evie...''
''Not now Rick!'' She said and slammed the door in his face...
-------
''Home at last'' Evelyn said, and placed her bags onto the rug situated in the front room. The place was a mansion, it was left behind by Evelyn's and Johnathon's late parents.
''Yes indeed. Are you sure this is what you want Evie?''
''It's not what i want Johnathon no, but it's all i can resolve to at the moment''
Johnathon let out a hefty sigh, knowing that his sister was too stuborn to change her mind. It was 1am in the morning already, so Evelyn decided to get some sleep.
In the night, a myseterious phone call was heard. Johnathon picked it up and heard some loud breaths. Behind it, there seemed to be many people talking in the backround. Odd, thought Johnathon. He soon hanged up and went back to the land of nod.
The next morning...
''Good morning Jon'' Evelyn awoke her brother by poking him a few times in the side.
''Er? Wha? Oh...'' Johnathon starred blurry eyed at his sister then remembered where he was.
''For a minute there i thought...''
''I don't want to know!'' Evelyn called out, she had left the room. A call was heard and since Johnathon was the nearest he picked it up and heard Rick's voice on the other end.
''Hello old chap, how are you doing?''
''I could do better''
''Oh, that reminds me, did you ring up last night at around 3am?''
''No, i was shattered and went to bed''
''Strange then, anyway, what did you want to know?''
''Just if you arrived okay...and i wondered how Evelyn is doing''
''She's doing great...at least i think so. Well i don't know anymore O'connell. With all this business, i think it's really gotten to her''
''I know, i know and i'm sorry for what i've done''
''Seems Evie's too stubborn to forgive quickly''
''I need to talk to her. Sort out why she doesn't want to get married, there's something going on there''
''At the moment she's in the shower. Call tonight when she's a little cooled down. I'm sure working in the libary will soothe her. Don't worry, she'll soon come around. Think of all the arguements i've had with her and we've made up. At least i think so haha''
''All right, I'll call tonight to see how she's getting on, best go, my regards Johnathon. Bye''
''Goodbye O'connell'' Johnathon said and hanged up.
This is the life, he thought to himself as he covered himself up with his duvet and soon returned to bed. Evelyn came into his room to see him asleep, so left him a note telling him she was off to the libary. She had fixed up a job for herself there, just the usual, cataloging books.
No one was around when she entered, so she went on in to find a note.
''You're gonna pay for living in England. Your wishes, X''
Her heart stopped for a second. Could this be Rick? Surely he wouldn't be so violent as in attempt to scare her in her own work place. The museum seemed eerie, the fact that no one was around... She tried to escape quickly, but something caught her ankle and she tripped up, knocking herself unconscious on the cold and hard floor...
