Hello everybody! I wanted to get this story finished before the week ended because this week was "Princess and the Frog" week over at the DisneyBound Facebook Group and since I was writing this story, I thought it was appropriate that I'd finish it.
I'm quite happy with how it ended up so I hope you appreciate how I ended it.
Like always, only my OCs (Scarlett and Cameron) and the story belong to me. Everything else belongs to Disney Channel. Except the song. That belongs to Carrie Underwood.
Chapter 3: He'll Break Your Heart; It's Just a Matter of Time
A few days later, Evie was walking back from a long day of classes when she found Scarlett at her dorm door, with a tear filled face and a red nose. She appeared to have been crying. Evie carefully approached the blonde, assuming why she was at her door and crying.
"Do you want to come inside?" Evie figured it was better if they could converse in the privacy in her dorm. Scarlett just nodded and Evie placed a comforting arm around her. Even when she had a long day, she always had time to comfort others.
Once inside, she let the other girl sit at the edge of her bed while she brought up her desk chair to face her. The bluenette offered her a tissue, in which she took and wiped her eyes and blew her nose. Evie waited a few minutes until Scarlett calmed down a little before speaking up.
However, the blonde girl had opened up her mouth first to speak. "You were right," she said in between sniffles. "He just liked me because I was pretty and smart. He never intended to hang out! Stupid, stupid Chad stupid Charming." She had muttered the last bit.
Evie had to bite her lip to avoid saying "I told you so." Instead, she listen to the blonde go on and on about what had happened, how stupid Chad Charming was, and how stupid she felt for falling for him in the first place. She continued to berate herself and that was when Evie decided to draw the line and step in.
"Scarlett, I wasn't lying when I told in not one but two letters about how you should stay away from him. I admit that I probably sounded a little harsh in both but that's beside the point. I even wanted to say 'I told you so' only a few minutes ago but I restrained because I noticed how you not only felt upset at the situation but you also felt anger at yourself for wanting to be with someone as idiotic and self absorbed as Chad. It is brave of you to feel angry but it's unhealthy to keep letting yourself feel down." She had stood up and started pacing in front of the blonde at this point.
"I realized I could do so much better than him when Audrey announced that he was her boyfriend after Ben had declared his love for Mal. At first, I felt upset at myself but then Mal had told me how she felt sorry for Audrey. She had shared all of my best qualities like my talents and my beauty tips and that I don't need a prince to make me feel better about myself. After that, I felt better, pushing myself into my studies and my business. It wasn't easy but I got over it. I even became friends with Doug. It's funny how I, the daughter of the Evil Queen, ended up with the son of Dopey. I guess life is like that sometimes." She shook her head at the memories. "I'm just saying that you could do so much better."
Scarlett had taken a minute to let Evie's words sink in. Before she had shown up at Evie's door, she had witnessed Chad embracing Audrey in a romantic manner. She tried not to let it get to her until she saw the two kissing. She turned around and ran before she could think of anything else.
"I really thought he liked me, but he didn't." She let out a weep and started to cry again. Evie sat down next to her and rubbed her back. She muttered angry things about Chad and whispered words of reassurance to the blonde, even adding a few angry words about the blond prince herself.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Evie glanced at Scarlett before standing up to answer the door. It was Cameron. The red-head seemed nervous.
"Good evening, Evie. I saw Scarlett running here a few minutes ago and I was wondering if you'd seen her." Evie smiled at the boy.
"Yes, she's in here." She pointed inside, where the blonde was sitting with a few tears streaming down her face. "She needed some girl talk." Cameron's face fell a bit.
"Oh. I was just wondering if she'd like to get some ice cream with me." Evie lifted an eyebrow.
"Ice cream? Before dinner?"
"Yeah. I heard it makes girls feel better." Evie was about to respond when Scarlett had made her way to the door.
"I'd love to get some ice cream with you," she told Cameron. "Thanks for the chat, Evie. I really needed it. I could use some ice cream at this point."
Cameron had offered her his arm, in which she took. She waved goodbye at the bluenette while walking down the hall with the boy.
Evie smiled as she watched the couple walk away with their arms looped together. She heard her phone ring, she headed back inside to pick it up. She smiled to herself when she read the name. She hit the 'talk' button and placed the phone next to her ear.
"Hey Doug. What's up?"
The next day was a relaxing day. There were no classes, no homework to be done, and no responsibilities. Evie needed a breather. She was sitting in the cafeteria listening to Jay, Carlos, and Lonnie's next Swords and Shields game. Mal sat across from her, working on a new sketch of Dude. Jane was away, helping plan the next main event. Doug was quietly eating his lunch and reading a book. Evie smiled at how far everyone has come this past year. She smiled even bigger when she heard a 'slap' echo through the cafeteria. She turned her head to see Scarlett walk away from Chad, who was rubbing his cheek, with her hand in Cameron's. Yes, all was right in Auradon now.
