-Chapter 2-

-Eve's POV-

I loved Shirley, but what did she know? Not enough about me. I was nervous to even just watch Erica. I slipped into shorts, converse, and a crop shirt, while tieng my curled hair back. I put my purse over my shoulder, and walked out the door, heading to Erica's house. Pulling into the driveway, I saw them in the house, Randy hugging Erica. I slowly got out of the car, not taking my eyes off them. I had wished for a family. I shut my door, slipping my keys into my purse, and knocking on the door. Randy approached the door, opening it.

"Eve, come in." He smiled. I smiled back, planting myself onto the couch.

"I'll be home at about nine-thirty? If you need anything, my number is in the kitchen." I nodded, and just smiled. He awkwardly nodded, while exiting, shutting the door behind him.

"So, what do you wanna do Erica?" She plopped onto the couch, next to me.

"We could watch a movie!" A large smile appeared on her face.

"Sure what do you wanna watch?" She slid onto the floor, in front of the television, pulling open a drawyer. She pulled out a case, showing it to me.

"Harry Potter?" I giggled a little.

"Sure, little secret, I love Harry Potter." She smiled, while inserting the DVD, and playing the movie. After sitting through the movie for two and a half hours, and making Erica dinner, Randy finally got back home. My phone vibrated in my back pocket, and i pulled it out. Noone had known about my boyfriend Mike. I listened to Shirley a few months back and dated Mike. He wasn't the best... He got really mean, yelled a lot, made fun of me, but I was scared to break up with him.

"Who's that?" Randy asked setting his jacket down.

"Oh, it's just my boyfriend.. Mike! Yeah..."

"Oh Mike? o.o" He seemed a little weirded out.

"Yeah." I shivered a little, and got nervous. "Well, I'm gonna go see him I guess. I'll talk to you guys Sunday." I walked out, and drove over to Mike's. Leaving all my stuff in the car, I went and knocked on the door. He opened the door pulling me in, and quickly shutting the door.

"What's the rush for?" I asked, while I was pinned onto the wall. His lips quickly met mine, as I pushed away.

"Really?"

"Mike stop it. You're drunk again."

"Shut up!" I got a little scared, but I needed to end this.

"Mike!I-"He got closer to me, and threw a punch to my cheek, as I fell to the floor. He began hitting me and kicking me, pissed off.

"You dumb whore!" Arms grabbed Mike pulling him back, exposing the face of his brother Alex.

"Mike stop it!" He threw him onto the couch, pinning him down. Mike pulled out of his grip, leaving the room. Alex knelt down in front of me, laying his hand on my arm.

"Are you alright Eve?"

"I'm, uh... fine. I'm gonna go now." I rose to my feet, and Alex followed.

"I'm sorry Eve. That was like so quick and instant, but it shouldn't have happened. Sorry." I shook my head, and ran out the door.
