Eve's POV
"What do you mean Alex?"
"I can't say . The majic is in the mystery , and without the mystery, there's no majic." I leaned over to hug him .
"Thank you Alex. Your right."
"Eve!" A voice from below his balcony yelled. I stood up and looked over. Mike stood there , with a rose.
"Oh no..." I ran into Alex's room. I layed on his bed , and faced the wall , and cried & cried.
Alex's POV
"Mike what are you doing here?"
"Alex, I'm in love with Eve , and I want her back."
"Well guess what I've been in love with Eve since she came back this year. And I just got her. I had to watch my best friend date her for 8 months!"
Eve's POV Did I just hear Alex right? Since the day I came back. And that whole time I was with Mike , he was in love with me and I couldn't even see it. That explains the looks he gave me and Mike when we would walk down the hall together. Or when he asked me out , and I didn't even know who he was at first. This whole time , my true love was in the same person as my best friend. As he was out on the balcony yelling at Mike , I went through his stuff. I found pictures of me and him , pictures of me. I found crumbled pieces of paper saying stuff like
"That should be me. It's unfair , the girl I've loved this whole year, comes back ,and she's in love with the wrong guy. And she doesn't see it."
"Eve Torres forever&always3 . I wish she would only see it."
" I will always be in love with Eve Torres."
My poor Alex . And for months we hated each other and didn't talk. I was heartbroken. I took the piece of paper that said "I will always be in love with Eve Torres." and put it in my purse. I layed back on the bed . And cried . I fell asleep after so long.
Alex's POV
" I don't care what you do Mike , she will never be yours again ." I was finally fed up. I walked into the house. And shut the doors. I looked down and Eve sleeping . I layed down beside her and hugged her.
"I'll always be right next to you." I wish Eve could know how much I loved her. It would make everything a lot easier. My door flew open, and was slammed shut.
"Alex , get away from her now." Mike stood next to my bed. I stayed there with Eve . She had woken up from the slamming door. He grabbed my arm and yanked me off the bed. I flew and hit my head on the wall . All I saw was Eve on the bed and Mike sat next to her . Eve started crying . She got up and went to come over to me , but he grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
"Mike , if you actually love me , you'll let me go ." He let go of her arm and she came over to me. She layed her head on me and put her hand on my chest.
"Alex ... I can't even look at him." She whispered in my ear. I stood up and helped her up .
"Mike get out of my house , now please." Mike sighed.
"Eve i'm sorry , I'll always love you." He got up and walked out. Eve put her head in my chest and cried. I rubbed her back , and held the back of her head.
"Eve , it's okay. " I grabbed a tissue and wiped her face off . I grabbed her hand and led her downstairs. I walked into the kitchen with Eve and just looked at my mom.
"What's wrong Alex?" I held Eve's hand and held our hands up. My mom smiled. " Are you guys dating !"
"Yes mom ."
"Awhh ! Alex can I talk to you for a minute?" I went over to the other side of the kitchen , and my mom took me into the living room.
"What happened with her and Mike ?"
"He cheated on her." My mom frowned.
"That's too bad. Did you ask her to prom?" I nodded. "What did she say." I nodded again." Awh honey ,you're gonna have a great time." I smiled and walked back out in the kitchen to Eve.
"Follow me." I grabbed Eve's hand again and took her into my back yard. I walked her down to the tree right next to the lake. The tree has carvings in it that said
"Alex and Eve, best friends forever." I grabbed a pen out of my pocket and carved in the tree
"A.R. + E.T. Forever 3" I put the pen back into my pocket. Eve smiled and hugged me.
"I love you Alex." She smiled and held my hand . I didn't know how to react.
"I love you too." Maria walked into my backyard and smiled.
"So what's going on back here?"
"Nothing Maria."Eve hugged me.
"If you ask me it looks like something." Maria mouthed "Prom?" to me. I nodded. "So you guys are going to prom together?"
"Yeah ."
"Mkay. So Eve , the girls are all over Layla's right now to hang out, wanna come?" Eve looked up at me.
"Go."
"Okay , I have to go grab my bags. I'll be back." Eve ran into my house.
"So does mike know you guys are going to prom together?"
"Yeah , actually he does. He's been calling her all day and asking for her back , and to go to prom with him."
"Wow , if he calls while I'm with her."
"Yeah, he didn't take it very well that she was going with me , and wouldn't go with him." Eve walked out of my house and up to me.
"I'm going now. Bye." She kissed me. "I love you A-Ry" She whispered.
