p class="MsoNormal""Leave me alone, Scott." I order, quickly entering the mansion, leaving him jogging up the steps behind / "Evelyn,
please!" I can hear the slight exasperation in his voice. br / "You're treating me like a kid again!" I walk quicker, not turning back to look at / "I'm sorry! We just thought it would be best if-"br / "Of course." I reach the entrance to our room and push the door open a little too forcefully. "You and emhim/em! You always know what's best for me."br / "The professor was just trying to help!" I reach into the closet and yank my leather jacket from a hanger. "Where are you going?"br / "Out." I say simple, slipping on the jacket. "Don't follow me."br / "It's not safe!" He protests as I exit the room. I can hear his footsteps quickening behind / "Shut up!" I yell, stopping and turning quickly to face him. I click my fingers, igniting my hand. "Stop telling me what I can and can't do. Stop telling me lies about my best friend.
And most of all, stop telling me things aren't safe! Just...
emArgh/em! Stop treating me like a child! Do I look like a child?! You think I couldn't burn your goddamn face off?
Because I could. Easily."br / "I'm not saying that." He replies calmly. "I just don't want anything to happen to you."br / "I can look after myself!"
The flames that weave over my skin and through my fingers burn brighter. br / "If anything ever hurt you, I couldn't-"br / "You hurt me, Scott!" I cut through his speech. "You!"br / "I was going to tell you about Sara, I just needed to find the right time." He seems slightly panicked, probably from the threat of me being out / "Hey, guys?" Our attention simultaneously snaps to Bobby who pokes his head out of a doorway on my right. "Is everything alright? I heard-"br / "Go away, Bobby!" We order in / "O-Oh. Okay."
He falls back into the room, shutting the door begins him. I can't help the guilt that I feel for being rude to Bobby. It wasn't his fault!br / "I'm leaving now." I state strongly. br / "Evelyn." Scott / "No! Don't em'Evelyn'/em me!" I snap back. "I'm going for a walk. Alone!"br / "No, you can't!" He is more forceful now. I retract the flames back into my palm, before leaning forward to growl my final / "Watch me!" I turn and stride quickly towards the exit. br /
"Evelyn, get back here!" Scott's yells get progressively quieter as I continue my journey. I know there is only one place I can go when I fall out with / "emJohn?
Can we meet up?/em"br / "emSure/em."
His voice quickly enters my mind. "emWhen?/em"br / "emI was thinking, right now/em."br / strongembr / **Super short chapter.
Sorry, guys.**/em/strong/p
