Shit. I freeze.

"Evelyn! Why's this happening again and again? Is there something wrong? Something I should know about?"

I take small steps trying to calm her down "listen."

"NO! You're gonna give me an answer first. Is there? Something wrong between us? That you're not telling me? Why do I always have to hear things from a third person?"

"Did Dan tell you this?"

"Yeah. He did." she crosses her arms. "Why didn't I hear it from you?"

"Because it wasn't important Chloe."

"It wasn't important to tell me that your boyfriend might be involved in poisoning my boyfriend?"

"Chloe. Stop! Alright. Dan doesn't know shit! And you didn't hear it from me because Liam wasn't involved in this in any way. And how do you think it makes me feel when a third person comes in and fills your brain with a bunch of shit and you get mad at me. You of all people should know how that feels" I tell her referring to the Hazel incident that happened last year.

She keeps staring at me, realizing it wasn't the right thing to do. She looks at her feet. And then looks up. "You're right. I'm sorry." goes back on the bed, fiddling her fingers. "I get so worried about Jasper."

Understandable.

"There was a moment after Dan told me that he was poisoned, every single memory just flashed before my eyes, everything with Jasper. And then,what if-" her voice starts to crack "what happens- if he" I see her breathing faster than usual.

"If he- didn't"

"Chloe."

"If he didn't make it. I love him, Evelyn. So much." her eyes turn red and tears fill them up. Chloe's the person I've seen crying the LEAST in my life.

The only times she cried was when her father was about to leave after a big argument with her mother. She dearly loves her father. And the other time was when Jasper smiled while she was being insulted by Hazel.

The drops barely come out of her eyes, she tilts her head back and fans her eyes. And sighs deeply. "Chloe. If there's something I'm sure about, that's your trust. I know you trust me. So just keep your faith on this one. It wasn't Liam. I'm sure."

Every cell of my consciousness is telling me not to believe my heart. But I don't know if that's even possible. I feel his touch, and it makes me happy to think that he wants to stay with me.

I offer the bag of chips to Chloe. I know she loves doritos. I make myself comfortable on the bed and increase the volume of the T.V

Edward and Bella entering the woods, Bella confesses that she knows about Edward being a Vampire. Bella says that she isn't afraid of him being a vampire

'This is the skin of a killer' says Edward. After he stands under the sunlight and is now all glowy

"That's a so stupid! If the sun doesn't hurt them what will? Isn't like the sun supposed to be toxic to vampires? They can literally conquer the world. What's stopping them?"

I hear Chloe say words. They don't really register in my brain. I keep staring at the television screen and think of what happened downstairs. Steve was almost on the verge of crying. I know he's always nervous but this.... Was something else. It looked like he was holding back.

*Phone starts ringing

Chloe and I both look on the screen and Chloe rolls her eyes as the name comes up. My heart skips a beat. I take the phone and jump out of the bed. I open the balcony door and then close it. Receive the call.

"Hey", his deep voice, comes from the other side.

"Hi!"

"So.... I.... was, thinking about you." I press my lips and blush so hard, I squeeze my eyes shut. "Also, I just." he pauses "I just wanted to- you know- tell you how sorry I am, for not being by your side."

I couldn't have said 'don't be' because maybe he should be. I was crying myself to sleep almost every night. "Mmhm"

"Can we- uh- do you mind-? Coming out on the street?" I looked down on the street and found him looking up at my balcony, the street light ran through his eyes and they were shining. Beautiful shining brown eyes.

But I'm not sure if that's possible, mum's right on the couch and she will notice if I go out at this hour. I could have said that I'm going to Chloe's but she's here. With me. "Please." he almost whispers. I would not have understood that if I wasn't looking at him.

He was desperate. And he felt guilty, regretful. I could clearly see how much he wanted me to come downstairs. He still kept looking up at me, I bet he's already feeling neck pain. He tightens his jaws.

He would wait for me to decide patiently, because he realizes that I was equally hurt when he was not present. "Wait." I told him.

I run inside, put the phone on my bed "Chloe Chloe Chloe Chlo-"

"I'm sitting right here. And I don't have hearing problems, what?!" she turns back to the T.V. I take away the bag of doritos, she gasps. That'll work. "Don't you dare! Take that away from me." I roll my eyes.

"Ugh, listen listen! I need your help"

"When have you not needed my help? First gimme the dori-" I move it away

"No. first listen to me, Liam's downstairs,"

"What?! WHY?!" I give her the look and remind her that she told me she will give him a chance and won't just start a Liam hate club right away.

"He's asking me to meet him outside, and mum's downstairs. I would've told her I'm going to your place, if you weren't here. You know the drill right?" she nods " you have to come with me so that I can can say we have something over at your place that you forget to bring so that-"

"Yeah yeah I know the drill. Let's go."

We both ran downstairs "girls! The dinner will be ready in five!" mum informs us from the kitchen. Clearly Steve has left.

"Yeah! Mum, we're quickly gonna take a tour to Chloe's place, there's this thing she forgot to bring, we'll be back in time for dinner!" and we rush out

"What thing?! What thi-" and we shut the door behind us.

I see Liam and ask him to walk past my home, as we approach Chloe's place Chloe pulls out her ear pods from her sweatpants pocket, and gives me a I'll-give-you-two-some-privacy look. Once we are past Chloe's house as well, and finally out of vision for mum to see anything, I call Liam over to my side.

Chloe walks past us. And I stand there waiting for Liam to come over. He does. "Evelyn." oh lord the way he says my name. I don't say a word. Just look at him. He holds my palms softly "I'm sorry. For what I did to you. I'm sorry for making you cry. I'm sorry for not being by your side."

The lump in my throat gets bigger with every word he says. "You know, when I called you about Hyde the other day, and I heard you crying, I wanted to kill myself for doing that to you."

"That would've been a really shitty idea." I look at my feet while saying that.

He lets go of a small laugh, puts his index finger below my chin and moves it up. Once I'm looking at him, he leans closer to lock his lips with mine, after giving it a small soft kiss he pulls away "I love you."

A/N

You think he's being completely honest? Or is it just another trick to keep Evelyn? Also why would he wanna keep Evelyn? What's in it for him?

But then, there's so much going on with a person that we often don't figure out. Let's hope he isn't the bad guy. Also, thought on Dan aka Danial?
