dedicated to blue (@llytse) because justice for evelyn !!

THROUGHOUT THE FIVE DAYS that Evelyn was in the hospital, Devon had stayed by her side for each day, sat in a cold metal chair beside the bed. Rhys walked in every hour or so to check up on him and bring him some food or a blanket.

Devon was brimming with worry; Evelyn meant so much to him and Rhys. The three were inseparable. It was rare to see only one of them without the other two.

Nevertheless, Evelyn woke up five days later.

Her eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the bright lights and weird hospital smell. She gently lifted her hands mere inches above the bed, following the IV wires to the clear plastic bags. Evelyn hoisted herself into an upright position with some difficulty, noticing a wad of dishevelled brown hair to her left.

She noticed the dark bags beneath his eyes and tear-stained cheeks, his light breathing pattern as he snored softly. His head rested upon his knees, the shape of his arms barely visible beneath the thin blue blanket. The redhead smiled to herself, rubbing her eyes.

"Eve?"

Her head perked up, a smile returning to her face.

"Rhys!" She waved, motioning towards a chair for him to sit in.

A quiet gasp arose from the left, their heads turning towards the brunette.

"Evelyn!" Devon half-whispered, his voice hoarse and croaky as he gently grabbed her hand. His eyes were full of relief, letting out a sigh and leaning back in his chair.

"Did you stay here?" Evelyn chuckled.

"Obviously."

"He wouldn't let anyone take him home. The nurses gave up and so did I." Rhys grinned, squeezing Devon's shoulder.

"Don't mess with your IV," Devon scolded Eve, lightly slapping her hand away from her other.

"Okay, so Evelyn.. got shot and someone left a note in her locker," Juniper summarised to the group, a perplexed expression written across her face.

"How did someone even get a gun? In Elmswood, of all places," Rosalie grunted.

"Angel, where were you?"

"In my bathroom, vomiting and sweating," he narrowed his eyes at Rhys, "why am I the bad guy?"

"Well, you and Oceanus were the only ones not there who knew about the game," Rhys shrugged, rolling his eyes so far back into his head that they may as well have fallen down his throat. His thick Welsh accent made Oceanus' name sound a little strange, though no one said anything.

"Can we please just stop the game? Evy almost died because of this bullshit," Devon whined, sprawled across Rhys and Evelyn's laps.

"What does "MIKE" mean?"

"Maybe it's an acronym. 'More Ice Kegs E-please'." Yasser giggled at his own stupidity.

"Wait, wait, what the fuck?"

Nine heads turned towards Yasser, staring as he turned his phone to face them all.

"Wait, so they're here?"

Angel hurriedly threw on his t-shirt, scooting slightly closer to Yasser.

Abel stood up, surveying the quiet park - a few kids were running about, their parents sat nearby, but otherwise there was nobody there.

There was a moment of collective silence, and the rustle of a bush.
