eve
"hello, gee?" i slightly whisper down the phone.
"you okay?" she hum's, her voice instantly calming me down.
"yeah, i just - i just need a friend." i sigh. cal left around 15 minutes ago and i'm sat alone in my flat, resisting the urge to cry.
"come round." i can almost hear her smile.
"okay." i breathe in deeply, ending the call and dragging my body out of my bed. i change into a hoodie and leggings, sighing at my obviously drained appearance. my eyes look puffy and they're still sore.
reaching will and gee's flat, will instantly greets me with a hug, "you alright?"
"mhm." i mumble into his chest, instantly feeling safe in my friends embrace.
"liar." he lets go of me as we both walk over to the sofa where gee is also sat. "what's the matter eve?", breathing in deeply, i already feel a lump beginning to form in my throat.
"just-," i sigh, "last night. i saw erm, i saw harry."
"oh really?" gee leans over, stroking my hand and i simply nod at her. "what happened?"
"well erm, i - i went out with cal and we were in a bar just having cocktails and then harry comes storming over, kicking off at cal for being with me. and then i saw ethan and lux and lux was actually nice, but ethan -," a tear tickles my cheeky and i swiftly wipe it away, "ethan said him cheating is all my fault and i just completely broke down." i glance at them both with sad eyes.
"oh eve." will coo's, wrapping an arm around my shoulder.
"he just seemed so annoyed." i look down at my knees, exhaling. "i hate how angry he gets." i mumble.
"it's definitely something he needs to sort out." will offers a reassuring smile, "you shouldn't let him get to you though. he's not worth it anymore."
"yeah eve, you have us now." gee grins, "it's his own problem if he's jealous."
"god, he was always jealous." i sigh, resisting the urge to cry.
flashback
"i bring you out with my mates and you're practically all over them." harry yells as they both walk through the front door to eve's flat.
"what are you on about?" she furrows her eyebrows, locking the door behind her.
"you know exactly what i'm on about eve." he groans, kicking off his shoes and turns to face her.
"i really don't harry?" she sighs, trying her hardest to think about what she could have possibly done wrong.
"hugging them all, flirting with cal, jj calling you fit." he mumbles, rolling his eyes.
"what?" she stares at him, a puzzled look written across her face, "how is jj calling me fit my problem?"
"you know how good you look eve, you knew it when you were dancing around like that."
"you're just jealous harry, get over yourself!" she raises her voice at the frustrated boy stood in front of her, "i was enjoying myself, harry!"
"whatever." he hisses, turning away from her, "you're mine." he mumbles.
"i know i'm yours harry!" she shouts, "you're being pathetic."
"i'm not being pathetic, just stop flirting with my mates." he spins back around, yelling once again.
"it's not flirting harry! i'm being friendly, you want me to be friends with them, don't you?"
"yeah, friends eve. not trying to get them to sleep with you." he folds his arms across his chest, huffing.
"harry," she sighs, stepping forward, "i'm yours. i'll always be yours, i don't want them. i love you." she stares up at him, tears pricking her eyes. dropping his arms from his chest he takes a deep breath in, cupping her face.
"i love you." he leans in, placing a delicate kiss on her lips.
but he was never sorry.
present day
"i think he's just got his own issues to deal with." gee sighs, "anyways. you and cal hmm?" she cocks her head, grinning.
"no, no!" i laugh.
"whatever eve." will shakes his head, softly chuckling. "we all see it!"
"see what?" i furrow my eyebrows at them both, a smile slowly forming across my lips. "it's honestly not like that. i couldn't anyways." and my smile instantly fades away. i'm sure cal and i together would be lovely, but the risk of harry knowing or seeing is too much. i would do anything for that boy to fix his issues, to calm down for once, to not feel jealous at the smallest of things. but i fear it'll never happen.
"you know what?" gee softly smiles, "some point along the line, you'll be completely over harry."
"i still love him." i sigh.
"i'm sure ya do," will rubs my shoulder again, "you could love him for a very long time, you just need to learn to live with it."
"i guess so." i nod, looking at them both, a smile slowly forming. "i just need time."
