Evelyn's PovThe ball wasn't what I had expected. It was more than I expected. The last time I entered a place this luxurious was like ages ago. The room was filled with people whose clothes were expensive enough to solve my problem.I couldn't fit in. I didn't fit in.I stood there watching Dorothy conversing with her co-workers. This place felt isolating. I wanted to go, I felt like leaving but I couldn't. The thoughts of my father's medical bill and my mother's looming doom kept me rooted to the ground.“This is my friend Evelyn,” Dorothy said. I didn't notice when Dorothy and her friend Ethan had walked up to me. I was lost in my thoughts. Ethan smiled; his eyes locked onto mine.“Hello. I'm Ethan. It's nice to meet you,” Ethan said, stretching forth his hands for a handshake. He wore a smile that almost felt like a mask—he was literally wearing a mask after all it was a masquerade ball.“I'm Evelyn, like Dorothy said.” I said, I didn't shake, I left his hand hanging in the hair.

Evelyn’s Pov“Hello Eve. I've found a solution!” Dorothy said on the other end of the phone.The cold air slapped my face as I walked down the alley.“What do you mean?” I asked. I wondered what Dorothy was up to again. I knew she was always the type to come up with a solution for every problem but raising the $350,000 or even $450,000 that it has amounted to, thanks to the reckless action of my mother, seems like an impossible feat to be achieved in such a short time.“I need you to meet me at my apartment,” Dorothy answered.“I'm already on my way dear.” I said, hailing a taxi. The driver stopped, parking as I tossed myself inside the vehicle, closing the door behind me. “I would be there in minutes.” I said.“Okay.”“Your hair is a mess. Were you into a fight or something?” Dorothy asked, her hand brushing into my hair as she stood closer to me.“It's quite a long story. I'll explain all that to you.” I said, we both walked to her living room as we sat down together.“Why don't you

Evelyn's PovI stood outside the hospital, the early morning air caressing me. It suddenly felt cold outside, colder than when I had arrived earlier. I took out my phone from my pocket just to see a message from my boss in my email.That's weird.I checked the date and, it wasn't my pay day yet. so, what could the message be about?I opened the message and my heart dropped to my stomach.‘You've been released from your duty here at Cole's Restaurant. Your paycheck would be wired 48 hours from now.’ I read through in my mind.I didn't know how to react. I had a lot of questions roaming in my head, questions left unanswered. Why? What happened? Did I do something wrong?My phone rang, distracting my attention. My phone has been buzzing a lot since today. Could this day get any worse? I looked at the screen and it was Dorothy calling. I picked it up.“Hello” I said.“Hey Eve, how is your dad? I heard his condition is very bad. Are you at the hospital already? How are you feeling?” She as

Evelyn's PovThree Weeks AgoI stood in front of the bathroom mirror staring at my sleep ridden face. The only sound occupying the space was the continuous outflow of water from the faucet. I had a long day at work the other night and I barely had enough sleep.When would I eventually end this cycle? Waking up earlier and going to bed very late. I turned off the tap, staring at myself at the mirror as silence occupied the bathroom. My hair was a mess. It looked like a rat’s nest. A human rat’s nest, I think.I shove my fingers into my hair untangling the tangled strands.“Look much better,” I muttered to myself.A notification popped up on my phone screen jolting me out of my thoughts. It was a message from my mother. That was strange. Mom never sent me messages. She was the kind of person that grew up in the 90’s that wasn't really smart enough to know how to operate a smartphone so, she he only called me.I was hesitant at first but the quirkiness of the message compelled me to open

Evelyn's PovThe sound of a belt buckling around someone's waist disturbed my sleep. I slowly opened my eyes but was met with a sharp ray of sunlight, I squinted, rubbing my eyes with my hands.My body still aches. All over.I rolled in an attempt to avoid the sunlight but something felt strange. The bed was larger than mine, it felt softer and much more comfortable. I slowly opened my eyes only to see an imposing figure standing close to the window.Sebastian.His name crossed my mind. He was adjusting his cufflinks. I had not got a better view of him last night because of the atmosphere. He stood there, his back facing me. He turned, as if my piercing gaze was poking him.Our eyes locked.I didn’t know what to expect considering my head still aches from the excessive alcohol intake and last night still remained a blurred memory. The only thing that came to my mind were fragments of last night. The slow kisses, hands on my bare skin, his teeth on my neck, our sweat filled skin slammi
