1. Fridays Are The Best
Eve rolled out of bed with a growl. It's Friday, it's the Friday before her graduation from high school and it's also the first Friday of being legal. Being 18 and old enough to be able to do anything she wants, well almost anything she wants. But the best part of this Friday, the best part of this Friday over all the other Fridays she has had is that today her big brother is coming home.
He has been away at school for too long and she has missed him. Four years is just way too long to only see him on holidays and the occasional weekend. She was so pissed at him when he said he was leaving for a school halfway across the country and after he left she refused to talk to him for almost a month. Yet when he got in a car accident, she freaked out calling him crying, telling him how sorry she was and missed him and excuse her for being a bitch.
He of course being the loving brother he is, just laughed saying it was fine. He knew she was a bitch but glad he got in a car accident for her to realize it.
But none of that mattered now, because he was coming home. He was coming home and staying in their house for the summer while he looked for an apartment with his girlfriend and some other friend that was coming with him.
Grabbing her phone she quickly hit 3 on her speed dial waiting impatiently for him to answer, "Ethan Kyle Heyes where are you?" Eve pretended to yell into her phone as she picked out some clothes to wear for the day.
"Well Eve Caya Heyes I am driving in a car down a road." He smirks, making Eve roll her eyes.
"Seriously when are you getting here big brother. I am more than ready to see you." she tells him holding up a shirt and debating if she wants to wear it. "I mean, I haven't actually seen you in person since last Christmas. I miss my big brother." She pouts sitting on her bed.
"Well just think you are going to spend so much time with me that in a couple weeks you will want me gone." Ethan teases.
"Oh never; you left me alone for four years. I will not want you gone."
"Hey I left you with mom." He objects and can honestly see her roll her eyes.
"Ok you left me with mom. Mom who works all the time and never really home. Having mom here is completely different from having my big brother." She explains and though she loves her mom, they actually got close after Ethan left but it didn't change that she needed her brother. Ethan was 4 years and 4 months older than Eve. But even with the age gap, they are extremely close. Growing up you never really saw one without the other and best friends don't really describe their friendship. They trust each other with everything; never lie to each other and mainly because the other knows when they are. Eve knows when Ethan is lying to her by his hands shoveling in his pockets and the way he moves from side to side. Ethan knows when Eve is lying because she bites the inside of her cheek and plays with anything by her, like she will fiddle with her keys or play with her shirt hem. They know everything if anything and have each other's backs no matter what.
"Well I will be home soon. We have some stops to make before getting there so just be that good little sister I know and wait ever so patiently. But you know what would be very awesome of you?" he asks and Eve just rolls her eyes with a what, "Well you see I love you so very much like you are the best little sister in the whole world." He says and Eve hears the people in the background laughing.
"What do you want Ethan?" Eve asked falling in her bed and pulling up her jeans putting her phone between her shoulder and ear.
"Well I was hoping maybe..." Ethan
starts but hears a crash and a mumbled shit, "E, you ok?" he asks, hearing some moving around until she came back on."Yeah sorry I was trying to put on my pants and dropped my phone. Shit I cracked it." She growls looking at the screen, "Ok so going to get a new one today." She mumbled more to herself.
"Eve you are so stupid."
"Shut up and just tell me what you want."
"Ok you think you could put fresh sheets on my bed and the guest room please?"
"Fine, I guess I could do that." Eve growls trying to sound annoyed but not really, she would do whatever Ethan asked really because she is just excited he is home, "But I am going to go change sheets, run and do something and go get a new phone. So text me when you get home and I will see you soon."
"Ok love you baby sister see you soon."
"Love you too, bye." She said hanging up.
Eve skipped out of her room grabbing all the sheets before going to her brother's room. It looks the same, even after all these years of him not living in it. It is still like a blue gray and it still had his big checkered pattern bedspread; it had his sport posters still up and his old computer in it. It had his pictures up with his girlfriend of the last 5 years Sophie and then it had some of her and him, him and his high school friends, this room was all Ethan. It was still looking the same and with a smile Eve made his bed while humming to her favorite song as she did. Then heading to the guest room and doing the same.
2. Tattoo BoyAfter finishing everything she got her keys and purse and headed to the store to pick some things up. Like the stuff that is Ethan's favorite, she got some chips and some soda that he liked. She got his favorite dessert which was a chocolate cake and then some plain vanilla ice cream; she got some bananas and cherries along with whip cream and sprinkles. Ethan loved his banana splits. Most nights they would sneak down into the kitchen and Eve would make a large banana split and both would share. On top of all that she got some of his favorite coffee and then some of his favorite beer that with her fake ID and also flirting with the guy behind the counter didn't get questioned.Running home really quick she took everything in, put it in the freezer and fridge and headed back out. She got her new phone which she thought was actually better than her old one and after getting all her numbers and pictures switched she headed to the next place on her list. Pulling in she was n
3. I Love Fridays"Well thank you for the hand holding and the food." Eve says as Jaxx walked her back to her car."Well no problem, I had fun. I am just glad I could partake in your first tattoo getting. Yet good luck with the brother that may not be too fun." he laughs as the stop and Eve fiddles with her keys standing outside her car and he leans up against her car, "Can I ask you a question?" he asks."You can ask but I can't promise to answer." She teases looking up at him as he smiles, shaking his head."I just wanted to know how old you actually are. I mean you said you graduated high school but did you like just graduate or did you graduate a year or so back and just haven't started college yet." He said and Eve nodded, staring at him a second while debating the question. Now she could lie, tell him she graduated a year or so back like he said and that she just didn't want to start school until knowing what she was going to study. It would have been a dumb thing to lie about b
4. ReunionWith a smile still plastered on her face Eve arrived home. Yet when she saw her brother's car that smile was turned into a completely different one. Not the ‘I just made out with an insanely hot guy smile but my big brother is home YAY!’ Smile. She all but jumped out of her baby blue Volkswagen beetle and took off towards the front door."Ethan?!" she called through the home, "Ethan where are you?!" she yelled and jumped with excitement when she heard some laughing outside by the pool and took off, "Ethan!" she squealed, taking off towards her older brother standing with open arms."Hey Eve." He smiled getting tackled by his baby sister with a hug. He picked her up off the ground spinning her around as she still squealed."I missed you so much!" she said and that excitement and squealing turned into watery eyes and a single tear running down her cheek."You missed me but me being here makes you cry?" he teases, wiping her tear as she just smacks him on the arm, "Come here y
5. Tattoo? Eve and Sophie sat talking as well as catching up. Sophie told her all about school and then told her about how Ethan and her broke up for a couple months that took Eve completely by surprise since her brother never told her. But that would explain why when she called him sometimes he just seemed so depressed and short with her. It seemed every time she would call he just would be like we will talk later Eve, or I don't know I have things to do and hang up. His normal funny joking around with her tone was replaced with just a cold person she didn't know or like, but they are back together now so it's all good, his sweet self is back. "But yes that is our short version of everything that has occurred with us two. I was really scared at some points I won't lie. I mean I was so mad at him about things but I still loved him so much and the thought that I would never have him back just....it just killed me inside." Sophie frowned clearly, still upset by thinking about it all e
6. Jaxx who? "So tell me about Jaxx." Eve says as she sits on her brother's bed and Sophie starts putting her clothes in the dresser. "Your brother would kill you." Sophie laughs walking back over to her suitcase grabbing more clothes. "I didn't say anything, just said tell me about him." Eve shrugs trying to pretend as if it wasn't a big deal. She didn't know why she wanted to know about Jaxon but she did, she kissed the guy, flirted with him and for a short period of time really wanted the guy and not in the way she wanted to sit and talk to Sophie but in the way Daniel still wanted her. "Well he is Jaxx. He is charming, has his moments of sweetness and is pretty easy on the eyes. Mr. Star basketball player, Mr. Popularity and Mr. Getting anyone I want." Sophie says with a small laugh "I love Jaxon don't get me wrong but he is the biggest man whore I know. Uses anything he can do to get with girls hence why your brother will kill you...well kill him." Sophie explains and Eve fro
7. Do you know who I am? "So awkward." Eve says with a small laugh grabbing a few beach towels out of her bathroom closet. "That would be one word." Jaxx laughed trying to stop himself from watching her body reach up for a towel on the top shelf. She really did have a great body. "Damn, why do they put these things so high? I mean hello I am short." She pouts and he laughs walking over to her. "Here, let me help you." he says, reaching over her, grabbing the towel trying to ignore the tingles his body seemed to get by brushing up against hers. Eve spun around facing him as his hand was still out reaching above her shoulder. His face was only a few inches away from hers and she swears he could hear her heart pounding. She didn't know what it was, a guy never made her heart race this fast before, it made her palms get all sweaty and goose bumps by his body barely brushing against hers. "You're off limits right?" Jaxx whispered, casting a glance down at her lips finding it cute how
8. Rescue pt. 1 Eve walked around the small dinner picking up her friends food. Well her best friend, her brother and Jaxon's. She still had yet to figure out Jaxon's hot and cold act. He had been there a week and since their little bathroom make out he hasn't tried anything. Now of course she didn't want him to but really she would be stupid and lying if she told you she wasn't thinking about it. That the thought of just tip toeing down her hall to the guest room downstairs has not crossed her mind a few times at night. "You are in deep thought." She heard the low voice of someone she has known for awhile. Someone who no matter how much she scrubbed would never be able to erase the fact she hooked up with the nasty trash. "What do you want Daniel?" She growled turning away from looking a
9. Rescue pt.2 His plan wasn't to upset her. He really didn't want to upset her but the past week all he has wanted to do was kiss her. Feel those soft lips once again against his and when he saw his opportunity he took it. Now of course he wish it wasn't a fake kiss, something to piss off that tool but hell he will take what he can get. "I'm sorry." Jaxon apologized as he rounded the corner to find her leaning against the wall, "Are you ok?" He asked seeing her wipe her eye real quick. "Yeah I'm fine." She lied looking away from him not wanting anyone to see she was upset. Not over something she choose to do. "You don't look fine." He said as he started to walk over towards her. "Gee thanks." Eve let out a small laugh wiping her nose.
