INICIAR SESIÓNEVELYN'S POVHis voice caught me off guard, my name, no one else called me Evie, not Anya, not Elroy, my heart raced as my heart and brain had a conflict of whether to look at his face or to leave my groceries and make a run for it but I still had my heels on, how long would I run before my feet would start to ache?I listened to my brain, not looking up, I pulled out my pepper spray yet again and put it in his face as quickly as my hands could move "Fuck! Evie" he yelled out in pain, his voice didn't sound too familiar, yet I couldn't shake the feeling that it was him.I didn't wait around for him to recollect himself, I moved away from, watching him clutch his face in his palms, groaning but just when I tried to actually make a run for it"I'm not letting you go, not again" I felt his hand on my arm"Leave me alone!" I screamed with tears trickling down my cheeksHe sure was persistent, why wouldn't he be? He had been following me for a while. I lunged at him, using my purse as a w
EVELYN’S POVMy body refused to move, I fell onto the sofa, Anya’s phone leaving my hands, I heard the door open and there she was rushing towards me “Evelyn..Evelyn, are you alright?” She asked, helping me up.I pointed to her phone which faced down, almost broken “He…he called you, I don’t know how he found your number or how he’s doing all of this” I sobbed, this was becoming worse than I had imagined.“That’s it. I’m calling the police” she said, grabbing her phone and dialing the number.****I spent hours in silence, my body stiff as she talked to the cops, I didn’t bother to listen to whatever they said, my heart still raced at the thought of his voice, it felt like he was close to me, closer than before.“Evelyn” someone called out to me, I turned to look, it was Elroy, his knees on the floor next to me, his eyes searching mine, his hands on mine, his breath sounded heavy.“Wh..what are you doing here?” I asked, my voice muffled from the sobbing.“Anya called” he cupped my fac
EVELYN’S POVThe text looked blurry, not just because my hands shivered but also because my eyes had a pool of tears waiting to pour.“Evelyn” Elroy said softly, my eyes stayed glued to the screen, my soul almost leaving my body. Does Melvin know about him? Now that he’s found me, what’s going to happen?“Evelyn” I heard in between my tears and thoughts, right beside me, he was seated, concern etched on his face, his hand warm as they held me, giving me a sense of comfort but it wasn’t enough, my tears had already flowed.Unbuckling his seat belt, he pulled me in for a hug “Are you upset because of what I said?” He asked, his body colliding with mine, my face buried in his chest.“I’m sorry I made you cry”“You..you didn’t make me cry, it’s someone else” I sobbed, pulling away from him “I have to go” I regained composure but he held onto my arm, his other hand, keeping the door closed.“Then why are you in tears?” His voice softly seeped into my ears, his concern was touching but that
EVELYN’S POVSuddenly I felt sweat dripping down my forehead and my lips wouldn’t move, my brain felt scrambled as I tried to speak.“Recently we haven’t had much tests to go by, so evaluation hasn’t been thorough” I responded, trying to steady my shaky voice, he didn’t look at me, his eyes stayed on his wife who was now straightening his bow tie.They did look like the most perfect couple, endearing and loving.“Hmm” he gruntled “You wanted to say something, you can speak” he urged me but I didn’t have the heart to ask for what I wanted, I mean, it’s unprecedented, I haven’t even tutored her for upto a month, asking for an advance might be a bad idea, especially with complains of Elroy.“I just wanted to say that Chloe is improving at such a rapid rate” I cleared my throat “She’s been doing quite well”“I’ve noticed that as well, her professor graded the latest essays she turned in and it went well” he smiled, the faint one that didn’t reveal any canines.“I’ll be on her with lesson
EVELYN’S POVThe sound of heavy multiple footsteps caused me to rethink my actions, had he lied about class not happening because I didn’t have my schedule, if there wasn’t any classes, then why would this number of people converge at a place.“El…Elroy” I said softly, turning to look at him, I was stronger than this, “This has to stop” I whispered, buttoning my shirt before looking around for an escape route.“Bu..but Evelyn”“It’s professor Reeds to you” I said, avoiding his gaze, smoothening my collar, my eyes catching the other door of the room, so there was another passage way after all. “Make no mention of this” I warned.Holding onto my phone, I moved past him, letting myself out through the door.The door led to a hall and I didn’t look back before walking swiftly to the professors lounge. ****The day wore on and it was time to head home, technically it was the motel Anya had found for us to stay in until I got my pay to get us a new apartment.As I sat in the bus on the way
EVELYN’S POVThe air felt still on my skin, my heart raced and I clenched my fists in fear “Mel..Melvin” I stuttered with a shaky breath but then I felt him from behind me, a soft breath on my nape.“Professor Reeds” he whispered and suddenly I felt calmness wash over me as I turned to look at him, it was just Elroy “Why are you so scared?” He asked, the room still slightly darkened.“What on earth was that?!” I questioned loudly, placing my hand on my chest as I breathed heavily “Why would you sneak up on me like that?” He turned on the lights and I could see the remorse in his eyes “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you” he stated, his hands on my shoulders , I shrugged them off “Evelyn” he called out softly.“What’s even going on? Why isn’t anyone here?” I mumbled.“Classes aren’t meant to hold today” he paused “You had left your work schedule and the principal had sent in the impromptu notice of it” he explained I had no idea, no wonder school seemed all gloomy and empty.I fel
