Sebastian slams his hands against the steering wheel a few times before turning in his seat to me.“Evelyn,” he says, so serious that I swear I must be dreaming. “I don’t want to keep doing this with you. Is it that hard to see?”I don’t respond. What is he talking about?He laughs. “In life, people
Today’s not the day for revisiting.Especially thinking about the way I felt.“That’s great, Mom, but I just remembered I have somewhere to be!”“Aww, well, don’t let your old mom keep you. Love you, my dear. Be safe.”“Love you too, bye!” I hang up in a rush, slamming my phone down on my desk. I b
SebastianIt’s been a minute since I’ve been to the underground race track, but I’ve felt compelled to bring Evelyn here. She’s never really asked me anything about this part of my life.I’ve never explained it to her. In fact, I’m just used to those around me knowing every possible morsel I could s
She gives me a small smile, but her eyes thank me. It’s odd, knowing how to communicate with Evelyn without words. I’ve grown used to reading her expressions, and now it’s as if I’m an expert.“So, tell me where you struggled the most?” Evelyn changes the subject.“Damn, just getting into the nitty
EvelynI struggle to get the memories out of my head of the night at the racetrack. Hearing his story about the friend Sebastian lost a few years ago has me trying to put pieces of the puzzle together before I find the actual pieces.He doesn’t usually act this open with me. Sometimes, it slips out,
“He’s just around a lot. Seems to show up when we’re out or when we’re just chilling. I don’t know. It feels like he might like you.”Of course, as she says this, I’ve started to drink my water.I start coughing as it goes down the wrong pipe, pounding on my chest to get the spasms to stop. Holy shi
EvelynHalloween night is quickly approaching, so we’ve been going to costume parties for the past few weeks. I’ve had to get incredibly creative with my looks, but tonight I’ve finally just done the costume I’ve been wanting to do.“I still don’t know why you didn’t want to do the group costume ton
That sentence seems to find something in Sebastian. He stands up straighter.“Is that how you saw yourself? Someone surrounded by monsters?”I shrug. “I was young. My mom was all I had back then. If I wanted her nearby, then I had to go find her. Otherwise, it was a sea of strangers.”“But Boo wasn’
I look at Sebastian, worried that Ava might have to do that. We have him on tampering the breaks and paying off Seb’s team, but what happens if William has a gun or something, and refuses to let Ava go? “That depends. Do you forgive me for being foolish?” Ava’s voice has turned sultry, which is us
Evelyn's POV I’m more nervous than I should be. Ava’s putting her life in danger by talking to William. Not only that, but Sebastian’s laser focused on making sure things go well. I’m just sitting here trying not to tremble. William finally gets to Ava, and he looks horrible. His normal neat a
Sebastian's POV Jack Abbott studies everything I’ve given him. He sits across from Evelyn, Ava and I in our apartment, looking through each page carefully. It took a lot of outlining, but ultimately, Evelyn’s plan is perfect for this. As long as Jack’s on board with his findings, and things go r
Sebastian gives us a double take as he opens the door with his key. “When did you tell Ava?” “She tells me a lot more than you know, Sebastian.” She crosses her arms, looking between the two of us. “I’m the only person who knows the truth about you both. So, sometimes I take advantage of it.”
Evelyn's POV “Are you sure it’s not something I did? I just feel like I’m missing something.” Olivia crosses her arms, as I grab the last of my stuff. It only took me an hour to get everything out of here, and Sebastian’s waiting downstairs for me to finish up. Olivia still knows nothing. Not th
“I love Evelyn, alright? I know you don’t like it or approve, but this isn’t just some stupid game. We know what we’re risking. I’m sorry if you don’t like that.” “I don’t,” she admits, leaning against the back of the chair. “But you’re an adult. So is Evelyn. And I know this isn’t just a game. It
Sebastian's POV I’m in a blind rage now as we enter the track. If it was possible, I know I’d have smoke coming out my ears. Evelyn is still trying to convince me to stop whatever it is I’m doing. “It’s not worth it!” She’s been stressed the entire ride, but I can’t stop seeing in red. The guy
It’s a few days before I hear from Jack again. “You want the good shit or bad?” He asks over a phone call. I tell him I want everything. This is important. “Then I’ll start with the good. Your initial fears of this having to do with your former roommate? He’s heavily involved. In fact, seems lik
Sebastian's POV Evelyn’s bodyguard is six foot six and goes by Tank. He is built as his nickname suggests, with muscles that seemingly look like they’ll burst from his shirt, and tattoos wrapped around many limbs. He’s even got the bald head. In my head, I just call him The Rock after Dwayne J
