Together Forever

"Really? You two are leaving me?" I ask, staring at Leah and Nick, dumbfounded. Nick is watching TV while eating fries, engrossed in his football match. So he just gives me a shrug and again dives into his world.

"Don't be so dramatic, Evie. As if we are leaving you forever." Leah rolls her eyes at me while putting some clothes in her luggage.

"That's the same. I will have to shift to Manhattan and live in that huge spooky palace all alone. What is so important that you are leaving hurriedly?" I ask, pouting.

"Try to understand, Evie. It's been six months since I last saw mom and dad. I am missing them so much and they are also telling me to go."

"Alright but why is that baboon going with you? That's your house, your parents, not his. What will he do there?"

"What the hell? Stop calling me baboon!" Nick whines and throws a fry at my direction. "And I am going there to visit my future parents in law. What's your problem?" He winks at Leah and as usual earns a smack from her.

Leah's parents called her today morning from Texas telling her to go there. She will leave tomorrow. At least I thought Nick will stay with me but being Leah's very good 'friend', he is also going after her. But we all know the backstory very well. I couldn't go because I have work to do.

Leah was handling everything here. Now as I don't know the 'c' of cooking, I have no other way than to go to our palace in Manhattan, much to my displeasure.

The main reason for living in this apartment is because I don't like to have a thousand maids and guards for me who will inform my dad every two hours what I am doing or if I am eating properly and blah blah blah.

But now, there's nothing to do.

Leah's phone rings in her room and she goes to pick it up leaving us alone. I find it the perfect time to talk to Nick about what happened between me and Ethan that night.

"Nicki?" I call him as he looks at me.

"What?"

"I need to talk to you. It's important. Turn off the TV."

"Not important than my match." He sticks his tongue out at me and I shake my head.

"Ethan came here that night you two were outside."

"What?" Nick shouts as he jumps up from the couch, turns off the TV immediately and runs towards where I am sitting with wide eyes.

He sits beside me, ready to hear what I want to say.

"Why did he come here? Huh? After hurting you like that? Did he do something bad? Tell me, Evie. I am getting scared now." He continues rambling, making me sigh.
