Chapter 16: Related

There's something in me that keeps me constantly afraid of losing Drew, I don't know what it is. It could be the fact that he was the first person to ever help me, and I trust him more than Sawyer that's for sure. I'm glad Evan just showed up, gives me enough time to break into Sawyers room. I just need to wait for Nancy to finish tidying up. I walk to the bathroom and pretend I'm using it. I check the drawers for any paper clips or bobby pins. I smile when I find a little box full of bobby pins, thank you Bethany. I walk out into the room and see no sign of Nancy. I look out the window to make sure the Pierce brothers are still arguing, and smile when they still are. When I make it to the hallway, I make sure the coast is clear. There's no sign of anyone.

Standing in front of Sawyers room is kind of intimidating. The door looks fancy, it is a dark brick color. I take out the bobby pin from my pocket. The ends are too round and soft, I pick the plastic off with my teeth. Once I have the hard metal I stretch it out and bend it, and place it into the key hole. I get frustrated when I can't get the damn door open. I stand back, take a deep breath and try one more time.  I wiggle the bobby pin around, I turn it in the direction that the door would unlock if there were a key. Once I start hearing a series of clicks I know I'm getting close. The bobby pin starts to rotate freely and I turn the knob, the door is unlocked. I can't believe I actually did that, didn't think it would work. I hurry and open the door.

The inside of Sawyers room is nothing like I pictured. It's semi clean, a few shirts on the ground. Other than that it's modern and clean, no decorations. Everything is bare, there's only a bed, two bed side drawers, and a closet. I'm sure my phone is in one of those drawers. I walk towards them and open each one, one at a time. I start to lose hope when I see that the drawers are empty, no papers, no personal items. It's all a bit strange. I open the last drawer slowly, expecting to find nothing. My eyes light up when I see my phone sitting there, nothing else is there just my phone. I quickly grab it and run out. When I see that they're still arguing, I have time to compose myself. 

"Ummm...hey." I wave to Evan with a toothy smile. Evan stops bickering and turns to me. He smiles and continues to fire back at Sawyer. I'm standing there between them, it's funny how they're polar opposites. Evan is dressed up in dressy business attire, as usual. I turn to Sawyer and he's just in a plain white shirt, and black pants. Evan is gentle, Sawyer is harsh. I'm not even paying attention to what they're saying.

"Opal!" Sawyer says, snapping his fingers in my face. I've just been standing there finding all the differences between them. "You okay?" He says stepping closer to me. I move closer to Evan, and I see Sawyers lip move slightly.

"Yeup, just thinking." I stare into his green eyes. His eyes move to my hands, and he searches my face. He tilts his head, his eyes narrowing slightly, but he doesn't say anything.

"Lets go Maple." Evan asks not looking at me, but at Sawyer.

"She can't" Sawyer snaps. A gasp slips from my lips, surprised that Sawyer is speaking to his brother like that. I turn towards Evan, he's not phased at all.

"Umm well, I'd feel better if I went with you." I tell Evan. Evan smiles at me, but his eyes travel back towards Sawyer.

"Then its settled." Evan says with a smile. I can feel Sawyers eyes blazing from behind me. I don't bother turning around, not willing to face what excuse he has for me to end up in his car. I hear Sawyers car alarm locking the car, and his heavy steps walking back to the front door. I turn not believing what I'm hearing, he's seriously the childish one.
