Chapter 70
Evie's POV // He'll Never Love You Quite Like Me
I've been looking at this book for the last 2 hours, but I have not read a single word and if I don't stop soon I might just chew my own lip off. Niall would have pointed it out a long time ago.
Niall. How do I explain this?
I can't call and explain it, because Jaxon will probably hear. But I need to let him know so he doesn't think i'm hiding things from him. I'll just send him a text.
Evie: So on top of my boyfriend being across the world, and getting the flu...you will never guess what the final blow for this week is? *facepalm emoji*
Nialler: *frowny face* Tell me.
Evie: My sister and brother in law have invited you-know-who to live with him. Without telling me.
Evie: And before you call freaking out (which I am already doing myself), he'll hear me if I talk about it on the phone.
Nialler: *facepalm emoji times a thousand* WTH?!
Evie: My thoughts exactly. And I can't leave because I don't have my car.
Nialler: Are you ok, though?
Evie: *sigh* I'm annoyed. But i'm fine. He's in his room and if it stays that way we will be fine. I don't know how to act. He's completely sober right now. He's getting help.
Nialler: Well for his benefit, that's good I guess.
Evie: Beck was able to convince him.
Nialler: Oh Beck, always too kind for his own good.
Evie: Kind to a fault, but who can be mad at him for that? OH yeah, me.
Nialler: LOL!!!
I'm smiling widely without noticing it while i'm texting Niall, but I jump when Jaxon cautiously walks back into the living room.
He walks by without saying a word and disappears into the kitchen, but comes back a few minutes later looking at me nervously.
"Um...i'm going to order a pizza...would you like anything?" He asks.
Hmm actually food finally sounds good again.
"Oh. Sure." I nod.
"Pineapple and Pepperoni?" He asks.
He remembered.
My first instinct is to say no, because I've gotten used to sharing pizza with Niall and he hates pineapple on pizza so we get a different combination, but that is my favorite.
"Yeah." I nod.
30 minutes later the doorbell rings and I get up to get the door. Just before I can call his name he appears in the living room.
