Eternally Yours

1st day of school

Eve’s POV:

I was about to sit up on the bed if it wasn’t for the figure sleeping behind me with their arms wrapped around my waist, so instead of doing that, pulled their arms off of me sitting up on the bed and stretching my limbs getting a couple of cracks from my back and tensed up when I heard the familiar chuckle that belongs to  my dad who sat up slowly stretching his limbs getting more than enough cracks from his tense muscles making me laugh but coughed at the raised eyebrow from the man beside me “Now who is laughing?” I asked him and dad smiled pulling me closer to him with his arms wrapped around my waist “Hilarious” he whispered to me “You laughed when I had some cracks, but you, you had a rhythmic tone to it” I told him with a giggle getting a hum from dad who started tickling my side and I fell on the bed laugh while telling him to stop “I won’t stop till you say sorry” dad laughed with me “Never” I squeaked and dad stopped kissing my cheek “It’ll take a lot more than a tickle torture to get me to confess” I told dad sitting up on the bed with my back straight and my head held high “That’s my girl” he whispered to me and I got off of the bed to put my slippers on and walk to my wardrobe while dad walked out of the room to do something so I could get dressed in comfortable bra, black tank top, black skinny, ripped jean pair of pants, white pair of socks and black square heeled boots with orange knitted, long sleeved sweater and black floppy hat letting my hair loose from the braid then walked back to my bed making it for the morning while tidying up the room a bit and folded my pajama on the foot of the bed with my slippers on the floor and I walked out of the room walking downstairs to see mom already done with breakfast to sit down on the counter with dad and a tired looking sister “Morning Evie” mom greeted me getting a greeting back from me…

I walked out of the restroom, after I’m done with my breakfast and getting myself cleaned up and ready for school, to walk back in my bedroom walking to my wardrobe to get my black ‘Pink’ backpack putting my phone, headphones, phone and IPod charger wires, pencil case, keys, the small packet of tissues, wallet, pepper spray, two protein bars, and IPod in the small, front pocket, my makeup bag, makeup remover wipes, period bag, small notebook specifically bought for school purposes, makeup bag, USB cable, perfume, power bank, first aid kit, and my school binder in the front pocket, three notebooks, and all my school textbooks in the back pocket leaving the ones that didn’t fit in the bag on my desk, my umbrella in one of the side pockets and the other pocket for my water bottle closing the bag  and put everything else that I don’t need back where I got them so I could walk out of the room heading off out of the house to work on the plants…

I finished working on the plants and walked back inside the building getting my backpack and textbooks from my bedroom to close and lock the doors, windows, and curtains on my way downstairs to see mom, dad and an impatient sister waiting for me and smiled at them walking with them to the garage getting in dad’s car…

            I arrived to the school building thanks to my mom driving the car to let me and my sister get out of the car and we walked inside the building with our bags and my textbooks to shiver at the tense, cold aura around us then looked at my sister who smiled telling me that she’ll see me after we put things away in our lockers getting a nod from me then walked off to my locker putting my textbooks that I don’t need for today’s subjects in my locker lowering my hat to let my hair loose thankfully I used my dry shampoo spray earlier this morning  and closed locking my locker on my way towards my sister’s locker with my bag over my shoulder to see Anastasia kissing a stranger “I thought you said that you’re going to wait till you’re actually dating someone before you do that sis” I asked my sister who pulled away from the boy who smirked at her as he turned around to look at me “Why don’t you join us?” he asked walking towards me and when he took my hand in his, I ripped my hand from his seeing his pupils shift which is something I read in one of the books we have in the basement would only mean one thing, and I ripped my hand from his hold and kicked him away from me which made him hit the far away wall making a huge dent on the wall “Touch me again, I dare you” I threatened him then pulled my sister with me to her classroom taking her bag from the floor and opened the door to the classroom letting my sister walk in and giving her the bag while looking at her classmates with a frown on my lips then watched my sister walk to the only empty seat leaving me close the door on my way to my classroom…

I finished my first three classes smoothly and with little to no trouble from anyone closing and putting everything in my bag where they belong in my bag to walk out of the room heading off to the vice principal’s office knocking on the door “Come in” I heard an unfamiliar voice tell me and I walked in to see my dad, the boy, my sister, and the boy’s father “Eve, hey sweetie” dad greeted me with a smile and saw the boy stand up in a hurry when he saw me walk in making me smirk walking towards dad giving his shoulder a light squeeze and he patted my hand “Calm down, we already took care of the problem” dad whispered to me and I looked at my sister “I got detention and grounded for two more weeks” she told me with her head down and I looked down at dad kneeling down to his height “What if I told you that boy in front of you forcefully kissed her, would you still ground her?” I asked dad who snapped his head towards me asking me what am I talking about “I was there, I taught the poor boy a lesson, but I think he needs to learn a little more than one” I shrugged standing up to look at the boy with a small smile “My family is a red line boy, you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us” I warned the boy who frowned “Now be a good little kid, and tell them what really happened” I told him and saw Mr. Williams turn to look at the boy “Tell us the truth Zachariah” the vice principal told the harasser and he told him that she didn’t fight back making dad frown about to stand up but I kept a firm grip on his shoulder while looking at the boy and the vice principal sighed…

“You’re suspended from the school for two weeks and Miss Smith, forget the detention” Mr. Williams told the boy then looked at my sister who nodded smiling at him “I’ll take her to her friends” I told dad who nodded letting me pick my bag from the floor and walked towards my sister to pull her with me out of the room heading off to the food court and she smiled at me “Thank you sis” she smiled at me and I kissed her cheek not saying anything then I let run to her friends before walking off to the art room to see two of my classmates sitting at the far back of the room working on what looks like wire and plastic pearls and I turned around to look at who might be sitting watching over them to see a woman with dark brown hair looking back at me with a smile “Good morning sweetie” she greeted me getting one back from me then asked her if she has any wood “I’m not quite sure, but let me check for you” she told me standing up from her chair to look through the cabinets in the room with my help till I saw an old box laying around “This looks perfect” I told her and she stood up to look at me then looked down at the box, before looking back at me “Are you sure sweetie? I can look for something a bit better” she asked me and I nodded smiling at her telling her that it is and she nodded smiling at me then I walked off to sit on the other empty chairs to work on carving 3D roses, plants and flowers to decorate the box make it a bit more presentable…

            I looked at my phone when I heard the bell ring telling us that it’s the end of the day and stood up collecting all the scraps from my carving onto a piece of paper to throw it away and walked back to the box to take it back to the woman putting it on her desk and she looked up from a book she’s reading and sat up “It looks… beautiful” she told me picking the box with a smile and I smiled at her pulling a rectangular box from my bag to get a 1885 Italian rocking chair “I make these things but in a bigger scale” I told her and looked at the doll sized chair with wide eyes then looked up at me asking me how old am I “Fifteen, turning sixteen on February 22” I told her with a shrug and she smiled “Keep them, I’ve got a lot back home” I smiled at her and she nodded thanking me and I walked out of the room with my bag and box of carving tools to head off to the subway station…

            I arrived home alone with my backpack over my shoulders and walked inside the building to walk towards the kitchen making southwest chicken burrito bowl for mom knowing how she likes to stay healthy throughout her work at the hospital, shrimp taco bowl for dad to eat while he’s at work then made iced Frappuccino for mom and iced dark coffee for dad so I could fill two bottles with cold water putting the other two drinks in mason jars with aluminum cover and metal straw and walked with them up to my room getting dressed in a one buttoned beige blouse, black knee high skirt and black pump heels and I picked my handbag that I had with me yesterday to take it with me out of the house taking the drinks, lunch boxes with the food and my bottle of water…

            I walked out of the subway station and walked the rest of the way to company dad works in and saw three men waiting for the front desk secretary to let them through to the CEO and I pulled my phone out ‘Adrian Knight is in your building-Eve’ I sent the message to dad and put my phone back in my pocket waiting behind them with a monotonous expression on my face looking around the office till I saw the elevator open showing dad and a few other employees walking out and dad walked towards us “Good afternoon Mr. Knight” dad greeted one of the three men who shook hands with dad “Follow me gentlemen” dad told the three who nodded “Eve, you’re coming with me and Caroline, wait for our call” dad told me and I nodded walking with him and the three men to the elevator not giving the front desk assistant a glance and dad put a hand at the low of my back while he talked to the other men…

            I stood up from the chair in front of dad’s office while he is inside with his boss and the three men talking business, so I walked towards the man sitting opposite dad’s side and he looked up at me with a small smile “Hi” I greeted him nervously and he greeted me back not removing the professional look off of his face “Could you do me a little favor?” I asked him which made him sit up telling me that it depends “On?” I asked him again “On what that favor is” he continued and I nodded “Well…” I started pulling dad’s food and drinks from the bag to put it on the man’s desk “I just want you to give these to him when he gets out” I told him closing the bag and he looked at the food and drinks “I can’t kid, he told me to keep you here” the stranger told me and I nodded “I know, but I need to deliver the same thing for mom” I explained to him pulling the box and cold drinks from my bag and he looked at them with confusion “Who are you exactly?” he asked me “Eve, Evangeline Smith” I told him with a small smile and he nodded telling me that I’m dad’s daughter “Youngest one, yes” I nodded “Well, okay, fine. But he’s not going to like it” the man told me and I nodded “I know, I’ll be home by the time he’s done here since I kind of forgot my school work back home” I told him with a smile “I promise, you won’t regret it” I assured him and he nodded telling me to go “Thank you” I smiled before rushing out of the room and building…

            I walked towards the front desk assistant of the hospital mom works in and she looked up at me with a smile greeting me “Hi, could you give this Dr. Natalie Smith?” I asked her pulling out the food and drinks to put them on the table and the woman took them from the table to put them beside her asking me who should she tell her that they’re from “Evangeline, Evangeline Smith” I told her with a smile and she nodded “I will dear. Anything else?” she nodded smiling at me “No, thank you” I shook my head and she nodded smiling at me and I walked out of the building heading off home…

I arrived back home removing my heels from my legs as I stepped on the grass of our front yard and sighed walking to the front door of my house to walk towards my bedroom getting dressed in my pajamas and putting my hair in a high messy bun then got my backpack to sit on my desk which is facing the window that is directly in front of the neighbor’s window but I didn’t take this to my advantage as I just opened and unlocked the windows and curtains letting some air and sun in before it goes away so I could get my textbooks, notebooks, IPod and headphones out and start working on printing out the pages that we’ll be taking this semester from the textbooks and work sheets while I pulled out my laptop from my beside table drawer to turn it on and open a whole new document and I started rewriting my class notes, staple and highlight the important things that I took today in class while adding some information from the now printed out textbook pages onto my clean notes if needed, and work on doing my assignment…

Jones’ POV:

            I arrived home thanks to my new friends from work with my eldest daughter Anastasia and got out of the car with her bidding my friends a goodnight and promising them that we would hang out some day to walk inside the building letting Anna in with me right behind her “Evangeline, we’re home” I called out to my second daughter but I didn’t hear any response or any shuffling to indicate she’s around and I walked upstairs putting my bottles and lunch box on the counter on my way to the stairs “Ava” I called out to her and opened the door to her room about to call her again but stopped when I saw her working on her assignments and she pulled her headphones out to look at me with confusion that turned into a smile and she paused the music to run towards me pulling me in a tight hug “Oh” I chuckled hugging her back with a smile “I miss you too baby girl” I whispered to her with a kiss to the cheek and she grinned up at me making me laugh “What have you been up to today?” I asked her and she shrugged pulling me to her desk “Nothing much, I made lunch for both of you and mom, printed out the chapters and pages from my textbooks to not have a heavy bag every day, and now, I’m working on what I’m asked to do” she explained to me patting the printer when she mentioned the chapters and pages “I’m proud of you for doing all this, but I still need to talk to you about what happened at school today and what you gave our neighbor” I smiled at her and she nodded pulling out a foldable wooden chair from under the desk to sit down and I smiled sitting on the leather chair “I’m so proud of you for sticking up to your sister Ava, but did you really have to do that?” I asked her and she shrugged not seeing it as a big deal “No one messes with my family whether they’re part of it or not, no one” she told me leaning on the chair with her arms crossed and a deep frown on her lips and I nodded patting her lap “I know sweetie, and that’s why you’re not in trouble but please before you insult anyone or even beat them up, go talk to Michael” I told her and she looked at me with a nod “Correct me if I’m wrong, but is that man your childhood friend?” she asked me getting a nod from me as I chuckled telling her that she’s observant, especially when she’s mad “Mad is an understatement” she grumbled looking down at her lap making me chuckle “Come here you little vixen” I told her and she got up to sit on my lap “He still deserves it, he should know who he’s messing with before doing anything stupid” she whispered to me and I slapped the back of her head “This conversation is over missy…” I warned her but she cut me off “You don’t want to hear, see, or know that we talked about it. I know dad, you don’t have to tell me” she told me with a kiss to the cheek “That’s my girl” I praised her with a smile and she smiled hugging me “I love you dad” she whispered “I love you too Eve” I whispered to her standing up to let her sit on her chair while I folded the wooden one and put it back under the desk “I’ll let you finish your assignment” I told her and she nodded smiling up at me “We’re going to order some pizza for dinner, do you want something?” I asked her and she shook her head telling me that she’ll make Korean dinner since she’s not that hungry after her snack “Okay” I told her with a smile kissing her cheek then walked out of the room…
