Evelyn p.o.v.
»Evelyn?«
»Yes.«
»Evelyn Lopez?«
I had teary eyes by now.
»Ethan?«
The tears escaped. But they were happy tears. I couldn't stand anymore. The next thing I know Ethan was holding me and I was holding him like it was the matter of life or dead. I was crying now.
Someone behind me cleared their throat. Ethan let ge of me but he made sure I was still next to him hugging me with one hand. Looking away from him I saw a girl looking mad at me. Please God don't let Ethan be a man-w***e.
»Evelyin this is Grace, my girlfriend.« Thank God.
»Grace this id Evelyn. My sister.«
»Sister?«
»Yes.«
»I don't want to be rude but I thought your sister is dead.«
»I thought that too.«
»We both did.« I decided to step in.
»How are you alive then?« the question is narrowed at me.
»I wanna know that too. How are you alive? Is dad alive to?«
»Yes dad is also alive. Until today I actually thought that me and dad were the only one that survived that fire.«
»No. All of us survived. How about we contunie this conversation during lunch with Jacob and Theo too? Or maybe you and dad could come over?«
»I would love that. Do you think they will recognise me? Are they here now?«
»No. It's just me. Theo wasn't feeling well. And Jacob stayed with him because mom couldn't. I'll take you to them after school and we will talk. Okay? «
»Okay. Take me to class now. Don't wanna be late on my first day even more.«
»Of course what's your first class?«
»English.«
»You have it with Jacob.« I grinned at him. Happy to have some classes with my brother.
