POV-Evelyn

365 days since my heart broke, 1 year since the absolute worst day of my life.

I lay sprawled out in bed my legs hanging off the end as I watch the clock tick forward to 12 Am. it's officially the anniversary of the worst day of my life. A strand of my dark brown hair falls into my eyes and I attempt to blow it out of my eyes but fail miserably.

I groan and flip over onto my back looking up at my fan spinning around in continuous circles, a headache starts almost instantly at the thought of him.

On this day one year ago Logan Smith played with and used my heart for the last time, never again would I fall for it.. the lies the deception how someone could love you one day and deceive you the next. It was a game I had realised a game of who could break me first and he had done it. Quite well if I remember correctly.

// 1 Year Ago\\

January was always my favourite month since I was a child, the way the snow fell like small crystals melting as they made contact with skin.

Not anymore though, now it was hell as the cold would come, it would bring ice storms. Cars would get stuck power would go out. It wasn't beautiful and clear anymore.

Logan and I had just decided to move in together and were looking for our own apartment, it was our weekly 'chill night' during which we'd order in and pick either some cheesy or really scary movie to watch they were my favourite night of the week.

I opened my car door and grabbed the Chinese take out boxes and stacked  them on top of each other locking my car and heading for the front door.

During my years of high school I was the school outcast the loner geek who had barely any friends. Logan was the jock with all the popular click and his blond bimbo Jesse. It wasn't long before I changed my life and everything turned around I started working out and wearing makeup getting the attention of most guys.

Logan noticed me to and broke it off with Jesse during senior year. One night at the end of the game I was sitting alone in the stands and Logan had just finished playing when he called out to me and asked me on my first ever date. I said yes of course and then my life changed.

I unlocked the door and stepped inside shaking the snow off my books before pulling them off and padding into Logan's house heading for the kitchen. I stopped and listened when I heard people laughing. It sounded like a group of Logan's immature friends.

I rolled my eyes but didn't think anything of it, he had is friends over constantly always making fun of me or whatnot.

I was about to continue into the kitchen when I heard my name, "so Logan you're still going strong with Loren then? "  All the guys laughed at that.

Logan scoffed, "eh, it's fine I guess. How long should I keep the act up?  This wasn't supposed to go on for as long as it has" Logan said seeming irritated.

"Logan bro, this was your decision to keep this going, I thought you would have done it during prom by you chickened at the last second," one of Logan's friends said.

My brows furrowed and I placed  the Chinese food on the ground, and slide down the wall tears brimming my eyes.

"I couldn't do it then, it would make my look like a total tool you know how much I needed prom king" Logan said making excuses for his messed problems.

His friends laughed.

"Ill do it soon though before this gets too serious... she wants to move in now" Logan said groaning.

"You have her whipped bud, she'll be pissed"

"I know, I know," he said,  "this joke has gone on long enough, I need to end it soon"

Anger filled me, and I stand wiping away the tears which have escaped, not letting him see me cry. I turned away and pulled on my boots angrily then grabbing my jacket. I swing the door open, it hits the wall echoing through the house.

"Shit" I heard Logan say.

I didn't waste a second as I ran out of that  house and ran towards my car, I dropped my keys and cursed under my breath as all my emotions caught up to me I collapsed into the snow. I heard footsteps run to the door and stop.

I looked up tears staining my face, Logan stood there his face scrunched up looking like he could feel my pain, he could never understand my pain.

I grabbed my keys and pushed myself off the ground running the rest of the way to my car before unlocking the door and getting inside.

I sat there for a minute staring at Logan as all his friends came racing behind him, he stood there void of emotion now, his beer long forgotten dropped in the snow as he takes a few steps out of the house and onto the snow covered driveway.

I pulled out of that driveway so fast and raced down the street to get as far from him as possible.

It wasn't far enough.

//Present day\\

I splash water in my face trying to get myself to think about anything else. After that I had gone home and packed my stuff. I had nothing left for me there where he was. I was an only child and my parents where always away I think they were traveling in the Galápagos Islands and had decided to live in Hawaii for a few years.

I only had Logan and when that was gone I wanted nothing with this place. So after packing up everything with my mind reeling in never wanted him to be able to find me. So I made the drastic choice to also change my name as well as move cities.

I legally changed my from Loren Jensen to Evelyn Clark. So he wouldn't be able to find me. And now I live in my small apartment, depressed as hell and barely living.

I slip on some slippers because my apartment had barely any heating so it was always freezing. I head back into the bath room and stare at myself, my bloodshot eyes, the dark bags still containing all my fears and sadness. The bags were way more obvious since my pale skin was more pale from not living properly living.

I head into the kitchen and open the fridge looking for a late night snack since it was around 2 in the morning.

Nothing I had nothing in the fridge or the cupboards, I groan and slam the fridge door closed.

I pull on my jacket and my boots grabbing my keys before leaving my apartment heading towards the 24hour food mart.

I park my car and step it into the windy cold as the snow flakes hit my cheek and melt instantly.

After getting groceries I stop off for a coffee because I know that  I would not be getting any sleep for awhile.

I get my coffee and sit at a nearby booth, I sip it slowly and realise it's so quiet and that there's only two other people in here not including the waitress.

They both turn to look in my direction.

I look down at my coffee and stand up slowly not looking back as I walk out and towards my car.

'What creeps'  I think to myself.

My hands fiddle with the keys since it's so fricken cold out here.

A hand covers my mouth and a silent scream escapes me I drop my coffee and my keys as I get pulled away from my car and towards wherever I'm getting taken to.

They duck tape my mouth closed and I get spun around to face them, one waves at me as the other pulls out a syringe, I squirm and try screaming before he jabs it into my arm and everything goes dark.
