(Evans POV)

My fingers hover over my phone, questioning what to respond to him. I can either lie and risk the friendship or tell the truth and ruin it completely.

Is there a problem that I like- I delete that text and try to think of something else.

     Sorry wrong per- Before I could type the rest of it I ended up deleting that text. For god sake what could I say to him.

     I'm sorry for the way that I feel towards (Y/N), I just thought that enough is enough and that I need to man up and tell her how I feel. I sent the text and just stare at my phone now. He instantly sees it but doesn't type. Good probably for the best of things.

(Your POV)

     I felt a small bump and I quickly open my eyes up. The hallway slowly goes by as I realize I somehow get closer to my room. I shift my gaze slowly and see dad in his uniform carrying me. He looks in my direction but continues to walk. I close my eyes again as he walks into my room and gently lays me down on my bed.

     "I visited Hope, she's fine. Apparently that was her father. We caught him a couple houses away from hers." Dad says before sitting down at the foot of my bed. I slowly turn on my other side so my back is to him, my head not hurting as much as I thought it was going to. He sighs but doesn't get up from the bed.

     "You're just going to have a bump where you hit your head at, it's nothing serious trust me, but tomorrow I am going to take you to the doctor just to make sure." He says. Well, at least I get a day off from school.

     "You're not an EMT how would you know if I'm okay or not?" I ask, turning my head a little so I could look at him. He smiles while looking at the ground.

     "Well, you were already dropped once as a baby so I'm pretty sure another drop ISN'T going to kill you." He says, still laughing. I smile a little and try to hide it from him.

     "I don't know...... I was expecting what you did but it still kinda surprised me that you actually did it. What I wasn't expecting was how the part of the roof collapsed and could've killed you." He jokingly says. I turn again so I'm facing him now.

     "Hearing that from a police officer is actually kinda scary." We both share a laugh after that. A knock comes from the door and we both turn and look. Jess stands there with an ice pack and a bottle of water. She smiles at the both of us and hesitantly walks in.

     "You doing okay kiddo?" She asks me while walking to the other side of bed and handing me the ice pack before settling the water on the floor. I look at her confused and accept the ice pack, putting it behind my head and towards the spot where I can feel the bump at.

     "Why aren't you two mad at me?" I ask while looking back and forth between the two of them. Jess opens her mouth but dad beats her to it.

     "Cause we did the same exact thing when we were your age." He rolls up his right arm sleeve of his uniform to reveal his huge scar.

     I've been told this story a hundred times. Back in LA when he was a cop there, he said that there was a robbery at a liquor store and the robber slashed dad with the knife that he had. Luckily it didn't kill him because the cut was deeper than the paramedics expected. When I was a little it somehow reminded me of the game cops and robbers whenever he told me that story.

     "I snuck out when I was your age to go see an R rated movie with my friends and my room was on the second floor of the house that I used to live in. I ended up cutting it on the gutter when I dropped down from my window." He says while looking at his scar. I look at him confused.

     "I thought it was from a robber?" I ask him. He shakes his head no and unrolls his sleeve.

     "Only said that so you didn't turn out like a bad kid like me." He says. Jess and I laugh a little. I shrug my shoulders and sigh.

     "Well, get some sleep (Y/N)." Dad says before getting up off of the bed. I smile at him and nod my head.

     "If you need anything just yell and I'll be running in here." Jess says. I turn my attention to her and nod my head again.

     After they left the room I got into a comfortable position and closed my eyes. I grabbed the ice pack from behind my head and blindly put it on the nightstand. I quickly fell asleep shortly after.

     As if a couple seconds have passed I opened my eyes back up. The sun was almost completely down and stars were beginning to take over the sky. Something's not right, something is definitely not right. I turn my head just a little and see someone laying next to me on their phone. I throw the blanket over them and quickly roll off of the bed.

     "(Y/N)! CHILL THE FUCK OUT! IT'S JUST ME!" Wait..... is that Hope? The lamp on the nightstand turns on and I watch as Hope takes the blanket off of her head. I sigh and climb back onto the bed, stealing the blanket back from her.

     "What the hell are you doing here? It's like, what 9? 10 now?" I ask. She laughs quietly and shakes her head.

     "Try 8:45. Besides, Jess let me in after she saw me. Anyways, why I'm here. Dad told me what happened to you and I snuck out of my own house and ran over to Evans house, "stole" his moms car and got over here as fast as I could. Actually I didn't even really steal it, I asked Evan and he was cool with me taking it." She says with a smile on her face. I stare at her for a couple seconds before shaking my head.

     "After what happened a couple hours ago, I wouldn't of expected-" she puts her finger to my lips and shushes me.

     "Friends are more important than anything, besides if you would've died I wanted to see what your body looked like." She says. We both start to laugh quietly at that.

     "No I'm kidding, but I wanted to make sure that you were okay. Yes, what happened with...... the situation was very..... confusing....... but I put my needs aside and came here. To make up for being a bitch earlier." She says. I give her a side hug and stay like that.

     "I have no clue how he found me whatsoever. But when he came to my house and I smelt him, I knew something wasn't right. I'm just...... I don't want to talk about it anymore." She says quietly. I nod my head and give her a squeeze.

     "Well I'm glad that what you said earlier with Evan wasn't true than and that you were just mad at me." I say. She lets go of me so I do the same.

     "Yeah..... yeah....... sure." She says with a small laugh.
