Chapter 6 - Avoiding Your Gaze

Eden was determined to stay locked in her room all day, she turned on the tv and decided to watch stranger things. Eden heard grumbling sounds from her stomach, shockingly it was way past breakfast and no one came to get her. "Where is everyone" she mumbled to herself, she got up and walked to the door, slowly unlocking it and turning the nob. She tiptoed down the stairs to see the living room empty, "Mom,dad", she yelled out, Elizabeth(their maid), no one's home, she said to herself as her stomach growled again.

She went into the kitchen and heated up some pancakes she saw in the island and ate it with syrup, "I'm full now, I should go back upstairs, she said rubbing her stomach with a wide smile, when her smile suddenly faded. What are you doing here, she asked without looking up at him, I've been her the whole time, he said with a small smile, I've missed you, he said as he tried to go closer but she stepped back, his face dropped, your mom told me to come over since no one's home. She looked up with a hardened gaze, still looking everywhere but at him, you mean you've been here the whole time, yes, after what happened yesterday I figured you'd need some time after what happened yesterday, I'm…

She nudged him to the side and ran up the stairs cutting him off, she jumped into her bed sobbing, I can't do this anymore I just can't, she said in between sobs, she sat up and wiped her tears and took a deep breath. I have to get out of here, yes, she stomped into the closet brought out her box and started packing her clothes when she heard a soft knock on the door, baby, I'm coming in, said Louise in a calm voice. She came out to see the one who didn't hesitate to kill her looking all innocent in her room, this made her blood boil, she started cackling abruptly, "Eden what's wrong" he asked keeping his distance, she continued laughing ignoring him pulling at her hair and bursted into tears, oh my gosh Eden, he rushed and held her by her shoulders trying to calm her down.

She let out a piercing scream which made him back up, no don't come near me, she kept on yelling and crying, babe let's just talk this out please, your scaring me, he said offering her his hand close to tears. She laughed louder this time, you wanna know the problem, she sniffled and wiped her nose with her hand, the problem is you, she said pointing at him, you. What did I do Eden, Is this because of yesterday, I'm so sorry, I thought that was what you wanted, I love you so much and you turned 18 an and you were kissing me so I thought that was what you wanted, he said stuttering and tearing up. Oh don't give me that bullshit, you'll be the death of me, you know, like literally, and you won't even remember your fake love for me. What do you mean Eden, I would never, I…, no please no more lies, she folded her hands in a pleading manner, Louise grabbed her hands, let go of me, she yelled and slapped him across the face, Louise looked at her in disbelief. I want to breakup with you, let's end this, no Eden please think about it, he begged, why, so you can kill me, no because I love you, and I know that you love me too, he said as a tear dropped down his face, I'm breaking up with you. Get out of my house and never come back, she said still avoiding his gaze, Eden look me in the eye and say you don't love me, I said get out of my house, she screamed, or do you need security to carry you at, Louise looked at her hoping she'd change her mind but she just ignored him so he turned and left.

Eden, called a warm female voice, Eden jumped out of bed and ran towards her, Eve, she said as she enveloped her in a hug sobbing. What's wrong Eden, Eve said when they both sat on the bed, why would you break up with him, did he call you, no need to yell, he just thought you'd need a friend, well he thought right I missed you, Eden said as he hugged you again. Eve giggled, I'm glad I was missed, but tell me why, you love him and he loves you, oh my gosh can I get a break, I don't wanna hear that word for a while, okay my bad, but would you please tell your bestie why you broke up with him. She lay down and put her head on Eve's lap and sniffled, easy, because he'd be the death of me literally, what do you mean he'd be the death of you, I mean he'll kill me Eve, wha what do you mean, he'd never, you think you know people, but the truth is you know the person they want you to see, can you like exp…

Eden, Louise come down for dinner, called her mom from downstairs cutting Eve off, hey mom, hi mrs king. What, why are you coming down with Eve, where's Louise, we broke up, she replied bluntly, what, you guys looked so happy yesterday what happened, nothing, I just decided to break up with him, but so abruptly. I don't wanna talk about it mom, just please never invite him here again, okay dear sit down and eat.
