One On One with skinny love.

Cam nodded. "Yeah. Just scared for her."

A servant found Lucy and set the flowers by her bed. The noteexplained everything's. It also said how much he loved Howe and how much it hurt to know he hurt her. It ended by saying Evan would be in the treehouse for however long until she was ready.

Alli sighed and nodded. "I know you are." She kissed his cheek gently. "You did the right thing."

Lucy thanked the servant quietly, though she wasn't sure what the flowers and note were for. When she read the note, however, everything became so much more confusing. She desperately wanted to just run into his arms and forget about the entire thing, but she was also hurt, and that would likely take time to heal. She chewed her lip and read over the note again.

"I hope I did," he said.

Evan sat up in the treehouse, pacing and praying he'd see her pop through the door.

Alli nodded and kissed his cheek again gently to reassure him. "You did," she promised. "I know you care a lot about her, and you won't let anything happen to her."

Lucy contemplated it for a long while, but after a few minutes of thinking, she pulled out her phone and called Evan. Half of her hoped he'd pick up and half of her dreaded it.

Cam nodded. "Okay."

Evan answered, sounding just as scared as then he wad on the phone with Alli.

[twofrogsinacoat]

Alli rubbed his shoulder gently. "Do you need anything?"

Lucy ran her fingers through her hair as he answered. Her heart raced nervously in her chest. "Hey," she said quietly, trying not to let her voice give away that fact that she'd been crying. She ultimately failed though, considering her throat was tight and her voice was hoarse.

Cam shook his head.

Evan sighed. "Lucy I'm so sorry." He went on about his sorry he was and that he lived her with everything he had.

[twofrogsinacoat]

Alli nodded. "Okay. Do you want me to leave you alone, or would you rather have me stay?"

Lucy listened to him, tears welling up in her eyes again as he spoke. "Evan..." Her voice broke. "Evan, you kissed her. You hurt me."

[bibliophile;]

Cam pulled hee close. "Stay."

Evan sighed. "I didn't kiss her! She kissed me. I tried to push her away. I tried," he said. He was on his knees in the treehouse now, sobbing quietly against his phone. He didn't care who knew he was crying. He just wanted Lucy back.

[twofrogsinacoat]

Alli nodded and wrapped her arms around him again, snuggling into him. "Okay, then I'll stay," she murmured softly.

Lucy bit down hard on her lip until she tasted blood. "Evan..." she began, her voice cracking a bit. Why was this so hard? She squeezed her eyes shut and tilted her head back a bit. It was obvious that he was crying, and that made her want to cry. "Evan, I just don't know."
