Evan

I hear her speaking, but I still can’t believe it. Wildfire told me to meet her this morning instead of last night because of some emergency, but had I known this was what she was planning, I never would have stayed away. Then I would have had more time to figure out what the fuck is happening. I would have had more time to beg her to forgive me for whatever I did. But all I have are these words coming out of her mouth and I’m too insanely shocked and upset to have a rational thought about how to fix it.

“We need to each be our own person. I got caught up in the fairy tale like usual and when reality finally kicked in; I realized this isn’t what I want. You aren’t what I want. This is the best thing for both of us. You know that,” she states, matter of fact, handing me back her stage pass. I don’t take it.

“How can you stand there and lie right to my face,” I growl, trying my best not to punch something.

“It’s not a lie. I…”

“Stop! Why are you doing this?” I interrupt, my voice getting louder and louder.

“Evan, we need to head out,” Steve yells from across the room.

“Go, Evan. Break a leg tonight. Remember your friends when you get rich and famous,” she adds, smiling back to me.

I’m about to lose my shit in 3, 2, 1. “God fucking dammit!” I scream. The anger and aggression in my voice makes her take a step back. “I’m not your fucking friend,” I continue to yell. “I’m your goddamned Prince Charming. I’m your happily fucking ever after.” My words are only getting louder as I continue to yell, “I’m the man whose heart you are grinding into the ground. And I’m about to be the sucker who believes the words coming out of your mouth unless you tell me what the hell is going on with you right now.” Lowering my voice, I plead, “Please, Wildfire. Talk to me.”

“Evan, we need to go or we are going to miss our slot,” Steve urges, coming up behind me.

All my control is lost. “God dammit, Steve! We can leave in a fucking minute! I’m trying to save my life here!” I yell again.

I see a flicker of something in her face and I’m sure she is about to say this was all a sick joke, but instead, I hear, “Evan, Steve is right. You need to get to the show and live the life you wanted. There’s nothing left to say anyway. I wish you guys all the best and look me up if you ever come back to town.” She smirks. Smirks, like I’m some piece of trash she picked up off the street. But then again, that is what I am, isn’t it.

I scream so loud I may not be able to sing tonight. I woke up feeling like I had the world in my hands and now I have nothing.
