The drive to the Stewart’s seemed much longer than twenty minutes. Evelyn passed out almost immediately, and in the silence Trevor had nothing to do but think. What was he going to do with this lady? He had just gotten things back on track with Bea, and now Evil Lyn was threatening it all. He had to think of some way to fix this, and soon.

As they approached the house, Trevor slowed down and shut off the headlights. They came to a stop at the end of the driveway—exactly where he and Bea first met. God, it seemed like years ago, not weeks.

Everything seemed quiet; no lights on and no cars in the driveway. He pulled up and killed the engine.

“Okay Evelyn. We’re here.” No response. “Wake up.” He repeated it a little louder and shook her shoulder.

She finally opened her eyes and sat up, “Where am I?” She looked at Trevor with alarm on her face, obviously not having a clue where she was.

The last thing Trevor needed was Evelyn causing a scene. He said in his calmest voice possible, “You’re at home. I drove you here. Do you need help getting into the house?”

She looked over at the house and realization seemed to set in. “Oh.” She started pulling at the car door handle and couldn’t get it open.

“Do you need some help?” he asked.

“No, no…I’m fine.” Suddenly the door swung open, and she fell out, right onto the pavement. If the whole situation wasn’t so serious, he would be laughing his ass off. Mr.T, if you could only see me now.

Trevor ran around to the other side of the car and helped her off the ground as quietly as possible. Both of her arms were wrapped around his neck, the smell of her booze breath all over him.

“All right Evelyn, let’s go.” He slowly began leading her up the driveway. She probably only weighed ninety pounds but it felt like much more. The entire way, she pulled down on his sweatshirt and dragged her feet while rambling off garbled apologies.

They finally made it to the front door and he pulled out her keys. The second key he tried worked and the lock clicked.

He just had to get her in the house and this nightmare would be over. But what Trevor didn’t realize, as he pushed open the heavy front door, was that the biggest nightmare awaited him on the other side.
