Sugar and Spice
Village Party
Evie hesitantly pulled the blankets down. She took a deep breath before closing the gap between them with a slight touch of her shoulder. Her right hand grasped his hand. "It's embarrassing..." She squeezed Al's hand. "I was jealous of Aki, and Alex too. We'd just finally got on the same page when the whole thing with Matt went down. When it came to Alex, at the hospital, I couldn't do anything for you. She was with you the whole time. All I could do was watch. And though I know Alex liked Matt I couldn't help but think, with you both finding comfort in each other there wasn't room for me. Then Matt is now-- well I guess-- Matt is back and with Alex. And I'm sick and even after you so kindly offered to help me, your attention was easily taken by Aki. I couldn't help but wonder what other girls you entangle you concerns with when I'm not around. I know I'm probably bothering you with these thoughts and I'm sorry but I hate the idea of someone taking you away..." With her other hand she pulled at the collar of the over-sized shirt she was wearing to let some cool air in.
