Realistic or Modern Last Summer

[DaManofWar]

"Eve," Gabe told her, "they were both drunk last night. They didn't mean for anything to happen. At all." Gabe sighed heavily. Of it came down to it, he would take the fall for his friends. No matter what.

 

[killingxtime]

Oliver instantly wrapped his arms around Eve, holding her gently. He rested his chin on top of her head and swayed back and forth. He closed his eyes and sighed quietly. "This is all my fault.. All I do is fuck everything up, I should just leave." He thought as he bit the inside of his lip hard, trying to not get too upset himself. Seeing Eve like this was hard, he knows that he loves her and would do anything to make her happy so this.. this is mentally killing him. "I really don't remember everything that happened, but whatever it was. I regret it." He smiled slightly, "But hey, you're still beautiful even when you cry." He chuckled softly, trying to lighten the mood. He just wants Eve to be happy, that's all he ever wants.

 

[DaManofWar]

Gabe had had enough. "Dammit, Oliver, it was my fault! I'm the one who screwed up! Don't blame yourself."

 

[killingxtime]

Oliver opened his eyes and looked over at Gabe, while still keeping himself wrapped up in Eve. "Hm? What are you talking about, Gabe?" As he talked he moved his chin off of Eve's head, quickly replacing it after he had finished his sentence.

 

[DaManofWar]

Gabe blew air out of his nose. "Put it simply, Eve can tell you." He waved a hand at her, telling her to go on. "I didn't do enough."

 

[killingxtime]

Oliver pulled away from Eve and looked down at her, once again wiping her tears Before anything else. "What is it Eve?" He looks at her worriedly.

As soon as Ollie wrapped his arms around her, Eve stepped a nudge closer, comforted by the warmth of his body. He was taller then her by a few inches, so the top of her head served as a resting place for his chin. Beginning to calm down more and more by the second, Eve reopened her eyes at the sound of Gabe's voice, no longer crying. She took a small step back from Oliver, so she could look up at him without their faces being too close.


"Tom confessed his feelings for me last night," Eve murmured softly, her blue eyes watching Ollie for any sort of reaction. She continued to speak, glancing away for a moment as she recalled the upsetting memory.


"And that's when you got very angry. You two started fighting, and then you punched Tom. I don't remember much else, because I fainted soon after." She admitted with a quiet whisper, looking back towards him. Oliver obviously didn't remember any of this, or else she wouldn't be telling him this in the first place. The only thing that really worried Eve was the possibility of Oliver getting angry again, and lashing out at Tom, restarting the cycle all over.


"Please, don't be angry at him. I didn't know either until he told me." Eve explained, beginning to look worried again as she waited for Ollie's reaction to all of this.

 

[killingxtime]

Oliver sighed, running a hand through his messy locks. Tom likes Eve, Tom likes Eveeee.. wait.. does she like him back? He snapped out of his thoughts and looked down at her, "oh.. well then I guess he beat me to it. Heh." He smirked slightly, trying not to feel betrayed by Tom and trying hard to not show in his face that he's severely hurt by Tom, his heart dropped as he began speaking again. "Do you..." He let his words fall flat, not exactly wanting to know the answer. He loves Eve and has for God knows how long. He studied the expression on her faces, she looks.. worried. But why? Worried about me hurting Tom? About me being upset? Or for her feelings back?.. His mind was going a million miles per hour, he just kind of looked down with a blank expression on his face, trying to let his mind settle.

Gabe spoke up. "That party was too short," he said, "we should have another one. To make up for it. And I have an idea for it." Gabe smiled slily. Then he scratched the back of his head. "I should have taken Tom to bed before he could tell you, Eve. I'm sorry."

Paeyton drove out of the garage and parked it near the door, she walked back in to figure out what was taking so long, she went upstairs. "Ready to go to the hos.." she looked up stopping mid sentence, she didn't want to interrupt them, she didn't know exactly what they were doing "I'll be downstairs" she said quickly and turned around and went back downstairs

 

[Reine]

Ales slid out of bed, her feet hitting the cold floor with a soft noise. She was confused as to why she wasn't in bed at first, until remembering absolutely everything. It was like a blow to the head. She got up and went to the bathroom, brushing her teeth before making any important decisions.

 

[DaManofWar]

Gabe sighed. "You know what? Just go, Oliver," he told him. "I gotta check on something." Gabe left the room, and poured himself some ceral for breakfast. When he finished, he put away his bowl and spoon, and walked over to Ales's room. He knocked on her door.

 

[Reine]

Ales hurried to her door and opened it just a bit. "Hullo-? Oh. Hey Gabe." She smiled and opened the door to let him in if he wanted. "What's up?"

[DaManofWar]

Gabe sighed, and walked into Ales's room. "Well," he began, "a lot. Oliver and Tom probably don't remember much, but Eve just told Oliver. I begged her not to, but she did it anyway." Gabe ran his hand over his face. "I mean, what happens when Tom wakes up?" Gabe paused. "Uh...about you and Tom..."

Eve was utterly relieved Oliver hadn't reacted the way she thought he would. Unless of course, he was hiding how he really felt behind that smirk of his. He began to ask Eve a question, but cut himself off mid-sentence, and simply stared down at the floor with a blank expression. She had a feeling she knew what that question was, despite him not asking it fully.


"Do I like him back?" Eve seemed to finish his sentence, looking up at him. It was a question she knew the answer to, and it was that exact answer that was going to hurt Oliver no matter how hard she tried to prevent it. Paeyton came up at one point, but Eve was so focused that she barely noticed her appearance.

 

[killingxtime]

Oliver sighed and nodded, "To be honest, I don't want to know the answer though.." He flashed her a half assed smile. Paeyton had come upstairs and said something about the hospital, Oliver noticed he still wasn't fully dressed and threw on a pair of shorts. "I should.. I should probably go now.. My hand isn't going to fix itself." He looked up at Eve as he grabbed a pair of raggedy converse, putting them on quickly, just tucking the shoe strings in because he can't exactly tie them. "Youre more than welcome to come if you wanna, you don't have to.. I'm just saying."

[Reine]

"About us." She echoed, shifting her weight nervously. "I think they have to get that settled on their own. I can't help them now. But Tom and I. I have to do something about that." Ales smiled a bit, not genuinely. "I guess I'll tell him about that tonight. Until then, we are... I don't know. What do you want to be?"


@DaManofWar

 

[The Velveteen Rabbit]

Eve nodded slowly, deciding not to tell him her answer. She stood there silently as he tied his shoes, not knowing what to say. When he invited her to come with him and Paeyton to the hospital, Eve perked up, and nodded.


"I'll go with you. Let me go get my shoes first and I'll meet you in the van." Eve flashed him a small smile before turning around, and walking towards her room. Eve looked a bit lost in thought as she snatched up a pair of sandals and quickly slipped them on. She brought her purse with her, including her phone, in case Annie or someone else texted her and wondered where she was.

 

[killingxtime]

Oliver smiled and made his way downstairs to where Paeyton was. "I'm ready to go, we just have to wait for Eve. Then we can leave and get this fixed." He lifted his hand up and smirked, his hand looked significantly worse. The swelling had increased and so had the deep purple color. He looked over at his hand, and scrunched up his nose. "Gross.."

 

[Tsiwentiio]

"Okay, the faster we get to the hospital the better" Paeyton said looking at his hand, she walked out of the house and got in the Escalade. She had no clue what everyone else was doing, hopefully they wouldn't be too long at the hospital.

[killingxtime]

Oliver nodded and stood at the end of the steps, he yelled up to Eve, "Hey Eve, hurry up please, darling." He then follows Paeyton out the door, he got in the passenger side and shut the door. He leaned back and sighed, running his hand through his hair.

After grabbing her purse and putting on her sandals, Eve began to make her way out, until she heard Oliver yelling up at her.


"Coming!" Eve called back to him softly, running down the stairs and following after him. The bright sun immediately welcomed her as she stepped outside, warming her skin. She smiled slightly, enjoying the feeling for a brief moment before walking up to the Escalade and climbing in. Eve sat in one of the back seats, setting her purse down right beside her. She caught a glimpse of Ollie's hand, noticing how purple it had become, and a look of concern immediately appeared on her face.


"That looks really bad..." Eve murmured quietly, biting her lip.

 

[Lurker]

Tom's eyes snapped open, and he sat up quickly in his bed. He had been having a dream where he was fighting Oliver. For one blissful moment, Tom felt fine. Then the hangover and pain washed over him. he groaned loudly, nearly falling out of the bed. He moved his hands to cradle his pounding head. What the hell happened to me? Why do I feel like I just got run over by a bus four times? Tom's felt like he had a migraine and his face really, really hurt for some reason. Well, maybe there's some medicine in the bathroom. The nerd eventually pushed himself out of bed, his knees shaking with the effort of holding him up. He held on to the wall, making his way towards the bathroom. He saw his reflection in the mirror, gasping in horror.


Thomas had the biggest, puffiest black eye he'd ever seen. The eye was actually about halfway swollen shut. Tom fell forward, grabbing the bathroom counter for support. "Wh-What happened to me? Gah...My head hurts too much for this. I'm just gonna go find someone to ask." Thomas stumbled away from the bathroom, the painkillers forgotten. Once he opened the door, he walked over to hang on the railing, looking down at the living area. The nerd saw no one so he decided to just shout. "Can anyone explain to me why I look like I just got in a prize fight and lost!? Badly!?" The shouting caused his head to hurt more, making him wince. Ugh. Loud noises. Bad idea.

 

[killingxtime]

Oliver looked at his hand, "it feels as bad as it looks." He tried making his hand into a fist, with no avail. His fingers twitched causing him to wince in pain. He leaned his head back, "I swear to god, I'm too damn sober for this.." He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to distract himself from the newly founded pain that had shot through his hand. He looked back at Eve and gave her a slight smile, he was in so much pain but didn't want to show her that he was. Telling her he was in pain was something completely different than showing her, and it might kill him to see those pale eyes cry again so for now, he'll pretend he's okay mentally and physically until he either gets so drugged up that he stops caring or he just stops caring in general.

Gabe walked up to Ales, and took her hand. He smiled at her. "What I would like us to be," he said quietly, "is boyfriend and girlfriend. What about you?" Gabe asked her that last part out of curiosity. What did she want?
