Eva was always a spritely child when she was younger. An energetic kid who just loved living in her worlds of make believe. Fairy tales of Prince Charming and magic and heroes who always win. It was this childhood naivety that made her not see the darker side of her reality. From what she could remember of her dad, he was always a little eccentric, a little silly. Looking back, it was definitely the vodka he knocked back before 10am every morning but to the sweet little girl, he was just her dad. That was until her mum decided to sign him in to rehab when Eva was 8 and her dad basically disappeared from her life without warning. During his time in rehab, he met a widow from the local church who volunteered there and basically acted like she âsavedâ him. He entirely left Evaâs mum and started a new life raising this other womanâs kids. For a long time, it was just Eva and her mum which hurt Eva a lot when she found out the truth. The innocence of a child dwindled quite a bit following this event.
After 6 years of radio silence from her dad, he suddenly appeared at the school gates to talk to her. Eva, although angry, found herself craving wanting her dad back in her life. He began inviting her to meals with his new family which did more harm than good for Evaâs psyche. Watching him play happy families with another family - another family who saw Eva has an outcast that didnât belong. When things would go south, her dad would buy her things to try and make up for it. That is the extent of their relationship. He tries to be a dad and fails, she gives him another chance every time because all she wants is a dad, he gives her presents and money to try and buy her love and the cycle continues.Â
At 16, the guy sheâd always had a crush on in school asked her out on a date. They dated for two months when he invited her to the school dance which she gladly went to with him. She really felt like she was in love so when he invited her back to his, she made the decision to let him take her virginity. Well... he got what he wanted and ended it with her next day and started to make moves on to the next girl. All he wanted the whole time was sex and he got it. The worst part was: her complex to make the same mistake. When she went to argue with him about how shitty that move was, they slept together again... and again... and again. The cycle continued until he left school in senior year. It was a blessing and a curse. The blessing was the end of the cycle. The curse was her new found mistrust in men.
When Eva met Connor, Jesus, that Scottish accent really was a weakness but she didnât give in. He was doing everything to get in to her pants and she wasnât giving him it then he tried a new approach: be a friend. âIâll biteâ. She was friends with him for nine months where they got to actually know each other as people and when she felt like she trusted him, she kissed him. Pretty quickly they were dating in a whirlwind romance for almost a year when they went to France. His family had an estate out there and that was where he proposed to her. In an instant, Eva said yes. Of course she did. She loved him. A week in to their engagement, he was driving them in the countryside when he took his eyes off the road. A car came hurtling towards them and at the last second, he drove off the road and in to a river. Eva ended up in a coma for two weeks and when she woke up, the first person she asked about was Connor. Thatâs when she found out heâd got out of the crash with a concussion and was out of the hospital. The nurse came back upon calling him to find out he hung up on the hospital after hearing the news. She called him but was being completely ghosted by him. The last contact she had from him was the payment of a large sum of money in to her bank account with only a âsorry xâ attached to the payment.Â
Evaâs injuries after the accident had led to surgery on her brain to reduce the swelling which was a success during her time in the coma. She also had a lot of problems with her legs so upon using Connorâs guilt money to get back to America, she started her rehabilitation to get strong her on legs again. Particularly, she gets a lot of pain in her knees which she takes pain medication for. Pain medications which she may or may not abuse. Although her pain is real, sometimes she starts to believe there is pain when there isnât and requires the pain meds as much as possible. This accident made her also decide to go and study something she always loved; baking. Baking was something she was always good at and one day she wants to open her own little bakery where she can sell cupcakes and cookies. This is what led her to Monarch University all of four months ago where she started taking summer classes to get her ready for her first year of actual classes. Eva also started at the social sorority Alpha Chi Omega so she could be around people and have a sense of friendship from the get go. She got herself a job at Yorkâs as a makeup artist as well as joining the show choir to keep up with her singing. Another passion of Evaâs. She writes her own songs but itâs something she doesnât show off too often. Unlike how wary she had been in the past when it came to her body and sex life, Eva is pretty much living her hot girl summer and choosing not to care about relationships and love. Who needs it?!
