a closed starter for @hallucinatc ft callie & evan!
Callie was nervous about this whole thing. To everyone else, it was her sister’s boyfriend trying to get into the little sister’s good graces by inviting her and her friends to hang with the band. But to Callie? It was so much more than that. She was still filled with unresolved feelings for Evan, and she didn’t really know what she was supposed to do about it. It felt wrong, to come here under such false pretenses. The more she saw him, whether it was when Jessa brought him around, or the regular ice cream dates they seemed to be having lately, the more she fell for him. Her heart swelled at the sight of him, and she was a little too focused on him during the entire evening. She was doing her best to control herself. She could be good. This was her sister’s boyfriend. It didn’t matter what she felt. At least, that’s what she tried to tell herself. Except then she found Evan’s eyes on her for a moment too long, or his hand brushing against her thigh just slightly as they sat next to one another. It was the longing looks, the subtle touches, his sweet words. All of it was becoming too much for her. Abruptly, despite her friends being there and his whole damn band, she stood up from her seat, and gave a vague excuse to allow herself a few moments alone. Everyone kinda shrugged her off, and when she felt like she wasn’t going to get questions, she moved out of the room and down the hallway a little ways. Her hands ran over her face, letting out a long sigh. He was close enough to touch but she knew she couldn’t touch him... Not there. Not in that room in front of all those people. But out here? It was quiet out here, this seemed like a better option. So Callie tugged her phone from her pocket to send him a quick text, hoping he wouldn’t ask questions.
