" Why are you avoiding me, Ev? You usually tell me what's on your mind.. What did I do wrong?"/elfmcn

Evergreen had known that this confrontation was going to transpired sooner or later. She despised the pathetic hope she’s had; that it would rather be later than sooner. But now here he was, speaking his mind with sincere concern lacing his handsome features.
All fire she was usually ready to shoot towards him, be it in a serious or less serious way, was gone and left was a puddle of anxiety instead. She’d not even dared to converse about this subject with her best friends, and that even though they knew her best. They’d seen almost all of her.
“I’m not avoiding you. You’re imagining things.” Ever tried, she tried to stay strong and put on an indifferent face. But oh, how horribly she was failing right then and there. H u r t came to her face, caused by seeing Elfman in sorrow. They were bickering, always. Somehow, this had been natural for them ever since they had unconsciously begun to grow closer. And yet this time, it was different… It felt grave.
Not knowing what to say, not ready for this confrontation with him and her own struggles, Evergreen turned around sharply. With her back on him he wouldn’t be able to see how the inner turmoil came to surface and the female took a quick breath, gaze sticking to the floor. It was useless to pretend. It wouldn’t be fair either. And she didn’t want him to blame himself for something that had been entirely fine. So she just needed him to know one thing. “You… didn’t do anything wrong…”
‘But I’m doing everything wrong. I destroy everything I touch.’
Like stone shattering into thousand pieces…
She hated it, she hated it so much to feel like this and even more so that she didn’t have the courage to talk about it, to look Elfmanin the eyes and be sincere with him. Yes, she did have feelings for him. Then why was she constantly hurting him, why couldn’t she just say so? She was scared. “Excuse me, Freed and Bixlow are waiting for me…”
