Everything has to be fine || Open Para
She needed to breathe.
That was supposed to be a fun day, a day of smiles, but Evelyn could only feel a cold shiver go through her body. And not even being near Roman made her feel safe because that feeling got inside of her and rested on her bones. And she knew she wasn't the only one feeling it. Something was off and it was impossible that she was the only one noticing it.
And they weren't on the best of days either, Roman and her, it was like every little thing made them argue and that hurt her, even if she tried to ignore it. Because besides everything... He was her friend. And she cared. So when they got there, she was smiling, like always, brightly, sweetly... Even though inside all she wanted to do was find what the hell was wrong on that Ball. Not hide, not run, but fix it. Before something happened.
So she excused herself, saying she needed to go talk with an old friend, even though her mind screamed she needed air. Roman probably got that, but that was the purpose of him hearing thoughts. She took steady steps, the sound of her heels barely audible on the mess of loud voices and background music. But she managed to find her way outside, the cool air reaching her pale skin and embracing her.
'Don't be paranoid, everything is fine' she told herself as she looked up to the stars, sighing.
