Fighting For Family

Chapter 5

No one's POV

Evangeline was scared sitting in front of the toilet. Her mind was racing but as fast as her heart was. Taking deep breaths seem to always help and counting till she was calm. Inhale and Exhale. Inhale and Exh-

Knock. " Hey darling, are you okay in there?" That question brought Eva out of her thoughts. Eva couldn't help but think that she is not okay. She is broken from the inside and outside. There is nothing anyone can do to save her. She knows that the only person ever to help her is herself.

That's the bad part that she doesn't love herself. She hates herself for never being enough for anyone.

"I'm okay," She said getting up and flushing the bathroom. Before walking out she wipes her tears away. Oh, how Eva has wished for someone to wipe them for her. To tell her to not give up. To keep fighting. In reality, no one has ever and never will. With those thoughts, she steps out of the bathroom stall. With a fake smile on her face.

Lily couldn't help but stare at her daughter. Her daughter Eva is finally back. If only Lily knew that these moments like this were limited. She smiles at her before placing her palm on her back and gently saying, "Let's go. Everyone must be worried." Eva only nodded her head.

Back at the table, the boys were worried yet calm. "She needs her time. Let it be, your sister has a lot going on right now, boys." Alec told their sons. "Well at least she back home, right" Yeah the boys replied. "Maybe she is on her period. That's why mom and her are taking their time.", Ayton said a bit overwhelmed. Ian, Paker, and Dallas nodded knowing that girls could take hours in the bathroom talking about anything, taking pictures, or about anything. They had been with girls to know that if mom is taking her time with Eva then they're probably talking about ladies' stuff.

" We should buy chocolate," Dallas said, " Girls like that when they're on their period."

" Ice cream as well," Parker said.

Their father just rolled his eyes and continue to eat before saying. "Boys, if anything I know is that if it's about lady talks then Eva will obviously go to your mother. And if she ever needs something she just has to ask and I'll get anything." The boys nodded and continue to eat their food thinking that everything is fine.

Soon the ladies made their way out of the bathroom. When they sat down Eva was received with smiles from her father to the youngest boy of the family.

Eva looks at her plate unsure if she should eat or not? With a shaky hand, she took the spoon and slowly thought of what she should pretend to eat. Chicken is a big no. The fries, she hasn't had fries for a long time but they're greasy. So the only option was the rice. Here comes nothing. Eva brought the spoon close to her lips, parting her lips a bit she took a small bit. Taking her time to swallow and taste the amazing taste of the rice.

That's how it went taking little bits of rice. Then take a break to drink water. Moving her food around the plate.

With every bite, she would think about the calories and numbers going inside of her body. Eva had only taken a few more bites before cleaning her mouth with the napkin. Putting the spoon on the plate she slumps herself into her seat wishing to disappear.

Dallas couldn't help but wonder what is going inside of Eva's little head. Taking a glance at her, he notices that she only ate a little amount of rice. The rest she hadn't touch. He frowns at his sister, nudging his brother's side before nodding to Eva.

Ian was peacefully eating his food till his amazing brother ruined it by nudging his side. He looked at his brother giving him a questionable look and notice that Dallas was looking at Eva. Ian himself looking at his baby sister then at her plate and saw that she had barely touched any of her food. " Hey Eva" Ian waited for Eva to look at him before continuing, " Is there something wrong with the food?"

Eva spoke slowly, " No. I'm full."

That little question and answer had gotten the attention of the rest of the family members. Each of them wondering Why and What is going on? Is their little Eva not happy? Does she not like the food?

Eva's POV

Numbers, big numbers, calories, the rice, the flavors, big and small bites. Those are my thoughts, I am trying to get them out. But they can't. I won't be okay till I throw up.

"Does anyone want dessert?" Alec said. I shook her head. All that I want is to get out. I don't like the attention and mostly from the people at the tables near them. " I think it's time that we go now. We can get a snack on the jet." Being the first to get up not caring if I seem to be rude at the moment.

After, "father" paid for the meals we left and got in driving.

The silence of the car is killing me. I know that if I open my eyes I would be making eye contact with them, which is not happening.

Deciding that sleeping is the best option to avoid conversations, I let my body fall asleep.

Time to skip. Eventually, they make it to their jet. Her father picks her up and lets her sleep in one of the rooms in the jet.

I clung my body closed to the soft thing that was covering me. Stuffing my face into the soft fabric that smelled like vanilla. Opening my eyes I notice that I was not in the car. Instantly I start to panic. I look down and see that I'm in a bed.

"Was I kidnapped?" I ask myself in disbelief.

"No silly"
