She was not going to let go

They had not been back long before they were reunited with the others. Izzy seeing both Evie and Alec, though approaching her brother first to not give anyone any ideas or make them suspicious. However, she wasted no time before heading over to the slightly younger girl. The two embraced in what Izzy could describe as one of the best hugs she had ever received. 

"Thank the heavens that you're okay. I was so worried when you offered to stay behind. Your life means just as much as your sisters does." Izzy whispered her words so that only Evie could hear her. Evie responded by only pulling the girl closer and tightening her grip, a small sob leaving her mouth before she could stop it. Izzy was then able to move the pair quietly towards Evie's room. She opened the door, leading the ginger towards her bed, not before shutting the door, where they once again embraced. 

Evie attempted to control her sobs as she held onto Izzy as though her life depended on it. Sure this would be considered overdramatic in the eyes of others but just hearing those words from someone else meant the world to Evie. It gave her a slither of hope she might be able to remain in this world, that was as long as this goddess whom sat beside her remained in her life. When Evie had relaxed more, Izzy pulled away to look at her. She reached a thumb up to gently brush away the tears that glittered on Evie's face. 

"Evie, Evie look at me" Izzy coaxed almost as though she was talking to a young child. She had no intent to move or say anything else until the other girl looked at her. Once Evie looked into her eyes she continued to speak. 

Evangeline don't you ever think of yourself below any of us, especially your sister. Never think that we could do better off without you, okay. My brother needs you, Jace needs you, your sister may not admit it but she needs you. And boy do I need you. I know I would not know what to do without you so please don't ever purposely think about it happening." Izzy spoke as tears welled in her eyes, she didn't get to see the younger girls reaction for Evie's head was soon back in her own chest and her arms were tight around her. They stayed sat in the same position for what felt like a lifetime longer, though it only amounted to an hour. Izzy eventually went to move, only to receive a grunt in protest from the younger girl.

"Please don't leave me." Was the small whimper which left Evie's lips. Izzy complied without any hesitation. Perhaps this was because they had just had a heart to heart and had progressed to a new stage of friendship, or maybe it was because of the ever-growing feelings she held for the ginger. 

"I'll go get into my pyjamas and a change of clothes for the morning but I'll be right back" Izzy found herself promising. She had not meant to invite herself round for the night. But now she was here she was not going to let this opportunity slip. Izzy was not going to ruin the moment or the entire night bu leaving for more than five or so minutes. "I promise I'll be back in 5 okay?" Izzy stuck her pinky out to imitate a pinky promise and smiled when the ginger wrapped her pinky around her's sealing the promise. Izzy then rushed out of Evie's room and down the corridor only slightly to where her own was located. She picked out the nicest pair of matching pyjamas she could find and then began to rush through her wardrobe trying to find an outfit for the morning. Her mind was so focused on the task that she was unaware of someone entering her room whilst she zoomed through the clothing in her wardrobe. 

"So tell me dear sister, why are you in such a rush?" Spinning around at the sound of the voice she found Alec leaning against the wall with one eyebrow raised. Izzy only grunted as she continued to flick through her clothing trying to find anything she liked enough to wear.

"I'm spending the night in Evie's room and cannot find anything to wear. I promised her I would be back in five and that's soon coming to a close." Izzy whined as she pushed coat hangers side to side as quickly as she possibly could. 

"Lele huh? You know she'd like you in anything that would show off a little something" Alec's tone was teasing as he watched his sister's face turn red in embarrassment. Izzy quickly pulled out a pair of leather trousers and a body tight mesh panelled top. She picked up a random pair of black boots before getting her makeup bag and rushing Alec to the door. 

"Great chat bro, gotta dash!" She exclaimed before slamming her door shut and rushing back down the corridor she had come from not long ago and towards Evie's room. Izzy pushed the door open, apologising for taking longer than she had promised to. Only to find that Evie had not moved since she had left her and only made a sound upon her return. Izzy was surprised however, when she sat on the corner of the bed that Evie sat up and looked directly at her. She became even more surprised when Evie's arms once again worked their way around her and pulled her down onto the bed. Evie was definitely a hugger. 

The only time the two parted through the night was when they went to get changed or when one required the toiler. Most of the night was spent in each others arms as they talked quietly as though ever word they spoke was a secret only shared between the pair. As the night progressed they adjusted to a much more comfortable lying position though the bed was barely big enough for the two, they had no complaints.
