Rydel's p.o.v.
I am currently driving my light blue Volkswagen Beetle, Chubbs, to my boyfriend's house. I had promised Evan we would have a girls' day/night out. Although, she seemed to have cringed at the name of it when I first mentioned it. She never liked the idea of getting in touch with her feminine side. I blame that on the fact she has six brothers. I find it fascinating that Evan and I manage to get along. We are complete opposites. She wears black, I wear pink. She likes rock, I prefer pop. Regardless of us having nothing in common, I still think she's a sweet girl and needs almost an older sister figure in her life. I had also told her she can bring a friend, or two. I'm not sure who she's bringing, but I guess I'll find out. I forgot to mention to her that Laura is joining. As far as I'm aware, Evan and Laura have never met, but I do still wish I had remembered to mention it to her. I have the feeling Evan doesn't like meeting new people. I say that for the fact when Jordan first introduced me to his family, Evan had eyes set to kill. I smiled a bit to myself at the memory as I pulled into the driveway. Laura and I walked to the front door, "Wait until you meet Evan! You'll love her! She's so cute and cool!" I enthused to Laura, in which she just nodded with a face of little to no amusement. I shook it off and took in her outfit. Laura was wearing black flip-flops, blue jegging, a yellow tank top with a red quarter-sleeve kinda jacket with only the top button buttoned. She had a small salmon-colored purse, but I suppose she left that in the car.
She then responded with, "I guess." As I knocked on the door. "Do you think-" Laura started but was cut off when the door opened, revealing a little girl about fourteen-years-old.
The girl had long, dark brown hair that matched her eyes. She had a multi-shade blue flannel on while her jeans were dark blue. On her feet were white converse. "Ello, I'm Hope and you are?" She introduced herself with a cute British accent.
"Hope's a really pretty name." Laura commented.
Hope looked Laura up and down before asking, "Thank you and you are?" For a second time.
"Oh. I'm Rydel and this is Laura." I said pointing to Laura when I said her name, "Are you Evan's friend?" I asked.
"Why yes, I am." She answers with what looked like a forced smile.
Soon enough, Jordan's voice was heard, yelling, "Who's at the door?!"
"Come see for yourself!" She snapped at him. Despite the attitude, this girl didn't seem like someone Evan would hang around with.
Hope waved before walking off and soon after Jordan appeared, "Oh, hey, babe." He said to me as he pecked my lips.
"Hey, baby. Are Evan and her friends ready?" I asked.
"Yeah." He answered then leaned back into the house, shouting, "EVAN, HURRY UP!" He then rested his head in the door frame, smiling at me. "Oh, hey, Laura." Jordan greeted after realizing she was there and added a light wave. Laura didn't seem amused. She just gave a tiny smile and rolled her eyes. She was also a bit sassy. Soon enough, Evan ran out the door, almost knocking Jordan over with Hope and another Hope chasing her. There are two Hope's?
"Okay, we'll be back soon. Okay, baby?" I told Jordan.
"Sure. Bye, babe." He said and pulled me into an even longer kiss.
Apparently it was taking too long because all the girls except Laura yelled, "Ewww!"
Jordan and I pulled away and then Jordan chuckled, "Just wait till you girls get a boyfriend." Laura and I just smiled while two out of three girls blushed. Evan seemed unamused. "Oh and if Evan, or the other girls act up, you can punish them, okay?" Jordan told me.
"Will do." I said as everyone got in the car. I don't like the idea of punishing them. So hopefully this goes well. I gave Jordan a final kiss before getting into my car.
We were driving when Evan spoke up, "Rydel, just so you know, the one in the flannel is Hope. The one wearing a blue button-up is Faith."
"Haha, that's really funny. Hope and Faith." Laura added with a small snort.
"How is that funny?" Both Hope and Faith asked.
She quickly stopped her laughing and said, "Nevermind.." She then stared out the window.
"And who's this?" Evan asked.
"Oh, this is my best friend, Laura." I answered.
After a long drive, it was about 2:17 and we were at the beach. I told the girls we were going here first, so I hope they brought their bathing suits. Laura helped me get the chairs ready while Evan and her friends started swimming. I looked over to see only Hope and Faith in the water and Evan just standing there in her ripped jeans and Evanescence sweatshirt.
Evan's p.o.v.
Yeah, I brought a bathing suit. In fact, I'm wearing it under my clothes. Hope and Faith got dressed in tankinis. Hope was in a black and red tankini; black top and red bottoms. Faith was in a red top and black bottom. They walked over to me. "Come on, Evan. Let's get in the water." Faith said.
"Yeah, change into your bathin' suit." Hope added.
"Umm. Not now." I hesitatly said. "You guys go." I said. They both shrugged and ran into the water. I sighed as I let my feet slightly sink into the sand. What can I say? I hate myself. I hate my body, but it also doesn't help that I have scars on my arms. Fucking idiot, Evan...
Laura ran passed me in a turquoise one-piece with multicolored plaid shorts over the bottom half and a couple of anklets. She didn't just pass me, she knocked me to the ground. She turned around and didn't say anything except, "Watch where you're going, Bitch." I don't even know this Laura girl and she already hates me. I stayed on the ground, not bothering to get up. I pulled my legs to my chest and sat there, letting the wind decide where it wanted my hair to go.
Soon I felt a hand on my shoulder and a voice talking softly, "Did you bring a bathing suit?" It was Rydel. I faced her, seeing her in a Hello Kitty bikini. The top was pink with a Hello Kitty face and the bottom half was pink leopard print with a small skirt attached.
"I love your bathing suit." I complimented.
"Thanks, but you didn't answer my question." She reminded.
"Um.. Yeah, I have one. It's under my clothes." I told her.
"Are you going to go in the water?" She asked.
"No." I simply answered.
"Okay then." Rydel then sat next to me.
"Aren't you going in?" I asked her.
"No, I'm fine. I'd rather sit with you." She said, making me smile slightly. After a couple of minutes of talking, Rydel stood up and pulled me up as well. She took off my Evanescence sweatshirt revealing my Batman skirt-type top and pulled off my ripped jeans, revealing the rest of my Batman bikini. Why would I wear a bikini if I feel so insecure of my stomach and body? Michael bought me a new bathing suit for when we go to the beach and I told him I didn't want to wear it, but he literally fought me and put it on me.
"Rydel! Please don't!" I said.
"Too late!" She said with a giggle as she picked me up bridal style and carried me into the water.
How the hell can she carry me? I'm like a fucking whale and how did she not see my scars? I look at my arms to see barely any marks? Huh? I guess I heal fast. Next thing I know-
*splash*
Rydel threw me in the water. The water felt really refreshing. All my bruises and marks seemed to have faded for the time being. Certain lighting does crazy things. I rose to the surface and saw Hope and Faith throwing a beach ball back and forth. Rydel was standing in the water closer to the beach with her phone to her ear and I didn't see Laura anywhere? I kept watching Hope and Faith pass the ball until I felt the waistband of my bottom piece get pulled back. I turned around to see Laura holding the waistband. I shook my head no, but instead, she pulled up on my bottoms. Every time I attempted to scream she pulled me underwater. This went on until Rydel yelled we have to go. After changing into warm, clean clothes and a long drive, we got to the mall. We all went into Hot Topic to pick out some clothes. I got two Black Veil Brides shirts, a Ramones shirt, a DIO shirt, and a Mötley Crüe shirt. I also got some jeans. A pair that were half black/half red and a pair that was half white and half black. I started walking away from the group. "Hey, Rydel, I'm gonna go to Newbury comic's and get some CDs!" I yelled to Rydel.
"Sure! Hurry up and meet us in F.Y.E.!" She shouted back to me.
"Okay!" I made my way to Newbury comic's. I ended up leaving with an Evanescence CD, Nirvana CD, and an Aerosmith CD. As I was leaving to meet up with Rydel and everyone, I passed Macy's and saw Maddison with her friends. I quickly got away just in time before they saw me, or at least I hope I did. I walked right into Hope and Faith causing all three of us to fall on our butts. "Sorry." I apologized. Hope didn't mind, she even laughed a bit. Faith seemed annoyed, but I didn't blame her.

Soon after walking around some more, we all decided to get some lunch but wound up being more like dinner considering it was around six. Everyone had their food except Rydel and me. "Okay, kiddo, what would you like?" Rydel asked me.
"Umm... I'm not really hungry." I said.
"Evan, I want you to eat." She said.
"But I'm not hungry." I told her.
Rydel's p.o.v.
I'm concerned about Evan. She won't eat, but I'd feel bad if I forced her, so I asked her one more time. "Are you sure?"
"Yeah. I'm fine, really." She told me.
"Okay then, go sit with everyone else." I told her and she did so. I ordered a salad and when it was ready, I sat back down with the rest of them. After we ate we decided to stay out a little later than planned. So we went to see a movie. Five minutes later we finally agreed on a movie; Under A Thousands Stars. Apparently it was a horror movie about aliens.
Halfway through the movie, Evan leaned over to me, "Um, I'll be right back." She told me.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"Just to the bathroom." She replied.
"Okay, but hurry up." I told her and she left.
Thirteen minutes later Evan still wasn't back. "Hey Laura, can you go check on Evan?" I asked her and she nodded then left.
Evan's p.o.v.
I left the movie theater and went to the bathroom. No one was in there luckily. The reason I left was because of the seating arrangements. From left to right it went Hope, Rydel, Me, Laura, and Faith. Laura kept kicking me and don't get me wrong, I love horror movies, but this was getting too me. Not to say it was scary, just more unsettling. I leaned my head over the sink, just trying to calm my breathing. Soon after, I heard the bathroom door open and shut, then lock? "Well, don't you seem scared?" I turned around to see Laura. Great. She seemed like a nice girl when I first saw her, but she was making a face I'd seen somewhere?
Then it hit me... ROSS!
I knew it. I knew I've seen that look. Ross makes that same face when he senses my fear and I think he said something about dating a girl that's just like him, named Laura. "Laura, please just leave me alone-"
"Turn around!" She commanded.
"What?" I asked.
"You heard me, turn around!" She said making that same evil face Ross makes.
"Fine. Just don't hurt me." I said and turned around on defeat. Normally, I'd stand my ground, but lately my brain seems to be so far from me. I could feel her moving closer to me and then she just reached into my jeans and grabbed the waistband of my boxers. "Laura, please don't!" I begged.
"Zip it!" She said. Honestly, it was pathetic. I was pathetic. I've noticed everyone does this to me and it's such a stupid tactic. They act like we're in a cliché teen movie.
Then Laura pulled up really hard as she pushed me into the wall and above us was a fucking hook to hang your jacket. I could already see where this was going. I was hoping she wouldn't notice, but of course, she lifted me off the ground and hooked my boxers. She stepped back leaving me to hang there. "Laura! Laura! Please get me down!" I begged.
"Why?" She asked in a snobby tone.
"Please it hurts and I wanna go home!" I said, wincing at the pain. I could feel my boxers digging into my upper thighs.
She eventually stopped laughing and said, "Ugh, whatever." After, she pulled out her phone and took a picture. She then grabbed me by my boxers and threw me to the ground. She left with a smirk. I growled lowly to myself as I fixed my underwear. I decided to head out and return to the movie. I saw Hope and Faith talking to Laura while Rydel was talking on the phone. Guess I missed the rest of the movie.
"Oh, there you are. What happened?" Rydel asked.
"I just felt sick." I lied because I could feel Laura sending me daggers. Plus, I couldn't tell Rydel what really happened because she was best friends with Laura and I'm not going to ruin it.
"Okay?" She questioned a bit. "Let's get you home." After dropping off Hope and Faith and then Laura who lives somewhat close to them, I sat in the front with Rydel, in silence. Well, for a bit it was silent. "So did you have fun?" Rydel asked.
"Yeah, I guess. Thanks for taking me." I said.
"No problem. It was fun for me. What did you think of Laura?" She asked.
"Umm." How the hell am I supposed to tell her?
"What?" She asked.
I couldn't take it. "She's a fucking bitch!" I covered my mouth after the words finished leaving my mouth. I never swear when I'm with Rydel. I tend to act like a princess to the best of my ability when I'm around Rydel because I think she prefers when I act sweet. I sense she's never had a sister and I'm that replacement?
"Evan!"
"I'm sorry!" I said quickly.
"You promise not to do it again?" She asked.
"Yes, I'm sorry." I told her.
"Why don't you like Laura?" She asked after a moment.
I hesitated again. I didn't want Rydel to hate me for my opinion on her friend. Her best friend, in fact. I sighed, "I just don't think she likes me." I shrugged slightly as I pulled my knees to my chest.
"Oh." Rydel started then chuckled a bit, "She doesn't hate you. Laura doesn't hate anyone. She just doesn't know you yet."
"Oh.." I nervously laughed softly. We were in silence for a while and then the car stopped. Guess what? We were home and Jordan was outside waiting for us? Jordan then went to Rydel's window.
"I can't stay, I have a big show and I'm already-" She started. I didn't bother to hear the rest. I got out and walked away. I saw them kiss and then Rydel pulled out of the driveway. Jordan stormed over to me and I quickly bolted up the stairs and ran into the living room, tripping over something in the process which only allowed Jordan to catch up to me.
While I laid on the ground holding my knee, Jordan towered over me. "Corner now!" He demanded.
"I didn't do anything!" I argued.
"Now!" So with a huff, I got up and walked to the corner.
3rd person p.o.v.
Oh, but Evan was telling the truth. Not that Jordan seemed to care. You see, Laura called and told Jordan that Evan had called Rydel a bitch, kicked her, and made a scene. She added, saying that Rydel felt bad which is why she didn't punish her. "Evan, now!" Jordan said and Evan walked over to him. "Bend over the couch, please." His voice softened only slightly.
"I didn't do anything!" Evan said, sticking to her statement from earlier.
"Fine." Jordan spoke and bent her over the couch, pulling down her jeans and boxers.
"Jordan-" She tried yelling, but Jordan didn't care. He began smacking her bottom with the remote that was in the living room. Evan kept screaming and crying, but regardless, Jordan kept smacking and his hits hurt. By now Evan's bum was a nice deep shade of red. Jordan kept going until the front door opened.
"JORDAN MARK!" Michael screamed. Jordan turned around and then looked back at Evan's red ass, and felt a wave of guilt wash over him. Devon being the ass he is, laughed until Michael gave him a look. He then stopped and walked away. Drake and Todd went to calm down Evan, but failed tremendously. "My room, in the corner, bare, NOW!" Michael snapped.
After thirty minutes of calming Evan down, she fell asleep curled up on Todd. Michael left to deal with Jordan. Twenty minutes later, Michael came down with a puffy-faced Jordan. He told Evan he was sorry but Evan didn't care for his apology. She was also too tired. Soon enough, they snuggled up together on the couch watching something with the rest of the family. Evan was asleep for the most part except for the fact she kept waking up.
