Evelyn POV
I was woken by the sun coming up, lighting up the backs of my eyelids. I looked around my surroundings only to find Ryland next to me and I was leaning on him inside the shed. How did I not wake up when they moved me?
The answer was Orion who was sitting across from me staring at me and I could feel the fog lift off me.
"You didn't come home, '' he says simply. I sit up, my back cracking from the awkward position I was in.
"Yeah not like any of you want me there" I tell him hopping up.
"I thought you were destroying them, you could have just told me" he says.
"Like I could get a word in with you screaming at me, you didn’t give me a chance to explain" I tell him walking to the shed's roller door and looking out at what was left out here.
"Why did you come here?" Orion asks and I look over my shoulder at him.
"I didn't mean to, I didn't realise where I was till I stopped" I tell him looking back out at the empty lott. The grass trying to grow over the dirt patch that was once home.
"I miss this place, we used to be happy here" he says, walking over to me.
"Yeah now it is as broken as us" I chuckle, funny how a house can represent so much in so many ways.
"We aren't broken, just a little lost," he says.
"Lost? That's what you call it?" I ask him.
"We didn't lose something Orion, he was taken from us, you are just all to blind to see it" I tell him.
"This again? There is no proof anything happened. The fire department even said it was gas lines"
"You say that like they can't be bought, they could have been lying"
"You're delusional, that's what you are. Fucking crazy Evelyn, sometimes there aren't answers, you just want someone to blame, some explanation because you can't live believing it was an accident" Orion's says.
"That's because it fucking wasn't, I know it fucking wasn't an accident, I can feel it" He scoffs shaking his head.
"Fucking feel it? , What you got superpowers now, you’re fucking unbelievable" he says laughing.
"I know it wasn't an accident," I told him.
"Think what you want Evelyn, it changes nothing, it doesn't bring him back" he says.
Orion's phone rang in his pocket. He pulls it out before answering it.
"Yeah we found her, we will be home soon" he says and I hear Thaddeus speaking on the other end.
"Head straight home, I found something, well Mara did"
"Mara? What do you mean?" Orion asks his eyes darting to me before flicking away.
