        he’s in no illusion that, if the situation were another, he wouldn’t be stepping anywhere near her house at this time of night. at least, not this easily. but even in his own self-centered bubble of momentary relief over the unknown whereabouts of their parents, benjamin was able to recognize evie’s distress. their liaison might have been fleeting, and a matter of shame to her, yet it didn’t mean he didn’t grow to recognize some of her behaviors. her drive to appear strong, cool and collected in front of her sister despite her own fears a perfect example. that’s why he offered himself to walk the two of them home, considering his is on the way and everyone else seemed to have scattered. “ they were probably evacuated, or something. ” casual words drip out of his lips and he almost worries his calmness might only entice her nerves further. “ i’ve tried that, it’s no use. either my entire family is avoiding me — which wouldn’t be a first — or … i don’t know, maybe there’s a problem with the cell towers. because of the storm. ”

   --- evie was in no way thrilled by the idea of benji walking them home but at the end of the journey home, there was a pinch of relief that he’d been there. it was hard talking on the walk home but the other was there to fill the air ; or at least make it less awkward. once they got in, her sister immediately went to her room. usually , evie would follow but she knew her sister just needed some space. the blonde put down her phone after the failed phone call and turned to  benjamin. “ it’s probably the cell tower theory. ” shrug. she leaned against the kitchen countertop. “ i mean, that’s the theory that i’ve heard that makes most sense, i mean . . . ” she rubbed the back of her neck. if their families ( aka the whole town ) was evacuated, surely the buses wouldn’t have brought them here. evie let out a hard sigh , trying to avoid direct eye contact the whole time. “ thanks for uh . . . you know, coming along. ” she managed to say, despite the weird feeling in her belly.

letting out a heavy sigh, she wondered what everyone else was doing. was anyone able to reach their parents, neighbors, or anyone that disappeared? what was going to happen next? will they ever come back? questions upon questions continued to go through the girl’s head, but she was brought back down to earth when she heard evie’s question. “hmm? oh, yeah, a movie night sounds awesome.” wrapping an arm around the other’s shoulder, she gave a small smile. “i’m sure this is just one big prank and they’ll be back tomorrow morning.”

   --- evie smiled. she , too , hooked her arm around the brunette’s waist. “ with the jocks in our town, i highly believe that is possible. ” laugh. she pulled layla into a quick hug. “ it’ll be back to normal tomorrow. ” hopefully. evie pulled away before clapping her hands together. “ okay! we have many movie options because my sister is a movie-holic. so whatever genre you’re feeling, we’ll have. ”

tfaudrey‌:

audrey didn’t speak for a moment. of course, the tension and silence was a bit awkward and audrey wished that she could fill it with words, but she really didn’t have much to say, except for “thank you.” it was quiet for a little longer, until evie asked another question. when asked if she was okay, audrey immediately shrugged, now slowly sitting down on evie’s couch, as if she needed approval from the other to sit. “um, i don’t know. i probably won’t totally be until i know where they are. how about you?”

   --- evie nodded ; knowing how the other felt. “ i feel the same way , if i’m being honest. ” the blonde ran her hand through her hair. sure - she didn’t get along with her mother but she never wished harm on the woman who gave birth to her. she never wanted to live life without her mother in it & being in this --- alternate town --- felt like she’d lost not just one of her parents. but both of them. “ do you want to watch a movie or something? just somethin’ to get our mind off of the whole situation? ”

tfaudrey‌:

“yeah,” she began, looking down at her feet now. she wasn’t even sure how to react or what emotions to feel, especially in this moment where everything was confusing and she was in evie’s house, out of every possible house in the town. “i triple searched. it just felt weird being there alone for too long, hence why i’m not there right now. so, yeah, nobody was there..” her voice trailed off, continuing to look down at her phone screen to make sure she didn’t miss any bars of service. 

   --- evie swallowed the lump in her throat . she had to put aside the confusing emotions she had in the moment. seeing audrey after so long ; it was strange. when evie saw her face , all of the feelings she had supressed in a tight jar were fighting to come out .. fighting to be felt. but despite it , the blonde ignored it. or tried to , at least. “ you can . . . come here whenever you feel like that. ” said evie. she pressed her lips together. “ the door is always open. ” with a pounding heart & sweaty palms, evie took a step closer to audrey ; somewhat still trying to avoid direct eye contact. “ are you . . . okay? ”

jasper smiled down at the blonde, appreciating her validation where most people gave none. “ that’s a good idea. I think we’re all too exhausted right now. ” as jasper watched everyone filter out he turned to evie and nodded. “ of course you can. we can watch a movie ? my mom has everything from disney to horror. although—I guess we might want to stay away from horror tonight. ”

   --- the blonde nodded her head in agreement ; everyone was definitely exhausted in every possible way. . . nobody saw this coming. “ thanks jasp. ” smiled evie. of everyone , jasper was someone she knew she could trust. with anything at all. “ sounds like your mama loves her movies, huh? ” the girl wrapped her arm around jaspers’. “ good idea - staying away from horror. . . unless it’s coraline. i will never stay away from that movie. ”

oliver waved his hand in DISMISSAL at her apology, he understood that the tension was HIGH. he wasn’t about to be an asshole where he could see everyone was finding it difficult to come to terms with what exactly had happened to them. it was true that the pair of them had more DISLIKE towards one another than anything but oliver was willing to set aside their differences until everyone figured out what was going on. as she tried to ring the same number again, his shoulders slumped with his foot tapping the ground. part of him felt he needed to give her PRIVACY to make a call but where else was he supposed to go? “is there anyone else you can try ringing?” he suggested, taking a cautious step back in case she snapped again. “do you want me to join?” he asked, slight confusion entering his features. 

   --- evie shook her head , ending the call before the voicemail message. “ no one that isn’t already here. ” the only other person she’d think to call would be her sister - who was already there with them. there really wasn’t anyone else. she crossed her arms & shifted her weight onto her back leg. “ i mean - if you want to stay here with a bunch of panicking teenagers, go for it. ” shrug. she slowly began making her way past the other. “ i’m offering to get away from here for a bit. if you wanna come, cool. if not - cool. ”

layla lowkey felt the odd one out. maybe because she was already used to being by herself for a few years and just didn’t feel as panicked. she did have a parental figure, one of her favorite teachers in high school, that she was worried about and sent a text message to. she agreed that it was strange that everybody else was suddenly gone. it also grew her curiosity and wanted to find more about the situation. shoving a hand in her pocket while gripping her backpack strap with the other, she shrugged. “i don’t believe they would. honestly, it sounds like that would happen only in a tv show or movie.” as she watched evie be on the phone, the brunette paused for a few seconds before asking, “is anyone picking up?”

   --- “ it does , right? ” she shook her head slowly & clicked the end call button. evie took exhaled deeply. “ no -- no answer. ” the blonde watched as her sister stormed up the stairs. “ there’s no point in drowning in worries. ” the girl pressed her lips together. despite feelin herself drown in worried thoughts, she couldn’t let others lose hope. “ do you want to watch a movie or somethin’? maybe have a little drink? ”

   --- evie locked herself in her room ; her heart pounding & mind racing. she sat against the door, closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths. with shaking hands , evie pulled out her phone and dialed her mothers number again. “ please pick , mama . . . please. ” her voice was hushed. eyes clench & tears fall from her eyes as the voicemail message began :

“ hello ! sorry I can’t get to the phone right now. just leave a message and I’ll get back to you ! ”                                                                    BEEP !

evie’s lover lip quivered. “ mom . . . ” by now , her cheeks were damp & her nose was runny. this isn’t happening. this isn’t happening. “ mom, i’m sorry. please pick up. please call me back. ” she shook her head slowly. evie had never thought about life without her mother ; it was something she never wanted to think about or thought would happen until she was at least fifty. evie rose her knees to her chest and ended the call before burying her head in her hands & letting out sobs. she tried to be as quiet as possible.

the class clown couldn’t be heard having a breakdown. she was supposed to be positive ; supposed to make people happy & laugh during dark times. but evie never thought a situation could get as dark as this. part of her felt . . . hopeless. but she couldn’t let anyone see that.

GRIFFIN: something's NOT right . i can't even access my internet or anything , it's like we're completely cut off from the outside world .

GRIFFIN: i mean i guess lightning could've struck a cell tower or something nearby .. but i feel like i wouldn't be texting you right now if that was the case .

GRIFFIN: even if it had been the storm , i feel like they would've left some sort of note or let us know they were leaving ? like a whole TOWN can't just disappear without a trace .. right ?

EVIE: it was a pretty bad storm, that isn't an unreasonable thing imo

EVIE: you're right :/ i don't know man. it's so fucked up

EVIE: it's not like the whole town went on vacation to hawaii. like? fuck?

tfaudrey‌:

audrey didn’t want to make it seem like she was following evie around– she had already searched through her own home with her brother, archer, about five times, and just being in the house alone was a bit too eerie for her to handle. evie was the first person she saw, so, naturally, she decided to look to her for guidance.

as the girl dialed her phone in hopes of her mother picking up, audrey stood in silence in the door frame, nervously biting her nails. “i tried calling my parents and i couldn’t get any service.” she admitted through a mutter, looking around the house and attempting not to make eye contact.

   --- seeing audrey gave evie a . . . strange feeling in her belly. a mix of joy and avoidance. she slowly lowered her phone & ended the call after a few rings ( she knew her mother always picked up before 3 rings ). the blonde let out a small sigh and put down her phone. “ did you end up going to your place? ” asked evie. she , too , was looking everywhere but directly at audrey. there was an awkward feel in the air .. & for good reason. “ was anyone there? ”

   --- “ everything will be , yes. ” the blonde repeated. maybe not now . . considering most people were in a panic. but eventually things would be okay. evie wrapped her arm around him as people told him to shut up ( those people earned a few glares from the girl -- he was trying to help. ) " exactly . . . we should all just go to sleep and see what situation we’re in in the morning. ” surely a lot of them were tired. evie turned to jasper & lowered her voice a bit. “ can i .. crash at your place tonight? i actually don’t really want to go to my house. ”

° ✧ ━ jasper wasn’t stupid, despite what most people liked to believe. he just more or less didn’t want to face the reality of the situation when he stepped off that bus. or maybe he felt things too deeply and needed to shut down the rising panic that was evident on not only his face, but almost everyone around him. jasper plastered on a bright smile and shook his head. “ everything’s going to be okay. ” he said in a singsong voice, to no one in particular. that earned him a few eye rolls and shut up jasper’s. as people dispersed to their houses, jasper tried to reassure anyone who walked by. “ nobody was expecting us, right ? they are probably all asleep. ”

she’d  only  tagged  along  with  the  spencers  crew  due  to  the  fact  her  house  was  too  far  for  a  barely  awake–  grumpy–  girl  to  tend  to;  not  because  she  enjoyed  the  company,  or  felt  the  disengagement  that  everyone  else  seemed  to  feel  at  this  time.  but,  standing  inside  the  unfamiliar  home  is  anything  but  assuring,  and  charlie’s  regretting  her  choices  with  every  minute  that  passes–  she  sounds  ungrateful,  but  an  irritable  wells  off-spring  wasn’t  something  to  play  fire  with.  “  i  know  it’ll  be  okay,  you’ve  said  it  about  seven  times  since  we  got  here.  you’re  sounding  like  a  broken  record  now,  evie.  ”  her  comment  comes  out  harsh,  bounces  from  her  lips  to  an  empty  house,  brow  raising  in  concern  for  the  other’s  well  being  to  what’s  going  on.  “  like  i’ve  said,  it’s  nothing  to  worry  about.  can’t  we  just  …  have  a  drink  and  relax?  you  know,  forget  about  it  for  a  second?  ”  her  eyes  venture  to  the  female,  debating  whether  or  not  to  check  her  own  phone  for  a  sign  of  reassurance–  anything  from  her  father,  even  just  a  simple  text  to  say  he’s  fucked  off  to  new  york  would  suffice.  she  decides  against  it,  thick  sigh  escaping  her  lips  before  turning  attention  to  evie.  “  focus  on  the  positive  or  whatever.  at  least  you’re  not  dead.  ”  

   --- “ sorry - sorry , i know. i’m just . . . ” evie scratched her head. she took a deep breath & placed her phone on the countertop : there was no use in calling & getting no answer. that would only stress her out even more. she tied her hair into a ponytail and nodded her head at the suggestion of a drink. “ yeah , sure. my mom drinks a lot so we have pretty much every alcoholic beverage you can think of. ” she made her way to the alcohol cabinet & began opening it. her head turned towards charlie. “ feel free to make yourself at home. just . . . kick it. ” when the cabinet door was opened, the girl grabbed fancy wine glasses for the two ( her sister had decided to spend some time alone ). “ fancy glasses for only the fanciest of people. ” said evie in a silly voice. she tried her best to stay positive. “ so ,  what’ll you have? . . . . . oh, we have a few blunts somewhere too if you want to smoke. ”

greeleyo‌:

her comment was EXPECTED though it caused nothing but a simple eye roll in response. fingers drumming against the strap of his bag as he glanced around them, only a HANDFUL of the students had pulled their phones from their pockets, the rest frozen with confusion. despite NOT turning up to class often, olly knew his fellow peers well. the time he did spend in class, he spent it observing them. “tried ringing him, no answer then my phone died.” he shrugged, gaze avoiding hers as he spoke. perhaps NOW wasn’t the best to start an argument with her, let alone anyone. 

   --- the blonde let out a small sigh & loosened up. “ sorry to snap --- I just . . . ” despite not particularly liking oliver , this wasn’t the time to be snippy. evie cleared her throat. she was supposed to be cheery & goofy ; supposed to be the one making everyone laugh during hard situations. but this situation was like no other. in fact, the more she thought about it - the reality of it - the more worse her headache got. “ my phone battery is dying, too. i’ll try a few more times. ” the light from her phone lit up her face while she tried her mother’s number again. “ i might just go the park and smoke if you . . . want to join. ” to her surprise, she didn’t want to go home. she didn’t want to go & find an empty house.
