"Oh! uhhh…thanks…" She went silent as her face went beet red. Now it was her turn to be awkward. Her favorite singer had just complimented her half assed tired singing voice. She had no snappy comeback, smart remark, and no way to change the conversation. So she turned away and started to head towards more the side of the house. She could've kissed him really with how happy she felt, but she wanted to keep her cool. She really didn't want to scare him too much, and now she was a bit afraid she already had with her motorcycle driving skills.
Ryder didn't seem to notice considering how dark it was, only grabbing a couple more eggs to chuck at the windows. He seemed to be enjoying himself immensely, probably more than he should, but he'd never done something like this before. It was exciting to him.
Evelyn eventually cooled down and then accidentally threw an egg at his open window. Said open window was right above where he was sleeping. "Oh…SHIT!" She then saw her now green haired ex with egg on his forehead and in his hair leaning out the window. He was skinny, with deep brown eyes and a rather bewitching smile, when he wasn't grimacing and glaring like he was now. "WHAT THE HELL EVELYN!" "Uh…Karma's a bitch! YOU WHORE!" She said as she stood below his window. "I HOPE YOU LEAN OUT FURTHER SO YOU FALL OUT AND FRACTURE YOUR SPINE!" He then leaned in. "I'm gonna get you, you BITCH!" She then took off running as he thundered out to the front door. "Hey uh I kinda did a dumb, and now we gotta fucking bolt if we wanna save our necks." She quickly packed up what was left of the supplies, and got on her motorbike, putting on her helmet.
Ryder froze at the yelling and bolted to the motorcycle when Evelyn came his way. "Sounds like a fantastic plan to me!" He quickly buckled his helmet onto his head and jumped on the bike, leaving the rest of the stuff on the lawn. They didn't have time to grab it. "Let's go before he pulls out a rifle or something!"
She groaned and grabbed the stuff, putting on her backpack and handing Ryder the eggs. "Here idiot! We don't want to leave behind any fingerprints in case he calls the cops or something!" She then wrapped his arms back around her. "Alright. Hold on tight. Drop the eggs later if you fear you'll explode eggs by holding on too tight. I can take it but they can't. We just wanna pitch em NOT IN FRONT OF HIS HOUSE!" She then took off, turning down her music a bit.
"Alright, alright, sorry!" Ryder held tightly to Evelyn and watched behind them to make sure that they weren't being followed. "Gun it! He might try to come after us!" His hood blew off of his head, but the beanie stayed on.
She pulled into a side alley, flipped around, and put the helmet on him. "You idiot. I don't want you dead. I don't want to go down in history as the girl who killed the hottest guy in the world." She then flung the eggs into a lawn, and gunned it after making sure he was gripping her as tight as possible. She was lucky it was a clear night, but holy fuck was she tired. She decided to tell the band they'd practice at noon instead of 10 am. She needed her fucking sleep. Maybe she could get her new found friend to stay the night? Probably not. Too much to ask for.
"I-I'm really not, but um… thank you!" Ryder flushed as he held tightly to Evelyn. "Now, we really need to get going! I don't want to die any more than you do! Or… any more than you want me to? I don't know, but I don't want either of us to get killed by your ex!"
"Shush,worry wart!" She then took off at top speed, and they made sharp turns that almost tipped them all the way over. She was damn good at balancing though, and soon they were at her apartment. she practically flung off the helmet and took off running inside, and up the stairs, before dashing into her apartment, and then held the door open for when Ryder ran in.
Ryder set his helmet on the bike and quickly followed Evelyn inside, watching over his shoulder nervously. "Do you think we lost him?" He asked, panting lightly as he watched the door. "He probably knows where you live, right?"
"Hey dude relax, remember it's 5 am. He's too lazy and too slow to bother coming here. Probably wiped off the egg and went to bed. And speaking of which we should do the same. Now, I don't want to be too pushy but would you like to stay the night? I've got a few sets of my twin brothers pjs, you could borrow some. It's okay if you don't, I just don't want you out at 6 am at night on this side of town, especially if Rick is running around trying to find us. But if ya don't wanna, then that's fine too." She shrugged.
"I-I… um… sure? I'll just… sleep on the couch, I guess…" Ryder stammered in reply, seeming a bit taken aback. It had been years since he'd slept over at someone else's house. He hesitated before slipping off his hoodie so he was just wearing the t-shirt underneath. The adrenaline was wearing off and he was clearly exhausted.
Evelyn shrugged. "Again ya don't gotta. And if you don't want the couch we can share the bed. I promise I don't bite. Too hard that is." She winked and giggled. "Only kidding. I'll go get pillows and blankets then." She then headed off to the broom closet for exactly that.
Ryder flushed a bit and sat down on the couch, folding up his hoodie and setting it on the floor beside him. Evelyn seemed nice, but like a lot of his fans, she was a bit much… Ah, well… I don't even necessarily have to interact with her again after tonight. Knowing me, I probably will, though.
Evelyn smiled and set down the blankets and pillow, and then an oversized t-shirt and some men's sweats. "Not the nicest pjs but, they'll work. Gnight!" She gave him a small shoulder hug and then walked back off to her own bedroom, passing out as soon as her head hit the pillow.
"Goodnight…" Ryder headed into the nearby bathroom to change instead of in the middle of the living room just in case. He folded his own clothes and set them on the floor beside his hoodie before curling up under the blanket and falling asleep.
The next morning, Evelyn was busying herself around the kitchen making english muffings with bacon,eggs,and cheese inside, and hashbrowns as a side. She sang as she worked, whatever little half melody that came to mind.
Ryder was still fast asleep when she came downstairs, and remained so while she was cooking. His blue hair was fluffy and disheveled from sleep and he still looked to be drained and exhausted.
Evelyn looked down on him as she set down the food in front of him. "Ryder? Ryyyder? Wakey wakey eggs and bakey. Seriously, I never cook like this for anyone else so wake up. I need to know if you want milk, tea, or coffee?"
"Mmmmmm…" Ryder stirred a bit and opened his eyes, yawning as he looked up at Evelyn. "Mm… did you say something?" He asked, rubbing at his tired eyes with one hand. Food…? "Oh, y-you didn't have to cook for me… thank you, though."
"Well figured you'd need the fuel before you left. I don't mind it Ry. Now then again I ask. Coffee, tea, or milk?" She said this as she disappeared into the kitchen and came back with a napkin and fork which she set down next to his plate.
"Um… coffee, please. God knows I need the caffeine." Ryder sighed softly and picked up a piece of bacon to take a bite out of. I should probably get going soon… wouldn't want to encroach too much.
She smiled and nodded, and made him a hot cup of strong coffee,set it down in front of him, and then began to cook her own breakfast, still singing away. She then stopped and peeked into the living room. "Feel free to turn on the tv and watch whatever you want. I don't really care." She shrugged and went back to her cooking.
"Alright, thank you…" Ryder kept eating, humming softly to himself as he did so. He didn't bother turning on the TV, figuring that nothing interesting was on at this hour anyway. He took another bite of his muffin and sighed.
"You're welcome." She called, and then sat down after she finished her breakfast. "Well. Ya can head out whatever. I'm not leaving until noon and if you really want too you can stay here the whole day? I don't see why you would. But if ya ever want to hang out again sometime, let me know. I had fun last night, even if I was tired. Sorry for nearly getting you killed like 3 times."
