sorry didn't see you there (open)

[DAMON ADAM DAMARA]

Damon had left Karlieann the end of June, and it is now September. It was one of the hardest things he had to do. He had to get away from her. He couldn’t hurt her. He had gotten himself into a bit of troubles with the magic’s and even now he isn’t fully recovered from his problems. His best mate, Trey was up in Chelsea and that is where Damon had moved too it was only like thirty minutes or so away and he was still close to his home, but he didn’t want Karlie and them to know where he was. He just couldn’t face her not yet. He had stolen buster their baby their pup and he didn’t know why he didn’t leave him with Karlie the pup misses his mommy and is always whining for her still. He is one that will never forget her either. Damon had packed all their pictures away seeing as seeing them made buster more sad. He was teaching the pup how to skateboard and it was the cutest thing ever really. Karlie would love it. It was odd to Damon to be strung up on some girl. It just proves she really was something special to him, but he had to leave for her own good. He didn’t want her to get hurt, but he probably had hurt her in the worst way possible.

He had changed his credit card accounts, and he had changed his bank accounts and his phone numbers so they couldn’t locate him. He did his best to change everything so Karlie’s little hacker mate Riley couldn’t find him and come up and harass him. They wouldn’t understand why he did what he did so he had to make it as if he had disappeared. He recently got a call from his mother that he has a credit card bill at the house. How could there have been one sent there. He changed all his accounts or so he thought he had. He had drove the distance home to his mothers house trying to keep a low profile in case someone knows him and gives Karlieann a call. He had stopped by his mum’s to visit and pick up the bill. When more bad news besides that card bill was dropped into his lap. Mr. Brett had died. He would have to stick around for a few days. She said he should be there. He would honor her wishes. He has been doing good for himself in Chelsea which pleased her. He left here too to protect his mother from what was going on too.

He had opened the bill, and it had been stuff Karlieann charged to it after her left probably as revenge and pay-back and he deserved it really. When his mother asked what it was. He had told her nothing, it was just a card he had forgotten about and would pay it straight away. He didn't want to worry her on it. It was his doing, and he did deserve it really...he couldn't be too mad. At least she didn't break in his mum's place and smash all his collector cars then he would royally be peeved off. There were lots of shoes and club charges. He could deal with them. He was a little gutted she would do that, but he did deserve it. He couldn't have a go at her because of it. It made him wonder how she was doing.

He didn’t want his mother to ever dislike Karlieann. So he couldn't tell his mother that she racked up a hefty bill on his card. She might dislike Karlie and he wanted them to be at least civil to each other if they run into one another so he had to lie about what the card had been about. She was a bit disappointed the two of them had split up, and went their separate ways, but for right now it was for the best. He had stuck around for a while and caught up with his mother, he was also here in Camden once again because Evie’s father had passed away. He wasn’t sure what had happened his mother was still very distraught on what had happened. She was close with Evie’s father as well as the Davenports.. He had spend some time with her before she told him to go out and have some fun He had said goodbye to her telling he he would see her soon.. he was spending a few nights there before heading back home. It was really risky being there Karlie could come over and have a go at him at anytime, but Evie’s father had died he should at least be there right? Was he making a big mistake?

Damon had brought himself to one of the local pubs and made sure he had a dark table towards the back hoping not to be seen by anyone he knew. He was just there for a few drinks. He would be back home soon, well not his home, but his mothers home. He had his few drinks then left the pub, and started walking down the street towards the shopping centre, why he was going there he didn’t know. He figured he should probably go and order flowers to send to the funeral right? It was the least he could do. He should call Evie and see how she is doing, but didn’t know if she would talk to him she probably hates his guts and would rip them out if she didn’t give Karlie the pleasure of doing so. Perhaps that would be the tomorrow task.

He went for a walk he just wanted to pass sometime and clear his head with all the news landed in his lap. Seriously how could Mr. Brett be dead? He had left his car at his mothers, but it should be one not many recognized or at least he hoped they wouldn’t. He would call a cab when he wanted to go back to the house. He shouldn’t be driving after being at the pub anyways and it was nice to just walk around. He had been lost in his thoughts browsing the shops windows, when he had ran into someone ... “ I am sorry. I wasn’t watching where I was going.” he said quickly apologizing to the person that he had ran into. “Are you okay?” he asked concerned. Being down here at least he was away from the annoying girl he had been seeing. It was peaceful even though being here could stir up some trouble. He was sure Riley and any other dude that knows Karlie would want to bash his head in, but right now he wasn't even thinking of that. He was more concerned about the person he almost trampled and how Everton Brett could be feeling. He had decided he would give her a call or text her in the morning. His father is dead, but he couldn't sympathize with her on how she feels.

Comments: I DON'T MIND IF IT IS SOMEONE WHO KNOWS KARLIEANN.. IT COULD MAKE THINGS MORE DRAMATIC. I DO RAMBLE ON AND ON AND ON. ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO PM ME OR RILEY. NOT EVERYONE KNOWS THE KARLIE // DAMON HISTORY AND WHATS GOING ON. BUT ANYONE IS WELCOME TO JOIN THIS THREADAGE.. .

[.EVERTON ELIZABETH BRETT*]

Everything was so confusing. Between her dad dying and leaving the council and everything that was going on with Jack, Evie's head was in a mess. For days Evie had been unable to get Reah to respond to her but she was finally starting to talk. She knew this was Deklan's influence and she was thankful that the tot was even coming near her again. In a way Evie was jealous of Reah, she wished she could blame someone. Maybe hating someone would make it easier to accept that her dad was in fact gone. She didn't know how she could feel so strong but so helpless at the same time.

The funeral seemed to be coming by so quickly, Evie hadn't even got that sorted let alone herself or Reah. She'd spent all morning talking Reah into going to the shops with her. She had to get her something smart to wear. She barely had any smart clothes anyway but Evie didn't have the strength to go back to her father's house. Reah finally gave in when Deklan went off to work. She seemed to have naturally curled up to Evie which she moved so it was like she realised Evie was nothing to be threatened by. Evie had car swapped with Riley. Hers was still out by the gallery she'd met Jack at and Reah wouldn't get into her dads car so Evie swapped the truck for the car and set off with her little sister.

Evie knew she was supposed to be buying clothes but she'd found herself spoiling her little sister rotten. A trip to the disney store alone had cost her nearly £150!!! She'd taken her shopping bags full of toys and DVD's to the car and locked them in the boot before heading back in to finally find an outfit. She had Reah in her arms, sitting on her hip and her bag hanging off her elbow, trying to go through it one handed to get her phone out when BANG! Someone whacked straight into her and Reah!!! Evie had to make every effort available to her to stay on her feet but in doing so lost her bag. She lowered Reah to her feet and she started to cry but Evie couldn't concentrate on all of that and scoop up what was in her bag so she did it as quickly as she could so she could comfort the little one.

As the voice rang through Evie's ears, the voice apologising for not looking where it was going and asking if she was okay, Evie just froze. Her head tilted upwards. "Damon?" She questioned, moving up and looking up at him in shock. She pulled Reah back into her arm and her free hand swung and slapped him hard across the face. It had been so long since the time when he and Karlie broke up and he never bothered even contacting his so-called friends. She didn't know whether she was more angry at him or glad to see him but the slap across the face was soon followed by her bounding into his arms with Reah in tow.

[DAMON ADAM DAMARA]

Damon couldn’t believe all the things that has happened since he had left. Everton’s father had passed and he couldn’t believe that had happened. His mother had been distraught, but he was there to console her for a little bit at least before she told him to go out and have some fun. It wasn’t much fun being out there alone, but he had kicked back a few drinks and took a walk to clear his head. It was very odd being here. It was odd being home. It has been a few months since he been home. He left due to his own issues with magic and was staying close to a friend in Chelsea. It was good to have someone that understood somewhat, and it wasn’t something he thought Karlieann could deal with so he had to leave her for her own good even if she didn’t see it. He didn’t want to hurt her physically. Was he wrong to have done so? Would she have understood? It crossed his mind right before it hopped back over to Everton and Mr. Brett. He wondered what happened. His mother didn’t know.

Damon could only imagine how Everton felt. He hated his daddy, and look what happened to him. It made him wonder about things what it would have been like if he did care. If he did love his father. If he loved his father it probably wouldn’t have came down to what had happened now would it? He knew he would be a wreck if it happened to his mother so he could only imagine what Evie was feeling. He felt bad for poor little Reah. She had to be taking it hard. First, she lost her mother not due to any death, but for being how she is and not caring about them. He knew Evie had lots of help with that little tot with Mrs. Davenport and his mother probably helped every once and a while. It made him wonder if Everton is going back to college this year or is the stress too much. He had been lost in his million thoughts when he ran into someone and quickly asking if they were okay.

He didn’t notice who it was at first, because it was a little dark, but it was Everton Brett the girl who was plaguing his thoughts right now and little Reah. She had scooped the things up in her bag, and then picked up the little one that was crying she hadn’t wanted to be put down. He was in royal shock to see her. He didn’t think she would be out. He figured she would be with Family. Was Riley about and going to come out and kick his ass? Next thing he knew after she had said his name was a slap in the face. “Owwwwwwwww… Damn girl what have you been eating spinach by the bulk.”

[/i] she had some power to her and he didn’t think little Everton Brett could slap that hard, his hand went to his jaw to massage where she hit him. “ I deserved that!” [/i]He then stated. He did. He left with out telling any of them where he was going. He thought it would keep them all safe. He thought he was doing what was best for all of them. He wanted to keep them safe.

In a matter of minutes she and Reah were bundled up in his arms, and he stopped massaging where she had slapped and wrapped his arms around the two of them, and stroking her hair softly to try to console her. He was hoping it wasn’t wrong of him to do. He held her close. “ I am so sorry for your loss. How are you holding up?” [/i] He said all sympathetic and asking her how she was doing, he didn’t want her or little Reah to have to suffer with any of this. Reah was so little she deserved to have parents around this just wasn’t fair it was happening to them. “ Do you need anything?”[/i] He asked as he continued to hug her. “ I was thinking of stopping by the flower shop to send you all some flowers, but if you need anything at all just let me know. Anything I can do I’ll do it.”[/i] Damon rambled. He didn’t like them having to suffer with this at all.

“ Can I buy you a cup of coffee and a hot chocolate?” [/i]He figured maybe Reah would like that. He would help her with her bags too. He was still sort of waiting for Riley to jump out of somewhere and and kick his arse. Where was he? It was odd yet shocking to see her. He didn't know what she considered him anymore seeing as he had went off and left them all. Was he still a friend would she take him up on his offers or decline? He did sort of lose friend privileges not being around right. She probably wouldn't understand why he left if he told her.

[.EVERTON ELIZABETH BRETT*]

Evie felt bad as she'd slapped him. He'd commented about her eating spinach by the bulk and then she realized that she had that little thing called slayer strength making her a little bit more harsh every time she hit someone. She hadn't even hit him hard, she hadn't wanted to hurt him, just show him her annoyance. Damon had hugged her and apologized for her loss and as he did so she noticed her little sister cling to him with her. She found it cute and it was the first time she really did that with anyone besides Deklan in days.

It was weird seeing Damon, it'd been so long and recently they'd been seeing much more of his mum than him. It had always been strange that her dad was dating and she was settled down but she loved that his dad found someone he loved and loved it more that it was someone she actually liked. "I'm up! Not really holding!" She said, sighing slightly. She'd been trying so hard to be strong it was kind of driving her mad. Damon had said he was going to send flowers and she just awwwwed. It seemed so sweet, especially since he hadn't been around for months.

Damon said if there was anything he could to, to tell her. "Thank you but I don't know what I need right now!" She attempted a smile but it was failing badly. He'd then offered a cup of coffee and hot chocolate. She nodded and looked to Reah who was chewing on her jumper and nodding. Her sister was such a little cutey! She really couldn't believe that her dad wasnt going to be there to see her become a beautiful woman. She had to try so hard not to cry, pulling a deep breath in through her nose and swallowing thickly. "Lead the way Damara."

[DAMON ADAM DAMARA]

Everton had slapped him, and it hurt just a little. He didn’t know her hidden secrets just like she didn’t know his really. He couldn’t blame her for smacking him in the least and he did wonder when the others would pop out of the cracks to slap him too. He was so sure Riley would have had to be here somewhere too, but he wasn’t Evie clinged to him and so did little Reah. Was she too young to understand what was going on or did she know what had happened to her daddy?

It was all so sudden and tragic and it really shouldn’t have happened to them. They didn’t deserve it. Mr. Brett was a good man. He was worried about how they were holding up and even told Evie that he had been thinking of sending them flowers and that if they had needed anything to ask. She told him that she was up, but she wasn’t holding. Could he blame her no? It was tragic. She had told him that she didn’t know what she needed right now. “ I know it has to be hard and hard for you to think and things are a jumbled mess and all, but if you think of anything feel free to ask.”

He knew he couldn’t make it go away. He knew he couldn’t change things back to the way they were. He couldn’t bring her father back, but he could be there for her if she needed him.

She was attempting to smile he had to give her props on that one, but it was hard to smile especially at a time like this. He really couldn’t blame her and she did make a good attempt. He really couldn’t believe the man was gone. He had offered to treat them to a coffee and hot chocolate if they were up for it that is. He could probably use a coffee himself. He probably smells of booze and could use some sobering up a bit. Little Reah was so cute there chewing on her jumper. It had to be so hard for her and he felt so bad that she lost her daddy so young.

“Does that jumper taste good?” [/color] he had asked Reah. It was too adorable. He had been told to lead the way and lead them both to the closest coffee shop, and held the door open for them waiting for them to go in. Once they were in, he followed in tow. “Now, what can I get you lovely ladies?”[/color] He asked already knowing that Reah wanted a hot chocolate, but what kind of coffee did little miss evie want right now.

[.EVERTON ELIZABETH BRETT*]

Damon had asked Reah if her jumper tasted good and she shook her head at him. Evie couldn't help but laugh, she wasn't sure if she'd actually laughed before that point. Not since her dad. But with the cuteness that was Reah Brett she couldn't not. She'd followed Damon towards the coffee shop he was leading her to. Evie had now completely forgotten why she'd been searching for her phone so settled on just leaving it in her bag and pulling it over her shoulder. Reah looked so cute and had started some random conversation about Patrick's bed.

Damon held the door open for them and Evie slipped in, thanking him for holding it open and set Reah onto the floor, taking her hand so she didn't run in the way of people with hot drinks. Damon had asked what they wanted and Reah looked up at her, making it almost like she was asking permission to speak and Evie nodded at her. She then looked at Damon and cutely came out with 'can i have a hot chocolate with sprinkles please?' Evie then smiled at him. "Will you get me a decaff caramel latte? I can give you the money for it..." Evie offered, not wanting to assume it was a hand out and knowing she was capable of supporting the pair of them.

Ushering Reah over to a table, Evie let out a sigh and got her sat down, preparing herself with a pile of napkins because she knew what a mess she could be and let her baby sister have her new Hannah Montana coloring book and some crayons, whipping out her phone and quickly texting Riley to say she might be late home and not to worry she was fine. She couldn't tell him she was having a coffee with Damon, she couldn't risk the drama that could entail. He completely walked out on Riley's best friend, it wasn't exactly going to go down WELL was it? But he was Evies friend and she could use all the friends she could get.

[DAMON ADAM DAMARA]

Damon had asked little miss Reah if that jumper of hers tasted good seeing as she had been chewing on it. It made him wonder if she was hungry too, but his thought was interrupted by Evie actually laughing. It was good to hear her laugh. He hadn’t for sometimes seeing as he has been gone, but even more so he figured she hadn’t since her dad’s accident. He didn’t know what had happened and didn’t feel it was his place to ask her what happened to him. He had ushered them to the coffee shop and inside, where he ahd asked the ladies what he could get them.

Evie had let Reah down and she was walking which had to give Evie a break in the arms department with the whole hold me bit he was sure, but he had no idea about the slayer bit of her life or the strength she has now and that she could probably bench press his ass and eat him for breakfast if she wanted too. She surly could kick his ass that was for sure… Reah had actually spoken on her own that she wanted a hot chocolate with sprinkles. “A hot chocolate with sprinkles it is, precious. “

she really was such a precious little girl. So adorable… She was so polite too saying please. Evie had asked for a decaf caramel latte and told him that she could pay for it…

Damon shook his head at that. “ It’s okay Evie. I got it.. I did offer to treat you ladies.. Now what kind of gentlemen would I be if I made you pay ? My mother would be so disappointed in me. Offering to treat two lovely ladies to a drink and make them pay… that is so not my style missy..”[/color] She should know that despite the fact that he left Karlie that he had always tried to be a gentlemen and that was how he had been raised. He had ordered his drink and Evie’s and waited for the drinks as she found them a table and got herself some napkins probably for the little tot. He had paid for their drinks then headed over to the table.

He had handed each their drinks. “ Be careful Reah it is very hot, but if you need it cooled some I can always get some milk to put in for it or ask for some ice.”[/color] he had told them as he settled in his seat. “ How has things been around here prior to what is going on now? Anything new?”[/color] Damon asked trying to make a little conversation seeing as well he has been away and out of the loop with a lot of stuff being in Chelsea and all. He knew things now would be really hard on Evie with her father passing on. He did hope she had loads of help with everything. He hadn’t contacted any of them at all…

“ Riley and them doing okay?”[/color] he knew he should probably go see them, but well it was hard. He made a mess out of things and he didn’t think any of them would understand. He should have wrote them at least eh? He didn’t have to leave a return address and sent them a post. He has missed a few birthday’s. He has missed a lot with his new life. He hopes that one day they could all forgive him, but right now they all probably do hate his guts and deep down Evie probably still does, but this girl in front of him is full of surprises…

[.EVERTON ELIZABETH BRETT*]

Reah loved Damon’s dad so it only seemed right that she liked him too. I think the whole buying her hot chocolate thing sealed the deal. He’d confirmed her drink and called her precious. She of course grinned like a loon with this. Evie obviously thought she was precious but she was a teeny bit bias. Damon refused to let her pay which she kinda knew he would. It was sweet though. Considering he was the guy that completely left her best friend with nothing but a note he was always so sweet to her. Evie cleared the table as Riley came over with the drinks and smiled up at him and a “Thank you!” was muttered towards him.

Handing over the drinks, Damon warned Reah about the heat of her drink and she just nodded at him. He then asked Evie how things had been prior to losing her dad. “Erm they were slowly deteriorating to be honest. It was mainly okay but there were a few things that were… not good!” Evie looked down at the table and shook her head. She cant believe that a couple of weeks ago her biggest problem was her watcher. One thing really could change everything. She was starting to get upset when she was interrupted with a new question, how Riley and everyone was.

Letting out a small sigh Evie thought before answering. Should she mention Karlie? Would he even want to know? “Riley’s good. He was working hard until all this stuff happened. I honestly don’t know much about whats going on with anyone but him and…” then she dropped the bomb. “….Karlie.” She kind of frowned and looked for him to react. She coughed gently when he’d reacted and moved on. “Anyway what have you been doing with yourself mr?”

[DAMON ADAM DAMARA]

Meeting under these circumstances’ really was a little bit odd for Damon, but he was trying to make the most of it and knew there was bound to be some awkward situations seeing as well they did have the same friends for the longest time now, and he had dropped off the face of the earth with only a goodbye note to Karlie on the mirror which he was sure it would have made her hate his guts.. So far Evie hadn’t mentioned her. It was sweet that Reah adored him, but she probably was too young to know the things that he had done and understand them right? He had asked her how things had been prior to her dad’s incident, and she told him that things were slowly deteriorating. He frowned at that slightly. “I am sorry to hear that, I do hope these things get better. I am sorry if they are not. I am sure they will someday.”

Damon wasn’t sure what was deteriorating seeing as he doesn’t know everything about Evie. He assumed that things with Riley and her were what was deteriorating.

She let out a small sigh when he asked how Riley was doing. Was that the wrong thing to ask? Was it really her and Riley that were deteriorating? He was a little confused, and scratched his head slightly taking a sip of his coffee, before looking at little Reah, before back at Evie. She had told him Riley was good and had been working hard till all of this had happened. Damon knew Riley was probably trying to be there for her as much as he can threw this difficult time. It had to be hard on all of them. The families were so close. He wondered if her mum had approached her. It wasn’t a thing to ask though. He really did hope things get better with her. It will be a while before things start to get better for her he was sure. It was a difficult loss for both her and Reah.

She had then told him that she didn’t know much about anyone else except Riley and Karlie, he had bit his lip at that and frown a bit, his gaze down to his coffee, as he picked at a napkin pulling it into little pieces, at the awkwardness. He did wonder how she was doing. He let out a soft low sigh at that. He should have knew this would come up, and she had asked him how he has been and what he has been up to. “I have been okay. Keeping busy, working. Which to most that would be a shocker. Mr. Damon Damara working…” he had stated. It was a shocker, but he was trying to do something with himself after the mess he had gotten into with the Magic’s. He was actually seeing some kind of council for his problems. He didn’t mention yet he was seeing a councilor. He wished he could have just drank them away and stayed here. He does miss his friends. He missed seeing them all, and that does make him sad her doesn’t get to see them, but he made his bed and left and now he has to lay in that. He could try to explain, but well they wouldn’t understand it.

“I am sorry that you are in the middle of all the Karlie & myself drama. That all of you were smack dab in the middle of it. I am sorry I left with out saying goodbye and started all this shit... I was in trouble lots of trouble. Still am, but I am trying to get myself out of it…I didn’t want any of you to get hurt especially, Karlieann. I didn’t trust myself to be around her. I know she probably hates my guts. I am surprised you don’t and I did deserve that slap you gave me. I know I am sorry doesn’t make up for it, or excuse my actions and ways I went about it. I am not the most logical thinker when the tide is high. I screwed up royal. One day I do hope you can forgive me. I hope Karlieann is doing well for herself. She is a smart girl even if she doesn’t always believe it. She deserves to be happy. I want her to be happy.”[/color] Damon explained some, not knowing really if he should have or not, but he did want to let her know that he is sorry that he had abandoned all of them even if it doesn’t make up for what he did.

“I really do want to be here for you and Reah threw this tough time if you do need me. I will understand Evie if you don‘t want anything to do with me and if you want me to stay away from th e funeral. I don‘t want to cause a mess.” He wanted to be here for his mother too. He would stop in more often. He had to face Karlie sometime. He knew that was going to be difficult. Damon really would understand if she didn’t want him to show, and he does hope that one day she can forgive him, and that she can get passed all this stuff with her dad and find happiness once again even if it does take time. With all he just said. He wouldn’t blame her if she stalked out of slapped him again. “ I hate us meeting up again has to be under this circumstances, and I do wish they were better circumstances. I really am sorry for everything that has happened..[/color] He really did wish he could bring her father back for them. Poor Reah. She hardly knew the man and it was heart breaking to him that she didn’t really get a chance to know him. He wondered if Evie and Riley still planned to get married. She will make a beautiful bride one day. He was sure of it. Reah would make a spectacular and precious looking flower girl. He could already sort of picture it in his head. He was sure he wouldn’t be invited to that, but he knows she will look amazing. “ Can I get either of you anything else.” [/color] he had asked. He was lucky he wasn’t killed yet being in back in Camden.

[.EVERTON ELIZABETH BRETT*]

You would have thought Evie would find it weird sitting here with Damon after all this time but she didn't. She also didn't hate him for what he did, nor did she expect an explanation. Riley was different, he was so close to Karlie and yes it may have been horrible to see her in the state he left her in but that was between them. It wasn't for her to judge. Especially right now when she was realizing that life was far too short for petty arguments and falling outs.

'I hope things get better'. Sweet words meant only in the kindest of ways but Evie knew they wouldn't. Maybe one day she was going to feel better about losing her dad, despite the fact she didn't really want to. But being a slayer? That was something Evie was never going to get rid of. She'd already had the discussion with Riley that she wasn't sure if she'd ever want to now. Knowing what was out there you couldn't not want to fight, well if you had a conscious anyway. But it put her and people she cared about straight in the line of fire.

Listening to Damon explain, not only did Evie find herself confused, she also found it kind of humorous. He'd been saying how he didn't want to get her hurt but clearly they knew more than he did on that matter. He'd said how he understood if she hated him and told him if she wanted him to stay away from the funeral he'd understand and Evie just burst out laughing. As she laughed, Reah had shot a look at her with so much confusion. Evie kept laughing, properly laughing in a way that was kind of embarrassing but she couldn't stop.

Bringing her hand to cover her face, her laughter turned very quickly to tears. She closed her eyes attempting to stop the floods and heard a chair move but hadn't been aware of whos it was until she felt something go around her waist, looking down to see Reah hugging her. Scooping her into her lap, Evie hugged her and tried to regain herself and looked at Damon. "You leaving was your choice. I'm not trying to make anything worse and I don't care what happened with you and Karlie, that's between you two, but don't bull shit me and say its because you didn't want us hurt!!! Trust me physically you couldn't have hurt Karlie and the only way you could have hurt her was doing what you did!"

Just like Damon wasn't the most logical thinker, she wasn't always the most logical talker. She was different to Karlie, Karlie would scream, shout and throw things. Evie? Evie would just get upset and tell you the things that you know but haven't been saying. Maybe she was saying things she shouldn't say right now, that's the lack of logic, but she was being honest. "You can't under estimate us Damon. We've all got things about us that you don't know. We're stronger than you think! Hell we're probably stronger than you are! If you'd just trusted us like you should have.. maybe we could have helped! But you didn't. You left. Karlie's not doing well. Neither am I. Life is pretty shit but you would already know that if you cared enough."

It was how Evie saw it. If you loved someone, if you truly cared, how could you just walk away and be completely and totally gone from their life?? Evie could never walk away from Riley and if something ever happened that meant she had to she'd always want to know what was going on. How he was. Even if she had to be sneaky about it, she'd have to know. Evie had seen the worst of the worst the last few months. Things that made her worry about her friend and families safety and maybe she was right to do so, especially after her dad, but she never walked away. It would have been totally useless.

Through everything she'd said, Evie had been completely unknowing of Damon's struggle with magic but she DEFINITELY would have been able to help had she known. A slayer and a bunch of people with magic abilities.. how could he really have any problems? Evie had yet to find anything that could really truly bring her down and as far as she knew Karlie had cheated death a couple of hundred times.

There hadn't been anything else that they needed or that Damon could provide them with so she'd didn't feel too bad she'd just kind of by passed his question. Reah had at some point fallen asleep on her which though cute just meant she'd be a crabby little so and so when Evie had to wake her up to return to their shopping.
