notes.”
“Harmless? This one says ‘I’m watching you. It’s my turn next.’ What the hell, Eve? That’s not harmless.”
I snatch the note from Kayla’s hand and toss it into my back seat. “Stay out of it, Kayla! I have enough going on. Don’t create problems where there aren’t any.”
“Damn it. I’m going to drop this for the time being, since we have other problems to address, but we are not done with this conversation. We are leaving. I’ll follow you home.”
“Done with this conversation? You are not my mother, Kayla.”
“No, I’m not, but since you are deciding not to tell anyone about this I’m going to act like it until you pull your head out of your ass.”
“Fine. Whatever. Let’s just go.” I slide into my seat, slamming my door. Who the hell does she think she is?
I pull up in front of the guesthouse and Kayla is right behind me. My intentions were to jump straight into her car, and just shoot Theron a text, but my plan goes out the window, as I rush inside to the bathroom. I pass Evan on my way, but I don’t have time to explain.
I’ve thrown up everything I had in my stomach for the entire duration of my life in the last fifteen minutes. I am lying on the bathroom floor, absorbing the feeling of the cool tile on my face. I roll over to allow the other side of my face to rest on the tile. I never thought I would enjoy tile flooring so much in my life. Thoughts are crashing through my mind right now. A tear slips from the corner of my eye, rolling over my nose and down my other cheek. My hands immediately cover my stomach. I don’t need a test. I have no doubt in my mind that Kayla’s right, but I’m going to take one anyway. I think I need to see it for the idea to really set in.
Taking a couple of deep breaths, I sit up on the floor. I pull a towel down from the sink and dry my face. I couldn’t even make it to our bathroom, I’m sitting in Evan’s, completely grateful he’s a messy slob, so I don’t feel so awful about any mess I made. I make my way to the living room, but stop just short of the entranceway. I can hear Kayla and Evan talking in low whispers. Great. That’s all I need is Theron to find out, before I can figure out for sure what’s going on. I tip toe a little closer, trying to keep my body as flat to the wall as possible. I am eavesdropping and I don’t care.
“So, he doesn’t know?”
“No, she’s never said anything to him. Look, I know you all have a crazy amount of Days of Our Lives drama going on, but someone is watching Eve. The note I saw today is the final straw. I assumed she told someone, or she stopped getting them because she hasn’t mentioned them to me. But today, I saw that note on her car and she just tossed it in her backseat like it was nothing.”
“What do you want me to do? He’s going to flip shit because she didn’t tell him.”
“I know. That’s why you can’t tell him. I’m going to make sure she tells him, but in the meantime, someone needs to keep an eye out for her.”
“Okay. I’ll keep my eye out, but if she doesn’t tell him soon. I will.”
Shit. Kayla just told Evan about the notes. I swear if she told him about the pregnancy test, I’m going to kill her. I’ve had enough of being the topic of conversation, so I walk into the room. Of course, all conversation ceases, but I act like I don’t notice.
Evan’s expression is nothing but pure pity. “Everything okay?”
“Um, I think I might have some food poisoning. Have you seen, Theron?”
“Not today. He texted earlier and had me email him some documents, but I think he’s in meetings.”
Tears spring to my eyes. I really need him and he’s not here. I can’t be mad at him though. It’s not like he knew. Right? Right. Shit. Did I just ask and answer my own question? I’m losing it. “Okay. I’ll just text him. I’m going to go with Kayla for a little bit. If I need a ride later, can I call you?”
“Sure. No problem. You have
