"There was never an us." He was almost screaming.

The words are out of his mouth before he even realizes. Words that shouldn't hurt so much because she knew what this was, they both did. Still hearing the words out loud stung. Eva hadn't expected Chris to react in such a cruel manner when she brought up the subject of their relationship, or lack thereof.

"There was never an us, Eva." He said once again, this time in a hushed tone.

"I can't keep doing this Chris," Eva said calmly, "I am done with this, whatever it is."

Chris didn't move, didn't react at all because he knew that it was for the best. He simply remained leaning against the wall of the empty hallway watching Eva walk back into the party. He watched her walk away from him, for the last time it seemed.

Oddly Eva felt liberated to finally be rid of the dirty little secret that was Christoffer Schistad. Without even realizing it Eva had made her way towards a table full of alcohol. She reached out for the nearest bottle, and then she made her way outside. Hoping that the alcohol would make her forget and that the cold would make it easier to breath. Eva was able to keep it together.

Chris didn't mean anything, I'll be fine, Eva though drink from her bottle of bitter beer. These things are so damn disgusting. It didn't take long for Eva to feel the buzz from the alcohol and soon enough she was sawing left and right to the beat of the music from the party.

A pair of warm arms came to wrap around her shoulders. "Tell me what happened," Jonas said in the softest voice he could manage. Eva melted into Jonas hold and soon she was crying into him.

"It meant nothing … It was nothing … Why … Why does it hurt Jonas?" Eva managed to sob into Jonas chest.

"I'm going to take you home before you do anything you'll regret."

"Too late, Jonas. Tell me did you know what I was doing? Could you predict that it was only going to end in disaster?"

"Eva don't make this harder for yourself."

"Why? I got myself into this mess Jonas. I'm only getting what I deserve. Why couldn't I just … You loved me, once right? What is it about me that just repels people? Is it that hard to love me?"

"Eva I'll always love you, but right now I need you to hold on so I can take you home."

Deep down Eva had hoped that Chris would have been the one to come after her. But having Jonas take care of her was what she needed. Eva needed someone that knew her. Someone that wouldn't judge her when she broke down over a boy that didn't deserve her tears.

Chris knew that the best thing for both him and Eva was to end things. To put a stop to what they had before it became something that could ruin him. He didn't want to hurt Eva but inflicting pain on the girl seemed the only effective way out.

Not the only effective way, the quickest way out. Chris thought as he re-entered the party that he had hoped to skip, making his way to an open cooler for some beer. As he began to drown his bottle of beer he caught a glimpse of strawberry-blond hair. He couldn't help but stare at the girl that walked away from him just moments ago. She stood in a black dress and sparkling panty hose that had a tear, but God Damn did she look amazing. She stood before him as if she didn't have a care in the world. She looked perfectly fine.

This was all her fault, Chris shouldn't have been feeling anything at all, but Eva managed to get under his skin like no one else ever had. So, when Chris saw Jonas approach Eva everything went red. He was hugging her and holding her close. They looked to be having such an intimate moment that Chris felt like he was intruding. He should have been happy for Eva, but at that moment he was anything but.

Then he saw something that stirred an unknown emotion inside him. Chris could see the tears streaming down Eva's face. He had hurt her. He had pushed her back into Jonas arms. But wasn't that what he had wanted all along? Hadn't he wanted to get rid of the girl? But the horrible feeling in the pit of his stomach told him it was all a lie. That feeling told him that he was already into deep. That there would be no way out of his feelings for Eva.

It was too late Eva Kviig Mohn had ruined him.
