Old Ties

[momoftwins13]

Marley could have cried as the game got so close and all of the pressure fell on Evan for the win. He and Zoe actually sat in the stands holding hands as they watched the game unfold. With only a few seconds left, Evan lobbed the ball far and high.

The stadium few eerily silent. Until the ball was caught. STATE HAD WON.

Cheers erupts all around, people ignored security and jumped the barriers, rushing the field. Zoe and Marley were among those people but instead of rushing the players, Marley hung back watching Evan celebrating with his team. He looked so ecstatic. It was a dream come true for him and she didn't want to interrupt him.

Instead, she just stood back as people danced and cheered all around- until finally Evans eyes met hers. They both stood stil amongst the chaos, lost in each others eyes until she finally smile a tiny smile, breaking the spell.

 

[LeftyT]

Through all the chaos Evan was oddly calm. Maybe it hadn't hit him yet, maybe the ribs hurt too bad, maybe it was the fact that the one person in the world he wanted to share this moment with was no where to be seen.
Then he saw here, they just stared at each other for a moment before she gave him a little smile, and they started to make their way across the ocean of people towards each other.
After a few steps, a pretty lady with a microphone and her cameraman stepped in front of him. "Evan, what a great victory for your program, tell us your thoughts."
"Honestly, I can't believe what just happened. Try won the game for us, you should be talking to him, without that kick return, we would have never been in a position to win the game.". She asked him about the last play "I just threw the ball is hard as I could, I was on the ground when it ended, to be honest i don't even know who caught the ball!". He gave her a winning smile. "Evan tell us more about the incident with the gunman only one week ago."
"Sorry, ma'am, I can't talk about that right now, thank you."

He started running toward Marley. When they met, they gave each other the biggest hug ever. She asked him what the reporter had asked.
"She just asked me who the cutest player on my team is, I told her #33."
Marley giggled and squeezed him even tighter. "Owwwww, the ribs, baby, careful, I'm not a tough softball player ya know.."

Neither of them noticed the several cameras surrounding them, capturing their celebratory embrace.

[momoftwins13]

Marley watched as the news crew interviewed Evan but when he was done he ran towards her and to him. Her heart was pumping and she WAS proud to be his girlfriend whether people knew or not.

He gave her a huge hug and she returned it. He smelled of sweat and dirt but she had never smelled anything better at that moment in time.

She squeezed him tight and he moaned in pain. They were totally oblivious to the cameras all around as she gazed up tenderly at him. She ran her hand soothingly down his ribs, a tender, intimate gesture that belied their relationship without them realizing it.

"Are you ok?" She asked worriedly.

They were also unaware of Zoe and his parents standing a bit away with knowing smiles on their faces as they watched the interaction between the two kids.

Just then Evans teammates came running up and instead of dumping a container of gatorade on their coach they poured it on Evan, and consequently, Marley, drenching them both and making marley's shirt stick to her body in several sexy areas.

 

[LeftyT]

Evan and made their way over to his parents and Zoe. Hugs and kisses all around. Evan's Dad was asking all kinds of questions about the big plays, Hus mom just seemed concerned about his ribs. Just then Ty came over, gave high fives to Evan, his dad and hugs to Marley, Zoe, and Mrs. McCarty. "Coach wants us in the locker room in 5 min"
Evan said goodbye to his mom and dad, his mom informed him the Zoe and Ty had been invited to tomorrow's dinner. She gave Evan and Marley a knowing wink and said "stay out of trouble tonight you two."
When it was just the two of them left Evan said "it will be CRAZY around campus tonight. I want to take you to all the parties. Keep in touch, text me, ok ?" He gave her another kiss before heading in the tunnel to the locker room.

 

[momoftwins13]

Marley was oblivious to anything but Evan. The celebration raged on all around them as the team and fans all went crazy with excitement. They had just beat the number ten college in the nation with their FOURTH STRING QB. Evan and Ty were hailed as heroes.

it will be CRAZY around campus tonight. I want to take you to all the parties. Keep in touch, text me, ok?

Marley nodded and smiled softly as he kissed her again- the camera taping every move. She then said goodbye to his parents and Zoe and headed back to dorm. The campus was filled with students celebrating. Parties were already popping up all over the place.

She got to the relative calmness of her dorm and sent Evan a text.

Hey babe. I can't wait to see you. Come to my dorm when you are done. We will go to a few parties afterwards. XO

She hit send and then changed her clothes to something for a party. She chose a cute clingy little sundress that showed off her gorgeous body. She put heels on and fixed her hair up and added some makeup.

Just as she finished she heard a knock in her dorm room door. She opened it and smiled brightly as she saw Evan, looking gorgeous and every woman's dream come true.

 

[LeftyT]

When she opened the door, he took a deep breath, and before she could even say hello he said "you....look.....AMAZING!!!!! ". She blushed, and smiled, which he found even cuter. He bent downto give her a kiss, then we walked in and paced around the small room as he told her all about what happened in the locker room. The coach told them it was the biggest win for the program since the year before Evan was born, and he and Ty both got game balls.

He looked out the window onto the campus. " Marley, I am king of the campus tonight. And you are my queen. Those people out there are my loyal subjects, and they are throwing parties in my honor! There will be many babies made on campus tonight my dear, and the boys will be named EVAN!!!!!! Bwa haha!!!!"

He smiled at her, he knew he was being silly, and he could tell she liked it. He was making fun of himself, he felt that comfortable around her.

She smiled and went to her little fridge, she pulled out a small bottle of champagne, he popped the cork, and she poured them each a glass.

He sat on the couch, pulled her down on his lap......he smiled at her and whispered in her ear, "wecould just stay here, i'm sure we could find way to entertain ourselves, eh my queen? He put his hand on her thigh. He suddenly envisioned helping her out of that cute little dress, taking her to the bed, and them both giving in to all the pent up sexual energy and tension.

She smiled sweetly, and said that this was his night, once in a lifetime they should go enjoy themselves.

 

[momoftwins13]

Marley and Evan hung out alone for a little while just basking in their newfound relationship; touching and kissing and just being silly together. Until finally Evans phone buzze several times as people began asking where he was. There was one particular party where most of his team was hanging.

Zoe was going to be there as well, invited by Ty. Marley briefly wondered if they were hooking up or dating. But she forgot all about the questions when Evan asked if she was ready to go.

Marley grabbed her phone and clutch purse and followed him out the door. The party they were going to was across campus at one of the senior player's houses. By the time they got there cars lined the streets and people poured from the doors. Marley had never seen so many people at the same party. It was packed.

Suddenly, as they were walking up she had a flashback of the gunman and her step faltered. They weren't holding hands, so as not to draw unwanted questions- he still wanted to keep it under wraps for the one being- so Evan went a few steps before noticing Marley had stopped.

At his questioning glance she took a deep breath.

"Sorry" she said as she caught up. "Just remembered last time. Its ok, though".

Together they walked into the party, which erupted in deafening cheers at the sight of Evan. Immediately he was surrounded and Marley was pushed away. She just laughed it off and went to find a drink, letting him bask in his moment.

 

[LeftyT]

As soon as he walked in the door at the party, all sense of normalcy ended. This was what it waslike to be a star. Senior players that had never given him the time of day were coming up and slapping him on the back. Guys he had never met were high diving him and handing him drinks, girls were coming up and kissing him, and trying to give him their numbers. He tried to discretely turn them down, but some just slipped them in his pocket

He looked for Marley, who looked amused and amazed at the spectacle. He was worried that she might feel slighted or jealous of the attention, but this was more than he ever dreamed of. He gota text from an NFL player congratulating him on the game. How did he get Evan's number?

Marley caught up to him in the kitchen of the house. She asked if he was having fun, but she sounded sarcastic. She had seen a girl slip him her number. He reached in his pocket and threw*it away, but she just shook her head.

"Marley, this is what I play the game for....all the hours of practice in the rain and snow....I'm good! I won the game today!!!!!!". He knew it sounded arrogant, but he was feeling bulletproof and the alcohol was bringing it all out....

Just then he looked up and a beautiful girl across the room was waving to him and smiling....Marley really looked upset.....

 

[momoftwins13]

Evan was in his element at the party. Everyone was chatting with him and wanting to hang out. Girls especially. A ton of them were chatting him up, flirting with him. Winking. Kissing his cheek. Giving him their numbers.

Marley tried not to let it bother her. He wasn't doing anything wrong. But with every girl that touched him, a little more jealousy flared up within her. She finally got a moment to talk to Evan and couldn't help but feel hurt by how he failed to take her feelings into consideration. So much for being his queen.

And then he looked up and directly at a stunning girl standing a few feet away who blew him a kiss. Marley turned and went to get another beer.

Some drunk girl walked up to her as she poured it.

"You're the girl who came with Evan tonight" she slurred. "It must suck to come with him then have him pay attention to lots of hot girls. I mean you're cute but they're all gorgeous".

Marley felt tears well in her eyes and decided to go take a few minutes alone. She walked off without a word and went outside. The back yard was big and fenced in. She saw a bench over by a shed and garden and decided to go sit for a while, alone.

She hoped everyone would just leave her alone and let her get some peace so she could think about everything that was happening.

She was falling hard for Evan. And he was too busy being a superstar to care, apparently. More tears filled her eyes and she dashed them away angrily just as she heard footsteps approaching from behind her.

 

[LeftyT]

Needless to say, Evan was enjoying himself. The senior Wide Receiver who caught the first TD pass had cornered him, and they were discussing the pass, and that he needs to get the ball more if Evan got more playing time.
He suddenly realized Marley was nowhere to be seen, he looked around for her when he saw Zoe.
"hey Zoe, where did Marley go?"
"outside"
"why"
"I would assume to get away from you!"
"why get away from me?"
Zoe looked at him like you would look at a child who did something wrong without realizing it.
"evan, you clueless bastard, woman are throwing themselves at you, and you are loving it. I know you think you aren't doing anything wrong, but I also know you guys have some sort of relationship, I'm not stupid. Enjoy your evening as big man on campus, but show her some respect too. She adores you, Evan."
"thanks Zoe, you're right"
He started to go around Zoe and head to the door to the backyard. Zoe stepped in front of him.
"let me go and talk to her, I'll calm her down first. Come out in a few minutes, and say you're sorry."
He originall thought of Zoe as laid back and cool, but know he saw her protective, controlling side, she was a good friend to MArley.

He went back and talked to Ty for a bit.

About a minute later he heard a commotion by the back door, someone was screaming. then he heard his name, looked up and saw Zoe running in the door she just left through, "EVAN! EVAN McCARTY!!!! COME OUTSIDE NOW!!!! AND BRING THE WHOLE FOOTBALL TEAM!!!! HURRY DAMN IT!"

 

[momoftwins13]

"Well if it isn't the little tattletale skank from back home".

Marley heard the voice from her nightmares sneering behind her and stood up immediately, spinning to face him. Kirk stood before her, all 5"11, 200 lbs of him, looking mad enough to spit nails.

Marley found herself stumbling back a step and backing against the wooden shed.

"So, you think you can just wreck my life and get away with it? Then turn around and fuck my best friend behind my back?"

Marleys eyes widened, wondering how he knew.

Kirk laughed maliciously. "Yeah. I saw you and Evan on tv today looking so much the cozy little couple". He was pacing back and forth in front of her like a predator stalking it's prey. He had her cornered and knew it.

"I came here to find that backstabbing bastard... But finding you is just as well. Ill get to him when I'm finished here".

Marley looked around for someone to help her but saw nobody. Just then she saw Zoe step out onto the back deck.

"ZOE GET EVAN!" Marley screamed just as Kirk grabbed her by the throat and slammed her to the shed wall, making her hit her head, and see stars. His grip was tight in her throat and made breathing nearly impossible but Marley fought. She kicked and clawed at him, but her small stature was no match for him. He merely laughed and snarled as she fought him.

Vaguely Marley was aware of Zoe screaming in the background.

Her vision grew dim and yet she still fought. She was on the verge of passing out when suddenly Kirk dropped her in a pile on the ground and spun away from her.

"Ahh. The star quarterback. What's up buddy?" He sneered as Marley struggled to catch her breath and Zoe helped her stand.

 

[LeftyT]

When Evan got outside and saw what was happening, he ran to the scene, he found Marley lyning in the grass and dirt, on her back, crying. Zoe ran over and put her arms around Marley to comfort her.

When Kirk turned around and gave Evan his greeting he knew they would fight, Evan hadn't been in a fight since junior high. Evan was bigger than Kirk, but Kirk was solid muscle. Evan didn't have much hope in a fight between them but all bets were off when he saw Marley and looked at the red welts and scrattches on her neck, the neck he was kissing last night.

"I wasn't good enough for the little bitch, but she gave it up fast for the prettyboy quarterback" snarled Kirk.

"shut up Kirk, why don't you just leave now?" Evan was surprised at how calm his voice sounded. By now most of the football team had gatherered around and most of the partygoers too. Evan was reminded of last week and his confrontation with Marley, when he actually stood up for this scubag.

"she's in your head, ain't she McCarty. She must be fucking you GOOD. They must give dick sucking classes here at State, cuz when she wsa with me, she was a shitty lay. Mr Prettyboy Quarterback could get better pussy than that just walking down the street."

There were some laughs in the onlooker, some one on the team said "kick this fucker's ass, Evan"

Evan tried one more time, "Kirk this is a football players party, you weren't invited, you aren't a football player, you work at fuckin wal-mart. Leave!" Evan could tell Kirk was trying to bait him into a fight...

"she was such a little bitch......ruined my life. Just because the first time we fucked, she didn't want to do it, but I made her.....a little physical motivation doesn't hurt.....just pull her hair, twist her arm, she'll give it up." The evil grin on Kirk's face showed everyone he was enjoying this.

"you should be thanking me old buddy...I broke her in for ya"

Evan heard Marley give a pathetic sob, and that was it.

He lanched himself at Kirk, Kirk was stronger but Evan was much quicker, and motivated. He surprised himself at the rage he felt, he quicky shoved Kirk against the wall of the house and grabbed Kirk neck with his hands. He pushed his thumbs into kirk's adam's apple and tried to close his hands around his neck.

Kirk looked shocked, and afraid. Evan had such a grip on Kirks neck that he was turning red and started to chocke and wheeze. Kirk was paralyzed, he couldn'tbelieve this was happening.

"you like choking people kirk" he yelled....."how does it feel? You like it? How's it feel MOTHER FUCKER!!!!!!!!!!!" his rage and anger nd strength surprised him, Kirk was trying to fight back, but Evan's strength got more powerful the more he heard Marley cry. "how's it feel to be choked like a bitch? How bout me and my teammated BREAK YOU IN?"

Kirk looked as if he would lose conciousness any moment.

Finally Evan heard Ty's voice...."Evan, you gonna KILL this fucker, coach won't like that."

 

[momoftwins13]

Marley was shaking violently as she watched Evan and Kirk square off. Tears flowed from her eyes as Zoe hugged her tight. Evan remained calm for a bit but then seemed to snap. He launched himself at Kirk and pinned him to the wall. Several people gasped around them. Kirk fought but wasn't strong enough to break Evans hold.

Murmurs raced through the crowd. Marleys heart raced as she watched the struggle. Ty was behind Evan, reaching out nervously. He spoke to Evan in a calm but shaking voice. Evan seemed to hear but not listen.

Marley broke free of Zoe and darted to Evans side then. She grabbed his arm and pulled, careful to avoid any blows from Kirk's swinging fists.

"Evan!" She cried. "Evan let go please. I'd love to see you kill him but you can't". Tears streaked down her face. "Please Evan" her voice bordered in hysterical and was raspy from lack of air earlier.

Several of Evans teammates had moved closer, ready to step in as break up the struggle if need be. If Evan wouldn't let go. Ty pulled Marley away from Evan as Kirk struck out and almost hit her in the face. Marley struggled against Ty's hold, sobbing.

"Stop him Ty! Stop him!" She cried out desperately.

 

[LeftyT]

Ty pulled Evan away momentarily, Evan's team mates rushed in, but the split second was all kirk needed.....

Evan had never been punched in the face before, he had always wondered what it felt like. This wasn't what he expected, it felt more like someone slammed him in the face with a brick. He blacked out, but he heard a sickening crack of something breaking, he assumed it was his nose. He heard the crowd give a low surprised groan...

Evan stumbled backwards two steps, then just fell to his knees.

He heard Ty say "awwww shit man, I'm sorry" He heard Kirk say something about smashing Evan's pretty face, then he saw all his teammates rush in and pummel Kirk to the ground.

He felt Marley's embrace, heard her cries, then he looked down and noticed the blood gushing from his nose, all over his shirt, his hands, and the ground.

He heard someone in the crowd say they didn't know that much blood could come from anyones nose, someoen else in the crowd just threw up, right there on the spot. He heard Zoe yell "Call 911 damn it!!!!!!" Ty took off his shirt and gave it to Marley to sop up the blood.

Marley had her arms around Evan, she started to srtoke his hair, and say "it's ok baby, i'm sooooo sorry, you were sooooo brave, you'll be fine, I promise....he saw that Marley was covered in his blood.

"my face hurts" was all he could manage.

He saw flashing red lights then he passed out. Zoe was guiding the EMT's over to Evan, MArley asked them if he would be ok. "I'm sure he will ma'am, but were are taking him to the hospital just to be sure." You girls can come with us in the ambulance.

 

[momoftwins13]

Marley screamed as Ty pulled Evan away and Kirk lunged. She heard the sickening sound of flesh on flesh and bone snapping. She saw Evan crumple to the ground and blood spurt from his nose.

She hear Kirk's sickening cackle and his words. She saw what seemed like the entire football team jump him. She heard him screaming as he received blow after blow from them.

But she was focused on Evan and the sever amount of blood he was losing. She caught the shirt Ty tossed her and tried to stem the blood flow, Evan groaning in pain and tears pouring from her eyes.

"You asshole" Marley murmured between sobs. "You protective, sweet, loving asshole. You had to get hurt".

An ambulance arrived and the paramedic said the girls could ride. Zoe glanced at a shirtless Ty.

"Marley, we will meet you there. You go with Evan".

Marley nodded and walked to the ambulance with Evan where the paramedics began taking his blood pressure and checking him over. Marley sat back against the ambulance side, still crying, but silently now.

The paramedic in the back glanced at her.

"Ma'am are you ok? You're neck... Are those had prints?!" He exclaimed.

Marley rubbed her neck where it was slightly swollen and starting to bruise.

"The other guy" she said hoarsely.

"Oh yeah. They called another bus for him" the medic said. "Apparently after he sucker punched you, your buddies took care of him pretty well. Probably gonna need reconstructive surgery. Can't say I feel bad for him though if he did that". He nodded towards marleys mottled red throat.

The bleeding from Evans nose was slowing and she leaned forward, laying her head against his shoulder as the paramedic spoke to the driver up front.

"I was so scared" she whispered in Evans ear. "So scared".

 

[LeftyT]

Evan woke up in the emergency room, Marley sitting next to him, holding his hand.
He asked where he was and what happened, she told him they just brought him for observation, the Doctor would be back in soon.
"Doesn't hurt so bad" She told him that they gave him pain meds, they were mostly concerned now about a concussion.
The Doctor walked in, he inrtoduced himself to Evan.
"what's the story, Doc?"
You have a broken nose, and no other broken bones in your face. No concussion, no damage to your teeth. All in all, pretty good. You're a heavy bleeder, so everything looked much worse than it really was. You're going to be in a lot of pain for a couple days, and your face will bruise and swell a lot, that will last a week or two. But the only long term damage will be the cosmetic appearance of your nose. Depennding on how it heals, you may want cosmetic surgery sometime down the road."
The doctor sat down...."You guys should think about filing a police report. I'm not telling you what to do, but it looks like the person who did this had it out for both of you.....I see the marks on your friends neck here, maybe the authorities need to be notified, but I can only advice, not force you to do anything....maybe talk to your families."
I'll give you a prescription for some pain killer, jst keep the nose bandaged for 24 hours at least.
They both thanked the Doctor.
"Marley, how bad does it look?"
She gave him a mirror. "ouch....not so much a prettyboy right now? Am I?"

 

[momoftwins13]

Marley was relieved to hear that it was only a broken nose and no concussion or other broken bones. The doctor suggested them filing a police report and they nodded... they knew they should. The doctor left then to get his prescriptions. Evan asked how bad he looked.

Marley had never seen anyone more handsome.

She gave him a mirror and he grimaced. She smiled and kissed his cheek as softly as possible so as not to hurt him. She was upset he had gotten hurt in order to protect her.

"I would say maybe it'll make all the other girls back off now... But the way you acted will probably make them want you more" she said, a hint of sadness and jealousy tinging her voice. She was still upset over the way the night before had gone down. He had hurt her by acting the way he did with all of the girls- like his old "manwhore" self... She had hoped that would go away since they were together.

 

[LeftyT]

"I would say maybe it'll make all the other girls back off now... But the way you acted will probably make them want you more"

"yeah, about that....I realize that I failed the very first boyfriend test. No excuse, Marley. I was inconsiderate and all wrapped up in myself. It was unlike any other night of my life, and trying to have it be our first night as a couple was a terrible idea. I hurt you, I'm sorry."

He realized that an examing room in an ER was hardly the most romantic place in the world, but he continued...."When I walked out into that backyard, and saw you lying there and Kirk standing over you, it made me realize how important you are to me, and it made me feel like an ass for the way I acted erlier in the night. It made me realize how special you are, how much I care for you. As much as this hurts" He pointed to his face "the disgusting things he said about you hurt me even more."

She looked at him, not saying a word, but tears were welling up in her eyes.

"Marley, I have a serious question. Since last Saturday we went to a party and were shot at.....this Saturday we went to a party and this happens.....Next Saturday, just you and me, dinner and a movie, no parties, no other people, it will be like an actual date?"

 

[momoftwins13]

Marley felt the hurt melting away at his words. How could she remain mad at him when he said things like that, and was sitting there with a broken nose. She gave him a small, watery smile as a few tears tracked down her face.

"I should have just talked to you about how I was feeling instead of going outside and sulking. I'm sorry. If I hadn't been out there alone none of this ever would have happened".

"Next Saturday, just you and me, dinner and a movie, no parties, no other people, it will be like an actual date?"

Marley's smile widened. "That sounds good, hotshot". She leaned in and laid her head on his chest just as the doctor came in.

He gave them both a smile. "Here's your prescriptions Mr McCarty" he said and glanced at Marley. "You all thought more about what you wanna do about police? They're in the lobby. They always show up for party cases like this. You can press charges if you like. Especially you, Miss".

He looked pointedly at her throat. "Those are done nasty welts and bruises. He wasn't going to let go was he?"

Marley's eyes grew watery again. "I don't know sir. This is the second time this has happened with him. I had a restraining order but it ran out".

The doctor nodded.

"My opinion?" He said quietly. "Press charges on the bastard. Stick it to him".

He patted Evans shoulder and winked at Marley before leaving.

Marley glanced at Evan questioning his opinion. "Charges means another court date. First the gun guy and then Kirk. Do we want to have to face BOTH of them again?" Her voice trembled slightly at the thought.

 

[LeftyT]

"Marley, I hate to drop this all on you, but this is going to be your decision. As far as I'm concerned, Kirk and I are all set, from the sounds of it, my teammates had my back and as bad as this hurts, he's in a world of hurt that goes beyond a broken nose. Besides if this whole thing gets out, I could get members of my team in trouble. I understand if you want to go to the police, and I will support you 100%, but it is up to you. Maybe we should talk to our parents first? Tell them everything."
He thought for a moment....
"did anyone tell my parents about this?"
She told him she didn't want to upset them again and she thought Evan could call them in the morning.
"should make for an interesting dinner conversation" he said with a smile.

"whatever you want to do baby" he said as he kissed her forehead.

 

[momoftwins13]

Marley sighed. Looked like she had a decision to make and it wasn't an easy one. She didn't want to face Kirk again. And yet she wanted him to get what he deserved. Apparently he had already then the shit beat out of him but he deserved more.

She looked at Evan. "You'll be with me... In court? If I... If I press charges?"

He nodded and she took a deep breath.

"Ok. I have some police to go talk to I guess".

She held her hand out. He had his discharge papers and was free to go and she needed him with her at that point in time. They walked together out to the waiting room where the police were waiting. They stood as they approached.

"Miss Crist?" The taller of the two asked. Marley nodded.

"We have a few questions. I'm assuming those marks in your neck were put there at the hands of the boy named Kirk?"

Marley commenced to answering all of their questions got he best of her knowledge. Evan stood by her the entire time and for that she was extremely grateful.

 

[LeftyT]

He stood next to her the whole time as she answered all their questions. He held her hand, giving light squeezes when they asked a particularly graphic or personal question.
They asked Evan a few questions as well, for verification, and he answered them trying not to say anything that would get anyone in trouble. He said he didn't know much about what happened after he got punched, which was the truth. Judging by the look of his face and the bandages, the cops took his word for everything.
After she answered all their questions, the officers gave her their cards, told her to call if she remembered anything else.
"great job, Marley, he reassured her. "i'll be here for you through it all, I promise."

She asked him how he felt and what he wanted to do next.

"well, my dear, I was thinking that we would head back to my place and I could get clean clothes.....head over to your place and get cleaned up and out of these bloody clothes, then get some breakfast, I'm soooooooo HUNGRY, I'm sure you are too." Then we go back to your place, crawl in bed for a few hours sleep, then head to my parent's house."

 

[momoftwins13]

Marley breathed a sigh of relief when the questioning was over. Now she just had to wait for the court date which would be worse but she chose not to dwell on that right now.

Together they walked out, hand in hand.

He suggested they make a few stops, eat and then climb in bed. Marley nodded gratefully. They grabbed a cab and headed to his dorm then. In the cab Marley leaned her head against Evans strong shoulder and rested her heavy eyes.

It wasn't long before they got to his dorm. She followed behind him since she had yet to be there and waited while he unlocked it and opened the door. Marley heard Evan chuckle and peeked around to see why.

What he saw made her jaw drop and she laughed too.

"OH GIRL! You are SO busted!" She shouted as they walked in the small room.

 

[LeftyT]

When Evan unlocked the door he could tell immediately that Ty had a girl in there, no surprise. He tried to be as quiet as he could and not wake them up. He reached for a shirt and some sweatpants and some toiletries so he could go over to Marley's place and clean up.

The girl moaned, streched, rubbed her eyes and said "what time is it?" She looked up at the disturbance by the bathroom and Evan looked over, and was shocked when he saw who it was. He breathed deeply, put his finger to his mouth in the universal "SSSSHHHHHHH" gesture, trying to protect Zoe's secret. Just then Marley opened the door to see what was taking him so long...

"YOU ARE SO BUSTED!!!!!!!!!!!" He heard Marley yell, and Zoe picked up the sheet to cover herself up, Evan looked down at the floor awkwardly, and Ty woke up and realized what was going on. Marley laughed and pointed a finger at her friend.

"um.....well, you see......"Zoe stammered.

Evan took Marley by the hand to pull her out of the room and the awkward situation. "we saw nothing, we will leave now" Evan yelled over his shoulder as he headed out the door.

He was having a hard time, she obviously wanted to stay.
