Arthur’s angry face continued to soften looking at Eva as they stepped out into the night, from the ball. But Eva didn’t seem ready to completely leave, as she heaved all her thoughts off her chest. Sure, she had known him for so long, that made sense. What also made sense was that in the course of getting to know him, he developed feelings for her, and was becoming jealous of their relationship. Eva claimed that his forceful stunt didn’t help in disclaiming Matthew’s accusations of abuse. But Arthur only really knew how to deal with issues violently or with threats. Besides, Matthew was a coward, shake him up a bit and he should back off for a while. Eva was getting so upset, but it wasn’t like he beat up Matthew, as much as his body was telling him he should have. He just shook him up, no big deal. But Eva thought it had more to do with than trust, and that [i]she[/i] was the problem. Arthur rubbed the back of his neck thinking on it for a while. No, Eva did nothing wrong. She was perfect in so many ways… it was just that she was significantly more trusting of others than Arthur ever was. Not only that, but now she was scared of him too? For shaking up a guy a bit. If that scared her, then she would be petrified if she knew anything else about Arthur and his work.

[color=dodgerblue]“You’ve done nothing wrong, Eva.”[/color] In fact, Arthur felt like it was mostly his own fault. He was very protective of Eva recently, but this was mainly due to the fact that she seemed to get hurt every time they were separated. He had seen Eva crying too many times to feel comfortable with. [color=dodgerblue]“I’m just looking out for you, Eva. Do you not trust me and my actions?”[/color] Arthur looked down at her hand, as she laid her palm on his. He gently squeezed her hand, his eyes not wanting to pull away from that image. He felt guilty for making her feel afraid, she should never be afraid of him, because every action and decision he made was in order to protect Eva. But perhaps this was a good thing too… because now she would be getting a chance to see his truer colors. If she could accept him like this, then perhaps there was still a sliver of a chance she could accept who he really was.

The pair stopped abruptly when Gigi stepped in front of them, suddenly apologizing. Jacob looked relatively surprised by Gigi’s sudden outburst. He hadn’t really noticed before how their relationship had been changing. Sure, Alexander was still head over heels for Gigi, but for some odd reason, Gigi wasn’t distancing herself from him like she usually wood. This action of hers came as a complete surprise, and Jacob glanced towards Alexander, watching for a reaction. Alex pulled the lock of his eyes on the horizon down the Gigi, listening to her apology. She claimed it wasn’t what he thought. But he pulled on a small smile, his eyes softening slightly. [color=khaki]“Ah… min vackra blomma. You don’t have to lie to me. I’m sorry for pulling you around on the dance floor earlier. It obviously wasn’t something you enjoyed. Perhaps… I can make it up to you? We can go get ice cream?”[/color] Alexander’s eyes lit up slightly more at the prospect of making amends. He felt guilty, probably for embarrassing Gigi in front of her friends and classmates. It didn’t matter that she didn’t return feelings for him. He had to keep his head up and continue the good fight- for love! [color=khaki]“There is a good place not too far of a walk from here… and considering Arthur was our ride, maybe we should put our legs to some good use…”[/color]

Jacob, as if suddenly remembering that there was a 4th friend involved in this, looked around, seeing Arthur and Eva standing at a different exit. [color=teal]“Oi. They’re right over there. ARTHUR! EVA!”[/color] They obviously heard him calling, but Arthur didn’t seem to want to turn his head away from Eva. Were they having a serious conversation? Jacob wondered for a second before turning to Alyssa. [color=teal]“I have a question for you. Has Eva had a past relationship?”[/color] To anyone else that wouldn’t seem like a big deal. But perhaps to Arthur that would seem to matter.

Terrance, standing now quite some distance from his friends, grinned at Helene’s little prospect. But cursed under his breath for having decided to ride with Arthur rather than take his own car. But Terrance seemed to agree with Helene, it was taking too much of his own effort to hold back his feelings and actions much longer. [color=lightblue]“You wouldn’t happen to have a get away vehicle, would you?”[/color] Terrance smiled playfully towards Helene.
