Chapter 1 Prologue

• Eve
• Everything is pack and loaded in the back of the car. My heart ache looking at the lonely place I once called home.
• “Come on Evelyn we still have long drive ahead of us.” My mom shouts from inside the car. Today seems to be one of few days that she is sober. My parent had just gotten a divorce, due to my father infidelity.
• My father is the type to change girlfriend like one would change their cloth. Since I was a child he would come home with a different women every few week. Most of his mistress are the quite type. However, the most recent one is not quite as tamed.
• The harassment start 2 month ago. Every week she never fail to send us her regards. The various package contain a variety of my dad’s personal item. Which includes but not limited to boxer, underwear, shirt, etc.
• The deal breaker for my mother is a mystery box that contains a broken used condom. My mother had enough and finally decided to end it with my father. I was surprise that she held out for so long. One last glance before I had to leave this place forever.
• “Where are we going?” I asks, settling in the passenger seat. Everything happened so fast that I didn’t have the chance to say goodbye to Adam or Lexis. They are the two the worth remembering from this town.
• “We're going to my hometown, Apple valley.” Was all she said. I wanted to ask more, but it doesn’t seems like she want to talk. These days she barely said anything to me. My guess is that I bear striking resemblance to my father.
• 5 hours later
• “Evelyn, we're here.” She deadpan, waking me up from my slumber.
• I got out of the car to stretch, but I shiver when a gust of wind blow by. It is late winter going into early spring, the air is chilly, but a jacket is uncalled for.
• I sigh, taking in my surrounding. The home is locates in a quiet gated community with neighbor on both side and across the road. Everything looks so different compare to Crookston. Compared to my father mansion this home is not as extravagance, but cozy.
• “Evelyn, help me with the luggage.” Mom call from behind our trucks. We don’t have much with us, only multiple boxes of necessity and clothing for immediate use. Most of our stuff will here tomorrow in a moving trucks.
• It didn’t take long to bring everything inside. I’m down to the last two boxes and sigh. Since it not too heavy, I decide to one shot it. The boxes stack all the way to my face blocking my vision.
• “Great! How am I going to open the gate? I did not think this through.” I was grunting to myself when the gate open for me. Thank god.
• “Thank you!” I call out in my winded state.
• “You’re welcome.” A young man voice. Must be the neighbor.
• I begins to stagger and quickly went inside to put the boxes down. I come back out just in time for the Jeep Wrangler to pull out of the neighbor’s driveway. That must be him. Oh well, I will send him some cookies later.
• I went inside to my mother sitting in the couch with a bottle of wine in her hand. On the table were her credit, debit card and a stack of bills.
• “Evelyn, here is the credit card and my debit card. Every month your dad will send your support money to my account. Keep it and takes care of yourself and the bill.” She finalized and left the room.
• “I don't need money mom. I want you sober and healthy.” I whisper, more to myself then to her. I know full well that she will not listen to me.
• After complaining to myself and decided to start to unpack. Everything is settle in a few hours, and I was sweaty and exhausted. I decided to end the day with a warm soothing shower.
• Chris
• I was in my room, rubbing my chin after a clean shave when I heard a car come to a halt. I'm not expecting anyone, so it must be the new neighbor since, the for-sale sign was removed a few days ago.
• Someone finally moves in after the house had been sitting empty for 6 months. I wonder who my new neighbor is. I hope she is a beautiful, sexy women. I would be nice to spend a couple nights over.
• But that not important right now cause tonight I'm going to have a good time with Lucy, the hot senior from economic. She had a reputation for hook up; I was wondering what took her so long to contact me.
• I sigh when I got to the unlit living room and sigh. I parents and an older sister, they are always on business trip. I decided to stay behind due to personal reasons, so this place is always empty.
• I was pulling out of the drive but pause when I see the tiny women struggling to open the gate. I take pity on her and decides to give her hand.
• “Thank you.” I heard a small, sweet but old voice coming from the other side, before she went inside.
• Sigh, my new neighbor is and old women. There goes my good time. Lucy starts spam texting, so I left it at that. We had plan to go to dinner, catch a movie and then get some private entertainment.
• Next morning
• I wake up the next morning in the hotel room, feeling famish. It 10 am in the morning, and Lucy was still out of it. Sleeping next to me, still naked. They weren't kidding when they say she really good in bed. We were at it all night.
• “Lucy, wake up time to go.” I lightly shake her awake by the arm. She groans and hug my torso.
• “Last night was the best sex I've ever had. We should go out and do this again?” She suggests in her sexy groggy tone.
• Nope, last night was good. But she doesn’t satisfy me enough for a rebound. I’ve slept with many girls before but none of them have succeed in making me want to come back for a seconds.
• It doesn’t matter how good they are in bed my mind always finds a reason to refuse the second offer. Be it, too much makes up, too much perfume, attitude etc. Including her.
• To me she had too much make up on and her perfume too overbearing. Lucy is the kind of girl that would change to controlling and overbearing after promotion period so, no.
• “No, I don't do return or girlfriend.” I said bluntly. Her eyes brows furrow as she stares at me in shock. I’m willing to bet no one ever reject her before.
• “We both agree this is a onetime thing. You can't ask for more.” I deadpan, which angers her. She slaps me before storm off with her cloth. Bitch!
• I got home to a bag of cookies and a ‘Thank you’ note on my gate. Cookies and handwritten thank you note, my neighbor really is an old lady. I chuckles, shaking my head.
• The homemade cookie was amazing, but let leave her alone. I like to sleep around but I'm not a pedophile.
