special to me!

evelyn snorted, rolling her eyes playfully. it almost always came down to that--being too busy. one thing she had promised herself when she decided to become an idol is that she wouldn’t let it control the way she lived her life. companies dictated every single aspect of their artists’ lives, and evelyn couldn’t stand with that. she refused. she ate when she wanted. she talked to whoever she wanted to, whenever she wanted to. and fear of what her manager or ceo would do was never on her mind. evelyn was always busy, too--there was always something on her plate, big or small, and for that reason she never realized what that was the excuse. she’d rather people say that they haven’t found a person who they like or even one they could take seriously. but too busy? nah, that was an excuse. that was fear. of the company, sure. of the fans, maybe. or maybe it was just something within themselves. who knows, but evie wasn’t using that one. “do i have to count the ones i walked out on?” she joked, throwing her chocolate locks from her shoulders. “let’s just say that i’ve been on a lot of dates that i’d wish to forget. i was dating at sixteen, even with a dating ban.” she nodded, shrugging her shoulders. “i got in trouble, but what could they do? drop me, and i’d be back up by someone else.” she snorted, recalling all the times she was threatened by her ceo and managers. “it’s simple--i made the time. love wasn’t something i wanted to miss out on, and i wasn’t going to let anyone take the option from me either.” she explained, swinging her feet back and forth as they dangled a few inches from the floor. “i’m as busy as it gets, but making the time was something i was going to do whether anyone liked it or not, including myself. that’s why i don’t take that!” she exclaimed, reaching to pull something from the younger girl’s hair. “that’s why i say, go for it. you find something you like--or love--and you for it. don’t let being ‘busy’ be an excuse. idol life takes most of you, but don’t let it take the love you deserve.” she pulled her hand back, rubbing her hands against her jeans. “and i don’t mind. you can ask me anything you want, whenever. it makes me think i’ve got my own talk show.” evelyn chuckled, running her fingers through her hair. 

Eve rolled her eyes at the girl's dramatics, throwing a hand down in her direction dismissively. "I damn sure will and watch it turn out great on the first try." Voice stern and laced with confidence as she tossed her strawberry locks from her shoulder. "Watch and take notes, baby girl."

Evie closed her eyes, bringing her hands up to rub at her face lightly. Things seemed more messed up than usual, and it kept getting worse. She just wanted to take a nap for the next twenty years with how this day was going. Letting out a breath of defeat, she laid her head on his shoulder. "Shoot me, okay? If you care for me even a little then you'll shoot me. Do it. I'm ready. "

"I'll drink to that!" She chimed in agreement as she brought her shot glass up to clank against the other girls. The singer flashed a gummy smile before downing the shot, licking her lips as she slammed the glass down. "Another round, please!"

Evelyn rolled her eyes as a heavy sigh escaped her lips. "You always do this. Why?" She stared at him, eyebrows furrowed and lips twisted into a grimace. "Don't you know what fun is? You really can't be this boring." She tucked brushed the stray pieces of strawberry hair from her face before crossing her arms across her chest. "Sometimes you need to let loose. Drink, dance, have sex--do something other than sitting in the house binge watching some dumbass show or reading books. You're young, have some fucking fun for once."

"Ah! I finally seem to have gotten through to you!" A triumphant grin stretching across her lips as she stared back at the girl. "Love is for the weak," she nodded firmly as she threaded her fingers through her hair. "I've been weak and in love before but never again. Tuh." She made an 'x' with her hands, shaking her head. "These people aren't gonna catch me slipping again!"
