“Pull over.”

Even on the island, the nightlife was as dead as one would assume on a Tuesday night. Xander had hidden himself away somewhere, so she had been forced to venture out on her own that evening.It was not necessarily early for some people, but it was an early night for her. The downtown was mostly silent as she rode along in silence with her Uber driver. Normal people with responsibilities didn’t go out partying on Tuesday nights. Eva had no responsibilities to anyone or anything except to herself. Her current lot in life was to drink until nothing mattered anymore, which exactly what she’d managed to do that night.

“Pull over!” Eva demanded again, pointing at the corner causing the Uber driver to veer to the right suddenly. Eva pushed open the door and stumbled out of the car.

“This isn’t your stop, miss.”

“I’ll give you five stars, bye!” Eva shouted, waving dismissively as she stumbled towards the darkened door of the comic book store. A small light still shone inside, illuminating a figure finishing closing the store.

i have so many thoughts about eva and ben rn. part of me sees them as kinda like being early jim and pam in the office? like when there was clearly an unspoken thing but no one COULD say anything because of reasons and such? but probably worse because if any of eva’s terrible “party” friends showed up and said “who’s that?” she’d be like “nobody” and leave and smh she’s an idiot.

but do you think they’ve known one another for awhile/been kinda friends? like i have this idea they every so often hang out and do something random and weird eva would never do with any of her other friends... but their hang outs are like completely separate from their own social circles? if that makes sense? i feel like one on one they’d just be like... cracking jokes and having a stupid amount of sarcasm and bad puns? like eva would never act that way with any of her other friends, honestly. but then once they’re done hanging out and she’s with her other friends its just kinda an “oh hi?” when she sees him? because she is the worse?

because if that’s the case, i kinda have this idea that every so often drunk!eva goes past the comic book store in her uber and sees ben there late and she makes the driver drop her off and yells bangs on the door until he agrees to go to some greasy all night diner and eat waffles with her while she sobers up.
