Are you my partents?

"Just stop crying man. Come On."

Shane has been continuously comforting the boy who doesn't seem to stop his sobbing anytime soon. The room filled with his sobs and sniffs along with Shane's sign and groan. Shane keeps patting his friends back and caresses his forearms. 

"Evan... Are you going to accept your defeat and do nothing? Hm? I thought you would say 'I will come for you Evelyn' but I see you crying like a baby." Evan raises his head from his palms and glare at him. Shane just smiles, Evan then wipes out the tears those were staining his cheeks and sat straight with crossed leg eyeing Shane. Evan clears his throat as he felt his throat dry enough to form any words. 

"Uh... No. Just she said she is not Evelyn. I know she is." He says sniffing, Shane frowns eyeing Evan curiously. "But how are you so sure it's her? Like there may be some people with a similar face in this world. She may not be our Evelyn. If she was she must remember you... at least." He ends his statement with a shrug but Evan looks down on his feet shaking his head no. 

"I know for sure ... it's her." 

"How? Are you confident about that? What makes you so sure? Hm?" Shane throws few questions once he hears Evan confidiently saying that the girl who denied to know was her, the same girl they had been looking for. "You remember the moment when she was hanging on the bridge with me holding her?" He questions looking up to meet Shane's gaze.

"Yes..?" He replies curious as well as confused as to why he was bringing up the past. 

"That time when she confessed, I was so much flustered that I couldn't meet her eyes. And I looked anywhere but her eyes." He stops reminiscing the moment smiling after ward. "Okay..? But why are you bringing up that? I don't get it. " He questions confused as well as puzzled over his words. " My eyes found her necklace which were carved with her name. It was then I guessed it might be her name." 

"And?" 

"And I mean to say that... the same necklace, I saw today on her neck. with her name carved with same design and colour." He replies back calmly but the other one was far from that word. "WHAT?!" He yells making Evan giggle at his state. Evan nods his head. "But if true that she is Evelyn Raids.. then why did she deny to know us? As the event was like a nightmare even for me.. she must have had trouble forgetting it. Then how come she easily said she doesn't know? " 

"Yea, I feel the same. I don't get anything." Evan says with a long sign and falls flat on the couch groaning and shifting around making Shane fall on the floor. "Ah! You! I swear After everything goes back to normal.. I am gonna take my revenge on you." Evan raises his head once he heard Shane but instead he nods his head laughing. 

"But Evan.. You like her right? Come on spill out. It's no use lying to me." Evan turs beet red under Shane gaze and his words. He surely like her but he is not sure if it was more than that. Ever since he heard her confess and then disappeared like she never existed, it had effected him a lot. He surely keeping remembering her and her words tho they seemed like her final words then. 

He wanted to see her again once he woke up in the hospital. He even had wanted to return back to his hometown with the hope of seeing her. Unknowlyingly He had fallen for her, but he denied it everytime as he cornered his feelings aside, defining that feeling as a gratitude because she saved him. He felt as if he owns her but the truth was he was falling for her the more he thought about her.

"No..It's not like that." 

Shane burst out laughing hysterically seeing his friend being shy and flustered. Evan blushed even more due to the embarrassment he felt under Shane's mocking gaze. "I don't think so. I am sure you like her or... do you love her? Hm?" That was it.... Now Evan, he himself didn't know the answer. He froze once the question left Shane's mouth. "N-No.." He stutter making Shane laugh as Evan hangs his head low being flustered. 

"You don't need to be embarrassed over this. I knew you loved her... well.. I could see." Shane says nudging Evan's shoulder with his. "H-How.." 

"My Evelyn... remember you saying that? And crying over her just few minutes before. It shows how love sick you had got. You cried like you just got rejected." Shane says now with his serious gaze. Evan clears his throat and speaks "Do you really think so? That...I love her?" Shane nods his head with a deep sign. "Yes you do. If you didn't you wouldn't have been waiting for her to show up. You would have moved on but you didn't. I just wish to find her soon and to see you happy like before. I want my old Evan back." 

Evan smile ear to ear upon hearing his friend; Evan jumps on his friend hugging him tight and being grateful. That moment he really felt grateful having Shane by his side. "Okay then... I will find her soon and be happy. And you find someone for you so that you can be happy as well. We will be happy together forever." He says, they both laugh sharing their brother time. They pull back and smile genuinely as they both were grateful to have each other. Also that they both love each other.

"What happened Leon?" Mr jones questions as they witness Evelyn running to her room as soon as she enter the door, without even looking at them. Leon just look at the direction his sister ran and then to his dad. He just stared at them with gloomy eyes. His mom rush towards the room and started banging on the door calling out her name.

"Leon... I am asking you something? What happened?!" He ask with his stern but loud voice showing dominance over the younger so that he could intimidate him to spill out the words he wanted to know. As Mr. Jones already knew about the two boys following around his daughter, he was already anxious and he had lots of imaginations and assumptions of what could have happened.

As silence spread upon the tensed atmosphere, his brain were forming worst scenario but still he denied all because he was not ready. He was not ready to lose the girl whom he loved and cherished as his daughter for past three years. He didn't want to give up on her as he had imagined how she would grow up into a beautiful and mature women with a successful and happy life. How hee wanted to marry her off to a beautiful family who would love her as their own daughter. He had lots of dreams and wishes to fulfill for his daughter.

He could still hear his wife banging on the door calling out for Evelyn and it made his condition worst. He was scared to know anything related to her past. He still managed to say "Leon! I asked something!" Leon flinch once he heard his dad yelling, he looks up meeting his father's troubled and worried gaze. He gulps looking away, he then signs looking back at his dad.

"Dad.... I don't know what... no.. how to say this..."

Mr. Jones grew more anxious as he anticipated Leon's further words. He signs and grabs Leon's shoulder bringing him close which made Leon tense under his father's gaze. "Just say it already... what is it.. that is so hard to tell.. hmm?" He then could feel Leon's eye glossy which made him worried. As Leon was about to open his mouth.... the door opened.

There stood Evelyn with red teary eyes. Her mother engulfed Evelyn in her embrace. Mr. Jones ran to his daughter and Leon follows behind. Once Mrs. Jones pulls back she caresses her face and leaving soft kisses all over her face. Mr.Jones then raised his hand and caressed her head, patting frequently.

But the words that came out of her mouth froze them. Their worst nightmare, came into existence.

"You both are... not my real parents, are you?"
