Chapter 15: Why??

A/N: No trigger warnings if there is any please tell me.

At 3 pm in Virginia: Will, Henry and Micheal were waiting at the car for Evvy to come out of school. As she walked out she turned to Gracie and said "Bye Gracie, I'll see you later." Gracie waved back as Evvy ran off to her uncle and cousins . She flung herself at her uncle and hugged him tight then she did the same to her cousins. They first went to her and her dads apartment. It was quicker in the car then walking and the subway. But it was still fifteen minutes away. 

Evelyn unlocked the door and opened it. Then she went straight to her room. She found her black backpack and got some pyjamas, clothes, wash stuff and packed those for the weekend. And then put some more stuff in a bag just in case her dad wasn't back home by the time the sleepover was over. She grabbed a blanket, teddy and some books. She grabbed her phone and phone charger. She got everything she needed. Then walked out of the apartment with her uncle carrying one bag and her carrying the other. She locked the door and they walked out of the building. They put her bag for her uncle's in the trunk and the bag for Gracie's in the passengers, seat foot well then she got in. 

Evvy directed him to her friends house. Once they got there, they all got out. They all walked up to the front door and Evvy knocked. A woman who Evvy presumed was Gracie's mother answered Evvy said "Hi, I am Evvy I'm Gracie's friend." The straight brown haired woman nodded then shouted "Gracie! Evvy's here!" Gracie ran down the stairs as fast as she could. Excited to see Evvy even though she saw her only a few hours ago. She hugged her Gracie said "I'm so glad you are here Evvy." Evvy responded "Me too. Oh, Gracie this is my Uncle Will and my cousins, Micheal and Henry." Gracie said "Hi." and waved. Evvy hugged her family and said her goodbyes. She followed Gracie through to her living room. Her house was big, Evvy had imaged living in a place this big. She knew loads of family's lived like this but she wasn't sure pow this was so normal for them.

After a while they went to Gracie's room and sang along to pitch perfect. They had pasta for dinner. Evvy was having the best time, they went to bed at three am. Because they forgot the time and had so much fun. On Saturday morning Evvy was up at 10 and they skipped breakfast, they went to the park before lunch. The park was pretty nice, they went with Gracie's mom. They had lunch at 1, they had fried chicken and fries. At one thirty Evvy got a video call. She answered "Hey dad." Spencer said "Hi Evvy. Are you having a good time?" Evvy said "Yes I am. Do you know when you will be back home?" Spencer said "No I'm sorry I'll be back as soon as possible." Evvy said "Dad will you be home for my birthday?" Spencer said "I am going to try I have took the day off but it depends Evvy." Evvy said "It's okay if you can't." Spencer said "No, it's not. I know I am never home but I am gonna try my best to be home for your birthday I promise." Evvy looked around. Then Spencer said "Evvy when I get home we will talk about it over Uncle Rossi's pasta recipe. Okay? Go have fun and be a normal kid for once. I will call you tomorrow. I love you bye." "Okay dad. I love you too bye." She hung up then walked back into the living room to rejoin Gracie's family. 

Gracie's mom said "Evelyn who was that?" Evvy replied "Oh it was my dad." Gracie's mom said "Oh okay, then why do you look upset." Evvy responded "We were just talking about when he's coming home." Gracie's mom looked at her with a questioning face "Is he away a lot?" Evvy was confused but answered honestly "Yeah he is it is his job." Gracie's mom said "What does he o that takes him away from you." Evvy said "I have been told not to tell anyone else since it is very important." Gracie's mom asked "He doesn't stay in the state?" Evvy said "Sometimes but most is in different states." Gracie's mom (Mrs Sanders) said "So who do you stay with when he is out of the state?" Evvy replied with "My uncle Will or Maddie or sometimes my Auntie Penelope." Mrs Sanders asked "What about your biological grandparents?" Evvy said "My nana is in a care home and as for my grandfather my dad doesn't speak to him. But my grandpa I don't see him often but he is not blood related." Mrs Sanders said "What about your mom?" Evvy said "My dad says she was ill." Mrs Sanders said "Any other relatives?" Evvy said "My other Aunts and Uncles work with my dad so." Mrs Sanders nodded. Evvy said "Why are you asking me all these questions?" Mrs Sanders was trying to make up an excuse "I just wanted to know more about you and your family." Evvy was sure she wasn't telling the truth but she said "Okay." Then Gracie and Evvy went up the stairs and put some films on and sat watching them for ages. 

They were called down for dinner at 6 pm. Gracie and Evvy sat on one side while Gracie's mom and dad sat on the other. They started eating a homemade casserole. Mrs Sanders spoke again "Evvy does your dad take care of you when he's home." Evvy said "Yes, why?" Mrs Sanders said "I am trying to prove a point to Gracie's dad I work then come home and clean and cook, while he comes home and does nothing." Evvy wasn't sure what to make of it, since of these strange questions. Before she went to bed she texted her uncle to pick her up at 11 am the next day. Evvy was up at eight and packed her bag and stayed in her pj's . Her and Gracie had cereal for breakfast. Then a knock at the door. Gracie opened it and it was Evvy's uncle Will. Evvy slipped on her black boots and jacket grabbed her bag hugged Gracie and left. Will drove her bag to his and JJ's house.
