All I Ask Is... Why?

A month goes by since I last saw Evelyn in person, but since then we have been keeping in touch with each other almost every day. We mostly text each other because it seemed like since she and Michelle met, Michelle decided to stay on tour with me and the guys longer than the other girls did. Valary, River, Lacey and Kimberly went back to California two weeks after they all met Evelyn. Valary didn’t take a liking to Evelyn and even told Michelle to watch out with me because I couldn’t be trusted alone. I couldn’t even sleep in my own hotel room without Michelle jumping down my throat. In her mind, she believes that there are more women around that she doesn’t know about, but truth be told, Evelyn was the only girl that I cheated on Michelle with and I had a few pretty good reasons as to why. One, she helped me take my mind off of the bullshit Michelle keeps trying to put in my life. Two, she helped me not think about and miss Jimmy so much. Three, I came to accept that I’m not in love with Michelle anymore. And four, she just seems to get me. She and I have similar taste in music, movies, and hobbies. She has a weird sense of humor, such as myself. All the things she enjoys are things I enjoy and Michelle tries to ignore. When I do have freedom from Michelle, I either get the opportunity to talk to her on the phone, or Skype, which Zacky taught me how to do.

Things between Mercedes and Zacky grew serious very quickly, quicker than they did with me and Evelyn. And since his divorce from Gena, I’ve never seen Zacky so happy, actually more like he was crazy about her. They talk every day when both are given the free time from work. Zacky was the only one of the entire group that knew about the relationship situation I was in the process of working out with Evelyn, and my plans of filing for divorce with Michelle after Christmas. He was all for it since the beginning and helped me with chatting with Evelyn along the way.

On Thanksgiving Day, we made it back to Huntington Beach to spend this holiday with our families and friends. Michelle decided to go without me to her mom and dad’s house and I was going to go to my dad and stepmother’s house for the daylight hours. Zacky did text me to meet him at his house around eight-thirty, apparently it was some sort of surprise party but I didn’t know for who. All day, the only thing I thought about was how much I really wanted to spend today with Evelyn. I know it’s crazy, but I am really falling for this girl, and I know I am falling pretty deep. I called her twice today when I got home to rest for a little while and feed Pinkly before heading to Zacky’s house, but she never answered her phone. I was hoping that she was okay and that her asshole fiancé didn’t get the best of her. I just wish there was something I could do.

I took a nap to the thought of Evelyn and her beautiful features and personality, a smile formed on my face as I drifted into a deep sleep. I woke up to the sound of my cellphone ringing, it was Zacky calling.

“Yeah?” I asked half tired.

“Where the fuck are you bro? You were supposed to be here twenty minutes ago.”

I looked at the time to see that it was ten minutes until nine. I quickly shot up. “Oh shit, I’m sorry dude I fell asleep.”

“That excuse is getting as old as you.”

“We’re pretty much the same age, fucker.”

Zacky laughed. “True story. Well just hurry up and get here, the guests are getting restless.”

“Who the hell is all there?”

“Bro, stop asking questions and just get here!”

Zacky hung up on me and he knows how much I hate that shit. I start straightening myself out for the rest of the night and I leave Pinkly outside with her food and fresh water just so she doesn’t shit inside the house while Michelle and I are gone. I highly doubt that Michelle is coming home tonight, and I really don’t care anymore. She has called me pissed off a few times while she was at home and I was on tour to tell me that Pinkly has made a habit of shitting and pissing all over Michelle’s shoes and clothes on the floor and it drives Michelle up the wall, but that only makes me love Pinkly even more. After checking myself in the mirror one last time, I made my way to mister Vengeance’s house.

So much for a fucking party, it looks dead as hell when I pulled into Zacky’s driveway. Either I’m running so late that everyone left already –which I was hoping for-, or I’m the first one here. Either way, I really wasn’t looking forward to tonight. I walked inside of the Vengeance manor like normal since Zacky sometimes has no problem with just barging into my house without knocking first. “Zacky! I’m here!” I call out.

“Oh hey dude! Come outside so the party can get started!” He called back from the backyard patio.

This type of party wasn’t the kind of party that Zacky would usually throw. Usually the place is so packed that you couldn’t even squeeze a toothpick through the crowds. This party was deader than death itself, made me wonder what exactly he was up to. I made my way outside and I would see Zacky sitting alone on a lounge chair around the lit up fire pit, just drinking a beer like normal. “What kind of party is this?” I asked confused.

Zacky looked up at me and smiled before facing the giant open space that is his backyard. “You’ll see.” He takes one more drink. “Okay, now!” He calls out to the open area. So far, nothing, until two females appear from behind a few bushes in the back. As they come closer, I realize who they are, Mercedes and Evelyn.

A huge smile appeared on my face as Evelyn ran up to me and leaped into my arms. I twirled her around and embraced her as tight as she did with me. She let go of me for a minute so I could greet Mercedes with a hug. Mercedes knows all about the situation as well between me and her younger sister, and she only agrees to it as long as I make Evelyn happy, and I haven’t failed yet. We all sat outside together, Mercedes sat on Zacky’s lap and Evelyn sat on mine. “How did you girls make it here?” I asked.

“Zack bought us plane tickets and he picked us up from the airport a few hours ago. We thought it would be a nice surprise.” Evelyn answered.

“Well, thank you man. This surprise made my entire Thanksgiving Holiday.” I said looking at Zacky.

He nodded with a small smile. “No problem. I knew you would want to see Evelyn as much as I wanted to see Mercedes. So it was only fair to invite them both.” Zacky winked at Evelyn and we all laughed a little.

“So, are you sure it’s okay that we stay here? We can always find a hotel to stay in until you guys get ready to go back on tour.” Mercedes spoke.

“No, it’s perfectly fine. I don’t mind you two staying over until we get back on the road. At least while you’re here, we can take the time into looking for a house for you and Evelyn in town.” He said.

We all talked about the idea of the girls moving back to Huntington Beach and everything was settled. They decided to move back a week before Christmas and Mercedes would work on transferring colleges in the meantime. A little before midnight, Mercedes and Zacky headed for bed, leaving me and Evelyn all alone.


“Have I kissed you yet?” I asked her.

“Maybe, but I might have missed it.” She giggled before leaning in close to me until our lips collided in the first passionate kiss we’ve had in a month.

She tasted so sweet, and her skin felt so soft. I wanted her and it was starting to show. As soon as she felt the bulge in my pants grow bigger, she bit her bottom lip and looked towards Zacky’s hot tub, looking back at me with a small smile. “I’ve never had sex in a hot tub before.”

“I think I can fix that.” I said seductively as we sat up and stripped our way to the hot tub.




We stayed in the hot tub until it got too hot for us to continue, so in the middle of things, we grabbed our belongings and continued in the guest room upstairs a few rooms away from Zacky and Mercedes, who were fucking each other like animals from what we heard. It was going to be a long night, but seeing Evelyn again made it all worth the wait.




The next morning, I woke up a little earlier than Evelyn did. She looked so beautiful and peaceful that I didn’t want to wake her. I gently traced the features of her face with my fingers, as well as the purple butterfly she had on the right side of her back. When I sat up enough to flow soft kisses from her tattoo to her lips, I could feel her kiss me back. She then opened her eyes and smiled at me. “Good morning handsome.”

“Good morning to you, beautiful lady.” I responded.

She giggled a little as we went back to kissing each other. We slowly moved to where I was on top of her and she was softly rubbing her thighs against my waist before wrapping her legs around me. My morning wood was appearing and I couldn’t control myself anymore. I slowly slid myself inside her and she moaned in the kiss. Thrusting in an out, she moaned and arched her back, pressing her body against mine with each thrust. “Oh baby, please don’t stop.” She whispered.

I kept my pace but continued to thrust a little harder each time she moaned my name. At one point, she grabbed a pillow and covered her face with it to sound proof the scream. One deeper thrust after that, and we both came and moaned in pleasure. After I pulled out of her, I laid down beside her and she rested her head on my chest. “You really know how to make a girl feel good.” She said with a giggle.

“Baby, you’re the only girl I want to make feel good.” I smiled at her.

“Good. Because you’re the only man I want, in more ways than just sex.” She sighed as she looked up at me and smiled. “Brian, never in a million years would I even guess that this would happen to me. I’ve always had a big crush on you since the day my sister introduced me to your band. And to have you here lying next to me after making love to me more than once, it just doesn’t feel real.”

I scooted around to meet eye level with her. “It is real, and never did I think I would meet someone as beautiful, smart, funny, and amazing as you. And I want to let you know, that Michelle and I are filing for divorce after Christmas.”

Her eyes grew wide. “Really?”

I nodded. “Yes. She doesn’t know yet, but I will tell her really soon. Evelyn, I will be honest, I am falling for you. Everything about you is so precious to me, and I don’t ever want to lose you. So I am going to ask you ahead of time…” I had been waiting for this moment, and I even took the time to get a custom silver band promise ring that was covered in diamonds all around. Inside the ring was engraved To my Little Piece of Heaven, Evelyn Mendes. Love, Brian. I was hoping that I had got the right size and that she was going to like it. I pulled the box out from my jacket pocket right next to the bed. I never leave the house without it for fear that Michelle will see it. I turned around and showed her the box and a big smiled appeared on her face. “Evelyn, I promise to remain faithful to you and only you. And I ask you, when the divorce is final, will you be mine?” I asked as I opened the box to reveal the ring. She gasped and continued to stare back and forth to the ring and then to me. After a moment of shock, she nodded quickly. “Are you speechless?” I asked and she nodded again. I took the ring out of the small black box and slid in on her ring finger, it was a perfect fit thank God. She immediately pulled me to her for a kiss or two, until we heard a knock. “Yeah?” I called out.

“Hey dude, you better get out here quick. Michelle is taking it upon herself to remodel your car.” Zacky said from the other side.

With that, Evelyn and I sprung out of bed and started getting dressed as quickly as we could. “Stay inside.” I told her. She nodded and stayed with Mercedes upstairs in Zacky’s room. As I ran down the stairs, I heard the sounds of screaming and pounding from outside. Michelle was damaging my car with an aluminum bat. She already broke every single window and took out the side mirrors. She scratched up both the inside and outside of the car, and now she was hitting the hood over and over again. “Michelle! What the fuck are you doing?!” I yell as I ran closer to her to try to get the bat away, only for her to swing it at me and hit me in the ribs.

I fell to the floor and she kept swinging at my legs and screaming nonsense until Zacky, Mercedes and Evelyn came outside. Zacky grabbed Michelle by the arms and waist tight enough for Mercedes to take the bat away from her. Evelyn ran to me and held me in her lap as she dialed 911. Through all the coughing and the screaming going on, I felt myself passing out even though Evelyn was doing her best to keep me awake.




I woke up to the sound of my heart monitor going off. Everything was blurry for a second until my eyes were fully open. I was in the hospital, it was quiet, until I felt a soft hand lace with mine. “Hey baby.” She said in a soft voice. I moved to see that Evelyn was sitting next to me.

“What happened?”

“You suffered two broken ribs and a lot of bumps and bruises on your legs. You’ve been asleep since then.” She explained to me.

“How long?”

“About two days. The cops arrested Michelle after you were taken to the emergency room, but Valary bailed her out the next day after she sobered up and realized what she had done.”


The thought of what Michelle did to me and what she has done to me since the day we got married made me not want to wait any longer. This was becoming worse by the minute and I can tolerate her hurting me, but the last thing I want is for her to even touch Evelyn. The rest of the day, everyone came to see me including Valary. I knew that now I needed to tell her and everyone else that didn’t know of Michelle’s dark side. And this time it wasn’t so hard because I had a lot of people backing me up on this. Valary and Matt were so confused as to why Michelle would do this, and eventually it settled in to both of them that Michelle isn’t all she makes herself out to be. Only this time, I was living proof.



The next morning, I was released from the hospital and Evelyn was able to get me around everywhere thanks to Zacky letting her use one of his cars. The first place we went to was the courthouse so I could file for divorce. I was asked if I wanted to press any assault charges on Michelle, but I refused. After spending a couple of hours to get the papers together, Evelyn took me to my house. She walked in with me because she didn’t want Michelle doing anything stupid to me. And we knew she was there because her car was parked on the front lawn. We went inside and I told Evelyn to check on Pinkly while I went to look for Michelle. I found her in my bedroom eating breakfast in my bed, and she looked up at me with a small smile. “Hey Brian.” She said casually, acting as if nothing happened.

“The tour is on hold because of your little stunt a few days ago.” I said coldly.

She looked up at me confused. “Me? What did I do?”

“Don’t act stupid Michelle, you know damn well what you did. You’re lucky I didn’t press assault charges on your ass! I’m done with you. I thought if we worked on this marriage before that things would be okay, but you don’t seem to want to change. And-“

Before I could say anything further, a tall and slightly pale Asian boy walks out of the bathroom. “What’s going on?” He asked as he looked at both me and Michelle.

She looked at me with an evil smirk. “Oh nothing baby. Just a little confrontation going on.” She responded to him without looking at him. I felt the anger build up inside of me. “You’re not the only one interested in young blood, Brian.”

Evelyn came upstairs and stood next to me until she looked at the additional face in the room. “Ryan?!” She exclaimed.

“Hey Evie.” He responded to her with a small smirk and wave.

“Do you know him?” I asked her.

She nodded. “Yes, he was my fiancé from back home!”

“He sure was. I gave him a little call after doing some homework on your little home wrecker.” Michelle said to me, her eyes shot straight at Evelyn when she said the words home wrecker.

“It’s not considered home wrecking if the abusive drunk of a wife already damaged the marriage!” She shot back.

Anger took over Michelle and she leaped out of bed and made a dash straight for Evelyn. They stood toe to toe with each other and Michelle was pushing Evelyn’s buttons all at once. Michelle then slapped Evelyn and that’s when Evelyn snapped. She pushed Michelle and before long the two were fighting. Evelyn had Michelle pinned to the ground, one had grasped tightly at her hair and the other was balled into a tight fist as she punched Michelle over and over again. I wanted to stop it, but not until I felt Michelle got what she deserved. Ryan was already darting for them and shoved Evelyn off of Michelle. That was enough for me to jump in and knock Ryan out with one solid punch to the face. Michelle went to the aid of Ryan, her hair a mess, lip split open and her eye was starting to turn black. I took a look at Evelyn and she had no more than a black eye and a scratch on her neck. I threw the golden envelope in front of Michelle. “I want you and your boy toy out of my house by the end of today. I want a divorce.” I said before walking out of the room.

Evelyn broke off the necklace she was wearing that had her engagement ring on it and threw it at Ryan’s body. She then joined me downstairs in the living room and rested with me on the couch. I kissed her eye and the scratch on her neck. She kissed my knuckles and we stayed there for a few hours until Michelle came downstairs with Ryan and her luggage. She threw the envelope at me. “I hope you two are fucking happy!” She exclaimed before they walked out of the house completely.
