Leaning against the wall, Eve only half-noticed as the patients in Doctor Gardners office filed past in a neat little row if inconsolable wrecks.<br/>Miku and Steven seemed to be getting along nicely, what with the way they'd sauntered out of the room dead-last, holding hands like sweethearts. Eve rolled her eyes at the sight and crossed her arms a little tighter over her chest.<br/>She wondered what was the point in relationships anyway? Everyone would always leave you in the end, or let you down enough that you'll wish they had.<br/>She was of the opinion that it was better not to waste your time offering your heart to someone who'd only crush it beneath their heel when they were done.<br/><br/>Her gaze followed them down the hall towards the receptionists desk where Miku made her phone call. It didn't take a genius to see that her mother wasn't available as Miku had initially thought she would be. Well, that made two of them. Ever the dutiful hero, good ol' Steven jumped to the rescue.<br/>As the lovestruck couple exited the building, Eve was certain that it would be the last she'd see of them that evening. That is, until loud, boisterous comments filtered through the thin walls, catching Eve's attention and holding it.<br/><em>"Do I look like a cabby to you? Get you ass in the car--"</em>Eve groaned. That sounded familiar. She wondered for a moment if Steven's father was best buddies with her own. It would certainly make sense. Assholes did tend to loiter around like-minded monsters.<br/><br/>Eve stood just as Miku filed back into the building, alone this time. The sound of a tires screeching out of the drive was the only hint that prince charming had fled off to another castle.<br/>"Hey." Eve called out, figuring that at the very least, the two girls might be able to pool their funds for a cab ride, or keep each other company on the bus.<br/>"Listen..." She trailed off awkwardly for a moment, not really knowing where to begin. After a long sigh, she shook her head and started up once more,<br/>"So, I know I was a bitch earlier, and truth be told, I'm kind of a bitch all the time, so don't get too comfy. But... I know that I really shouldn't take it out on people who are just trying to get by in this piece of shit world like me. So, maybe, in my own fucked up away, I'm trying to tell you I'm sorry." Eve shoved her hands deep into the pockets of her jacket and avoided Miku's gaze, somewhat. She was never very good at heartfelt apologies. Though, to be fair, she'd never had anyone ever tell her they were sorry and actually mean it, so it's not as if she could learn by example.<br/><br/>"Anyway, what I wanted to say was uh... It looks like our rides both bailed. Do you want to take the bus with me? Safety in numbers and all that junk. I've got a couple bucks if you can't afford the fare." She shrugged dismissively, as if it didn't matter to her either way what Miku decided to do, but deep down she was hoping the girl might accept her invitation.
