“You’re wasting your time.” Eve said loud enough for him to be able to hear her. Alec eyed her for a moment as they fell into silence. He could easily see that the young woman near him did not think much of herself. It saddened him as he thought about it. Before he was able to say anything, Eve spot again. “Danny’s not wrong. Nobody cares about, that’s the honest truth. You think you care…but I’m only playing you. You deserve so much better then Hanna or me or even Nick.” As their eyes held each other, Alec could see the truth in her eyes. It threw him off. It was a look that he wasn't used to seeing from her. His eyes softened as he watched her.
“Your great guy Alec and I’m bad for you.” She ran her fingers through her hair and then looked away from him.
“You were great tonight, don’t let Hanna ruin that for you.” And then suddenly, she was walking back towards the road. For a short moment, Alec didn't know what to do. He could either let her go..or follow her. She'd seemed..different than before and he just couldn't place it. It was almost like she was a different person in those few moments. He couldn't understand it. What had made her act like that.
Acting quickly, Alec got into his car and slowly followed Eve. She'd not gotten very far by the time he got close to her. He slowed his car down, putting down the window so that he could talk to her. He slowed his car down to almost a crawl, moving slowly with her as she walked. "Are you seriously planning on walking the entire way back to your house?" he asked, a kind smile on his face. His eyes watched her closely, trying to stay near her. "Why don't you get in and I'll take you? If you don't I'm just going to follow you. It would be alot easier if you just got in."
He finally stopped the car, unlocking the doors. He watched Eve..waiting for her to make her decision. Once she'd decided, he started moving the car once again. He was silent for a short time before he looked to her once again. "Look, I know that it sounds crazy to think that someone could possibly care about you..but I do. It doesn't matter if you feel the same about me. I'm not going anywhere, regardless. Maybe, if you didn't try to keep people at arms' length you'd find that not everyone is the same. It only takes that one person to make all of the past heartaches worth it. It's what prepares us for that one person that will understand us completely."
Alec drove slowly. He didn't expect Eve to speak to him,especially after what he'd said to her. He realized that they'd not known each other for very long but there was just something about her. He didn't want to see her upset or hurt. He wanted to make her smile..even if it was only for a few short moments. He looked at her, trying to convey how much he did care for her. "You still wanting to head home?" he asked, turning his gaze back to the road. He couldn't imagine feeling like there was no one in the world that truly cared for him. He just didn't get it. No matter what Eve said, he wouldn't give up. He was determined to show her that he did care for her..whether she liked it or not.
