*Sarah's pov*
From: Ethan
Meet me at the ice cream place along the beach! No questions
To: Ethan
Okkk
I throw on light-wash high wasted shorts and a simple white shirt with a hoodie over to cover all my scars. I start doing my makeup and start thinking what Ethan would do this time. I owe him a lot since I bitched out on him these past months....
I slip on my flip flops and head out the door. It was perfect outside, sunny and warm. I walked and I saw people from school looking at me weirdly. I couldn't care less, so I just kept walking until I arrived to the ice cream parlor.
I walk in and I don't see Ethan in there, so I just sit at a table and wait. This kid is always late to everything, I laugh to myself. Then, out of no where, I feel hands grab my shoulder.
"OH MY GOD!" I yelled, thinking a murderer just layed his hands on me. I turn around and see Ethan laughing his face off at me.
"Not even funny," I try to say with a straight face, but end up laughing with him anyways.
He took my hand and we went up to order our ice cream. Once we got it, we sat down and began eating away.
"You know you don't have to wear long sleeves anymore, your scars are gone." Ethan tells me. I feel my face flush with embarrassment as I remember cutting last night.
I roll up my sleeves and show him the fresh cuts. I watch his jaw drop and I roll my sleeves back down quickly.
"I'm sorry I screwed all this up. This is all my fault. None of this would have happened if it weren't for me being so stupid." Ethan starts as he goes on and on.
"Ethan, its not your fault. Its ok." I told him.
We awkwardly finished our ice cream and as I was about to get up and throw my stuff away, he called my name.
"Sarah.... What are we now?" He asks me.
"Well we are humans, silly Ethan. I'm a girl and your a boy!" I responded.
"I mean... Like what are we, like the two of us?" He says.
"I really don't know. I think we should just be friends now..." I respond and I see Ethan's face drop. It was obvious he was sad at that response, so I spoke up again.
"Its just that I've been through so much lately, don't take it personally. I just need a break right now. Thanks for taking me here, see you later I guess." I awkwardly said as I was about to leave.
I was walking out and I felt tears forming in my eyes. Was I really going to cry about this boy again? Then it hit me.
Ethan Grant Dolan isnt just "this boy". He's my world, and I'm just realizing how much I need him. I didn't want to just be friends. I wanted to be something more than that. I turned around and saw Ethan's eyes light up.
We ran towards each other and I felt his hands around my waist, as I place mine around his neck. We lean in close and I feel our lips connect.
"I want to be more than friends, Sarah." He said as he looked straight into my eyes.
Was I really ready for this? Without thinking, I spoke.
"I love you Ethan freaking Dolan." I said as I buried my head in his chest.
It was like a movie, we were together again, on the beach, the sun setting. He told me to hop onto his back, which I gladly did, and he took off towards the beach.
One day, I wanted to slap this guy, but now, I can't describe how he makes me feel. I lay against him, watching the sunset together on the shore.
"I know this is like really happening fast... But will you be my-" I cut him off before he finished.
Without thinking, I just spoke.
"Yes."
