"For the longest time,
I saw myself as a bad person.
You don't know how much it meant to me when you looked at me and could see the good."
I wake up a little before my alarm was supposed to go off.
Before it goes off I turn it off, I get up and get changed into my cheerleading outfit.
Today we're having a game, today is also Friday.
Which means it's finally the weekend.
Once I'm done with everything, I head to the kitchen where I smell pancakes.
I head into the kitchen to find aunt Jules making the pancakes and Ethan sitting.
"Good-morning" i said out loud, Ethan turns to me and gives me a smile groaning in pain afterwards.
"Good morning hun" Aunt Jules says.
I go to sit next to Ethan.
"How do you feel?" I ask him.
He shrugs his shoulders, "eh, i could be better" he says smiling.
"Are you sure you want to go to school?" I ask him
He nods, "I have to see my favorite cheerleader perform" he says.
I blush at him making him smile.
"Okay but you can always come here early if you need to" i said to him.
"I'll be fine, don't worry about me" he says as Aunt Jules sits a plate in front of him and another one in front of me.
"I can drive us to school" Ethan says as we finish eating.
"Are you sure?" I ask him.
He nods, "yes of course I'm sure" he says.
He stands up, "thank you Ms Jules for the lovely breakfast" he says.
Aunt Jules gives me a look, "your so very welcome Ethan" she says.
She mouths 'he's a keeper' at me as he turns around making me blush.
Ethan and i head out.
"Wait but what about your school stuff?" I ask him.
"I have my backup in the back" he says.
My heart sinks knowing this isn't the first time.
Maybe we could run away together.
"Hey! Don't make that sad face" he says poking my cheek.
"I hate the thought of someone hurting you especially your own parent" i said to him.
He sighs, "I know but I can't do anything about it, i just let him do whatever he wants" he said.
I remember when I felt that hopeless feeling, not being able to do anything about it.
"You can spend the night with us anytime you want" i said turning to him.
He looks at me for a second than back to the road, "thank you Stells" he says smiling.
I grab the hand he has on his lap, as he likes to drive with one hand.
I hold his hand.
I bring his knuckles to my lips and softly press a kiss to them.
He smiles, i smile. We're both happy in this moment.
We pull up to the parking lot, he parks where I usually park at.
Rosy waiting for us at her new spot next to me.
