"This is how I love you. I am peeling back my skin, layer by layer, so you will finally know everything inside me."-
'Strange Gods,' Roxane Gay
It's been a few weeks since me and Ethan have officially been together.
Today is the first day of November, just a couple of more weeks and we'll be in my town together.
Me and Ethan are at the house watching a scary movie.
My legs are across on his lap, my head on a pillow.
Lately I've been obsessed with scary movies, especially the Scream movies. I'm not exactly sure why.
Me and Ethan have been watching them together.
He's not a big fan of scary movies but he still watches them with me, he knows that even though I like them I still get scared.
He squeezes my thigh in a comforting way every time I get scared.
For the longest time I felt like I never belonged anywhere in this world.
But in this moment i now know why I felt that way.
I felt that way because I wasn't with Ethan, and I belonged here in this moment with him.
I wrap my hand around his, he looks down at me with so much love and adoration.
I think I finally found the Prince Charming I had always been looking for.
The one who would save me from the evil step mother and her evil twin daughters.
He came but without his white horse.
I didn't need to be saved from the evil step mother, all along I needed to be saved from myself.
"What are you thinking about?" Ethan asked me.
I smile, "you" i said.
He gives me a smile.
"I'm always thinking of you, you changed my life completely" he says.
I blush at him, he's good with his words.
Ethan has also been spending most nights here, my aunt Jules being okay with it after I told her what his dad does to him.
She told him he's always welcomed here with us.
Today is one of those days he's staying with us and i couldn't be more happier.
"I'm so glad you're spending the night tonight" i said to him.
He smiles at me, "me too, i love being with you" he says.
We go back to watching the movie.
I'm wearing his hoodie and everything feels perfect.
No one has noticed or catch on to the fact I relapsed.
My stomach has scars on them but I hide it with my shirts making sure not to wear crop tops.
I've also just been wearing Ethan's hoodies, it's been colder more than usual.
A scary part comes on and I jump, Ethan laughs at me pretending that I didn't feel him jump either.
"Ha. Ha. Ha" i say mockingly to him laughing at me.
He kisses my head.
Eventually I fall asleep, i fall asleep with a smile on my face knowing I'm safe with Ethan by my side.

Ethan's pov:
I stare at her as she sleeps, not in a creepy way.
