CarlyI slam a suitcase on the bed knowing Ethan is by the door watching me with his arms crossed waiting for me impatiently to gather my shit so we can get out of here.
I grab my clothes and throw them into the suitcase. I've decided to take what I need. I know that I'm coming back so I don't need to grab everything . He thinks I will come around and I will fall in love with him. What a crock of shit. I already told him I wasn't ready to leap into another relationship and with him of all people especially after he ruined the one I had with Jonathan and Kyler maybe I should've just come clean and we could've gone from there, but no, I had to do the exact opposite that landed me exactly where I didn't want to be. He's delusional if he thinks we can have any type of relationship.
"Are you done yet?"
I snap out of my thoughts, zipping up the suitcase. "I'm done." I say lifting it off the bed and rolling it towards the door. I've left a lot of clothes here, ones I won't ever tell him about. As I get to the door he grabs my wrist and looks into my eyes. "Are you sure that's all of your stuff baby?"
"I'm sure."
He smiles, letting go of my wrist taking my suitcase. "I can do that, you know I'm not an invalid."
"I know, baby. I want to."
I sigh. There's no use in arguing cause I've come to realise you'll never win what he wants he gets and this is a perfect example of him getting exactly what he wants.
He laces his fingers with mine and squeezed it before he pulls us out of the room.
We head down the hallway into the lounge where both Star and Caspian are.
Ethan
I know she's hiding something. I know this one case isn't all of her clothes. She is in a different suit every other day. As she hugs Star and whispers into her ear I lean toward Caspian letting him know I'll come back for the surest of Carly's stuff once she's settled in. We bid them goodbye and headed to my car. "Get in baby while I put this in boot."
She nods and gets in, slamming the door. I put her suitcase into the boot and slammed the boot shut and headed to the driver's side. I get in and slam the door.
"Why Ethan?"
I turn and look at Carly. I place my hand on her face. "Cause you're mine."
"I'm no one's, you could've chosen anyone Ethan instead of me."
"I don't want anyone else Carly, I want you."
"Bu.."
"You were very naughty to sneak off from me baby, you need to realise that you are mine and I will do anything and I mean anything to keep it that way."
"I told you I didn't want this Ethan, none of it."
"Too late baby. You're mine and I'm going to prove to you that we should be together.
I leaned forward kissing her softly before I took my hand off her face and faced forward. I put the car into gear and pulled away heading home, our home.
Star
It had been around a week since Ethan took Carly away. I knew she wasn't happy about it but if she had stood her ground he would've kept coming around to bug her and make sure she left with him. She didn't want to cause a scene or have the police called. That's why she left that day. I remember the words she said to me that day. "I'm sorry star, I have to do this. If not for me, for you and Cas. He'll forever come around and make all of our lives hell if I don't."
I nodded understanding why she was doing it. I missed her. I know she would eventually move out but for him, never. In a million years.
I walked into the house, closing the door. It felt cold today. Something was off. Something didn't feel quite right. I headed to the spear room where Carly had slept the time she was here. Her clothes were still in the wardrobe, the ones she left behind. The ones that meant she was coming back. It felt colder in here like a blizzard had come through and never left.
I stepped onto the room shivering and headed over to the wardrobe and opened them. I gasped at the empty wardrobe where all of her clothes were this morning. I had often come in here to make sure that they were still there. I had held a lot of hope she would come home and leave that sleeve bag. But I guess I got it wrong. I guess she had too.
I felt a pair of arms wrapping around me a kiss on the cheek and I knew instantly it was caspian. "Hey angel, why are you here?"
Instead of answering him I asked, "Where are Carly's clothes?"
"Ethan came appround earlier and took them. He said he and Carly were getting on like a house on fire so he'd come to kick up the rest of her clothes."
I scoffed. "That's utter bull shit Cas you and I both know it. He's poisoned her into believing all the bullshit that he spews. He doesn't love her, he's obsessed with her. Once he's done with his obsession he'll throw her away like she doesn't mean shit.
"We don't know that, Angel."
"Even if you don't, I do."
"Please angel let them sort out their relationship themselves. Don't interfere, they're happy."
"I doubt that very much, he's poisoned her Cas, why can't you see that?"
"Let it run angel you need to trust me on this if Carly isn't happy she'll leave."
"I hope you're right."
"I am now let's go a little more private and you know." He said, kissing my neck.
"Are you trying to derail me Mr. Hollingway?"
"Is it working Mrs. Hollingway?"
"Maybe."
"Good." He said, kissing my neck pulling me out of the room. Sneaky fucker.
Ethan
It hadn't been easy to get Carly's shit back here to the apartment. But I had managed to convince Caspian where she belonged. With me.
I had to bullshit my way through it, though Carly was still unhappy she was living here. I had tried my damned hardest to make her sense. But, unfortunately for me, she was as stubborn as they come. She would come around eventually. One day she will be mine completely. I hear her scream from the room we share and I smirk. I walk casually into our bedroom grinning. "What's the matter baby?"
She turns, the anger is evident on her beautiful face. "Don't baby me! And wipe that grin off your face before I do!"
I love her when she's like this. Her angry face makes me love her even more and want to do dirty, really dirty things to her. "What's wrong baby, your scream will wake up the neighbours." that's if they're in.
"What the hell Ethan? I already told you I was going back to Star's and you went behind my back and brought my clothes back here! Why?
I strode across the room and stood in front of her. I place my hands on her face. "I think you already know the answer to that baby. You're here, you're mine and no one and I mean no one is ever going to take you away from me. EVER!"
"You can't do this to me Ethan."
"I believe I already have."
She goes to protests and I smash my lips on hers kissing her hard until I get a response and once I do I kiss her hungrily. No one is ever going to take her away from me.
