It's your fault

Chapter thirty-five: Apologies

~~~~~

"Do you want to go back to your room and wait with Ethan or do you want to stay with Cam- Cameron?"

He pauses when he starts to say Cameron's name, why?

I was with Cameron a lot today and I haven't seen my Ethan in a while. I know he's worried to death. Maybe I should be with my baby Ethan.

Wait a second! Ethan was being an asshole. Maybe he cooled down a little and will not act like such an ass.

"I'll just wait with Ethan."

"Are you sure? He was out of it earlier." He frowns his face. "Yeah, he should be fine now." Demetrius looks at me, unsure. "If you say so." He huffs out.

~~~~~

"You sure you wanna go in there with him?" He whispers. "Yes Demetrius he's my boyfriend he can be dumb but he won't do anything that dumb." I kinda whisper back. He looks at me with uncertainty but opens the door to my room.

I walk in and see Ethan sitting on the bed with his head hanging down in his hands. "I'll be back later." Says Demetrius from behind. "Okay." I say low not wanting Ethan to throw a fit again just for me speaking to Demetrius.

After I speak my word to Demetrius Ethan lifts his head than immediately stands and comes over to me.

Here we go with the apology.

He has his arms open but low, basically asking for permission to touch me. Loving him I of course open my arms and we come together for our forgiving hug.

I can never stay mad at Ethan, it's nearly impossible.

"I love you so much, I'm sorry for being an ass I was just mad because of this entire situation." His arms wrapped around on my shoulders, holding me tight.

I would do the same but I'm too short to go around the shoulders so I just hold onto his waist.

"It's okay, we've been in here forever now and you finally lost it I understand that but we need to keep it together okay?" I look up at him making sure he understands me.

"I know Alice, I just hate not being able to help you, protect you. Your pregnant and-" he trails off, looking at the floor. "Ethan..it's not your fault. You couldn't have prevented this."

He needs to stop feeling guilty.

"Alice- I..."

Uh oh.

"What?" I urge.

"I think we should talk." His hands fiddle with mines. "Um, okay." I squint my eyes, nervous. So he takes my hand and leads me to the bed. We sit down and he has his stare fixed on a certain part of my body.

My stomach.

"So...what did you want to talk about?" I ask starting the so far awkward conversation. His eyes still stuck on my belly. "I wanted to talk about..about the baby."

I'm not completely sure what he would want to talk about that involves the baby but okay.

"What about it?" I ask. I search his eyes as he takes a deep breath and now looks past me. "I was thinking when you were gone, what if..if the baby really is mines, what happens?" He looks very into thought.

"I didn't really think about it." He's right. "What if what he said was a lie?" He lowers his voice as if Demetrius was standing right over his shoulder. "You mean the letter?" I ask, brows frowned thinking Demetrius would not lie about something like that.
