Baby Girl

Chapter eight

I woke up around seven forty five i didn't have to go to school until 8:45 so i had an hour to get fixed up. I put on some jeans and a regular t-shirt. Washed my face, and didn't put any makeup. I was too lazy to do it hehe.

I walked down stairs to find my mom and only my mom. No sign off Alex and Jacob. Which is weird because they're always making breakfast and always here before me.

"Morning mom, where Jacob?" I ask.

"Maggie, we need too talk." She answered completely ignoring my question.

I nodded not knowing what was going on. But from her expression i could tell it wasn't gonna be a good conversation .

"I heard you come in late, around twelve too be exact." She paused.

Then it hit me. Last night i came in at midnight. After sneaking out when i was grounded. With Ethan.

"I know you were with those Dolan boys. I cant believe you Maggie. I ground you for ditching school with him, then you sneak out with him and return at midnight?! This is un expectable behavior." She continued. Her expression getting angrier and angrier by each breath. I swear she was getting redder than a tomato.

"Mom I'm sorry. We just went to the carnival and it got out of hand and we jus-"

Before i could finish she snapped.

"I forbid you too see Ethan and Grayson. I expect you too understand why i don't want you with them. They're a distraction, you need too focus on your grades and just your grades. Next time I find out you sneaked out while you were grounded or ditched school with Ethan I will have too home school you myself. And thats final."

She spoke. Each word was cold and bitter.
"Forbid?" Who does she think she is ? She cant just "forbid" me too stop talking or seeing Ethan.

"Excuse me?" I spoke scoffing.

She turned around and gave me a confused look.

"Forbid ? You cant forbid me too do anything. This is my life. I wont stop seeing Ethan. And if you're against it then too bad. You cant stop me. And thats final."

I said as i grabbed my bag and left. I couldn't believe her. All my life my moms always nagging  "have perfect grades" "have a perfect boyfriend" "be the perfect daughter" "have a perfect life" "don't mess up." Always. Nagging and nagging. And just too me. Not too Jacob or Alexa. Probably because I'm the youngest.

Since i had too walk to school because my mom was using the car i missed first period and arrived half way through second. (Which was when i had Ethan and Grayson at the same time.)

When i finally got to class i sat next to Ethan and quickly jogged down all the notes quickly.

Mr.Edmiston noticed me but didn't really care. He just kept writing on the green chalkboard.

"Why so late?" Ethan asked pushing my shoulder. While writing notes.

I quickly remembered the argument with my mom. I couldnt just tell him my mom hated him and his brother.

"Stuff." I said flatly.

I didn't directly look at him but i could feel his eyes on me. Scanning me. Made me uncomfortable tbh. Then he leaned close and whispered.

"After school behind the gym." Then the bell rang and he left.

*after school*

As i walked to the gym i saw Grayson. He's been really quite since the carnival. I decided to say hi, i missed our small talks. But as i walked closer i realized he wasn't alone.he was talking to some guy in a black hoodie. I hid behind a corner. He hadn't noticed me.

The hoodie guy took out a pack with a white powder substance Grayson quickly snatched it and stuffed it into his back bag. Then they both walked away in the opposite directions as if nothing ever happened. Grayson walked in my direction still not noticing me. I pretended as if i was texting, i know stupid but it helps. As he was about to pass me i quickly popped up and blocked his path.

"Watcha got there gray?" I asked pointing at the small bag on his back bag. His face turned pale.

"Nothing " he muttered as he tried to get past me.

I put my hand on his shoulder and pulled him back. "Grayson what did he give you?" . "Drugs?" I asked my voice getting lower. The thought of Grayson becoming a drug addict terrified me. A sweet caring funny guy turning into a lowlife criminal.

He raised an eyebrow took my hand of his shoulder then spoke"Mind your own god dam business Maggie" He said as he walked toward me getting closer until i hit the hard brick wall.

I pushed him off. "Grayson whats wrong with you?" I was getting scared. His tall muscular figure was towering over me and his once bright hazel eyes replaced by a dark brown color.

His expression angered even more.He opened his mouth to say something then was interrupted by a voice that snapped both our heads toward it.

"Whats going on here?" I saw Ethans tall figure. I forgot i was supposed to meet him after school.

By the time i turned back Grayson had already disappeared.

"Ethan ,I'm worried about him. He hasn't been the same loving Grayson i know." I looked at the cold hard cement trying to sort it all together. I could feel Ethans eyes on me.

After a long pause Ethan finally spoke

"Well anyways..." He said taking from behind his back a bouquet of beautiful red roses with a black little box in the middle. And handed it to me.

"Go ahead" he pointed at the little black box that i was opening. It revealed my name in glamorous cursive writing with diamonds in between. I glistened beautifully in the sunlight. I looked at Ethan who was smiling greatly.

He carefully got it out and placed it around my neck.

"Ethan.... Its.. It's beautiful." I quickly hugged him. His large muscle-y arms around my waist and my arms around his neck.

And i gave him a quick kiss.

"I love it thank you." I held it in my hand.  And smiled.

"Maggie Reynold Winters , will you give me the honor of making me your boyfriend? Will you be my girlfriend?"

"I do." I said playfully. And the rest of the day we talked. From sunset to midnight. We talked about our futures. Our plans. Our interests. Every once in a while about each other.

And it all just happened so quickly one day we were laughing like we were best friends and the next thing i new i was undeniably in love i cant contain myself when it comes to him. He's consumed parts of me i never knew where empty.
