Yet Another Cinderella Story (ON HOLD- AGAIN)

Chapter 7: Emotions

*BTW This is not what the Guy looks like (Not revealing his name yet)*

** Ali's POV**

Kyle took me home and begged me to let him come in. I tried to tell him I was fine then thanked him before going into my house.

I can't function right now.

I've always been the one everyone ignored or hated. I know that. I've never thought I was pitiful.

The pain in my chest intensified as I sulked into my room. I slammed my bedroom door, and turned on my stereo to full blast. This isn't fair.

I threw myself at my bed and let the tears fall. Sobs raked my body violently. Yet, the music drowned them out into soft whimpers.

More and more thoughts poured into my brain, making me sob harder. My throat felt raw, and my eyes burned.

Suddenly, My door flew open, the music was turned off, and my brothers arms wrapped around me tightly. Ethan ran his hand through my hair soothingly. He didn't say anything making my sobs ring around the room.

I could hear faint footsteps approach us and a small voice call for Ethan.

"Not right now, Kayla," my brother scolded lightly.

"Is sissy sad??" Kayla asked, in a hushed tone.

"She's okay. I've got her, K." Ethan tightened his hold slightly, and slowly I started to calm down or at least fake it, for K's sake.

"Can I help her feel all better?" Her three year old voice called. Ethan slowly let go of me, but I kept my face in his chest. I didn't want to scare K with my running make up.

Kayla jumped on my back, wrapping her tiny arms around my neck securely. I let out a small giggle, and looked at her.

Kayla gasped loudly, "Your face is all messed up sissy. I fix you!!" She rapidly tries to wipe the mascara off of my face. "Oh no! I did it worse!!" Ethan let out a small chuckle before grabbing Kayla.

"Kayla, can I talk to sissy alone for a while?" Kayla frowns slightly at the use of her full name.

"Why?"

"Kayla, please," Ethan looked at her with puppy dog eyes. Kayla grumbled under her breath before stomping out of the room.

Ethan walked after her, closing the door.

"Ali.." He looked at me with a serious expression. "What's wrong? Is it about a boy?" His teeth were clenched at the mention of a boy, his over protectiveness shining through.

I silently looked at him, my eyes heating up again. "I...Ethan...yes..." I held back another sob, remembering how Blake was kissing Alexis. I don't know. Maybe, he didn't pity me. He probably just didn't care about me.

I don't even know why I thought he could ever like me...

Ethan growled lowly. My head quickly snapped toward him with confused look. His face softened slightly.

"Ali.. I don't want anyone to hurt you, ever. I promise, even if you don't tell me who he is, I'm going to find this kid, and give him a royal ass whipping." His voice grew harsh and snippy at the end. I flinched back, slightly.

"Ethan, you're doing it again." He shrugged lightly.

"Someone has to be there for you as a big protective brother. We both know Kayden won't do shit."

"He isn't that bad to you. You're just being bias."

Ethan shrugs lightly again, "He treats you and mom like shit, and I don't appreciate it. You guys are family. I don't understand how he can be such an asshole to the two most beautiful people I know."
