Death Do Us Part

Chapter 4: What's He Thinking?

*unedited*

Ethan's P.O.V

It was an average morning. It was one of the worst days, MONDAY. Monday's are so gross I don't even know why they exist.
This morning I woke up tired as fuck because I didn't go to sleep ,the usual. Going to school I ran into Katie. I find her really pretty but I can't like her. See the thing is I'm not scared of her but I'm scared of what other people might think.
I'm a popular guy. Katie is an outcast. NO ONE TALKS TO HER. Besides that guy Steve she's always around. One day I was being mean to Katie and he punched me square in my jaw.
When I see Katie I get this weird feeling around her, a good one. But honestly I don't think she likes me one bit. During chemistry Mr. Hansen chose Katie and I to be partners... In my head I was think "YES THANK YOU GOD!" However out loud I was yelling that I want a new partner.

I'm only mean to her because everyone expects me to be. I know that's a bull shit reason but I have a reputation to keep.

Mr. Hansen made Katie and I stay afterschool. I wasn't upset. Katie was pretty pissed... Okay she was REALLY MAD. She was shouting. But to be fair I was being a douche bag. I was really worried about her. I kept seeing her shake like she had anxiety. I was mostly worried about her because of the scars I see on her. She was yelling I zoned out and then she got a phone call. I noticed she looked scared for her life.

I thought to myself why was she scared?, what happened to her arm?, who's hurting this girl physically?.

She never let me or Mr. Hansen see her arm. I heard rumors that she cuts herself and causes harm to herself.

Once she got off the phone she told Mr. Hansen and I she had to go. She sounded like she was about to cry. I think she was. She left but I wasn't gonna leave her alone like that I like bother her. So I followed her to see what was wrong. She never noticed me.

When she got home I waited a while then I was going to ring the doorbell. Until I heard screaming and yelling and glass breaking. I knocked on the door. However there was no response. I knocked two more times. I saw that the door was open so I went inside

Then and there I saw Katie lying on the floor out cold.
"KATIE ARE YOU OKAY?!" I say as I ran up to her trying to help her breath.

Her mother walked in and was just a surprised. It was weird though. If Katie was home alone why did I hear yelling, screaming, and glass break? Another weird thing is there is no sign of glass anywhere.

This all seems weird to me. If no one was home what happened to Katie? Her mom asked me who I was. I said a kid from her class she forgot her paper. Her mom looked mean and had blood on her arm.

"Uhh ma'am your arm is bleeding!" I say worried. This whole family is weird

"Uh I'm aware." She says so calmly with an attitude.

"We need to get Katie to a hospital!" I say worried picking her up.

"No no no she's fine she will wake up any minute this happens a lot." She says

"She needs a doctor you can't feel a pulse!" I say practically yelling.

"I THINK YOU NEED TO LEAVE. LEAVE KATIE ALONE AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT HER!" She says yelling at me.

I left Katie alone because I'm honestly scared of what her mom might do.

Somethings off about her mom I feel it in my gut. I hope Katie's okay.
I hope her mom wasn't dumb enough to just leave her there.

Hopefully I can see her tomorrow.

I need start being nice to her.

WHO AM I WHY AM I BEING SO NICE?!?!? I've never cared for a girl like that. Something seems different about Katie she just seems special for some reason.

*next day*

Katie and I are supposed to work on the chemistry project at my house today. I hope she's well enough.

"HEYY BAAAABE!!!" I hear a girly voice behind me. I thought it was Katie for some reason but I thought to myself she's not my girl...yet. I felt a smirk go across my lips.

"BAAAAAAAAABE!!!!" I hear the girly voice wine. I finally turn around. It was *gulp* my girlfriend...

"Hi baby." I say casually with no feeling.

I know I'm not supposed to like other girls but who cares I'm know as the fuckboy. I don't like being known as one, I just get tired of the same boring relationship.

However for some reason Katie just has something special. She fills my day with excitement with her feisty self. I start to smile.

Angelica, my girlfriend, has noticed I dozed off and snapped her fingers and said "HELLLLOOOO UP THERE!" She's a clingy girlfriend. I wouldn't say I love her though. I say it but I don't mean it. She thinks I do but that's because I know how to act around her. I guess you can say I'm a good actor, or as Katie would say "no your girlfriend is just clueless about everything."

          I hope Katie's okay. I think I might actually have feelings. Who am I? Why do I feel this way when I think or talk to Katie? Oh fuck... Did I just say that...

      Forgetting Angelica was there and where I was I yell in the hallway, I LIKE KATIE!" I look around and notice I just fucked up my life....
