Looking through the memories (egd fanfic)

Chapter 5;

When we got back to my house my mum was home and she looked worried.
When she saw me she ran over and hugged me "where have you been, I have been worried sick about you!" She shouted.
"I'm fine mum... Me and eth just got bored of studying so we went to get pizza, it just took longer than we hoped because we recognised the girl at he till. That's all." I replied.
"Well you forgot something", she said with tears starting to roll down her face, "come with me".

We followed her into the back room upstairs.
All I could see was our normal cabinet.
And the safe,
but the door to it was open,
nothing except a quarter and a note.
I gasped and threw my hands across my mouth.
"Oh shit, I'm such a fucking idiot, that's all of our money, just because I didn't lock the fucking door", I cried, and I hugged Ethan, starting to bawl my eyes out, "no way, no fucking way, what have I done, this is everything, my prom, my college fund, our HOUSE!" I cried.
"My life is ruined", I said quietly, but meaningly.
Ethan wrapped his arms around me, and bowing his head, resting it on my shoulder.
I had to look up because my eyes were hurting from pressing them them together and I was crying too much. I had left a huge puddle of tears all over Ethan's sweatshirt, he must have noticed, but he didn't seem to care.
He pulled away and held my shoulders, he looked as if he was going to say something but then my mum said "the cops will be here any second", trying to smile. That's why I loved my mother, she always stayed strong, even in the hardest moments.
"Everything will be okay Ava, if it helps, I will get a job and give your family every penny that comes from it, I'm sure my parents will help you out with anything if you need it. I will do everything I can, I promise, because I love you", Ethan said, trying to comfort me whilst giving me a weak smile, it worked a little bit. I trust him, and I know that what he says he means, I can tell by the look in his eyes. He picked me up and took me to my bedroom and laid me down on my bed, I sat up and hugged him. "Thank you, Ethan, I will get a job too, wherever you go, I need to help my mum", I said awkwardly wiping a tear from my face.
He pulled away and smiled "no problem babe, anything. Hold on a second, you missed a tear", he said smiling even more and getting his thumb and wiping away my tears, "I need to know how you do it... Tell me how even in your darkest hour, you manage to look beautiful and strong and still have a smile."
I had stopped crying now.
I grinned and pushed my now messed up hair behind my ears.
"Now I believe we had pizza", Ethan said smirking, he stood up and walked out my room.
