Mia

Chapter 9

"I don't remember agreeing for breakfast", I retorted.

"Relax. It's only an innocent gesture for our new fund Friendship". He said smiling.

"When do we agree to be on the "new fund friendship" phase, 'cause I don't remember' " I said adding air quotes  for effects. 

¨the more time you sit here arguing with me, the less time we have to get to school¨, he reasoned.

¨fine¨ I sighed defeated.

Ethan kept stolen glances at me, as we walked toward the fast food place. His expression seemed like he is worried. Like there was something he wanted to figure out.

¨what" I asked as we entered the restaurant and took a sit at one of the booth.

¨nothing¨ he deadpanned. I looked at me through my lashes.

¨okay, I know I said  I won't ask any question, well unless you decide to tell me¨ he said not quiet meeting my eyes.

¨yes you did¨

¨but I couldn't help but wonder about how you got all those scars and bruises. I'm starting to think that you're in some sort of danger¨

¨it's not your job to worry about me Ethan" I snapped. I didn't like where the conversion was going.\

¨I know, but...¨ I cut him off

¨no buts. I don't want to talk about this¨ I'm not going to start crying now. Ethan had brought the part of my life I never want to remember for as long as I lived. I felt like he is trying to pry into my life and something in head told me that I should just stay away from him.

¨you can't deal with everything yourself; you have to let others help, Mia¨ he said, concerned etching on his gorgeous face. I loathed that look.

"why are you doing this" I asked. Although i'm feeling anger rising up from my chest, I don't have the energy of relishing all that anger. I'm tired of getting angry, tired of running and hiding. My fears were only based on a theory. Maybe I could open myself to him. No you can't, it wouldn't end well for you if you do. That same warning voice disrupt all my thoughts of trusting Ethan.

As if reading my thoughts he said,"you don't trust me do you?" he asked and when I didn't respond he said,"I know that whatever it is that doesn't make you trust me, I hope that you will  let it out someday".

"what is your problem" I asked

"what is my problem?"

"yes, why are you so interested in my life so much. I barely know you. Its like you don't have anything better to do" He looked like I just slapped in the face. I refused to feel guilty. I refused to feel the fact that I'm not being fair.

"how about I ask you. What is your problem?" he asked sounding angry,"I know that there something you're hiding, but refused to get help-"

"I don't need your fucking help. I'm not asking for it!" I spat, cutting him off.

"you know what your fucking problem is? It's that you think that you've got everything figured out. You think that you don't need any help, but let me tell you something it's only gonna get worse, whatever it is that's going on in your life. If you lived by thinking that you don't need help in life then good luck. I know I said that I'm not giving up, which i'm not, but for now I have to leave you alone" he said grabbing his car keys and the way his voice dropped a little at the end, acknowledging me that he is hurt, broke my heart a little."obviously you don't like me, but if you do want us to get to know each other, if ever, you know where to find me, but for now i'm done" and with that he walked out living me alone at the restaurant.

I walked out to see that Ethan's car was still there and he was in it. Honestly, I thought he would've left me here to walk to school by myself. I knew the only reason for him to be sitting there was because he was waiting for me, so I didn't asked him, I just invited myself to his car.

We didn't exchange any words during the course of our ride. I sat there looking out the window, stealing occasional glances at him, and every time I look his jaw is set up in an angry profile.

I sat there with my heart beating rapidly in my chest.
