Ethan:"What do you say we put ours too? (he asked smiling).
Me: But I don't have a lock..
Ethan: I do (takes out a lock from his pocket).
Me:Do you have everything in that pants of yours?
Ethan:Maybe.."
We borrowed Paul's marker so we could write down our initials on the lock.We threw the key in the river and kissed each other.
1 hour later..
6 pm,it was getting cold so we said our goodbyes and headed to our hotel.
We went to awwEthan:Great,let's do it!
Mom:Sure!
Me:Mom,where's Aaron? I haven't seen him in months..
Mom:Umm..he's at his girlfriend's house..(as a tear went down her face).
Me:What,why?
Mom:Umm..he wanted to take their relationship to the next level so he lives there now..
Me:And you let him?
Mom:Sweetie,let's talk about this later ok? Let's just enjoy our dinner.
Me:Um,ok.."
We enjoyed our dinner and head back to the hotel.
Me:"Ethan go in our room,I'll catch up with you later.
Ethan:Alright (gives me a kiss on the cheek)."
Ethan went to our room as my mom and I went to talk in her room.
Me:"So why did you let him live at his girlfriend's?
Mom:He's..he's uncontrollable now..(as she started crying).
Me:What do you mean? (as I started to get worried).
Mom:He's on drugs Lucy.."
As soon as the words slipped out of her mouth,I was in complete shock.I didn't say anything, I just walked out of her room and went in mine.Ethan saw my face was white.
Ethan:"Babe,are you ok?"
I didn't answer..
I just laid on the side of the bed and started crying.Ethan laid down next to me as he hugs me tight.
Ethan:"Shh,I'm here now..
Me:I just..can't..believe..
Ethan: Don't say anything babe,just calm yourself down..(as he hugs me tighter)."
He slowly started to kiss my neck as I slowly drift down to sleep.
The next morning..
8 am,I woke up with Ethan next to me and got ready.
Ethan:"Lucy?
Me:I'm in the shower!"
I got dressed and got out of the bathroom.
Me:"What's wrong?
Ethan:Nothing,I just wanted to know where you were.What happened last night?"
I sat on the side of the bed as Ethan sat next to me.
Me:"My brother's on drugs..(as a tear went down my face).
Ethan:Oh my god..I'm so sorry.."
Ethan hugs me as I rest my head on his shoulder and started to cry.
Me:"Why would he do this to me? Was I a terrible sister?..
Ethan:No you're not,I'm sure he's just depressed at the moment.
Me:I don't know..I just hope he'll be okay..Aaron and I are so close.
Ethan:I promise he'll be fine.."
I wiped off my tears and got up.
Me:"Are you gonna get ready?
Ethan:Yeah"
Ethan gets ready while I was putting on my makeup.
10 minutes later,Ethan gets out of the shower and stares at me while I'm doing my makeup.
Ethan:"Why do you wear makeup?
Me:To cover up my bruises,I don't want to scare people away.
Ethan:Since when did you ever scared someone? (he asked with a smirk).
Me:I guess I never did.
Ethan:Exactly
Me:Just get dressed already.
Ethan: Ok"
He gets dressed and we both joined my mom at the lobby.
My mom notices that my eyes were bright red because of all the crying.
Mom:"Are you ok sweetie?
Me:Yeah,I'm ok"
