Holiday Romance | Ethan Dolan

Chapter 13 - Interference Part 2

STILL ETHAN'S POV:

"I won't." I shrugged. We could easily replace the frames.

"Well, Devon started knocking on the door and since I'm stupid, I let him in." She started.

"Devon? That's why we saw him walking down the road just now." Grayson frowned.

"Why did he come here?" I asked in annoyance.

"He came to speak to me." She said slowly.

"Speak to you again? Does he not understand the word 'Ethella'?" Grayson rolled his eyes. I glanced at Bella's hand, blood was dripping down her wrist.

"Bel, you're bleeding." I quickly grabbed a tish from the kitchen and wiped some blood away.

Grayson went to the bathroom to get some tweezers. Once he came back with them, he gently picked out the bits of glass from her palm.

"So he came in here to speak to you, then he pushed our frames over?" Grayson inquired.

"Kind of." Bella shrugged.

"Kind of? What do you mean kind of?" I asked as I threw the bloody tish in the bin. "Did he do something?" My eyes scanned her face, awaiting the answer.

"It doesn't matter it's over now, he's gone." She mumbles uncomfortably.

"What did he do?" I ask, worried now.

She opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out so she closed her mouth again. I noticed a tiny red patch above her hipbone. I frowned curiously, I gently lifted her shirt up a bit to reveal the red mark in the shape of some fingers. Me and Grayson gasped in horror.

"Did he do that?" I say, open-mouthed.

"Yes, but it's fine. It doesn't hurt that bad." She looked down at her mark.

"That." I motioned to it. "Is NOT fine." I clench my jaw.

"What happened Bella?" Grayson frowned.

"Okay." She sighed. "He asked me out again, I said no and told him to leave but he wouldn't. Then he kissed me, very forcefully and maybe squeezed me a bit too hard. I tried pushing him away but he wouldn't move and then he hit the cabinet with the frames on them." She explained.

I was fuming. I couldn't even explain how angry I was.

"He fucking what?!" I raised my voice.

"What the hell. That's messed up!" Grayson frowned.

"Don't worry, I'll replace the picture frames." She said innocently.

"I don't care about the frames, I'm more worried about that red mark and your cut." I shake my head, like it was obvious.

"But he left after that, and then you guys came back." She added.

I took a deep sigh and ran my fingers through my hair a couple of times. I can't believe this happened. What a piece of shit. After a few seconds of silence, I went into my room to change my jeans and to get my jacket. Without saying anything I came back into the kitchen and grabbed my keys.

"What are you doing?" Bella asked, panicking.

"I'm going to see Devon." I angrily put my jacket on.

"Ethan, you don't even know where he lives." She sighed.

"I'll ask Asher." I shrugged.

"Oh and what are you going to do? Knock on his door and then what?" She rolled her eyes.
