Taken- e.d

Chapter 11

...I finally finish after a good 5 minutes and he's all bandaged up. I give the lady the kit back with my fake smile and Ethan and I head back up to the room...

"Thanks." He says.

"No problem. It should start healing soon." I say.

We get back into the hotel room and I decide to take a shower. I haven't taken one in like 4 days so it's pretty necessary.

"I'll be right back I'm gonna take a shower." I say kissing his cheek.

"Can I come with?" He asks winking.

"I just bandaged you."

"I'm aware."

"So no. As much as I want you to, I don't want the medicine to wash out." I say giving him one last kiss before I go in the bathroom.

I'm washing out the conditioner in my hair and I hear a noise outside of the bathroom.

"Ethan?" I say. He doesn't answer.

I hear a cough. But it wasn't like a tiny cough, it was like a cough after you've been hit hard, so obviously I turn off the water, dry myself off, and then I hear a thud.

I put on my clothes and while I am I keep hearing groans and thuds. I finally get dressed and when I open the door I see Ethan on the floor and someone running out of our room.

I run over to Ethan and he's bruised on his face and chest and he has a bloody nose.

"I'll be right back E, don't move." I say. I kiss his forehead and he winces in pain. I frown and run out of the room.

I see someone run down the hallway and I chase after them. Track and cross country is paying off.

He turns the corner and so do I. I finally catch up to him and i jump into his back. He falls to the ground and I turn him around and I'm straddling him.

"GRAYSON?!" He has cuts and bruises on his face.

"What the hell is your problem?!" Are you kidd-

"REALLY?! WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?! YOU BEAT UP MY BOYFRIEND AND RAN OFF LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED." I was mad.

"He's not your boyfriend. He doesn't love you."

"YES HE DO-"

"No Ari he doesn't! He's using you! All he wants is sex. Do you really think he kidnapped you to fall in love with you?" When he says that I feel my heart break. Tears start forming in my eyes.

"SAYS THE PERSON WHO ALMOST TRIED TO RAPE ME!" I yell, bawling my eyes out at this point. I get off of him and we're standing face to face. Well more like face to neck because he was taller than me.

"Well I mean who wouldn't want to get with this?" He says smirking and pulling me closer.

"Grayson stop! I'm not believing you, Ethan loves me and I love him!" I say.

"Whatever you say." He says and walks away.

I walk back to the room with my cheeks stained with tears thinking about what Grayson said.

No Ari he doesn't! He's using you! All he wants is sex. Do you really think he kidnapped you to fall in love with you?

I'm crying again at this point. What if he's right. But he cant be. Ethan told be about how he loved me in middle school.

I wipe away my tears when I get to my room. I open the door and Ethan is laying down on the bed sleeping. He looked so peaceful.

I go into the bathroom and wash my face. I look up in the mirror and Ethan is behind me. I jump and look down.

"What's wrong baby?" He asks. He sounds so upset and worried.

"Nothing, it's nothing." I say

"I heard you crying outside. Tell me."

"But you were sl-"

"No I wasn't. I just pretended to be asleep. So Ariana tell me what's wrong."

I sniffle and walk out of the bathroom to sit on the bed. Ethan sits next to me and puts his hand on my leg.

"I was talking to Grayson and-" I say but Ethan cuts me off.

"Why were you talking to him?!"

"To ask why he hurt you!" I yell.

"Oh. Well, go on."

"He was saying that you didn't really love me and you just wanted me for sex. I didn't believe him but..."

"But what." He asks.

"Are you really using me for sex?" I ask.

"Of course not Ari! I love you I really do. Grayson doesn't know what he's talking about." He says. I smile him and hug him, trying not to hurt him from the cuts.

Ethan's POV
"Of course not Ari! I love you I really do. Grayson doesn't know what he's talking about." I say. She smiles and hugs me. Yeah right...
