The good girl meets the bad boy

Chapter 16: no, this cant be happening.

The next day I woke up to the sound of my mother vacuuming downstairs.
I put my pillow over my head, but it was useless. So I just tried closing my eyes and ignore the annoying sound, but there was no point.
Giving up, I got out of bed and wore my slippers and went to the bathroom.
After that, I walked down he stairs grumpily with a frown on my face.

"Mom" I whined, "it's seven in the morning, why are you vacuuming?"
"Oh honey your awake," she said, "come and help me"
I looked around the living room and noticed it was a mess.
"Mom why are you up so early? And why are cleaning the house now?"
"Guess what! We have new neighbors! And I have invited them over to have some tea in the evening" She said while smiling.
"New neighbors?" I said with a shocked look on my face.
It was weird, why would anyone want to live in this neighborhood? It was a quite and far place from the town, and no one really came there.
But my parents liked these kinds of places, so that's why moved there.
"Yea! And I've met he lady last night and she is so sweet! She is a single mother and has a son, maybe your age"
"Where's dad?"
"He's in the backyard planting some flowers I gave him to plant" she looked so happy I felt like she was gonna throw a party.

We were finally done with the house work. I felt so exhausted and felt my legs were wobbly, so I sat down and rested my neck on the couch.

I instantly remembered yesterday, and Ethan.
Why couldn't I just forget?
I remember the way he was staring, the way we said goodbye.
I shouldn't think about him, I have a boyfriend.
Omg. I forget about Taylor, I was sure he was worried about me.
I quickly checked my phone and saw that I had twenty missed calls from Taylor. So I called him back.
I waited for him to pick up anxiously.
"Hello? Alice? Is that you? Are you ok?" He sounded so worried, I wasn't surprised.
"Taylor, I'm fine. Dont Worry about me"
I said in a calm voice.
We continued to talk for about half an hour, I just felt like time passed by so fast whenever I was with Taylor. I looked at the time and saw that it was six thirty, that meant there was half an hour for he guests to come.
I said bye to Taylor and hung up, and went in the bathroom to take a shower.
Once I was done, I got out of the bathroom with a towel on. I heard the doorbell rang and knew that it was the guests.
I quickly put on a pair of white jeans and a pink top on and let my hair down.

I jogged on the stairs and headed to the living room.
There was a lady sitting on the couch with a purple dress on beneath her knees, and she had her hair in a nice bun, she looked like she was in her fourtys. She had a grin on her face and she looked very nice.
There was a boy sitting next to her with a black hoodie on, I could barely see his face.

"Oh, Alice you came" my mom said with a huge smile on her face, "Meet Miss. Smith and her son Ethan" Mom had remembered Miss. Smith from the day of the accident in the police station, and told Miss. Smith that it was a terrible day.
I turned around to shake hands with them, the lady shook my hand and complemented me on my shirt, she said she loved the color pink.
I thanked her and went to shake hands with the boy sitting next to her.

Once the boy looked up I realized it was Ethan.

No, this can't be happening.
