He grabbed me and walked us over to the couch.
"What's wrong Ethan?" I asked. He wiped his tears and then took a deep breath. He looked up at me and said "Well, a long time ago, I knew Mrs. Jacobs. We went to high school together."
Wtf, Mrs. Jacobs is only like 24? I thought she was like 36.
"We were actually high school sweet hearts. We were named the cutest couple in the year book 3 years in a row, until senior year, that's when stuff... went bad."
He suddenly stopped talking and looked down, sniffling. I leaned over and lifted his chin up. I tried to give him a kiss but he pushed me away.
"No, I don't want to kiss you. You know what, I don't even want to be with you. I don't want to see you. I don't want to think about you. I just don't want you." He said.
He then got up and ran out of the house.
I sat there in shock for a few moments but then I got up and chased after him. I chased him all the way down the block screaming his name until finally he was out of my sight. I stopped running and sat down on a park bench trying to catch my breath.
What the fuck just happened? Why did he just bail like that? Did I do something wrong? I must have for him to say that he never wants to be with me or think about me again. But what did I do wrong?
My thoughts about Ethan were interrupted by thoughts about Ryan.
Oh shit Ryan. That little fucker is still at the house.
I quickly got up and sprinted back to the house. I left the door wide open. I didn't even think to close it when I went after Ethan. Anyone could be in here.
I silently walked into the house shutting the door behind me. I took a few steps into the house and didn't hear anything so I figured no one was in the house. I gave a relieved sigh and then started to walk into the kitchen.
Just as I was about to reach the kitchen, I heard someone crying. I stopped in my tracks and raced back to the front door. I grabbed a baseball bat that was left by the door and slowly started walking back towards the kitchen.
When I reached the kitchen I quickly jumped around the corner and held the bat up. I was going to swing until I saw who it was.
It was Mrs. Jacobs.
She was sitting on the floor sobbing over a picture.
(Sounds like Trisha Paytas ;))
I quickly put down the bat and lowered down to her level.
"Oh my god Mrs. Jacobs, I thought you were an intruder. Are you okay?" She looked up at me with mascara stains all over her face and red cheeks. "Yeah, yeah I'm totally fine. I'm just sobbing for no reason."
I sighed and then put my arm around her.
"Mrs. Jacobs, I think I know why your upset." She stopped sobbing for a second and looked at me. "It's because of Ethan, isn't it?" I said. Right when I said that she looked back down at the picture and started sobbing again.
"Look Mrs. Jacobs, I know your really upset but could you please tell me what happened between you and him. Did he cheat on you? Did he hit you? What happened?"
She shook her head and sighed. "Well, what happened was- was, oh I just can't say it." She said, trying to fighting back more tears. "You know what, I should just go." She said getting up and running out.
Okay what the actual fuck is going on with my life? I have a babysitter/boyfriend who is on the run and a family friend who is sobbing on my kitchen floor over my babysitter/boyfriend. Why me?
I sighed and rolled my eyes. I looked down at the floor and noticed that the picture she had was lying there upside down. I didn't want to invade her privacy but I really wanted to know why she was sobbing so much over that damn picture. I took a deep breath and slowly lifted up the picture.
Oh. My. God.
