Why Do You Bully Me? E.d~ G.d (Editing!!!)

chapter 24 •forgive me•

*ethan's p.o.v*

"Do you want some pizza?.." She asks putting down her slice.

I chuckle at her awkwardness. "No its ok". We stare at each other in silence. I think she thought it was awkward because she kept twiddling her thumb on the pizza box. While I enjoyed this silence... sort of.

"Is this seat taken? Uh.. I mean swing.. swing seat.. seat thingy, I don't know" I fumble trying to find the right words for this swingy seat thingy.

She chuckles at my choice of words. "Um no. Go ahead" she motioned for me to sit.

I start walking to the swing next to her, but I wasn't paying attention because I walked into the little chains that hold up the swings. Causing Katherine to try hold back a laugh.

She sets down her pizza box and looks at me expectantly. Oh right... I asked her to come talk.

"Ok first off, I just wanna start by saying I'm so sorry for being a huge dick. I should've just stopped trying to hurt you." I apologize looking at my lap. "All I cared about was my stupid popularity" I add.

She looks at me shaking her head. "What do you want me to say? That I forgive you? I know as soon as I do forgive you, you're just gonna go hurt me physically again! Like I said before, if you truly cared for me, you won't hurt me."

"Hey! I'm trying. I'm just.. scared. Just let me take my time. Let me figure out my feelings and my thoughts." I admit.

" you can take you're time. You can sort out you're feelings and thoughts. As long as it takes for you to not hurt me. I'll help you along the way, I may regret it.. sometimes. But I'll help" she kicks a few rocks.

"Thank you, Katherine.. so much. You can trust me" I assure her.

"Prove it" she challenges.

"I will and I won't let you down. I won't let you go... never let go rose." I joke.

She give me a weird look than shakes her head laughing at my joke. She picks up the pizza and eats her half eaten slice.

I must've be staring because she looks at me and laughs. "I knew you were going to be staring so... I made them stack mine." She shows me the pizza box and I don't know how I didn't notice how large the box is.

"It's also you're favorite. Like old times" she adds giving me the box.

My jaw drops in shock. "How did you manage to do that?" I point to the box.

"An extra twenty can get you some things" she winks at me and laughs. I thank her and start eating my pizza. I glance at Katherine to see her looking at the sky. It got me thinking.

"I've missed you" I blurt out.

She looks at me for a second. "I missed you too.." She sighs looking down.

"Hey, what's wrongs?" I grab her chin and tilt her head upwards, facing me.

She takes a deep breath before answering. "From what I've been through, it takes a lot for me to trust someone. So when I say I trust you.. I mean it."

My face lights up like a kid seeing a big bag of candy. "You.. trust me?"

She nods her head yes.

I throw the pizza to the ground and pick her up, swinging her in a circle. Causing her to laugh at me.

I put her down and she gets a sudden look of sadness. "What's wrong" I ask concerned.

"The pizza.." She pouts looking at the scattered pizza, covered in dirt.

"Um.. my bad"

"You owe me-" I cut her off knowing what she was gonna say. " a twenty, I know I know"

"No, you owe me a new pizza. stacked!!" Wow she must love her food.

"Haha fatty" I tease.

Katherine gets a look of hurt in her eyes before it goes away. I think I hit a nerve there. I forgot we always used to call her fat.

"Funny" she says sarcastically, while her eyes show a bit of sadness.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to call you a fatty."

"I'm was just a joke, it's fine"

"No. I forgot how everyone would call you fat because of us. I also noticed how you lost a lot of weight." I actually did notice. Even when I picked her up she seems really light. It kinda scared me.

"It's fine" she pulls away from the hug.

"Do you want to come over?" I offer suddenly.

"Are you sure? Because I came here in-" I interrupt again. "Yes and it's getting a bit chilly. Come on" I grab her hand. We start walking when Katherine walks a different way pulling me along.

"You didn't let me finish. I came here in my truck." She shows me her truck. I must admit it's a pretty big truck for a small girl, and it looks cool.

I stare at in awe. "When did you get this?" I ask still in awe.

"My dad got for me a few months ago when I got my beginners. Now I have two vehicles. Car and truck." She says proudly. "Anyways come on, it's getting chilly and I didn't bring a sweater."

*************

Me and Katherine are laying in my bed cuddling. I like the feeling of having her in my arms.

She traces little circles on my hand, while I admire her face.. from my view at least.

"I'm gonna get some water, you want some?" I offer her sitting up. She laugh at my offer.. I don't know what for. "Hehe, you need water? You seem thirsty" she jokes.

"Where'd you get that from?" I ask chuckling at her joke.

"From a book I've read a few weeks ago." She smiles at me.

"I'll be right back." I get up and jog downstairs and get a glass of water.. should I get her one too? She didn't answer my question. I'll ask her again.

Running back up the stairs, I go into my room and see Katherine staring down at her lap shaking a bit. So I rush over to her. "Hey. hey. hey. It's ok, breathe, are you ok?"

She nods looking up at me. "Lay with me?" Her voice is a bit shaky.

I nod getting under the covers, puller her closer to me. "You wanna tell me what happened?" I rub her back.

She shakes her head and snuggles into me more. "Just.. promise me one thing?" She looks up at me. I nod for her to continue. "Please.. don't let anyone hurt me." She begs.

I hold her tighter.. if that's possible. "I promise I won't let anyone hurt you" I kiss her forhead.

"Then I forgive you" she mumbles.

I smile before drifting off to sleep with Katherine in my arms. I wonder what got her freaked out. I'll ask her sometime later. Right all I wanna do is enjoy having her in my arms.
