Birthday Girl // e.d

chapter 8

☆ethan's point of view☆

i lean against a post, drink in hand, and watch bella get drunker and drunker throughout the night. she's a funny drunk. i think before quickly scanning the room, looking for gray. i set my cup down, and pull out my phone.

ethan: bro, where are you?

i wait a few minutes before i give up. he probably hooking up with some chick. i put my phone away and look towards where bella was, but don't see her. i look around before my eyes finally find her. she's dancing on top of a table, her dress straps slidding down her shoulders, and looking totally wasted. i watch her for a bit, before i notice that she's about to fall. i push through the crowd, getting to her just in time. she slips and lands right in my arms.

"hey there beautiful." i say softly.

"hiiii."  she slur, which makes me chuckle. the next thing i know, she's grabbed from my arms, and pulled away from me.

"don't you fucking touch her!" ryder, yells, walking towards me, and punching me hard, in the jaw. i fall to the ground, groaning, and hold my jaw.

"what the hell man?!" i yell. "i caught her. she would have fallen and cracked her head open.

"like that's the truth!" he says, before punching me again, this time in the gut.

i groan and stand up. bella rushes foward. "ry! what are you doing? stop!" she yells, pulling ryder back by the arm. he shakes her off, and she looses her balance, falling to the ground.

♡bella's point of view♡

i rush foward, grabbing ryder's arm, to try and get him away from ethan.
"ry! what are you doing? stop it!" i yell. he just shakes his arm, i lose my balance and fall to the ground. it didn't hurt but it did piss me off. i rush in front of him and put my hands on his chest. i shove him hard, and he stumbles backwards.

"you know something ryder?" i ask.

"what?" he slurs.

"we are done." i say firmly. i turn around to ethan, and hold my hand out. he takes it, and stands up.

i smile at him. "this way." i say softly.
i start to lead him upstairs when ryder grabs my arm.

"please don't go bug. i love you so much." he pleads.

i shake my head. "sorry ry. i can't do this anymore. thanks for being a great boyfriend." i lean down and kiss him on the cheek, then turn back and lead ethan up the stairs. i lead him into a guest room. he goes and lays on the bed, as i lock the door. i smiles at him and take my heels off then get in bed next to him.

"hey." he whispers.

"hi." i whisper back, and scoot closer to him. he smiles and pulls me towards him. "what do you want to do?" he asks, running his hands through my hair. i close my eyes, sighing.

"can we sleep i ask? i'm so tired and i'd love a cuddle buddy." i ask, opening one eye to look at him.

he grins and nods. "of course beautiful." he kisses my forehead, and pulls the blanket over us. i snuggle closer, closing my eyes.

"goodnight eth." i say, already almost asleep.

"goodnight bella." he says, before i fall asleep.
