The day I've been dreading. I'll be leaving tonight, and I couldn't be more upset. I've still got some packing to do, but that's the least of my worries.
I haven't even said goodbye to Aaron, or Lexi.
And throughout the days, I've learned that nor Alda or Henry will be coming with us. This couldn't get any worse.
It's 2pm right now, and I'm currently packing again. Ethan decided to go to school today, but he said that after he'd come over. He should probably be getting out in about 40 minutes.
There's a knock at my door making me drop my arms that constantly worked, down. "Come in!" I shout from my spot, to lazy to walk over to the door myself.
The door cracks open revealing Henry. "Hello, miss Carter," he says in a soft voice.
"Hey,"
"I've brought you a snack, in case you were hungry," he gives me a soft smile, setting the plate on my bed.
"Thank you, Henry. I'll miss you and Alda, you know that right?"
"I know. And we'll miss you also,"
"You should get back to packing anyway. Goodbye miss Carter," he exits the room, not giving me time to say bye back.
------
My father went to pack up what's left in his office, because apparently he had forgotten to over the days.
He also let Alda and Henry go. Let go, meaning he fired them. He told them they should get better jobs, and explained how they were probably going to end up getting fired anyways.
Which means, I'm home alone. Which I've never been before.
That didn't last long though, as a knock was pounded on my front door. I fast-walk to the doors, peeking through the window next to it.
Sighing of relief, I see through the windows that it was only Ethan. I open the door, Ethan quickly letting himself in.
He sighs, "I cannot believe you're leaving tonight," he drops onto the couch, and looks over at me, probably expecting me to also sit with him. I slowly drag my feet toward him, plopping onto the seat next to him.
"I'm sorry," I lean my head on his shoulder, and play with my fingers. He grabs my hand, rubbing circles on the back of it.
"Don't apologize," he whispers, kissing the crown on my head. "You don't need to."
"I feel like I have to. People are upset that I'm leaving forever, and the fact that I can't do anything but say sorry is--" I cut myself off, taking in a breath.
Ethan uses his warm hand to caress the skin underneath the t-shirt Im wearing.
"Have I ever told you, that you are so beautiful," he face buried in my hair, "cause you truly are." He slowly kisses the skin on my neck, making me suck in a breath.
A couple more kisses to the jaw, as he makes his way to my lips, kissing them hard. I bring my hands up to hold his head in place, keeping his lips with mine.
Surprising both him, and myself, I turn my body over to straddle his waist. His hands snake into my shirt, and around my back, pulling me closer.
This moment feels so surreal, and what breaks me is the fact that we'll probably never get to do it again, because we'll probably never see one another again.
My hips grind onto him, as he let out a throaty moan, making me weak just at the sound of it.
I know that we can't do what he thinks we should, because I'm leaving tonight and after I leave, I'll probably just crave his touch again and go crazy.
I kiss him one last time, before getting off of him, leaving him confused and flustered.
"Wha-- wait, where are you going?" He stops me short as I stood up from the couch.
"Come lay with me," I pull his arm, leading us to my bedroom.
"Carter, you can't just start something and not finish it, you tease."
"As much as I'd love to," I open the door to my bedroom, and flop onto the bed, "I can't. Not when I'm leaving tonight," I shake my head.
He nods, laying next to me. "I understand," he turns his body around, hugging my body close, "I'll miss you," he says, nuzzling his face in the crook of my neck.
"I'll miss you more, E," I say, massaging my fingers through his hair.
"I love you,"

END OF CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
Unedited
Not much of a chapter at all, and I'm sorry that it's so short, but the reasoning for that is because I don't wanna leave y'all waiting for a chapter, and I can't stay up because of school. Also, not much ideas for this chapter, but I've got ideas for chapter 19 so be prepared.
So I'm really really really really sorry it's short, because I personally hate reading small chapters, so sorry once again.
Until next chapter, BYEBYE ✌🏻
