"Why does everything have to be an argument with you?!", your parent yells, "Can't you just-"
"Why does everything have to revolve your perfect new girlfriend/boyfriend?!"
"That's it! Go to your room!"
You sigh and stomp up the stairs. Throwing the door behind you, you furiously beat your pillows.
You check your wrists and remember Ethan begging you not to do it again.
"Please just call me next time."
You sigh and grab your phone.
"Hello, beautiful."
You don't believe it. Beautiful.
The thought of it made you cringe.
"Baby?"
"Ethan-"
Your voice cracked and he cut you off, "Don't move-"
"But Ethan-"
"Don't move. I love you, I'll be there."
You hung up, knowing there was no argument with him. You packed some clothes, grabbed some money and got ready for Ethan to take you away.
Not wanting to shed a tear, showing weakness, you washed your face, you thought while you did Ethan would show up.
And he did.
As soon as you heard the car in the driveway, you rushed downstairs.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
You didn't turn, you just left.
You saw Ethan and hugged him up against his car, he hugged you tight.
You kissed him, then went to sit in the passenger seat.
"Ready?", you ask, closing your door.
He looked at your front door, then at you and sat down in his car.
"Do I wanna know?", Ethan asked, starting his car. You stayed silent, as your lips began to twitch, having the urge to cry, "Baby you can cry if you want."
"Baby, right now what I want is for you to just drive...", he stares at you for a minute, then begins driving.
He grabs your hand, staying silent.
"Baby-"
You were ready to break down.
"Baby. Baby-"
"Can you just- just...", your voice began cracking and he knew you were going to just let it all out. "Just drive...", tears began falling and your sobs were silent.
Suddenly, Ethan began swerving through lanes, he knew exactly where to go.
You wiped your eyes and he grabbed your hand.
His touch helped you calm down. Your breathing began to be more of steady pace.
After you took one final deep breath, you smiled at Ethan and said, "Thank you."
You lightly laugh before he says, "Actually before we go..."
You look up and see your favorite roller skating rink, "You didn't!"
"How about we-"
"Ethan!", you smile widely.
"You looked really down, I didn't want to ask because I knew it'd just upset you, so-"
You jump over the seat and hug him.
This is after.
"Can I ask you something?"
He looked over at you and smiled, "Anything."
"Anything?"
"Anything."
"Can we get in n out?"
He smiled slightly, "Why of course."
