Cruise// Ethan dolan

Chapter 24

Isabellas POV

Next day

My dad let me stay home today thank god. He went to work and I was home alone with daisy. I ate breakfast and I decided to watch tv. I got bored so I went to my room. On my wall there were pictures of me and Amber. Our sleepovers, hangouts, and vacations. Including the vacation we met Ethan and gray on. I ripped them off my wall and started crying on the floor. I have zero friends now. My life really sucks right now. I was thinking about burning the pictures but what would be the point. I got a text from Ethan.

Ethan- hey babe good morning

Bella- good morning

Ethan- shouldn't you be in school I didn't expect you to answer

Bella- yea but I stayed home because I'm sick. Why aren't you in school

I lied. I didn't want to tell him its because I have no friends anymore.

Ethan- oh I'm also sick

Bella- ok well feel better

Ethan- thanks babe you too

Ethan's POV

I just texted Bella that I was sick. I'm not really sick. I just lied to her. I feel awful but I don't want her to know about how bad I'm being bullied in school right now. I can't walk down the hallway without someone calling me names or giving me a death stare. Even the teachers are in on it. Gray also stayed home but he's actually sick. I miss Bella. She's one of the few people that loves me for me. I wish she went to my school, but instead we're hours away from each other. I went on my phone to see what's happening in school without me there. I went on an app where you can anonymously post stuff and it's just people in your area.

I'm gonna beat the shit outta the Dolan twins.

The Dolan twins are such faggots.

Why can't the Dolan twins just leave.

I turned off my phone. I couldn't handle it anymore. I wasn't even sad. I'm just mad that I didn't do anything and people hate me. I decided to FaceTime Bella. I know she's sick but I have to talk to her. I have to tell her the truth.

Isabellas POV

My phone started ringing it was Ethan. I have to pretend I'm sick. I grabbed some tissues and put them next to me. I hope that looks real.

"Hey Ethan what's up." I tried to sound sick. My eyes were already puffy from crying so I looked the part.

"Hey Bella. Have you been crying."

"No I'm just sick remember."

"Oh yea."

"You don't look sick." I was confused.

"Cause I'm not Bella." He told me everything. He told what people were saying about him. Since he told the truth I guess I should too.

"Ethan I'm not sick either."

"What?" He was confused.

I told him yesterday about Amber. But I didn't tell him about Sabrina or the people in the hallways giving me dirty looks. So I told him all of that.

"Wow. We're both kinda going through the same thing." He said in a sad voice.

"Yea. We both tried to hide it too."

"Let's try not to hide anything from each other from now on. We have to help each other with our problems." He was right.

"Yea Ethan you're right." I tear came down my face.

"Aww it's ok baby." It's really not.

"No it's not Ethan. My only friend left me for popularity, my parents aren't even together anymore, and you're not even here. My life sucks right now." I lost it I just started crying hard.

"Bella don't say that. Things might seem really bad now but time heals everything. I wish I was there to give you a hug and a kiss. I love you Bella." I don't deserve him. He's so sweet to me.

"Thanks Ethan. I love you too" We hung up and I took a nap.

Authors note

I know the part where Ethan read the negative comments was an actual video. I got that idea from there. Thanks for reading😊
