Summer Love

chapter 19

Ethan shuts the door and turns to me.

"Really Riley? Your not beautiful, perfect, smart, funny and everything else I said? Where are you getting that from?" He says upset. I look down.

I told him everything I was thinking. What happened in elementary school, what I thought about my appearance and more. I told him that in grade 9 I made it my mission to not have a crush on any boy at school. I told him that left the mission for a bit on the first day of school when my friend and I went into her French class and saw this guy who was really attractive. The mission came back when I found out that the guy was her French teacher and not a student. I told him that no guy cared to talk to me or anything. I told him my brother always tells me that I am ugly, that I deserve to die alone and that I should just kill myself. I told him that my brother used to and sometimes still does physically and verbally abuses me but my parents do nothing about it. I told him that at camp is usually the only time my brother actually cares about me. I told him that my older sister blamed my birth on the reason she did drugs, and got pregnant twice at a very young age. And since she blamed me she has been calling me fat and ugly. I told him I've just gotten used to everybody telling me I am ugly and fat and should just kill myself. I told that when he told me I am perfect that I knew he was lying because no one ever tells me that.

After I was done telling him everything I walked over to his bed and sat down and cried. He just stood there with a face that was unreadable, while staring at me. A few minutes later he came over to me and went down in front of me on his knees. He cupped my cheeks and wiped the tears away. He looked me in the eyes and kissed me on the cheeks softly.

"Riley. Please stop telling yourself that. Don't tell yourself your ugly and fat. What happened in your elementary school was awful. Just because you didn't and don't look like the girls in your classes does not make you any less than them. Your mission was to help you not get attached and be broken-hearted again which makes sense but shouldn't be a thing. You shouldn't have been dissed and broken-hearted for being different. Your brother is wrong. You are not ugly, you wont be alone and you should never even think about killing yourself. The abuse he does to you is 100% not right and from now on because I am in the picture when we get home if he ever does anything to you I am around and I will not let it keep happening. Your sister can not blame her mistakes on your birth. She is also very wrong about you being fat and ugly. Being used to being told these things is not healthy. What you need to get used to is me telling you your perfect. Riley I love you much that it is hurting me to see you like this. It hurts to know that people are making this angel in front of me upset. Riley you are an angel. Your my angel. Since I've met you Sunday, you've made me happy. You've made me laugh and just love spending time with someone like you. Babe, you need to know much you mean to me and I am going to prove to you how much of an angel you are and just how much love I have towards you. But right now you need to calm down. So lie down on my bed and lift the covers over you." He says to me.  I do what he says and he walks over to Sirius' bed.

"What are you doing Ethan?" I say in a whisper.

"Giving you time to rest." He says. I motion for hi to come over.

"Stay with me please." He nods and I move over. He crawls into the bed and cuddle up to him. I breathe in the Pine smell and smile. He puts the blanket over the two of us and I close my eyes.

"I love you Ethan." I whisper.

"I love you to Angel." He says.

I fall asleep to him rubbing my back and humming Carryon my wayward son.

**Sorry for the short chapter I just felt that this chapter should stay this short and I'll put the end of the day in the chapter. Thanks for reading!!!!!!
