I run home knowing that Ethan or someone from school is going to come and or text me. I run up to my door and slam the door run upstairs crying. Thank god my mom isn't home.
I was calming down and about to wash my face when Ethan texted me,
"Hey, I really don't know what's happening, all I know is that I saw your eyes and I saw you completely break and I'm sorry I couldn't help fast enough. I told you I wouldn't let anyone hurt you and I let them hurt you. I'm sorry, I love you more than anything and I'm always going to be there for you."
I reply to Ethan with,
"Ethan it's fine, I still don't know what's up with them but what they said really got to me and I don't really feel like repeating what they said right now but I promise I'll tell you."
"You don't ever have to tell me if you don't want to but I need to know what breaks you and what makes you happier and stronger. I'm sorry princess." He says
I'm exhausted from crying and running and yelling so I take a nap and begin fresh in about an hour. I wake up and it's about 5:30 and my mom left a note when I was sleeping.
"Huh, she must have come home while I was sleeping and left again." I said quietly even though no one was home.
"Hey sweetie, saw you were sleeping when I got home around 3:30 earlier, just had to drop by and grab a few things, won't be home until late late tonight, if you feel lonely, just invite the girls over or Ethan, xoxo love mom" I read the note aloud. I went upstairs to my bathroom and took my hair and put it in a pony and went to my room to text Ethan asking if he could come over and he said that he would be over soon. I change into a sweatshirt and leggings and sandals. I head downstairs and chill on my phone for a bit when I hear someone knocking on my door, I let Ethan in and smile and he kisses me. I start cooking pasta and Ethan starts to slowly budge his way into my situation/breakdown today and I let him. I turn around and completely spill, starting like so;
"You know how I have two periods with them and I usually sit with them for both of them? Ya well I went to first period and I walked in and they all shunned me and turned completely around and ignored me, so I sat alone, then Lilly gets up and rolls her eyes at me, so I ditched second period because I couldn't do it anymore and I knew I was going to break sometime. I spent the time in the office and walking around. Lunch comes around and I sit alone and then all of a sudden, the only time they talk to me today, they come to the table I am sitting at and they start telling me how my parents divorce was my fault and how my dad was an alcoholic because he hated me and I fully lost it and went insane." I explain the best I can while bawling my eyes out.
"I'm so sorry baby, none of what they said was true babe, it wasn't your fault and we all know that. They have a serious problem with us but it isn't going to stop us huh?" He says reassuring me
"Never" I reply as he's wiping my tears away. I calm down a bit and we go to my room and watch a movie and I fall asleep, but not fully. I feel Ethan leave my side and kiss my cheek and let himself out, but I hear him talking to my mom who is finally home and he's just explaining how I invited him, she was okay with it and says goodnight to him.
"It'll all be worth it." I tell myself.
