you run through the hallway, trying to escape. you can hear your name being whispered from one person to another other. their laughs echoing in your ear. you get to the parking lot and run in the direction of your house, not stopping.
you reach your house and lock the door behind you, resting your back against the door and sinking to the floor. your legs burn and your head is throbbing. you control your breathing and wipe the sweat away from your face.
someone knocks on the door and you ignore them. they pound their fist against the oak door again and you roll your eyes, not giving in. after a couple more minutes of nonstop banging against the door, you get up and open it. standing there is your boyfriend, panting, looking at you with a worried look in his eyes.
you let him in and you two sit on the couch in silence. he rests his hand on your thigh and moves his thumb up and down, caressing it gently. it makes you relax a little bit, but your mind is still on that rumor. Ethan notices you tense up and leans closer to you.
"why are you worrying about that stupid rumor, y/n?"
"it just bothers me that people think i would do that. why doesn't it bother you?"
he takes your hand and looks into your eyes "rumors are started by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots."
you let what he said soak in and wrap your arms around his neck, pulling him into a hug. his arms wrap around your waist and hugs you back tightly. you pull away and he smashes his lips on yours. you kiss back immediately.
"thank you. i needed that" you whisper
he smiles "anything for you, y/n"
you kiss his lips again and spend the rest of the night cuddling.
