Tired

It's been 3 days since my dad "stopped by" & I've barely gotten out of bed. I don't want to. it's too hard.

I'm either watching netflix or on my phone. the good news is, Ethan has been bringing me food while I'm committed to being unsocial. he's the only one I want to see.

I text him & ask him if he's awake, hoping he is seeing that it's already 10am.

he replies with a simple 'yes'. So I ask him if he'll go to chick-fil-a, praying he'll say yes.

"of course I will, babygirl. what do you want?" Ethan texts me & my heart flutters.

I love that he's not pressuring me to get up & 'suck it up' as my dad would say.

He just let's me do me.

I tell E what I want & go back to watching Grey's Anatomy on netflix.

About 45 minutes go by & I hear a quiet knock on my bedroom door. Knowing it's Ethan, because my mom hasn't gotten out of bed either, I tell him to come in.

He walks in with two drinks & a cfa bag with our food. He sits down beside me & I sit up to eat. I pause my show & smile at him.

"Can I talk to you?" Ethan said it so quietly that I asked myself if I was just hearing things.

I dig for my food as I say, "Of course, E. anything." I give him his biscuit.

"Mak... a-are you okay?" He whispers, looking down.

"E." I say.

He looks up at me worriedly.

"I love you. I'm okay. just... down, I guess." I say.

His eyes brighten when I say those three words.

"I love you, too." He tells me & leans over to kiss me. He pecks my lips, & I want more but I leave it at that.

We start eating & Ethan tells me stories about what Gray did this morning. Something about trying to do a backflip off their kitchen counter & spilling his cereal.

I thought it was funny, but apparently not as funny as Ethan did. He rolled over laughing, which made me smile to myself.

After we ate, I cuddled up to him & finished watching my episode of Grey's. E actually watched it too.

"can we do something tomorrow?" Ethan whispers in my ear.

"Like what?" i ask, wondering what he has in mind.

"I don't know. Maybe we could go eat then see a movie, or go to the mall." He suggests.

"Either one is fine with me, as long as I'm with you, I'm happy." I say, knowing I'll sound cheesy.

"you're so cute when you're a cheesy romantic." He remarks, reading my mind, & I blush.

I roll my eyes at him & kiss his arm, which is around my neck.

He kisses my forehead & I later hear him snoring. I smile to myself, then soon fall asleep as well.

hey guys, I'm sorry this chapter was so short. I have a long one planned for the next one, so don't worry! thx for reading btw ;)
