Chapter 22 : Day 4 (Part II )

“I care” he says, his eyes burning into mine. As he sees my smile disappear he looks away.

I am more confused than ever. I couldn’t help but ask “Why?”

He lets out a sigh pushes himself up from the bed and walks towards the door. I just look at him not daring to say anything else. He opens my bedroom door and takes a step outside. Before he could leave I call for him.

“Ethan?”

He turns around and looks at me with a sad smile “I guess I’ll spare the details.” He says and slightly shuts the door behind him as he leaves.

What just happened? He likes me? I thought after I tell him about everything he’ll not think of me in that way. This is all my fault. I led him on, I gave him false hopes, I am the reason why he is hurting. My mouth falls open after realizing what I have got him into. It’s all cause of me. Me and my stupid little game. I never thought it would affect him in this way. I could see the pain and hurt in his eyes before he left. It was way beyond what I once felt for Eric. I was selfish and I messed up my best friend’s life where as Ethan, so selfless. He let me use him as a piece in this shitty plan of mine. He didn’t even complain for once. I don’t even deserve his friendship when he is willing to give me his love.

What has gotten into me? What have I done! This situation so fucked up.

I feel like going to Ron and telling him about everything this instant, but my big fat ego is not allowing me to do so.

I sit on my bed, holding my knees close to my chest. I bury my face between my knees and try so hard not to cry. I can’t do this always. I can’t cry my way out of every situation. That is what I have been doing since so long.

Who would have known a little bird brain of a girl named Emily Robertson can fuck up so many lives around her, Donna, Ron and now Ethan. My life is now turning out to be like a cliché chick flick movie. Where the girl messes shit up and then magically solves everything. But how do I solve this mess? I can’t make someone unlike me. I can’t erase someone’s feelings for me. I mean, I would if I could. But I can’t. If this was a movie I would just wave my wand and everything would go back to normal.

It’s not even funny how much this hurts. How much it hurts to know you’re the root of a big tree filled with messed up lives of others.

Every rose has its thorn and I guess I am the thorn in everyone’s life around me. What do you do when the thorn pricks you? You cut it. But these people didn’t do that. They still love me and I don’t know why. Why?

“Hey.” Donna says as she sits down next to me.

“Hey.” I say and try to smile at her, but I just couldn’t.

“Em, I’m sorry but I overheard your conversation with Ethan.” She says and holds my hand.

“I’m sorry I caused this mess.” I say giving her hand a squeeze. She then pulls me into a hug and pats my back “Everything is going to be alright, alright?” she says and I just nod.

She pulls back, holds me by my shoulders. “I think it’s time for the finale Emily.” I look into her eyes and she blinks in a way asking me to trust her, assuring me everything will be okay. I nod again. She pulls me back in to a hug again.

“Em?”

“Hmm”

“I’ll always be by your side.”

Why?”  

“Because that is what sisters do.”

I hug her tighter not wanting to let her go ever. I have always longed for my parent’s love. And she and Alex are the only ones close to my family for me. not even close, they are my only family. This is what I wanted from my mother but I guess it’s just not in my fate.

“I’ll call Alex.”  She says and pulls back. I didn’t want her to go, but I let her. She takes her phone and leaves.

Donna calls Alex and she said she’ll be here in 10. We decide to watch tv while waiting for her.

After almost 40 minutes my bedroom door suddenly opens which startles both Donna and me.

“Still keep the keys in the flower pot” Alex says laughing. She is most definitely enjoying our startled expressions.

“You bitch.” Donna throws a pillow at Alex.

“Hold it idiot. You don’t want to spill the drinks.” Alex says holding two huge bags in front of us. “ps. We’re going to a party tonight. We leave by 11” she says grinning at us.

“A party?” me and Donna say in at the same moment.

“Yes, you know a place where people dance and drink and enjoy and there’s music and stuff.” 

“We know what a party is, Al” I say rolling my eyes at her.

“Y’all didn’t act like you did.” She says and keeps both the bags on my study table. “It’s just 6:30 so we have a hell lot of time to spare. I brought Coke, Ben&Jerry’s and Pringles. Dig in bitches.” She says looking at us wiggling her eye brows at us.

11pm.

After a nice pillow fight and stuffing ourselves with tons of ice-cream, coke and chips. We picked out dresses for the party. Alex brought her dress along with her, I let Donna borrow one of my dresses. Alex says we need to look hot, as it is Joshua Spencer’s party. He is one of the most popular and richest people in our school and this is like the biggest bash of the senior year. And ‘everybody’ is going to be there. From the geeks to the hotties.

Alex is wearing a red dress which completely shows off her back and has a deep neck. The dress reaches her mid thighs. She has gone for a wavy look for her hair. For her make-up she has gone for a smoky look. She is wearing black shimmery high heels. She has added a thin golden belt to the dress which looks hot!

Donna has picked my hot pink balloon dress. It is a tube dress with black sequence work and the back is deep. Donna pulled it off just right. She has gone for a nude look for her make-up and tied her hair in a classic bun. She is wearing my black wedges which go perfectly with the dress.

I have gone for a less brighter colour. I am wearing an ocean blue high low dress with silver sequence on top. it is simple, but elegant. I have straightened my hair. Donna offered to do my make-up. She has given my eyes a dark black smoky look with contradicts my dress in a good way and a light pink lip gloss. I decided to wear my silver Steven Maden. And we were ready to go.

“Show time bitches.” Says Alex quickly taking a selfie with us and uploading it to Instagram with the caption “Here we come Joshua xoxo.”

This is going to be a fun night.   

I hope.
