Chapter 9

Jace ended up having to go home that night, leaving me at home alone with my family. I normally just stay inside my room by myself, but Ethan came downstairs and asked me to take him to the park when he got home from school.

I told him I had to change and that I'd be right up. I shut my door and quickly found my cutest jeans and my big blue knit sweater. It covers all my cuts and doesn't rub against them. I grab some socks and my converse.

I walk up the stairs and yell for Ethan, he comes running to me and jumps in my arms.

I wince but pull through the pain.

He's only in kindergarten, he's probably the cutest in his class. Ethan is bleach blond and just the perfect chubby face.

He's the sibling that I'm afraid I'll have to explain my cuts and scars to eventually. He's the baby and the only one I'm close to.

I put on his little fall jacket and shoes. I grab his hand and tell James to watch Cassidy, she's 12, almost 13.

James and Cas are close, she's a tom-boy and they play video games 24/7. They do almost everything together, they don't complain when I take Ethan out.

I lead us to the park that's just down the street, and Ethan gets on the 'big kid' swing and holds on super tight, just like I tell him to.

I push him, since he doesn't know how to pump his legs to go by himself yet.

It's cute, but sometimes I wish I could swing too.

He yells stop, so I stop him so he can get off. He runs to the jungle gym part and starts goofing off.

We're the only two in the park, as every other kid around here has parents who are home, and don't let them go out by themselves and right after school especially.

He calls me over to play with him. We play a war game that he loves, we're always partners and everyone else has to get shot. He likes to 'shoot' people he doesn't know and adults but I have to remind him that they'll most likely get upset if a teenager and a kindergartener are fake shooting them. He usually forgets within ten minutes and starts shooting them again.

It's getting hot out and I really want to roll up my sleeves, but I know Ethan will see and he would definitely tell our parents.

***Next Day***

At school, I meet up with Jace and hang out outside for the twenty-five minutes before school starts. He kisses me.

'I missed not being in your bed last night. I missed you so much.' Jace confessed to me.

I giggle and kiss him.

He looks at me, 'You sure have been giggly lately. I'm kinda getting a bit worried.' Jace smiles at me and kisses my forehead.

I push him playfully, 'No I have not!' Though, I have noticed too and it is actually kinda worrisome.

As if on cue, Chad walks by us. He coughs, fake coughs while he says slut. He called me a slut, and he's the one who has been sleeping around and already has another girl in his arms.

I can tell Jace is getting angrier by the millisecond.

'What did you just say asshole? Did you just do the pathetic coughing shit? Wow. What the hell are we, a two year old manwhore? Jesus fuck.' Jace says, getting in Chads face. His new girlfriend looks scared out of her mind.
