Summer Love

Chapter 41

*Listen to the song while reading this chapter. I love this song and I was listening to it while I wrote this chapter. Also if you haven't and need a good show to watch that will last a while Supernatural is what you need.*

After dinner Ethan went up to my room and laid on my bed.

"Ethan, I know Erza is a bad friend but she is the only really good friend I have. I have some small friends that I talk to once and a while but she is the one that I talk to all the time. if I was to loose her as a friend it is going to be WW3 because it is going to end in a fight. If that happens I don't know how I would be able to recover from it." I say on the verge of tears

I knew that Ethan was right. Erza was a bad friend but she was my only close friend. I have another friend named Aubrey. I met her last year in my French class and we clicked right away. We had a good amount of things in common unlike Erza and I. The problem was that Erza didn't like Aubrey because she thought she was annoying and that she was stealing me away from her. Erza and me got into a fight about it but quickly made up and I told her I would only talk to Aubrey when it was class.

"Ri. If anything happens I will be by your side. Erza can't do anything to get me to stop being with you. I love you too much to let her stop me." Ethan said wrapping his arms around me. I climb into Ethan's lap and wrap my arms around his neck putting my head on his chest.

I was sobbing and there was no way to stop it. My anxiety was getting the best of me and I couldn't stop it. I could hear Ethan whispering in my ear about calming down and I slowly was but I was still crying.

"Carry on my wayward son." Ethan began to sing.

I wrapped my arms tighter around Ethan's neck and buried my head into his chest even more. I could smell the pine wood smell that always radiated off of him. It was slowly calming me down more and more.

"There'll be peace when you are done."

I felt Ethan pick me up while I had my legs around his waist. He then lays me down on the bed where I guessed he pulled back the blankets.

"Lay your weary head to rest."

He tried to pull away and he succeeded a little bit but I opened my eyes and grab his arm. I gave him this look that I wanted him to stay. I didn't care what my parents say and I didn't care what Ethan's mom says I just needed him with me like he always was. He nodded and I moved over to give him room. I cuddled up to while he wrapped his arm around me pulling me close. I closed my eyes and let the beat of his heart sooth me to start sleeping.

"Don't you cry no more."

*******time skip

I woke up to the sound of a lawnmower going strong outside. I guess my dad is cutting the grass. I look to my clock on the dresser across my bed. 9:55am. Shit. I pop up from my bed and in the process I let Ethan's arm smack on his head. He jumps up while cursing under his breath. I giggle and cover my mouth so he can't hear me. He does through and wraps his arms around me and pulls me back on the bed. He starts tickling my sides making me laugh really hard.

"Ethan, s-stop, Wy-yatt is s-sleeping." He stops and kisses me on the cheek.

"Ethan, we have an hour and five minutes until we have to be at the mall." Ethan jumps out of the bed and I follow.

"Riley I am going to go home and get ready meet on your front porch in twenty minutes."

I nod and he runs down the stairs and to the kitchen to go home. I run to my dresser and put on a pair of jean shorts.  I then put on my black Riverdale serpent shirt on and tuck the ends into my short. I then put the top half of my hair into a pony tail making my hair look a lot longer then it is. I put my glasses on and run spray some axe body spray. I run the stairs and to the basement to brush my teeth.

Once I finish I run back to my room so I can get my knapsack that has a bunch of pins on it and stuff my wallet in it. I run down the stairs with my knapsack and phone. I meet my mom in the kitchen.

"So Ethan spent the night?" She asked.

"I didn't mean him to we kind of fell asleep out of no where and never woke up to get Ethan to go home." I explained to her.

"I know. Dad wanted to wake him up and get him to leave right away because he was cuddled up against you but I just turned on your night light and shut the main light off and closed your door. Also, here is thirty bucks for lunch for you and Ethan. Keep the change." My mom handed me thirty dollars and I stuffed it in my wallet.

I looked at the time on the stove. 10:29am. We had time. It would take twenty minutes to get to the mall so if we leave now we would get there on time if we drove. Wait.

"Mom how are we going to get there? You guys are busy today and the bus will take an hour to get there because we have to take two."

"Can Ethan drive?" My mom asked. I shrugged my shoulder. I motioned one moment to my mom and ran outside to the porch. Sure enough Ethan was sitting right there.

"Can you drive?" I ask hopefully. He nodded his head. I ran back inside.

"Yeah, he can drive?" My mom goes over to the rack of keys and takes off my dads keys handing them to me.

"Take dad's keys. Just don't scratch his car and put some gas in it." I nod my head and head out the door. I walk over to Ethan tossing the keys at him. He catches them and looks at me confused.

"My parents can't drive us and we would have to take two buses to get there which takes one hour to do so my mom said that if you are able to that you can drive. We are taking my dad's truck."

"Okay," Ethan says, "You look beautiful." I blush at his words as he wraps an arm around my waist as we start walking to the truck. He opens the door on my side and then walks over to his side and gets in. He turns the car on and the radio starts.

"I love this song." I say as Nothing Else Matters by Metallica blares at a nice soothing volume.

"Why do you like this song?" Ethan said.

"Its called Nothing Else Matters and its by a band called Metallica. Metallica is usually known as a dark heavy metal band this song is nice and slow and I just love the sound of it. My dad taught me about Metallica and ever since I have loved listening to it." I explain looking at Ethan.

"Well I like the song too." Ethan says as he pulls out of the drive way and on to Dickenson Road.
