Summer Love

chapter 43

"I'm not in love with a teacher." I muttered with my head down.

This was a problem that started half way through grade 9. I trusted this teacher to help me with everything. School work, anxiety problems, and just everything. A lot of the other girls my age got jealous and were mad at me. Erza was one of them. She went around telling people that I was dating the teacher. It didn't spread far but some people knew about the rumor and made fun of me.

"That's not what everyone else knows." Erza replied with a smirk.

"THAT'S IT!" Ethan said banging his fist on the table. We all looked at him with our eyes wide.

"Erza your a bitch. You know Riley has anxiety issues and you use that against her. You are controlling and rude. Ever since you called her last night being very rude, yea I was there when you guys were on the phone, you have been the worst to her. I don't get it. What are you gaining from this?" Ethan said.

"Shut up you virgin ass piece of trash. You don't know her. You don't know how awful she can be. She calls me stupid and that I will get no where in life. She thinks she is better than me because of her smartness but what she doesn't know is that that does not get you anywhere in the future. It's not all about the fact that she takes academic math. It's about being able to fight for yourself when people beat you down. That's what life is about, survival." Erza fought back.

I could tell Ethan was done. Her arguement was stupid. Yes it is not all about smarts but that plays a role and what you do for a job which in the end helps you survive.

Ethan got up bringing the tray of our finished food to the garbage. He came back grabbing my hand and pulling me with him to the truck. He opened the car door and let me in before closing the door and walking over to his side. I looked at him and reached over to cup his face.

" I love you Ethan." I connected my lips to his and slowly moved with his. I bite his lip softly making him moan at the back of his throat.

He pulls away, his breathing heavy.

"Riley you can't do that. I'm not going to be able to control myself and I don't want to regret anything." he gasps.

I smile and grab his hand, intertwing our fingers as he pulls out of the parking lot.

When we got to my house we saw my parents sitting on the porch. I could see smoke coming from where they were sitting and I sighed. They were smoking.

My parents started smoking again in may. They quite before I was concieved and since then they haven't thought about smoking. All of a sudden they decided that smoking needed to come back into there lives because it relaxed them. I freaked out on them telling them that you can't just do that. They called me a freak and told me I need help. Great parents right.

Ethan turned to me and gave me a look.

"What's wrong Ri?"

"My parents. They're smoking. I forgot that they did that. When I talked to them about it last they called me a freak. I don't want to talk to them right now Ethan."

He nodded and got out of the car. He came to my side and let me out grabbing my hand in the process. We walked towards the porch towards the door.

"Riley, Wyatt went to Sterling's house. Find somewhere to go. Mom and I want the house to our selves." My dad said when he saw us near the porch while my mom was 'secretly' hiding the smokes. Sex. They wanted to have sex. They knew that the walls in the house were thin and they didn't want me home.

"You had a whole week to screw each other and you choose now when your kids come back and just want to be home. You guys are the worst. So to pay back I am going to Ethan's house. A boy's house dad. You can't stop me!" I angrily replied. I ran into the house Ethan hot on my trail.

I pack my bag with clothes, my phone charger abd sone other things. I put it on my shoudler and turned to Ethan who was standing at the door leaning on the frame.

"Why do they want you gone Riley?" He asks.

I sigh. "They want sex. For some reason now that my brother and I are older they feel the need to be closer and let my brother and I here it. My brother and I heard them one time and we were disgusted and angry. My parents told us to shut up because we are going to be the same when we get older and that its not gross. I told them I was asexual and I thought it was gross. My mom told me that asexual is not a think and that I will want to have sex with everyone soon."

I look done with tears in my eyes. "I don't want to stay here anymore right now. Please don't go back to camp. I can't do this alone Ethan."

He brought one of his arms around my waist and the other came to my chin lifting it up so he can look at my face.

"Babe, lets not worry about that right now. Pack more clothes. Pack as much as you want. You can live at my house for a while." he said calmly.

I nod and pack more stuff. Once I was finished we made our way to the front door and past my parents.

"Why did you pack so much? Your staying only for tonight!" My dad angrily said.

"I'm not coming back for a bit." I say. "I thought I would be hapoy to come back home and see you guys but I can't wait to go back to camp and leave again." I walk up to Ethan, grabbing his hand and making our way to his house on foot
