January has arrived which means it is that day of going back to hell again. I let out a loud groan as the annoying sound of my alarm began to ring. I hit the dismiss button on my phone before forcing myself out of bed and walking towards my closet to pick out an outfit for the day.

Afterwards, I put on some makeup before going downstairs into the kitchen. I noticed Dylan at the kitchen table eating a bowl of cereal.

"Where's mom?" I asked him.

"I told her to rest for a bit since she has been working really hard for us" he said.

Then it hits me. It has almost been a month since she told us that she was diagnosed with cancer. Honestly, looking at her makes me feel worried and happy at the same time. She has been kicking cancers ass so far but I'm worried that what if it gets worse soon. I just don't want to loose one of my favorite women of all time.

I grabbed a granola bar to eat before Dylan and I walked out of the house.

We arrived at school and I saw Ethan standing outside with his arms crossed. His eyes widened and smiles big once he saw me walking towards him. My walking changes to running when I began getting closer to him. Once I reached him, I instantly jumped up with my legs wrapped around his waist while my arms snaked around his neck.

"I guess someone is happy to see me" he chuckled as he wrapped his arms around me.

"I am. Its has been a couple days since the last time I saw you" I said.

"You're crazy but I love you" he said before smashing his soft lips into mine.

    I smiled into it as our kiss was getting really intimate. I pulled away when I felt eyes staring at us. Ethan's face turned bright red when he saw everyone staring at us.

   "We should probably go inside" he said.

   "We should" I said giggling.




     "Ethannnn" I whined.

    "Annnaaaaa" he whined back.

    My head was against Ethan's headboard on his bed. Mid terms are next week aka one of the most stressful weeks of school. Ever since my freshman year of high school, I would get anxiety and stress for big tests like mid terms and finals. I would even just pray the night before a big test that I pass and hopefully won't repeat a grade. Luckily, I usually pass but still get those anxieties and stress breakdowns.

   "I need a break" I said looking at Ethan.

   "Anything for you beautiful" he said.

   He scooted over next to me and places his arm around my shoulders. My chest rested onto his chest listening to the beating of his heart. There was a moment of silence until Ethan spoke up.

   "So your birthday is coming up" he said.

    "Yeah. I'm already starting to feel old" I chuckled.

   "You're not old" he said looking down at me.

   "Turning seventeen feels old to me" I said.

    We both laughed at the comments we both made. Ethan is the type of guy who you can talk about anything to him even if I bring up about me being on my period, he wouldn't mind it. I feel like we're both at that level of being comfortable with each other and that's how a relationship should be.

   "What do you want for your birthday?" Ethan asked me.

   "Ethan, you don't have to get me anything for my birthday" I told him.

   "But I have to for my princess" he said.

   I looked up at him giving him a smile before pecking his cheek. He shook his head before leaning in to kiss me until it was interrupted by the sound of his bedroom door opening. I turned around to see Grayson standing in the doorway.

   "Sorry to interrupt, but your brother is here to pick you up Anna" he said.

   I got off of Ethan's bed and grabbed my backpack before heading out of the room with Ethan following behind me. Once we reached the front door, I gave him a peck on the lips and a hug.

   "I'll see you tomorrow beautiful. I love you" he said.

   "I love you too" I said before pulling away from the hug.

   I opened the door and walked out giving Ethan a wave before going into Dylan's car.


    Ethan's POV

  I watched Anna walking out the door and her waving to me. I waved back to her as she got into Dylan's car. Once they drove off, I shut the front door and turned to Grayson who is standing next to me.

    "Bro, your face is red" he said to me.

    I felt my cheeks heat up more when he told me that.

   "I'm just so in love with her man. She's my everything" I responded.

    "You're one lucky guy" Grayson said.

    I only responded with a nod. I still remember the day of when Gray and I fought over Anna which was a really stupid move for us even though we've done it before. He is right as well. I am lucky to have Anna in my life. Without her, I wouldn't have anyone to have study dates or cuddle in bed with. 

   "Hey Gray, can you help me out with something?" I asked him.

   "Anything E, you are my twin brother anyways" he said.

   "Well it's about Anna".



    Hey!

    Haven't updated in awhile and I'm super sorry for that due to school being a bitch to me and what not. But luckily, I will be updating more this weekend and sometime this week. Please bare with me with updating since I have a life as well.

   Much love
