Ethan and I were at the dinner table with my mom and dad. I was playing with my food while Ethan and my dad talked about football. My mom and I were bored out of our minds. My dad looks at me while I play with my food.

"So how's school going?" He asked.

I shrug my shoulders. "It's okay."

"How's it going for you Ethan?"

Ethan shrugs his shoulders too. "Better than it was before I guess, Kendall's tutoring really helped me."

"How did you go in the exam?" My mom asked.

"I passed." He smiles. "All thanks to Kendall."

I smile at him as I continue to eat dinner. And when we were done we did dishes and my parents went to bed. Ethan and I went up to my room and we laid there in boredom.

"What now?" I ask.

"I wanna go for a drive."

"Luckily we have a car." I laugh sarcastically.

"Should we go get Grayson's?"

I shake my head. "No way."

"Why? He always lets me take it."

I scratch my lip and I sigh. "Well if you want."

"Yeah I do want." He laughs getting up.

Ethan and I left my house and we were walking in the dark. Ethan said that his house wasn't so far. It was nice though, the stars were out and the moon was shining bright over us. When we reach Ethan's street he asked if I wanted to come in or wait outside. And I didn't mind really.

"I don't think my moms home so it won't be so awkward." He laughed.

He opened the door and his house was huge. And I mean really huge. Grayson was on the couch watching tv.

"What are you guys doing?" He asked.

"Can I borrow your car?"

Grayson stood up. "We have company, E."

Ethan looked at him confused. And a man walked out of the kitchen with a beer in his hand.

"What are you doing home?" E asked.

"I told you I would be back." He smiled. "Are you going to give your father a hug?"

Ethan shook his head. "What father?"

His dad looked at him sadly and his attention was drawn to me. "You are?" He smiled.

"I'm Kendall." I say shaking his hand.

"Nice to meet you Kendall, are you Ethan's girlfriend?"

Ethan scoffed and grabbed the keys from the coffee table. "You would know if you were around."

Ethan's dad looked over at Grayson and Grayson looked to the ground. Ethan handed me the keys and told me to wait in the car.

Ethan's P.O.V

"Son, don't be like this."

"Don't fucking call me that." I spit looking him up and down.

"Ethan, it's okay." Grayson said standing up.

"Is this how you treat family Ethan?"

"You're not part of the family anymore." I whisper. "Where have you fucking been?"

"I've been making money and giving you a roof over your head."

I laugh coldly. "Do you understand how much pain you put us through? How much you put mom through?"

He looked at the ground and shook his head. "She knows why I had to leave."

"We didn't." I say. "We waited everyday for eight months waiting for you to get back. Or if you were even going to come back. Cameron called every night for months asking if you were home but then gave up."

"She seems like a nice girl." He said looking at the door. "Has your mom met her?" He asked ignoring everything I said

"Not yet." I say. "I'm going. If you're going to leave again make sure you leave the house key here." With that I left the house and I jumped into the car.

Kendall sat with her hands underneath her thighs as she shivered. I took off my jersey and I gave it to her and started the car turning on the heat. She smiled at me and I smiled back. Wondering what the fuck I did to deserve this beautiful girl.
