Away

Ethan's P.O.V

I can't be around Lidia and Derek right now. I need a break. I'm still processing  what Derek had told me.  he and Vince talks about me and since when does he know Vince. Even though they both attend the school I've never seen Derek and Vince talking. My Aunt Crystal has a cabin In the woods where she said we could visit anytime.

I guess this is the right time even though the school week will soon start but guess what, I don't care, I can't stand to see Derek pass me without saying a word. Even though I'm afraid of the Dark I'm sure I can stay a night or two. I'm not going to tell anybody though except my mom.

--Conversation Over the Phone--

Me: " Hi mom, what's going on? " I asked weakly

Mom: " I should be asking you that question?" she preached.

Me: " It's nothing to worry about, I was just asking if I could spend the A week at aunt Crystal's cabin?"

Mom: "Why?"

Me: "I need some air away from society" I squirmed

Mom: " O.K, You need a break, I've been warning you about overworking yourself, have you fainted lately" she asked with a concerned voice.

Me: " Couple times, but I take my meds everyday." I teased knowing that she was going to ask me if I took them.

Mom: " bye hunny I love you, be safe on the road."

Me: " I will".

I started to pack my stuff when a message came in from Derek. I just ignored it and continued packing. Probably just one of his Insults. I carried the duffle bag to the car and sped off to spend the rest of the day and next week in the woods, Nature's best friend.

I turned my phone off. I don't want Lidia or Derek calling me. The cabin was approximately three hours away, so I stopped at a gas station and went into the store to pick up some food for the road and to eat while staying there. I filled the gas tank and continued my journey not even stopping to use the restroom.

* Two Hours later*

I arrived at the cabin a few minutes early. Lets just say I had to put the pedal to the metal to get here. That's Strange, the lights were on. I knocked at the door carrying my bag of groceries. I knocked at the door. A couple minutes later, my younger cousin Brent opened the door to let me in. he was tall, short Dark, curly haired, Hazel eyes, a mole on his lower lip.

" Hey Brent what are you doing here?" I questioned

" I spend my weekend here all the time"

" Can I crash here for a week or two?" I smirked.

"Yeah sure" he smiled.

" So, What are you doing here?. shouldn't you be in school this week?" he asked me

"Yeah, but I feel kinda stressed right now so I decided to take little break from the whole school thing.."

I went upstairs to the room i always took every time I came here with my parents room and laid there. Brent came to check up on me multiple times already. I switched my phone back on to listen to some music when I regretted it.

Lidia calls me---

Lidia: "Where are you?, I'm standing at you door."                          

""Go home Lidia, I am far far away from you."

"But why?, is it because of what I did to Derek earlier?." She asked sounding hurt

"No Lidia, It's not that, I just need some space, not from you but from everybody" I said trying not to offend her.

"I know the feeling" she answers

"Could you tell me where you are lil E"  she still doesn't forget that name. Smh.

"Let's just say I'm away"
