Chapter 13

            A month has passed, and Ethan has been improving extremely well. The doctor came two days ago and said Ethan is healing a lot faster than expected. He can even get up and walk on his own now, the physical therapist said he has improved so much that he only needs another week of it then he can do some small stretches and things on his own.

            Ethan is happy, but me, not so much. James got drafted into the Army. He left yesterday, and I am really struggling with it. I keep thinking of all the bad things that could happen. I only express my concern to Audrey and Gray though, I don't want Ethan worrying about me. You're probably wondering, what about Cam? Well she went on a summer trip with her friends and doesn't know when she's going to be back. Right now, its just the four of us. Our parents call every night, they're having a great time, but they don't know when they're going to be home either.

            Tomorrow is the first day of July, I must enjoy it because at the end of August I have to go back to college. I know Ethan wants to be in a relationship with me, Grayson told me this while he was taking a long time to poop in the bathroom one day. Gray said E really likes me, maybe even love and he doesn't want to mess things up. Apparently, he's never felt this way before. The thought of being in a relationship with him makes me lost for words, we've gotten to know each other so well. The thought just makes my heart all warm. The one thing we need to talk about is the whole long-distance thing, he's going to be in Jersey, I will be in LA. I'm not sure how I feel about the whole long-distance relationship thing but I'm sure we will figure things out.

            Last update, Grayson finally grew a pair and asked Audrey to be his girlfriend. They're beyond words happy together. Audrey really needs a boyfriend like him. He treats her like she should be. Audrey is a kind hearted, caring, thoughtful, beautiful girl and she deserves the world. I just want her to have happiness. She has talked to me and isn't entirely sure overall long-distance thing either. She knows they will figure it out though.

            I have been very confused the past two days. Ethan and Grayson have been acting so weird. Since Ethan can walk on his own now he has been staying in his room. There have been a few times I walk in there with Audrey and Gray is helping Ethan type something on the computer while Ethan is on the phone, as soon as I enter the room they both stop talking and yell at me to get out. I want to talk to Ethan about it but maybe I just need to give him privacy, or at least that's what I keep telling myself. Maybe he has gotten to know me so much that I am a boring person to him. This thought haunted me. I decided to text Audrey, I needed to talk to the person that knows me the best. I've been thinking as much as it would hurt me, maybe moving back to LA a little early before college starts would be a good thing. It has been almost a month and a half and Ethan still hasn't taken me on that date. I just give up. I texted Audrey and told her to meet me at the little café. We sat down, and I told her my idea. She seemed like she wanted to tell me something, but she never did.

            "Do what you think you should do," Audrey said.

            "It just feels like Ethan has been so distant lately, he is always in his room talking on the phone and pushes me out whenever I go up there. It's like he is keeping some huge secret from me." I told her with tears brimming my eyes. "I just thought we were going to be something."

            She gave me the "I really want to tell you something, but I swore I wouldn't look."

            "I know what I am going to do," I said.

            "I will support whatever decision you make." Audrey said holding my hand comforting me.

Audrey's POV

            I can't tell her. Ethan has been planning this huge vacation to Costa Rica for just the two of them. I wanted to tell her so bad, but Ethan told me no matter what I couldn't say a word. On the vacation he is or was going to ask her to be his girlfriend. I don't know what to do. I tried calling Ethan but there was no answer, same with Grayson. Then I looked at my text to see Grayson texted me.

            Grayson: Hey babe, Ethan and I are going camping, so I will be out of service for tonight. Love you!
