"Hi Roselyn" Ethan gives me a small smile.
"Hi? Why are you here. Not being rude. But why?"
my eyes shift from Ethan to my dad and back.
"I'll let you two talk" my dad says before walking out into the living room.
"So um" ethan scratches the back of his neck.
"Why are you here?"
He looks back up at me as I lean down on the counter.
"I just heard what happened to you. Or what you tried to do. Are you okay Roselyn?"
Shivers sent down my body. His voice came out so soft and sweet.
"Yeah, I just had a little freak out about something and tried to well, you know."
I fiddle with my fingers as I feel arms wrap around my neck pulling me into a hug. Ethan. I wrap my arms around his torso hugging back gentle. He smelled like cologne. His arms so big around my tiny head. And his body warmer than anything.
He pulls back looking into my eyes. I admire his beautiful hazel ones.
"I'm glad you're okay, well I should get going. I'm not suppose to stay out late."
"Ok I'll walk you to the door" I turn around taking light steps.
"Bye Ethan" I wave as he walks down my drive way.
"Bye Roselyn" he bucks his head back and keeps walking.
I close the door. I feel butterflies in my stomach. Just the fact that he came just to see if I was okay. That definitely wasn't a side of Ethan I've seen. More surprisingly, he knows I exist.
"Goodnight Dad" I say before jogging up the stairs.
Once I'm in my room I decided to take a bath. I walk into my bathroom setting my clothes on the counter. I strip for my clothing looking at myself in the mirror.
Bleh, I truly hated myself.
I step into the warm water, feeling the water against my cold skin felt amazing. I lay my head back taking in every moment.
Ethans POV
I heard what happened about Roselyn. Well I never knew until Kylie told me why her and Noam fought. I felt bad. I knew what it felt like to want to commit suicide or even try it. And I know someone who took their life because of it. Gosh I miss Cam. She was my best friend other than Grayson.
I walk up to Roselyn's house
Wow it's pretty big if you ask me.
I walk up to the door knocking two times before a very tall man in sweats and a white shirt opens the door.
"Can I help you?" He burrows his eyebrows.
"Hi, I'm Ethan, Ethan Dolan. I came to see your daughter Roselyn." I stuck out my hand to shake his. But he just looked at my hand and back to my face.
He leaned against the door
"Are you dating my daughter?"
"No sir, I just heard about what happened and I wanted to see if she was okay. I have my own experience with it. And I've had someone close pass from it. I just wanted to make sure she's ok."
"I'm sorry for your loss." His voice sounds sincere "Are you friends with Roselyn" he crosses his arms
Shit
"I'm not sir."
"Hm" he hums in response.
"Well she's not home yet, so why don't you come in and take a seat and wait til she gets here"
He walks aside so I can step in the house. He closed the door and locks it once I'm fully inside.
"Want something to drink?"
He asks before opening the fridge.
"I'm fine thank you."
I fidget. I feel weird. Just me and her dad which makes things awkward. I'm not really Roselyn's friend and I'm not her boyfriend.
Just then I heard the front door open.
"Dad" Roselyn's voice echoed through the house.
"Over here" he yells back
"Hey whose car is tha-"
"Ethan?"
Her face looks surprised. But I don't blame her.
