Dead rose 🥀 || E.D

Six

I woke up without alaya laying on my lap, I rubbed my eyes and grabbed my phone out of my pocket to check the time. It was 4:50 am, I had so many texts from Grayson and missed calls from my parents.
Shit
I get up and turn towards the stairs, I look up and see a light on " maybe she's still awake" I thought to myself as I quietly walk up the stairs, I see the outline of her body under the covers, I smile slightly and walk over to the bed side to turn the light off, I look over and see her drawing pad open next to her, I pick it up and sit gently on the edge of the bed flipping through the book, there was pictures drawn of people hugging, hold hands, there was a bunch of beach pictures, I flip to the end of the book and I see a picture in the making, I look up at the corner and it says " pretty boy ❤️" I look back at her and smile,
" youre one hell of an adventure" I say as I lay the book back down, when I get up and turn the light off I feel my pocket vibrate. I pull out my phone and see it's my mom, I move quickly to the balcony and open the door gently,
Hello
ETHAN GRANT DOLAN WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN
Mom calm down I'm okay, there was this new girl at school today and we were paired up for a project, I came over to her place to work on it and I ended up falling asleep, I'm sorry
" god Ethan you can't do that we have been worried sick about you. Come home tomorrow I love you"
I love you too mom
I hang up the phone and look at the scenery from Alayas balcony I turn back around and see alaya standing at the door, her hair was all over the place and she looked so tired. I open the door
" Jesus you scared me"  I said as I walked inside. She laughed lightly and sat back down on the bed
" sorry I know I'm ugly" my eyes shot up and I grabbed her arm, she looked up at me and I got down on my knees in front of her, I cupped her cheeks in my hands and she rested her head on them
" don't you ever say you're ugly again, cause you're not. You're beautiful alaya" she looked down and a tear started falling from her face,
" hey what's wrong" say as I wipe the tears away with my thumbs,
" Ethan I don't know why or how but I'm already falling for you, and that scares me because I'm a bad person and I don't want to drag you into it with me" she said as she looked me deep in the eyes, I felt my heart start beating faster as I sat there with her head in my hands.
" I like you too alaya, you're different, and I like that whatever shit you drag me into I'll go through it strong cause I got you" I said and I looked at her lips then back to her eyes,
" Eth-
Before I knew it I crashed my lips into hers, it takes her a minute to kiss back but when she does I feel my whole world at the edge of my lips, she pulls back and smiles
" we need to wait okay, we just met and remember about me keeping my reputation, I can't be going all soft" she says as she hugs me
" do whatever you have to do alaya, I'm gonna be right by your side through it all" I said placing a kiss on her cheek, she let go and crawled back up to bed, she told me to come lay next to her, I took off my shirt and got under the covers with her she wrapped the blanket around us and soon enough I felt my eye lids get heavy as I start to fall asleep with her in my arms.
