I woke up in a room, I looked around and Ethan was sleeping in an auburn chair. Im in the hospital...again.
I sat up and whined from the pain. "Don't move" Ethan said staring at me. "Lay down and get some rest"
I was mad at him, I was supposed to be...but I wasn't. I decided not to talk to him, just to give him a taste of how I felt about him kissing Tessa. Even though I couldn't remember anything when I passed out, I could remember everything before I passed out.
"You scared me, Bailey" Ethan said reaching over and holding my hand. "I thought I lost you" he said rubbing my hand with his thumb.
I pulled away from his grip and turned over on my side, facing away from him. I wasn't about to cry, I wasn't about to show him how I really felt. Plus I thought I already had too many breakdowns in front of him.
"I just want you to know...I'll be here when you need me. I'll be outside" he kissed my forehead.
I closed my eyes and a few seconds later I heard the door shut. He slipped out of my fingertips so easily. I let out a heavy deep sigh, just as I did my mom came in( remember this is my adoptive mother)
"Bailey" she cried. "I'm so sorry this happened to you" she said holding my hands in hers.
I nodded and turned back on my side. Right now I didn't want to be bothered with anyone.
She giggled. "That boy..Ethan is it?" She asked. "He seems to care a lot about you." She said taking a seat.
"You know...it's not everyday you find a boy who accepts you for the real you. He stayed here for 3 days waiting for you to wake up, Bailey" she said. "I've seen you go through so many things Bailey, many, and I've been there for you for 12 years and sometimes I still don't understand you...but that boy. That boy is the reason you are here today. He told me what had happened and he's terrified that you won't forgive him."
I laid in the bed not saying a word, just absorbing what she had said. I cared about Ethan just as much as he cared about me, and I was throwing it all away.
"I know you don't really like me, Bailey, but don't just hear me..listen" she said clutching her purse to her arm. Just as she walked out, Ethan came back in with a tray of the cafeteria food. He sat it on my bedside table and sat back down in the auburn chair.
Moments of awkward silence passed. Until he broke the silence.
"Bailey, just let me exp-"
"There's nothing to explain Ethan, other than the fact you and her were kissing." I said, sitting up.
"She pulled me in, I swear! I would never do that to you!"
"Yeah, I bet" I rolled my eyes, playing with my sandwich on the tray .
"Why can't you just believe me?" He clenched his jaw.
"Why can't you just leave me alone?" I scoffed.
"For a quiet girl, you sure are an asshole" he said grabbing his stuff
"Suck a dick" I said throwing my orange at his head, luckily he ducked just in time.
"I can't believe this. I sat here for three days to get treated like this"
"Nobody asked you to come, now did they?" I crossed my arms.
"You know what? I'm done. I'm done!" He held his hands up. "This isn't working out. I've did all that I could do for you, but it's never enough, is it?"
"It is enough"
He pierced his lips together and continued getting the rest of his stuff. "Maybe, your right. Maybe it is enough" he said walking out
