A month later
Ethan's P.O.V
It's 7:05 In the morning, i reached my hand over and felt alaya's cold body. I rubbed her back gently and she rolled over wrapping her arms around me like a koala cub, I let my hand get lost in her hair I felt her chest move up and down as she let out soft slow breaths, she stayed like that for a moment until we heard the doorbell ring
" why" she said in her raspy sleepy voice.
" I'll go check who it is" I said as she released her grip on me. I sat at the end of the bed grabbing my sweatpants off the floor and putting them on, I heard alaya get up out of bed and put her silk robe on
" I'm coming with" she said as she stretched. I got up off the bed and we both headed downstairs to the front door. When we reached the door there was a black silhouette with long hair. I gently placed my hand on the door handle and opened the door. When I opened the door I was shocked to see alaya's aunt standing on my front porch, when alaya saw it was her she grabbed onto my back and stood behind me.
" no need to hide ladybug" her aunt said and alaya's head shot up pushing me to the side as she stood face to face with her aunt that she hated so much, I grabbed ahold of alaya's waist and she pushed my hand off
" don't ever fucking call me that again. You're not aloud to you self centered bitch" alaya spat at her, her aunt moved closer to her face as she tried to rest her hand on alaya's shoulder, just then alaya's hand met her aunt face and she fell to the ground, her aunt looked up at alaya hovering over her holding her cheek.
" I don't know how you found me or why but never come here again or it will be much worse" alaya screamed. I started hearing footsteps running down the stairs, my mom dad and Grayson all rushed to our sides, my dad pulled alaya back and she crashed into my arms, my mom and dad both started yelling at her aunt as Grayson and me both walked with our arms around alaya, mine around her waist and Grayson's around her shoulder, we walked over to the couch and sat down, she couldn't stop shaking her leg, her eyes met mine then Grayson's.
" I'm sorry" she spoke as my parents slammed the front door shut
" don't you ever be sorry alaya, never in your life be sorry for what you have to do to get your point across. You won't be seeing or hearing anything front that woman again" my mother spoke as she fixed her hair alaya looked down staying quiet. I picked her head up gently placing my lips on hers. After a few seconds her lips left mine and she looked at Grayson
" I found a nickname gray" she said smiling, Grayson looked up from his phone locking eyes with her
" let's here it" my parents and Grayson said in sync
" ladybug" she said looking at all of them
" ladybug is what my old teachers used to call me, they took care of me the best and I was always so happy at school, and now you all take the best care of me and I couldn't be happier" she said, I look over at my parents and I saw tears slipping from their eyes
" ladybug" my mom said " small and beautiful but also strong and free" she continued, alaya got up walking over to my mom giving her a hug, alaya's head rested on her chest while my mothers arms wrapped around her, she placed a kiss on the top of her head, my dad joined in on the hug and so did me and Grayson
" family never gets left behind" Grayson said causing a smile appear on my face
" I love my family" alaya said, my mom and dads grip tightened
" and we love you" they said.... after a couple of minutes everyone let go except for alaya's grip on me, I rubbed her back as she sparked up a conversation with my parents about when me and gray were kids. Laughter filled the whole house and I couldn't be happier
" yea Ethan slid down ice naked, and a chunk of ice cut his whole buttcheek" my dad said and I busted out laughing
" HE HAD 2 ASSCRACKS IT WAS SO BAD" Grayson yelled from the couch, everyone was laughing so hard tears came out of their eyes
" Ohana"
