Her Secret Story

Chapter Four - Sent Away

After I washed my face, brushed my teeth and hair, and got dressed into something comfortable, I rushed downstairs.

I had a look around the kitchen to see the guy and my mother sitting at the dining table, eating breakfast. What? He knew my mum? Mum knew him? Who was this guy? The suspicion was killing me!

Maybe he was someone from the hospital? And he just recently got out? Was he here to live with us? What?!

I dragged out a chair away from two, and sat down starring curiously at them. They knew I was very confused, probably was too easy to guess, and they started laughing. I narrowed my eyes and looked toward my plate which my mother had just placed in front of me.

"Eat up, hunny." She said, smiling carefreely.

"I don't think I'll be able to eat until I know what's going on.. plus, did HE make the food or you?" I said, looking up right at her with a serious face on.

"HE? Wow, you must already dislike me. Don't even call me by my name." The guy replied to the question I was clearly not asking him.

"For starters, I certainly was not speaking to you, and second, I don't even KNOW your name for me to call you by it. Please, do not bother to introduce yourself as I would much prefer to hear this from someone who is not a complete inbicel. Mother, please." I glared at the boy once more before returning my gaze to my mum.

"Honey! Don't be so rude! I know you must be confused and all but I promise this male isn't here to kill you or kidnap you!" She replied, pointing to my food, indicating that I need to eat before the pancakes get cold and I start complaining, like always.

"Well, actually, about the kidnapping.. I'm not exactly going to kidnap you, but it's close to it." The male blurted out, smirking.

"WHAT?! WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT? MUM, WHAT IS HAPPENING AND WHY AM I SO CONFUSED AND WHY IS THERE A JERK ON OUR TABLE OR INFACT IN OUR HOUSE--" I was not able to finish my rant because just before I could finish the world 'house', suddenly the impossible happened and a flying pancake landed onto my face.

I immediately screamed. I was going to kill this boy. I didn't care who he was. He was going to die. It was the end of the world for him.

I removed the pancake off my precious face and picked up a knife from the table, glaring at Mr. 'I think I'm so cool that I can make flying pancakes possible just to shut up a girl whose house I invaded', who was laughing incredibly loud.

"ENOUGH! Ellie, sit down and calm down! Ethan, stop laughing, commenting and rudely interrupting!" My mother shouted at us both as I stood up ready to stab 'Ethan' with the knife.

"Ethan? Since when did we know a guy called Ethan? Plus, I've always thought 'Ethans' were nice, calm and gentle. Books are so much better than reality." I flicked my hair and begin to eat my pancakes. "Now, explain before I REALLY use this knife." I let out, with food stuffed in my mouth.

"Didn't your mother teach you not to eat with your mouth full? Such a rude, young, lady. Tsk, tsk." 'Ethan' commented, but I controlled my temper and decided not to retort.

My mother sighed, and put her cutlery down onto her empty plate. Wow Mum, quick eater.

"Ethan is going to be taking you to your father." She said, not even looking at me once.

My only reaction was to spit out the mouth full of pancake onto 'Ethans' face.

"Ew! What the hell man!? How did Henry's genes create such a freak?!" Ethan shouted, wiping off the food from his face. It was only then that I had noticed his accent. He was from the United States from my guessing.

Another bully, great.. I looked at my mother, frowning. "Do I really have to go on a trip with a monster to meet and live with another monster?"

Mum smirked, then regained her mature state. "I can assure you they're both not monsters. Anyways, when you finish your breakfast, go upstairs and pack. Everything. You're going to be on a very long flight."

"4 days to be exact." Ethan added, just have finished washing his face from the food.

"4 days?! What the heck? Where are we going to, Antarctica? And 4 days on a plane with ETHAN?! Hey.. be right back.. I just need to kill myself right now." I smiled as I brang the knife to my neck.

Ethan reached forward and removed the knife from my hands. "Dude, just don't spit food on me ever again and we're cool. And truth is, you're going to be living with me, unfortunately. I'm not happy about this either but, welcome to your stepbrother, ayyyy!" He said sarcastically, patting my head.

"Dad's married..?" I looked at my mother, and she frowned.

"Well yes. But it's okay. I'm sure she's lovely. And she'll be your mother until I can get better. Plus, your father lives in America! Exciting, right? A brand new life!" She smiled, trying to reassure me that everything will be fine.

I stood up, and walked away from them both. Well, more like sprinted. To my room. To cry. Again.

So...?

What do you think so far? It's probably really boring, or barely interesting but it'll get better!

I bet you guys thought Ethan was going to be some guy she fell in love with and a new cliché story, hell no!
