The Other One

Mistake

I woke up more tired than ever. I just wanted to go back to sleep but when I dream. I dream of Ethan. I can't handle it. I wanted to answer him so badly but what would I say? Somewhere inside I feel guilty.I decided to get up and go make me coffee. Jasmine already left to school. It was just me by myself. I wanted to just watch television. I turned on the tv and seen nothing but romance. I then headed to Netflix. Horror movies it is. I watched two of them and then I was bored. Soon I checked my phone.
I have all your work so don't worry. It was from Jasmine. I then thanked her. Then I scrolled and Ethan texted me. Let me see you. I deleted the text. I sighed and went upstairs to my room. I got ready. I can't go anywhere so I just put on a muscle shirt and my short shorts. When I got out of my bathroom I nearly had a panic attack. Ethan was in my room sitting on my bed. He looked at me for a while. My heart was beating fast. I didn't want to see him. I then tried to run to my door. He got there before I did. My door slammed. He placed both hands at the sides of my head on the door. He was wearing a black muscle shirt and sweatpants. His breathe was hitting against my face. I looked at him. He looked really pissed off. Tears built up in my eyes. "Ethan please...just go away".
"Why?! Ana! Tell me what's going on?!"
"You know what!" I tried to push him out of my way. But it was no use. He didn't even move an inch. His body towering over mine. "Why haven't you answered my calls?! I had to find out for myself to see if you were ok. I haven't slept. I haven't ate". I seen him start to cry. "Fine then...you seen me. I'm fine. Now go away".
"No Ana...tell me what I did wrong?"
"You should know. Is that what your plan is? You have sex with me. Then you decided to go cheat on me with some girl at the dance. Now you want me back?"
"What are you talking about?!"
"The girl she was outside with you and you walked with her somewhere". I started balling. "That-What you saw was totally different. Ana, I would never hurt you. That was my friend from middle school. She has a girlfriend. I'll prove it to you". He pulled out his phone and showed me pictures of the same girl. She definitely was with another girl. I cupped my hands around my face and went to sit on my bed. I was an idiot! I cried even more now. "You have every right to hate me! I'm so sorry! I thought-I'm so stupid! I'm so sorry Ethan! All the pain I caused you. I don't deserve you". I tried to calm down. I then wiped my tears and snot away. I then hiccuped through my words. "I'll-understand--if you don't-wanna be with me-anymore". I suddenly felt arms around me. Warm protective arms. I got up off the bed and hugged him tight. I soon stopped crying. I felt so tired. I then yawned. Ethan then scooped me up and then placed me on the bed. He then laid next to me. I felt like going to sleep. "I'll understand if you're mad at me".
"I'll get over it. It was a mistake. Just don't ever do that again. If you think something is wrong then tell me. Don't run away and get into an accident". He pulled me closer. "Ana, when I found out. I literally was remembering the day of the accident. Now that I think about it. I caused you to get hurt again". I heard him start to cry. I looked up at him. "No! Don't say that. You didn't do anything. It was-". I would have told him about Liam but I forgot I was suppose to keep that a secret. "It was my fault. You didn't cause any of it". I then kissed him. Our kiss became passionate. I pulled slowly away from him. I then wiped his tears. "Don't cry Ethan. I'm here. I'm safe and that's all that matters". He caressed my cheek and pulled me in for another kiss. I put my hands behind his head. I gripped some of his little curls. I heard a groan escape him. His hands started to travel around my body. I felt to tired to do anything. I stopped his hands. "Ana?" He looked at me confused. "I'm just too tired right now". All of a sudden he wrapped my legs around him. "No...I think you need a punishment". I swallowed hard. Ethan roughly grind his hips. I then moaned. I tried to stop his hips from rolling. He quickly grabbed my hands with one his one hand. I continued to moan feeling him rise between me. He suddenly stopped. I seen him grab something. He still was holding my wrists in his hand. Ethan soon tied my hands to my bed frame. "Ethan!" I struggled to get free. He laughed evilly. "Let me go...". I looked up to see if I could get out.
"No Ana, I'll never let you go". His voice changed. I then looked at him. My heart raced as I seen it wasn't Ethan but Grayson. He leaned down towards me. His eyes lighting up a bright red color. Grayson flashed his fangs at me. "You're mine!"
I woke up gasping and sweating. Ethan jumped up the same time. "Ana? Are you ok?" I seen he was right next to me. I hugged him. "Hey...Hey whats wrong?" I just shook my head. I didn't even realized I fell asleep. "How long have I been asleep?"
"A while now. You feel asleep in my arms. I was kissing you and then you fell asleep".
"I been sleeping a lot lately".
"Ever since the accident?" I nodded. "Are you still tired?" He asked me. I was a bit tired but not as much. "No I'm ok. What about you?"
"A bit". I smiled at him. "It feels nice to have you by my side again. Seeing you smile makes me happy" he said as he squeezed me. "Did you go to school?" He nodded. "I know that you're not going to school all week so I'm gonna stay here". I blushed then I realized.
"Don't you have a game today?" He nodded. "Yeah but I rather stay with you than go to some stupid game". I shook my head. "No I wanna see you play". "Well then we better hurry. My game is in two hours".
"Ethan! Don't you have to like get ready. You know, workout or something?" I got up and changed my clothes in the bathroom. I walked out and he was exercising. "What are you doing?" I said giggling. "I'm getting ready". He dropped to the floor and started doing push ups. "Come over here". I walked over to him. "What?" He then sat up and looked at me. "Lay down on the floor". I was confused but I did anyways. He got over top of me. "Ethan..." I warned him. "I need some motivation". He then winked at me. I blushed. "Well what do you want me to do?"
"Every push up equals a kiss".
"Why that? I should just challenge you to a push up contest. Winner gets to do whatever they want to the other person".
"Deal" He said. I rolled out from underneath him.
"And don't try to even make me win or cheat". He started laughing. "Ok ready, set...go!" We started doing push ups. I was on thirty. My arms started to get weak. I tried to continue but soon my legs started shaking and so were my arms. I could feel my stomach crumble. I then gave up falling to the floor. I looked up and still seen Ethan go right at it. I didn't even know what number he was on. "Alright...you can stop now...I lost" I said out of breath. He ignored me and still kept pushing. I then tried to stop him by laying on his back. He kept going even when I was on his back. "Ethan!" In a flash I was rolled over and I was underneath him. I could feel his body heat. Sweat was coming out from the sides of his wings. His forehead was drenched. His chest rose and fell quickly. "There I'm ready" he said. "Are you sure?" I said as I raised my eyebrow.
"Well....". He then kissed me. I felt his sweat on my face. "Ethan..." I warned him. "Last time I checked the winner could do whatever he wanted to the other person. Besides haven't I been through enough. We didn't even finish our game that we started at the dance. I couldn't stop thinking about you". Suddenly I felt guilty. I mean Ethan and I had only been dating for almost a month now. We only did it once. I'm pretty sure that's normal. I just don't want him to not feel as though I'm not making him happy. "Ethan can I ask you something?" He got up and he soon helped me up. "Yeah".
"Are you happy with me?"
"What do you mean? Of course I'm happy with you".
"It's just that we only you know, did it once and I feel as though I'm not making you happy".
"Ana is that what you're worried about? You think that I'm not happy because we only had sex once? Ana I'm happy. I'm happy just by being with you. I don't need to have sex with you to prove if I'm happy". I sighed. He then hugged me. "Come on let's go or we'll be late". We soon left the house. I was sad walking outside and not seeing my car. I got inside Ethan's car and called Jasmine. "Hey Jazzy I'm gonna go with Ethan to the game. See you there". She didn't answer so I had to leave a voice message. We pulled into IHOP. "What are we doing here?"
"Getting breakfast". We soon got out and went inside. The smell of warm pancakes filled the air. I soon noticed how hungry I was. A waiter soon guided us to our seats. We sat down. Ethan didn't even look at the menu. "We're ready ma'am. I would like nothing but my beautiful girlfriend would like some breakfast. Bring everything if you can. This girl hasn't eaten in days. Thank you".
"Ethan! It's not breakfast it's practically dinner time. Besides I'm not that hungry".
"Ma'am please...don't listen to her. She's not paying for this I am". He already gave her money. I was a bit mad at him. The waitress then left. "Really? Ethan you know how I feel about this. I could have paid and ordered".
"So what. You're my girlfriend. I can spoil you". Inside me I felt guilty. I don't want Ethan thinking I'm some kind of gold digger, which I'm not. He then grabbed my hand. "It's ok Ana, it's just food".
"Yeah, but why are you not eating? You need to eat".
"I'll be fine". After a couple of minutes the waiter came with this big platter. Literally looks like it could feed four people. "Thank you" I said. She then walked away. I looked at Ethan. "Start eating" he demanded. "Remember I can do whatever I want to you so I am". I started eating. I felt like I was eating too fast but I actually was hungry. I gave Ethan a plate. He pushed it away from him. I gave him the look. "Eat Ethan". He raised his brow and shook his head. "That's strike two" he said. "Oooh I'm so scared. What's gonna happen when I get to strike three? Am I out?" That sounded kind of nice. Just to be out. "You're gonna find out what happens" he warned me. Such Dominance. I kind of liked it. A group of girls walked in. The blonde one must have been the leader she was in front of the other two. She walked by us but then stopped. "Oh hi!" She said. Ethan looked somewhat like he didn't want to talk to her. "Hey" He said in a low voice. "I haven't seen you in a while! It's been ,What? like forever?" She then looked at me. She kind of gave me this snobby look but then smirked at me. "You are a lucky one" She then winked at me and walked away to a far end booth. I heard them giggling. "Who was that?" I asked. Ethan got up. He looked kind of pissed. "Let's go". He grabbed my arm and pried me from the seat. "Ethan?" We walked out of IHOP. I heard him say under his breath. "Shit! I forgot she came here on Mondays. How I could I be so stupid?" He opened the car door and placed me inside. He then slammed the door. Once he got in the car he sped down the rode. "Ethan what's going on?"
"We're gonna be late" He said bluntly.
"Just slow down a little". We made it to the school in less than five minutes. We then just sat in the car as he parked. He sighed. I turned towards him. "Ethan what's going on?"
"Nothing...".
"You're lying to me".
"I don't want to talk about it but I know I have to". Deep down inside I knew what he was talking about. The girl who had told me I was lucky was defiantly Ethan's ex-girlfriend. "You use to date her didn't you?" He didn't say anything. I then got out of the car. I wasn't mad just that I just wanted to get out of the car. "Ana please don't go".
"I'm not going anywhere. I'll meet you after the game". I walked towards the bleachers. I just sat there for a while. I seen him go in the locker room that was located on the side of the building. I sighed. I don't want Ethan thinking I'm mad at him because I'm not. But then I started thinking too much. Did him and her had...? No....I can't think about it. I won't think about it. I got up and decided to go walk to the locker room. Good thing hardly anyone was in there. It honestly smelled like lemons in there which is not what I expected it to smell like. There was blue lockers and gray walls in the building. I turned the corner and almost bumped into Grayson. He was wearing his gear. Just without his helmet. I immediately was embarrassed. "Hey, Ana" he smirked at me. I remembered the dream I had. "Oh...um hi".
"You came to see the game?" I nodded. "Be careful...".
"Gray I know about Liam".
"What are you talking about?"
"He's a vampire. He killed a girl in his room. I seen it at the dance".
Grayson's jaw clenched. "I have to go". He stormed out of the locker room. What was that all about? I didn't take any attention to it. I walked near the showers. There was a line of lockers at the end. I soon found Ethan. He was shirtless and only wearing his bottoms. I admired his back muscles. I leaned against the locker and folded my arms. He then placed his shorts over his boxers. "Awe I was enjoying the show". He looked over at me and smirked. But then his face grew sad. Ethan sat down at the bench in the middle of the lockers. He looked at his shoes. I went over to him. I lifted his face to look at him. "Ethan? What's wrong?"
"I just don't want to lose you again over something stupid".
"You're not going to. Ethan I'm fine". I then straddled him. This position felt kind of good. I then kissed him. Pulled him in closer by placing one of my hands behind his head. I felt him get up and he pinned me against the locker. He pulled his face away. "Remember I'm still in control" he said. He started to suck on my neck giving me a hickey. I groaned in pleasure. Butterflies were fluttering in my stomach. My body wanted him. I wanted him. "Ethan..." I groaned. "Shh...later". I used my other hand to find his length. "Oh no, you don't". He grabbed my hand and pinned it against the locker. I then slid my legs off of him. "What are you doing?" He said. "I'm not giving you what you want either. I'm still gonna continue to play this game as well".
"But I can do whatever I want to you?"
"That maybe true but question is am I gonna let you?" He smirked and raised his eyebrow. "You'll be begging so bad". I rolled my eyes. "Did you roll you're eyes at me?"
"Yeah So what?"
"Strike three". I heard the whistle blow outside so did Ethan. He then sighed. "I guess I'll see you after the game". I kissed him and wished him luck. I sat back at the bleachers. The seats were almost filled. I soon found Jasmine. She seemed strange. "What's wrong?" I asked her.
"Remember when you said that Liam was a vampire and he killed a girl?" I nodded. "She's not dead...he turned her".
"What do you mean? Do you even know who she is? How did you find out?"
Before Jasmine could answer me. Ethan's ex and her friends sit a seat below us. She then noticed me. "Oh hey, Ana right?" I just nodded. "I'm Jessica. I use to date Ethan. Well actually, I use to fuck him...but seems he's fucking you now. He likes it rough you know?"
"I suggest you shut up" I said. "Hey come on, I'm just trying to have a conversation here". She looked familiar when I actually took a good look at her. "Ana you u act like you never met me. I'm pretty sure you forgot since I was bloody on the bed". I gasped. It was her! The dead girl in Liam's room. "Come on Ana, you don't need this". People weren't near us. They couldn't even know what was going on. Jasmine was about to get up until Jessica pulled her back down by her leg, forcefully. Jessica flashed her glowing red eyes. My heart raced. "If you don't want any trouble then you listen to me or else".
"Or else what?" I said. Her two friends didn't seem that they were effected by the situation. "Then your boyfriend might get it or best friend here". I decided to just shut up. She smiled at me. "Good girl. Now let's watch the game". The game had started. It was in the second half. We were winning. I tried my hardest to watch Ethan and Grayson play. It was already dark. After a while, Jasmine brought out a knife. I looked at her and shook my head. She put her finger to her lips indicating that I would be quiet. She mouthed the words "run". Jasmine counted to three quietly. I shook my head and my heart was racing. As soon as she got to three I ran as fast as I could down the bleachers. I didn't look behind me. I was soon down near the field. Suddenly I heard gasping and yelling. I turned towards the field. "Ethan!" I heard Grayson yell. I ran to the field. Ethan was lying on the ground. I was quickly by his side. I fell to my knees. "What happened?!" I yelled. "I don't know!" Said Grayson. A crowd soon surrounded us. I turned Ethan over. He had a gash on his stomach. "Oh god!" I started to cry. "Ethan please get up!" I continued to say. Everything went by so fast. I soon was in the hospital again. I was sitting down by Ethan. He was in a bed lying unconscious. Doctors said that somehow he was somewhat stabbed by a sharp object. They said he was lucky nothing was punctured. For now he must rest. I was crying too much that I had nothing left to cry. I sat there staring at Ethan. I kept calling Jasmine and she didn't answer. Grayson had stepped in the room. He looked at Ethan then at me. "This is all my fault" I said with my voice cracking. "How?"
"I should have just listened to her. I shouldn't have let Jasmine-".
"What do you mean?"
"Ethan's ex-girlfriend was a vampire. She threatened Jasmine and I. Jasmine was trying to kill her and then that's when Ethan-. I don't know it doesn't make sense". Grayson didn't say anything. He just stood there. "I'm gonna go get some air. I'll be back". The halls were empty in the hospital. I wanted to go get some water from a vending machine. I looked at the buttons with the pictures for a while. All of a sudden, I was pinned against the wall. My mouth was covered. I tried to break free but I couldn't. I tried to scream but I couldn't. I looked up to find but Liam holding me down. My heart raced as I seen his eyes glow red. "What happened to Ethan was a warning. Next time it won't be". He moved his hand away from my mouth. "What do you want from me?"
"Ana isn't it obvious. I like you. I want you. If you want your boyfriend to stay alive then I suggest you leave him. Come with me".
"Never!"
"Have it your way but when bad things happen don't say I didn't warn you!"
"Why did you turn his ex- girlfriend?"
"She was a slut anyways. I don't care about her. Only you, Ana".
"You're crazy!"
"Fine! But I'll be waiting for you. Always be waiting for you". He then let me go and he disappeared. I walked back to Ethan's room quickly. Grayson was looking at Ethan. He soon made eye contact with me. Tears streamed down my face. I couldn't resist. I ran and hugged Grayson. At first he was stiff as a rock but then he became more comfortable. He then turned his head to face the other ways the door opened. Jasmine appeared behind him in the doorway.I ran up to her and hugged her. "Don't ever do that again!" I looked at her.
"What happened to Jessica?"
"That doesn't matter....she's gone".
"I'm just glad you're ok".
"I know who did this to Ethan". I looked at Grayson who stood there saying nothing. "It was Liam".
