Johanna's POV
As planned we went to dinner after the movie but I wasn't feeling it. I felt extremely guilty, not just because I kissed Ethan but because I wanted it to go farther. I wanted him to pin me on the wall and fuck me upside, I really shouldn't be thinking these things.
I looked up from my plate to Ethan who was already looking at me. I quickly averted my gaze back to my empty plate. I want to go home, I need to go home but I was stuck here since Andrew was having a grand ole time with Cameron. They were laughing and flirty and she even touched his arm, I think it's safe to say they're into each other.
I groaned making Rudy look at me.
"You good?" He asked sipping his soda with an amused look.
"Fine" I rolled my eyes sighing.
"Okay I'd like to propose a toast!" Grayson spoke up.
"I had always thought that it would be me or Cameron who were going to be married first because I didn't think there'd be a girl who'd be willing to put up with Ethan's crap for the rest of her life" he spoke making everyone but me chuckle. "But here we are three days away from the big day!" He continued talking about Ethan and Malia but I tuned him out not wanting to hear about the guy I love marrying my sister.
"So everyone raise your glass, except for Rudy and Thea of course" he chuckled.
"Oh, and Johanna we can't have her falling off the wagon again" Malia chuckled making me glare at her.
"Seriously, Mal?" Drew scoffed.
"What it's true" she shrugged.
"It's also true that your a complete bitch but you don't hear me saying that don't you?" I crossed my arms as drew sighed.
"Hey, what the hell is your problem we can't ever do something nice without you causing a scene" Malia scoffed. You know what screw it.
I took Andrews glass of whine chugging it before giving it back to him receiving a look of disappointment in return but I didn't care.
"You're right Mal, that's what I aim to do every time we go out. Oh and hopefully I do go off the wagon again, maybe this time I'll die if alcohol poisoning" I gave her a sarcastic smile before storming out of the restaurant.
She really had some nerve bringing that up now. I wrapped my arms around myself for some warmth since the night was chilly. I walked down a dark street almost Immediately regretting leaving the restaurant since it was cold and I had no idea where I was.
I honestly just need to get my mind off of Ethan and the fact that he's taken by my sister of all people.
Wait, but if Ethan kissed me he could still have feelings for me right?
Or that's just wishful thinking.
This week was going to be hell.

Ethan POV
"She's not answering her cell" Andrew ran a hand through his hair in frustration as he paced back and fourth in the living room of the Flores residence.
"Ay dios mio! Where could she be?" Ms.Flores covered her face as more tears fell.
"She's not with Zia" Rudy spoke worry laced in his voice as he hung up the phone.
"How could you guys let her leave like that?" My mom scolded us.
I was worried too, if it weren't for Malia I'd be out there right now; but she was clinging to me like her life depended on it. Maybe she feels guilty, she should. She had no right to spill Johanna's business like that, I get that most of us knew but Johanna's the person who decides who knows about it and who doesn't.
"Fuck this, I'm going to look for her" Andrew put on his jacket.
"This is just like her, she just wants attention" Malia sighed making me angry. Her sister could be in danger right now and this is how she reacts.
"I'll go with you man" I pulled away from Mal's grip holding back a scoff.
Just as we were about to leave Johanna stumbled in, heals in one hand, reeking of alcohol. Oh no, she broke her sobriety.
"Oh shit" she mumbled balancing herself.
"Johanna Marie Flores are you drunk!?" Ms.Flores stood up with a furious expression.
"Whaaaat? Pfft, no absssolutely not. You want to proof? I'll walk in a ssstraight line" She slurred attempting to walk in a straight line failing miserably.
"Get her out of my sight" Nadine demanded before Andrew quickly grabbed her making her giggle. Rudy and Thea quickly followed behind as Malia sat next to her mother rubbing her back to comfort her. Mom, dad, and Cameron stood awkward and speechless. I'm sure they understand though I was just like that.
"Oh wait!" Anna exclaimed making everyone look at her. "Can Ethan come too?"
Everyone gave her a confused look before looking at me. I panicked but I didn't show it I just shrugged as if I were confused too.
"Pleeeease" she whined making Malia glare at her. "Fine, then no one else can come" She pouted slapping Andrews hands away before stumbling up the stairs slamming the door.

Johanna's POV
I woke up, my head pounding, and my throat extremely. I sat up rubbing my face looking to the side being startled by Ethan.
"What are you doing here?" My voice was raspy. "Where's Thea?" I looked around not finding her in her usual spot on my bed.
"Rudy and Thea are in school, everyone else is running errands for the wedding" he shrugged sitting back on my desk chair. He was wearing a t-shirt that showed of his muscles and some sweat pants that showed off....well you know. I wanted nothing more than to crawl in his lap while he stroked my hair.
It was silent for a few short seconds before he spoke.
"You broke your sobriety" he spoke in a hushed tone. I sighed rolling my eyes before getting out of bed realizing I was still in my clothes from last night.
"Johanna you can't just ignore it like it didn't happen" he got up too crossing his arms.
"It's fine Ethan" I said through gritted teeth as I began undressing.
"You broke your pledge-"
"Oh-fucking-well!" I shouted facing him, just wearing my underwear. He looked me up and down licking his lips before clearing his throat. "I drink when I'm stressed and this whole week will, and has, been stressful!"
"Anna" his tone softened.
"Don't!" I stopped him through gritted teeth, he was my weakness and he knew it.
He walked over to me slithering his arm around my waist, pulling me closer, as the other hand caressed my cheek. I closed my eyes enjoying the moment.
"I'm so sorry" he whispered before kissing me sweetly. I placed my hands pushing him away slightly stepping out of his grip making a look of confusion cross his face.
"I should get dressed my mother has a rant for me" I sighed before leaving.
It won't happen......it can't happen.
