Overprotective

Chapter Thirteen

When we got home after school all I could think about was what they were going to say when they found out.

"How was school you guys?" Jason asked as we walked inside.

"Good." I mumbled. I started to walk away when he grabbed my arm.

"Ethan is in your room. He needs to talk to you." I nodded and started walking up the stairs trying to imagine what it was that he needed to talk to me about. When I walked into the room I saw him sitting on Emily's bed with a glare.

"You needed to talk to me?"

"We need to talk about this little boyfriend of yours." I nodded and he started talking. "You can't date him anymore. I know that you want to but you can't. You're just a little girl."

"Ethan you can't control me forever. I can make my own decisions okay? It's my life not yours."

"I just don't want you to end up like mom."

"Ethan I know what I'm doing. I'm not going to end up some drug addiction like mom who will just have sex with anything that has something in between their legs. And how dare you say that to me! You know what she did to me and yet you go and think that I'm going to do the exact same thing? Just get out." I pointed to the door and he sighed walking out. I locked the door and screamed. How dare he?! I wasn't going to end up like my mother. I wasn't going to be like that.

I climbed the ladder and laid down waiting for sleep to overtake me, but it never did. I just laid there for forever but I was just staring at the blank ceiling. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. I sat up and stared at the door.

"Emma let me in." Emily commented. I could barely hear her through the wood. I got up and unlocked it before sitting back on my bed.

"What do you want?" I questioned.

"I heard about the marriage project in your English class. I also heard that you got partnered with Brody. How lucky are you? Brody is so cute." She gushed.

"I know but I'm not going to do anything with him. I have Chase."

"I know but Chase got partnered with Stacey and I'm sorry to say but you have to know that she's going to do something. It's Stacey."

"Yeah I know but I just have to trust Chase."

"Okay but I heard that he has to stay here in your bed with you. You are so lucky. I don't have English until next year and Mr.Harmon is retiring which means that I won't get to do this."

"You snooze you lose." She fake gasped and threw a pillow at me laughing.

"You just started a war. A pillow fight war!" I yelled grabbing a pillow and hit her.

"Will you both shut up!" We heard Mason hell. We both took one look at each other and laughed before sitting back down.

"Have you told the bod about the project?" She questioned when we had calmed down.

"No. I should probably do that now though." She nodded and I walked down stairs into the living room where they were watching some sport.

"What's up?" Blake asked.

"Please don't get mad. So umm my English teacher gave us this project and umm it's the marriage project so my partner has to sleep here in the same bed as me."

"Why can't you just stay away from boys?" Ethan asked.

"Because I'm at a school where there are boys and girls. So umm we have to start tomorrow so don't get mad when he comes here okay?"

"Emma?" Blake started.

"Yeah?"

"You two are not sleeping in the same bed." He finished.

"But he has to. It's part of the project and I want to get a good grade." I whined.

"Fine but the door stays open."

"Thank you." I smiled hugging Ethan. I just hoped that everything was going to go as I planned and that my brothers didn't do anything that I didn't want them to do.
