chapter fourteen "red roses"

serina

THE PAST FEW DAYS have been uneventful due to the fact that nothing interesting had happened.

i mean besides avoiding ethan and what not, but surprisingly he didn't make an effort to approach me.

which had me confused since he was always so persistent when we had fights.

forgetting about it i got home in a hurry that day.

the house was empty and quiet due to my parents being at work all day so i just went in the kitchen to get some snacks.

looking through the cupboards and the fridge a bunch of times i find nothing good to eat besides a box of stale cereal.

frustrated i go upstairs and decided to just eat the stale cereal due to the fact i was hungry as hell.

i changed into a comfy pair of clothes; black leggings and a grey sports bra, and got comfortable with my cereal and netflix.

unable to pay attention to the show my mind keeps wandering back to ethan.

and i hated myself for still feeling the way about him the way i do when i keep being treated like this.

-

it was around seven in the evening when i wondered why my parents weren't back yet.

shrugging i pick up my phone to order a large pizza for me, myself, and i.

once i did that i was about to text my parents to know their whereabouts when the doorbell rang suddenly.

my parents have keys so it couldn't have been them.

nor was i expecting anyone. cautiously i made my way downstairs and to the front door.

the bell kept ringing multiple times, getting annoyed i rush downstairs to answer the door.

opening it, no one was there. confused i was about to close it when ethan popped up.

"boo!" he yelled.

startled i screamed punching him in the nose. "ow!" he yells bringing his hand up to his nose.

i brought my hands up to my mouth in shock laughing slightly before shoving him.

"dick." i mutter.

i groan crossing my arms. "just get inside." i roll my eyes.

"ya know if you keep rolling your eyes every two seconds they're gonna get stuck there." ethan says shrugging as if he just said a known fact.

"literally shut your ass up and show me your nose." i say already annoyed.

i lead him towards the kitchen island making him lean up against it.

grabbing a damp cloth with ice i press it onto his nose. "well nothing wrong with your nose just a little bruised."

we walk back towards the living room while i cross my arms again avoiding eye contact.
