Ethan's pov.

Roni was definitely knocked out. she drank the punch without knowing it was alcohol...I feel guilt in my body even though I hadn't known either.

I quickly placed Roni in the passenger seat, buckled her up, hopped in my seat and floored it. I didn't know where she lived or if anyone else was with her but I'm really traumatized right now. Could that possibly be her boyfriend...? If he is, I would be pissed. I kind of developed a crush on Roni. She's drop dead gorgeous.

-

I pull up in my driveway and gently pick Roni up. She was unconscious and anything she'd say would be slurred. This poor girl, she just wanted friends. I don't know much about her but she seems really cool. I called the police in the car but I'm sure many others had already too.

I lay her on my bed and patted her head. I checked to see if Grayson was alright, and thankfully he was sleeping on the couch peacefully. He hates parties so I figured he went home early. I decided not to tell him anything, he freaks out too much. I return to my room and examine Roni's face.

She has so many scars, no not acne scars, battle scars. She flinched as I ran my fingers through her hair. My ex girlfriend cheated on me and begged me to stay, of course I didn't. She was as still as a statue when she said, "you'll pay for this." It's been 3 months anyways, I doubt she'll do any harm. But Roni, she reminded me of her, so cute, small, and shy. But one difference they have between each other is probably loyalty...

I knocked on Cameron's door.
"What do you want Ethan?" I guess she's pretty pissed off about something? Never mind she's always like this. "Can I have some makeup wipes? I have to remove this stain."

"Here! Now shoo." She slammed the door shut.

-

I softly wipe off her makeup and peeled her eyelashes. With makeup she looked hot, without she looked cute. Her face was literal perfection. I brush my teeth, take a shower, and freshen up. To be completely honest, I kind of miss having a girlfriend...I don't even think Roni likes me back. But that's okay I'll stay broken hearted.

I turned on the TV because the crappy commercials make me sleepy, roll into bed, and wrap a blanket around Roni.

Veronica's pov.

I woke up with a huge migraine. How the fuck did I get one? I rub my eyes and yawn. I'm in Ethans room. I scratch my head and try to remember what had happened yesterday.
"You awake?" His voice hummed against my body. "Did we-?" "No, no, don't worry. You must feel sick are you okay?"

I smile, knowing he cared. I sat up on the edge of the bed and he followed. "What happened yesterday?" He gave a stressful sigh. "It was all my fault I'm sorry. I should've known you had a boyfriend, I put you in danger." I was confused as hell. "Wha- I don't have a boyfriend."
He tilted his head in confusion, "Then who was that curly haired guy who yelled out your name?" I then remember, it was JC. Of course I can't tell him he's my former boss.

"I have no idea..." I look down. "It's okay, as long as we are safe, we'll be fine." He said rubbing my shoulders. I had this weird jittery feeling in my stomach, almost like I was scared. Or maybe too excited, it's hard, I can't describe the feeling but all I know is he made me feel loved and safe.

I jumped as I heard a ding from my phone. I search through my clutch and unlock my phone. "Who is that?"

I saw it was Kian. "Oh it's my uh friend, she's a little worried." I forced a smile. I almost said mom...

"So babygirl how is it going so far?"

"It's going good, i need to gain more of his trust though. Gtg he's looking!" Ethan wasn't looking, I just didn't want to talk to Kian right now. "Want to go freshen up?"

"That'd be nice." I smiled. He showed me to his bathroom and handed me a towel.

-

I came out the shower soaked in water and soap suds. "Ethan? Can you hand me my dress?"

"Isn't that uncomfortable, here wear this." He tossed a red and black plaid shirt paired with skinny jeans and vans.

"Where'd you get all of this from?" I giggled. "The jeans and vans are from my sister, she said I can use them if I have her 20 dollars." His smile made me smile. "Thank you Ethan..."

-

Everything surprisingly fit perfectly. I open the door and see Ethan all dressed up. He was wearing a playboy white hoodie and black jeans. He looked good, as usual.

"What are you all dressed up for?" He gestured me to come with him. "Answer me!" I laughed.

"I'm taking you to my special place, the place where I only bring the people I love. I blushed so hard it's unhealthy.

"By the way, your ass looks good in those jeans."

My cheeks were heating up like crazy. "You're gross!"

I kinda liked it though hehe...
