Chapter Fifteen: "What The Hell Ethan!"

Sunday

I WAS BEYOND PISSED. "He did what!?" I yell.

"I'm sorry Miss Parker, but it was the family's wishes. Even if Mr. Dolan is just his brother. He has the right to request that," the desk attendant says to me.

I huff in anger. Perri stands beside me with her arms folded. "I can't believe he would do something like this."

"You're telling me. He's being a jealous asshole."

I was fed up. It wasn't fair. Ethan had prevented me from seeing Grayson, and that didn't sit too well with me.What he was doing wasn't right.

"Maybe he's doing it for your own good. I mean, Gray does look pretty bad. He's hooked up to all those machines and he has a black eye-"

I look at Perri with jaw nearly dropped. "You've seen him?" I sounded angrier than I should've. I was mad, but I wasn't Kanye West mad.

She stops talking as if she doesn't want me to know. I stare her down.

"Yeah, I was gonna tell you though. Ethan had told me that he was going to do something, but I didn't know he was going to do this."

I begin to walk away. How could he? I loved Grayson. I loved him too, but things like this pushed me away.

"Jade, he's just protecting you!" Perri yells after me.

       The lobby was pretty noisy, but you could hear our conversation loud and clear.

"From what? I can handle myself, Perri. What if Max did this to you?" I ask. "Oh wait, you barely even talk to him these days. Are you guys even dating anymore? " I used all the sarcasm I could. This seemed to get to her.

Her face turns red. I could tell that she wasn't too happy with my commentary on her relationship.

"You know, every since you got so involved with the twins, I barely even see you anymore. If two people with the same face are going to make you act like a bitch, maybe you shouldn't hang around them, or maybe you shouldn't hang around me."

I watch as she storms off. I was too upset for her words to hurt me, but I'm sure they would soon. She was going to come around, so I wasn't bothered.

I stay in my room, but I cab barely sit down. I pace back and forth, thinking.

"Why?" I ask myself. "Why would he do this?"

My heart was aching. At that moment I had wished that anything other than Grayson were on my mind.

There was a knock.

I kept pacing around the room. It was probably just Perri. She had probably gotten over the situation that fast. I don't answer since I'm mad at her. I didn't even want to talk. Let alone see her face.

"Well I'm just going to come in anyways, " someone groans. It was Mel for sure.

Even though she was the last people on earth that I wanted to see too, I still needed something to get my mind off things.

"I'm sorry," I apologize, still moving. "Thought you were someone else."

"who?" she asks.

"Perri."

"Hmm, You two having drama?"

"Yup."

"Ohhhh. Don't care."She sits on the bed. I don't look at her, I was still in my own head. Which is exactly why I ignore her slight snobbish comment.

"What are you doing?" she asks in an aggravated tone.

I was still pacing back and forth.
"Thinking. Something you rarely do," mouth off.

I could see her roll her eyes from the corner of mine. It was bad that I had this kind of stuborness in my family. Hopefully my kid didn't inherit it.

I stop walking. I was stuck. I had forgotten that I was pregnant already, and now it seemed like a bigger deal than before.

"Oh my gosh," I whisper. Mel looks at me.

"What the hell is wrong with you Baby?" she groans. "Damn, did the car wreck make you a nut?"

I refrain from touching my stomach. I didn't want my sister to know about my pregnancy just yet. I knew she would flip out when I told her who I thought was the father.

"I'm fine. I just...im fine, " I stutter.

I didn't know what else to say. Mel was only here for either two reasons : Out of guilt or because she hated my guts and wanted to blame me for everything.

"Good," she responds. She looked different today. Her face didn't have any makeup, her eyes were red and puffy, and her hair was up. Mel wasn't even that beautiful with makeup, so without it she was twice as worse. I liked her better this way though. It made her look less Regina George type.

"Why are you here?" I wonder.

She looked confused. As if the answer was obvious.

"I mean... Did mom send you? Dad?"

It was typical of my parents to send Melanie in their place. They had probably gone back to work.

"No one sent me Jade! Damn! You're still my sister and I care about you. Even if I'm a bitch sometimes," she argues.

I laugh. "Sometimes?"

The joking seemed to calm her down. She was sincere with her words, and I appreciated that.

I walk over to the window and look down at the streets. They were busy. It was nothing compared to New York, but I had loved California.. The fresh smell of the ocean air, the sunny days, and the endless pleasure of being able to see a good-looking guy every five minutes. It was the good life.

"Have you seen Grayson?" I ask trying not to get jealous.

"No. Ethan made sure I stayed far away from him, but I'm sure you saw plenty of him," Mel answers.

I didn't tell her about Ethan. She didn't need to know that he requested that I not see him either.

"I heard he's beat up pretty badly. People at school are still making all kinds of stuff for you guys. Especially Gray since he's in a coma, " Mel says as she pulls a handful of cards from her purse.

I take them from her hand. They included a bunch of drawings from people in kindergarten and up. It was cute. I liked that people in our community cared. It made me feel better.

"That's sweet,  I whisper quietly.

Mel agrees with a small noise. The room was silent. My sister and I had no idea what to do with each other. We were both hopeless cases. It was quite funny. Everyone in the family always thought that she would be the first one to get knocked up, but I beat her to it.

I wanted to tell someone. I had this human being growing inside me, and it wasn't getting any smaller. If only I could just let her know. Someone. Somebody. Anyone other than Perri.

"I'm.. I'm...-"

"You're what?" Mel asks. She pops a piece of gum into her mouth and looks my way.

I shrug, still caught in my stutters. I wanted to tell her, but God knows that I couldn't.

"I'm hungry, " I lie. It wasn't entirely a lie though. I hadn't really eaten anything today, and my stomach was growling.

"How about I bring you some Chick-fil-A?" she suggests.

I shake my head," No way, Zaxbys is way better."

She smiles. In that moment I had actually felt like I had a sister and not a sworn enemy.

"Zaxbys it is" She agrees.
