Next Door Neighbor (CRANKGAMEPLAYS x READER)

-6-

Y/n's POV

I'm gonna be honest, I wanted him to kiss me and tell me not to go. I don't think I'm strong enough to see my mom awake. The last time she saw me, I was 15. Now I'm 21. I'm able to drive, I'm considered an adult now, hell, I can even drink If I wanted. As soon as I get off my flight my phone is spammed with texts from Ethan asking me if I landed yet and if I landed safely. I shot him a text.

Y: Hey, I just got off the plane now. I know I got the tickets last minute but it was all good, the ride was smooth, I enjoyed some apple juice and now I'm on the other side of the country.

Thank god you landed safely I was getting worried :E

Ok well, I have to go, Mark's yelling at me to set up a stream :E

Y: Ok byeeeee

Bye :E

💕 :E

Why did he send a heart?

(Ethan's POV)

Why'd I send a heart?

(Y/n's POV) 

I hopped In an uber at the airport and I popped out at the hospital my mother was staying at. I went up to the desk lady and told her I was here to see my mother. "So your y/m/n, y/l/n's daughter. Well, we haven't seen you here in a while." She checked her clipboard. "She's in room 216 on the second floor. She will be very excited to see you."

I walked down the hall a nervous wreck. I knocked on the door and then opened it. My mom was lying on the bed smiling at me. "Did you get a haircut?" She asks me. I laugh, then cry. "How old are you? Like 12?" 

"Reverse it."

"Your 21?"

"Yep." My mom looked at me.

"Wanna get drunk? I've always wanted to see what your like drunk."

"Maybe later mom. I have to tell you about some things first. First off, I moved to L.A."

"Wow, that's... farther then I said you can move. I said you can't live farther than 8 hours away by car."

"What can I say. I'm a rebellious kid." I've always viewed my mom more as a friend than as my parent. I've always been able to tell her anything.  "While I was out there I ran into Ethan actually." She looked at me with a smirky face.

"Isn't that the boy you've had a crush on for years?"

"yeah."

"Well, do you still like him."

"Mom, he's like, my best friend now," I show her my background on my phone of him. "of course I still like him." I hand her my phone so she can scroll through our texts. 

"Wow, he's even gone to the store to get you period stuff, huh?"

"Yeah."

"Do you miss him?"

"Duh. But let's keep that our little secret."

"Too bad your dating that Jackson guy, huh."

"I guess I forgot to tell you, I broke up with him about a year ago mom." I decided I didn't want to tell her about how he hurt me during the years we were together.

"So why aren't you and Ethan dating then?"

"He doesn't like me. I mean, I'd go out with him if he just asked."

"Trust me he likes you. And, he'll take good care of you. Now I know that you're doing good I can finally go."

"Go home? Really?"

"No." And her heart monitor went flat.
