True Love?

My life took a very interesting turn, when i found out i was adopted. Everything i came to know, became a huge lie. I felt like everyone i knew, now knew my secret. My whole life changed. A week after i found out, two people knew already, but thats because i tell them everything. My two best friends, know everything about me, i am an open book to them. So i had no choice but to tell them. Juliet and Allie can tell when somethings wrong, so they were bugging me about what was going on, until i finally broke down and had to tell them. I am really glad they didn't leave me. But after i told them, my classmates started to look at me funny, like they think I'm a fake.  

Today i ran out of school cryong because i couldnt take it anymore. Of course once they both found out Juliet and Allie came to find me. They guessed right the first time. When they found me i was in the old park, under the low willow tree. It completely covered me. They found me and they tried to make me feel better, it wasn't working. Finally they just sat there with me, for a few hours.  

Juliet had to leave after about an hour because her parents wanted her home. She tried to explain to them, that i needed help, but they were not buying it. So juliet left. Allie was still with me. She was here for a few hours now. I tried to make her go home, but she would not listen. I heard a deep voice, but i couldn't make out who it was. Allie was talking to him.  

"She has been here a few hours now, she just wont stop, and i dont know what else to do." 

"Here Allie you can go, ill stay with her, and maybe even get her to go home."  

Allie must've agreed because she was now whispering in my ear. "Haile, I'm going to go now, but Ethan is going to stay with you." I nod, but I'm also trying to recall ethan. Then it hits me, we used to be friends, but that all changed last year, when i found out, I loved him. Now i don't know what to say, so i cry harder. Ethan sits next to me, and just rubs my back. When I'm all cried out, he asks, "do you want to go home now?" too afraid ill cry again when i speak, i just nod. So he picks me up. When we get to my house, he carries me up the steps. I go to my room, hes about to leave when i remember no one will be home but me, and i get worried. "Ethan? Can you stay with me please? No one will be home, and I'm really worried i might have a cry attack again." to my surprise he says, "Sure, just like old times." Then he grins to himself. I try to go downstairs, but Ethan just ends up carrying me again. 

We both stay downstairs, i will sleep on one side of the couch, while he will sleep on the other. He ran to his house, to get his clothes. When he came back, he saw me watching, my favorite movie, The Hunger Games. He sat next to me, and asked,"You like this movie?" he seemed surprised i was watching it. So i responded, "Yea, it is actually one of my favorites." "Mine too, i even read all the books." I smile and reply, "I read the books too. I cant wait for Catching Fire to come out." He smiles too, "Then we are going to see it together." I nod, "Its a date." He smirks.  

Sometime during the movie, i laid down on his lap, when it was over, i rubbed my eyes, and sat up. I looked at him and he was watching me. I calmly ask him, "What do you want to watch now?" He opens his lips to say something, but he doesnt. Finally he speaks, "Um.... How about one of our favorites? Beastly perhaps." I laugh, and answer him with, "Beastly it is." I grab it from my shelf, and i put the disc into the dvd player. We watch it for awhile and i end up on Ethan's lap again.

When i wake up, Im on Ethan, but im on his chest. I can hear his heartbeat, and feel his breath on my head. I don't want to ruin this precious moment by getting up. I can feel him stroking my hair, and i hear his heart accelerate. I take a deep breath and i roll over, pretending to be asleep. I almost fall off the couch but Ethan catches me. He pulls me back up. So, i think, He's awake. I love laying on him, he is just so warm. I open my eyes and see that Ethan is watching me. I look deeply into his eyes, and they make me say, "Hi." he smiles still staring into my eyes, "Hi." Now i smile. Suddenly he says, "I've missed you so much Haile. I think to myself everyday, why did we stop being friends, and I cant answer it. Maybe you can though...." his voice trails off and i know what i want to say, what the real answer is, that i fell in love with you and i didn't want to ruin our friendship. But instead i say, "Things got... Complicated, and people.... Change." I take a deep breath. He looks sad, i can see it in his eyes, and when he talks i can sense pain in his voice, "I know I didn't change, and you don't seem like you changed, and then how did things get so complicated?" i answer with what i think is best, "Ethan, i did change and my life just got complicated, because i found out I'm adopted, so I'm a fake, and I'm not who you think i am." He gets this feisty look on his face, and says, "Just because your adopted doesn't mean, that you changed, it means that you lived a better life, then what it could have been. And it means that your not fake, just your family, I'm sure you would be the same person even if you were not adopted." I think about what he said for a moment, then i get off of him and say, "want anything to eat?" He pulls me back down, so now I'm on him, and he says, "Dont change the subject, and Haile i have a confession to make..." I interrupt him and i say, "I also have a confession to make." at the same time we both say, "you first." I laugh and i go ahed and i speak first, "I'm hungry, and i can't cook, so..." He laughs, or i should say fake laughs. Then he speaks, "Well then your out of luck because i cant cook either." I laugh and he lets me go. I walk into the kitchen and pour cereal in two bowls, i bring it to where he is waiting. Ethan sees me and says playfully, "You must be really hungry." I give him a smirk and respond while patting my stomach, "Yup because im so fat nowadays." He gives me a look i cant quite make out, and just shakes his head as he sits down.
