The boy in the beanie

Chapter 13: The Note

SAMANTHA'S P.O.V

After Ethan dropped me off at home, I knocked on the door of my house. No one answered. I didn't know what to do, until I remembered there was a spare key under the mat.

I opened the door, and turned on the lights.

Me: "I'm home! Mum, dad? Where are you?"

I saw a note on the kitchen bench.

I was about to open it, when I heard someone call my name.

"Samantha, Samantha wait up, your phone was in my bag!"

I turned around and looked outside the door to see Ethan running towards me with my phone.

Me: "Oh woops, thanks."

I grabbed my phone off him and slowly opened the note, with Ethan inviting himself inside.

ETHAN'S P.O.V

I was walking home, when I heard a beep coming from my bag. I reached my hand inside, realising that Samantha's phone was in my bag. The beep was just a silly app notification.

I went back to her place and gave her the phone back.

After she grabbed it off me, she opened a note that was sitting on the kitchen bench. I felt curious to know what it was, so instead of being a rude sticky nose, I decided to watch her facial expressions to see if it was good news, or bad.

Her eyes started off at the top of the page, and as she got lower, she seemed to smile. Suddenly her face turned completely opposite to happy. She looked scared, worried and shocked.

After her eyes landed at the bottom of the page, she looked up at me with the note still in her hand. She looked terrified. In almost a second, she jumped into my arms sobbing. What did the note say?

Me: "Sam, what's wrong?!"

Samantha: "Mm-my par-rents they are g-gohnoo." She said crying so hard.

I didn't really understand what she said, so I gently took the note out of her hands and opened it up.

(Dear Samantha,

Dad and I have taken the boat out on the ocean to catch some fish for dinner. We wanted the fish to be extra fresh for you! We should be home by 5 in the evening.

- Love you, Mum & Dad x.)

5 in the evening? That's not good, it's almost 8!

SAMANTHA'S P.O.V

After realising what situation my parents could be in, Ethan read the note himself.

When he was finished he looked into my eyes. His beautiful brown puppy dog eyes melted my heart.

Ethan: "Oh babe, it's going to be ok!"

He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into a warm hug. I felt safe, and a little rush of.. Love.

Ethan: "You don't know if anything bad has happened yet, don't get all sad! I promise, everything will work out to be fine. I love you baby."

He put his soft warm hands through my hair. He grabbed my neck, looked into my eyes, and pecked my lips.

Me: "Ethan, I want to call them. I want to see if they're alright."

Ethan: "Sure, go for it."

I called Mum, no answer. I called Dad. I waited, I waited, I waited. No answer.
