SAMANTHA'S P.O.V
I slammed the door shut and flopped on my bed. I cried, a lot. I couldn't stop crying.
Mum: "Dinner time!" My Mum yelled from downstairs.
Me: "Not hungry!" I yelled back.
After a few more hours of crying, I checked the time. It was 11pm. I decided the only better thing I could do than cry, is sleep.
I was laying in my bed trying to sleep, when I heard the door ring. It's probably just Dad.
A few minutes later, I heard fighting. Well, I guess it's normal for couples to fight. After a couple more hours, they finally stopped fighting.
~*~*~
The next morning I woke up with puffy eyes from crying last night. There's really no way I'm going to school, and I've got a plan.
Since my eyes are puffy, this is a perfect opportunity to get some Vaseline on my eyes and fake conjunctivitis. That's exactly what I did.
In about half an hour, my Mum finally realised that I hadn't come downstairs yet.
Mum: "Knock knock, can I come in?" She asked outside my bedroom door.
Me: "Yes Mum."
She walked in my room, staring at my with her eyebrows raised.
Mum: "Oh no, you've got conjunctive ides! I think it's best you stay home today."
Me: "Yeah, I can barely see out of them. Why did Dad come home late last night?"
She looked at the ground and bit her lip.
Mum: "Well, I don't really know. There's something I need to tell you though... Dad... Left." She said softly.
Me: "What do you mean... Left?!"
Mum: "He said he's um, leaving the house... For good."
Me: "W-wait you mean to say he's g-gone?! He's just leaving us?"
There was a silence in the room that lasted a few minutes.
Mum: "We will be fine, sweety."
I couldn't talk. I was... Speechless.
~*~*~
After a few hours of laying in bed doing absolutely nothing, I still couldn't believe life as it is. It's like a horrible nightmare. I lost Ethan, and now Dad. Who's next?
ETHAN'S P.O.V
I got to school this morning, and started searching the school grounds for Samantha. She was no where to be seen. I started getting really worried, but I held in the tears.
At the end of the day, I decided to go to Samantha's house and see if everything's alright. I really want to explain, hopefully she'll give me the chance.
SAMANTHA'S P.O.V
I was so depressed, I felt no need to live anymore. What's the point, there's nothing exciting in my life? There's nothing that I'd actually like live for.
Mum: "Sweety, I'm going to run down to the doctors clinic and get my monthly checkup. Won't be long!" She yelled before shutting the front door.
I felt like I could no longer handle the thought of life. I rushed downstairs and grabbed a knife. This was my chance to escape from it all. In just a second, everything will be over. Here we go. I was counting down from five, when the front door slammed open.
Ethan: "Samantha?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" He yelled while throwing the knife out of my hands.
He grabbed me and pulled me into a tight hug.
Ethan: "What would I have done if I lost you!" He said as tears poured out of his eyes.
Why was he crying, he cheated on me?
Me: "Why would you care."
Ethan: "I care because your my girlfriend! I love you more than anything!"
Me: "No you don't, you love Paige."
Ethan: "This is why I came here, to explain everything. You want to know why you saw me kissing Paige? Well, she had cancer. Yesterday was her last day, and it just so happened to be her birthday. She wanted a goodbye kiss, and who am I to say no to that? She... Died today..."
Wow, I felt like such a fool.
Me: "That's terrible, but Ethan you should've asked me!"
Ethan: "About the kiss? Here's the thing, she didn't want anyone to know about her cancer except me. Well, I actually found out from overhearing her talk a while back. That's why I'm the only one at school that knew."
Me: "I'm so sorry! I didn't know!"
Ethan: "I can't believe you were going to leave me! Never do that again! I told you that I love you, and I meant it. Do you really think I'm that bad of a person to just cheat on you like that?"
Me: "No, I just didn't know what to expect..."
Ethan: "Well, you've got the answer now."
Me: "Why didn't you knock, you always knock?"
Ethan: "Your Mum called and asked if I could go over and look after you because your.. Sick. Your not really sick are you?"
Me: "Haha nah. Sorry about everything Ethan, I really am sorry."
He grabbed my hands and looked into my eyes, with our bodies facing each other. His eyes glistened as his tears were kept in his eyes, not falling.
Ethan: "Promise me you'll never do that again."
Me: "As long as I've got you Ethan."
He gave me another one of his beautiful kisses, every single one of them was special. I've noticed, each time he kisses me, everything becomes... Better.
Wow I can't believe Paige is gone, it would be terrible for her family to deal with it. I can't imagine losing one of my family members, oh wait, I've only got one left. Mum. What was I thinking, killing myself and leaving Mum all by herself?!
Me: "Mr Karpathy, your my hero."
