What Went Wrong? (UNDER CONSTRUCTION)

Chapter 8

*A FEW WEEKS LATER...

"Ethan stop!" I screamed.

As I ran up the staircase in his parents house.

"My arm accidentally hit you." I said as I reached the top of the staircase, turning around to look at him.

"No, I'm going to get you so good." He said shaking his head.

"Can't we just talk this through." I said trying to negotiate.

Ethan put one foot on the first stair. He shook his head slowly.

"You're going to beg me to stop." He stated. Rylie came running around the corner and jumped on Ethan's back.

"Run Skylar!" She screamed. Ethan tried to get her off his back.

I turned and ran yelling, "Thanks Ry, you're the best!"

I ran into Ethan's room. Not the best hiding place, but hey maybe he won't expect me to come in here. closed and locked the door quietly. heard Riley laughing and Ethan chuckle. Not minutes there was a soft knock on Ethan's door.

"Skylar, I'm not going to get you back." Ethan said softly.

Like hell, I was believing that bullshit!

"Bull crap!" I said, censoring.

"You're right.," Ethan said. "You're getting good."

"I know." I said back.

I heard an almost screeching sound and then a bump on the door.

"What the hell?" I said quietly.

5 minutes later I heard a knock on the window. I turned to see Ethan motioning me to open it. I shook my head and smirked. I turned around, unlocked the door, but when I tried to pull it, it wouldn't budge.

"What the?" I said quietly. I pulled and shook the door violently.

"Yea not gonna happen." I heard Ethan say.

I turned around and tried to run, but forgot the door was closed and ran into the door, knocking myself out.

*

I woke up on Ethan's bed. It was almost dark when I looked out the window. I turned my head to look at Ethan's clock. It read 7:00. I got out of his bed and opened his bedroom door softly. I walked walked quietly down the hallway. I turned to go down the stairs, but stopped when I heard Ethan on the phone.

"I know." Ethan said.

I could only hear his voice. I stepped back around the corner and just listened.

"I'll get her out of here by tomorrow."

"Is he talking about me?" I said, oh so quitley.

"No." I heard Ethan say.

"No, I'm not talking about you." Ethan added.

I stood there still, hoping that he didn't notice I was there.

"Skylar." Ethan called out.

I stepped from around the corner and walked down the stairs.

"Hey." I said awkwardly, while waving my hand.

"I know you were listening." Ethan responded.

"I don't know what you're talking about," I said. "I just woke up not a minute ago." I said parsley lieing.

"You realize that it doesn't take a minute to get from my room to the stairs, right?" Ethan responded.

I doubt he's actually timed how long it takes to get from his room to the stairs. And if he did it's kinda creepy.
