The REAL Beginning to a Brighter Future

#18 Well Emily took it well

Hazels POV:
The weekend went by quite quickly. When I woke up on Saturday I went over to Emily's house. When I arrived her mom let me in and told me that she was in her room sleeping. So I decided to let her sleep a bit and I just sat on the couch in the lounge. Ethan then walked in and frowned when he saw me. He then asked
"Why are you sitting here?" 
I looked down and up again.
"I just decided not to wake Emily to early."
He then nodded and sat next to me.
"True."
We sat in silence for a bit until I said
"So how are you holding up?"
He looked up and sighed
"I'm doing okay. It just hasn't sunk in yet."
I nodded and he turned to me
"How'd you get over it?"
I look at him confused
"What do you mean?"
"Like how did you get over your parents dying? If you don't mind me asking."
I laughed a bit and said
"It's okay I need to let go at some point..."
He looked at me confused
"You haven't gotten over it?"
I nodded
"Well you never really do... you just have to learn to put it in the past and remember the good times."
He then looks at me
"But how can I do that if I never showed how much I appreciated him?"
There was a pause and I thought about that. I never thought about that... I never did show that. I then look up and say
"Well... I didn't really either... but I think they knew already. I mean if you just do as much as saying thank you or be nice to them you will always have their gratitude and respect. So I don't think you need to worry about that. You're a good person."
He looks up from his hands after thinking for a bit
"Wow... I could say the same about you."
He then gets up and says
"Okay well thanks for that... I needed it. Oh and I think you can go see her now."
I stand and smile and he smiles back and walks out the room. My smile drops straight away. I didn't show any appreciation... not one bit. No wonder my parents hated me. I wipe the tear falling down my cheek and walk out the room and up the stairs. When I open the door I see a very scruffy looking Emily lying on the bed. Her hair was a complete mess and she was drooling from the side of her mouth. I laugh and sit on the side of the bed next to her. I gently push her a couple of times and she wakes up and says with a groggy voice
"Huh?"
I laugh and say
"Hiii."
She groans and turns to face me
"Why does my head feel like it's about to implode?"
I laugh again and say
"Let's just say that you had a couple drinks last night."
She groans again and sits up and swings her legs around to the side of the bed and looks at me.
"Did I do anything I'm gonna regret?"
I didn't say anything for a moment and said
"Take this to ease your head."
She then looks at me worried
"I did didn't I?!"
I laughed and said
"I'll tell you now just take them."
She quickly takes the tablets and throws them into her mouth and takes a huge gulp of water to swallow them down and looks at me
"Now... WHAT did I DO?!"
We sit in silence for a bit until I say
"Welllllll, you kinda were trying to climb a pool table and Liam helped you down. And you- you kind of.... kissed him..."
She sat there not saying anything for a few seconds and then said
"Nooo." And put her head in her hands.
I put my hand in her back and said
"Hey it's okay you can just tell him that you're sorry and how you really feel about him."
She then looks up from her hands and she's crying. What? I quickly pull her into a hug and she cries and says
"N-no it won't work like that! By me doing that it either made it weird or I hurt him!"
I squeeze her tighter and she says again
"Hazel I ca- I cant hurt him. You don't know how painful it is to see him hurt. Y-you don't-"
She then carries on crying into my shoulder and I sit there shocked. I didn't expect her to react like that... I then say
"Hey it's gonna be fine. We'll figure something out okay?"
She then pulls away and says
"Could you stay with me today? So we can just like chill."
I smile and say
"And eat ice cream sure."
She the wipes her eyes and says
"But there is no ice cream!"
I smile and say
"There is trust me."
I then help her stand and we walk to the kitchen. I open the fridge and take out two tubs of ice cream and ask
"Cookies and Cream or Choc Mint?"
She then squeals and hugs me and takes the Cookies and Cream. I laugh and we go and sit in the lounge.
We watch Spider-Man Homecoming and cry our asses off. After the movie was finished we watched some vines on YouTube and Emily fell asleep. I smile and tuck her in and stand up. I should go. I take the now empty ice cream tubs and put them in the bin, take my keys and my phone and walk out thanking Karen for allowing me to visit.
