Ambers Pov
I wake up and run to the bathroom, I shut the door and lock it. I run over to the toilet and puke. I throw up all the trail mix and food ive eaten today. I puke for a good 30 minuets then sit on the toilet. What is wrong with me? Im not pregnant, or at least thats what the test said. So what else could this be? I go to stand up when my stomach starts to twist and turn on the inside. I put my head over the toliet again and start to puke. After a while I stop throwing up because theres nothing left in my stomach. I slowly stand up and walk to the sink to brush my teeth. After i brush my teeth I go to clean the toilet because i got some on the rim. After i get done cleaning i slowly open the door and see Ethan still sleeping. I tiptoe over to my room and grab my shower things and a pair of underwear. I start to tip toe back to Ethans room when i see his light on. Crap.

"Oh there you are." Ethan said running over to me and hugging me. I tense up because of the pressure being applied on my stomach makes it hurt again.
"Baby whats wrong?" He asks concerned.
"Oh its nothing. Just go back to sleep okay." i say smiling weakly then walking past him,
"Why didnt you wake me when you where throwing up, I could have helped you Amber."
"Because i dont need to wake you up for everything that bothers me. Just go back to bed while i shower okay.'' I sigh then walk into the bathroom. I start the shower then hop in. I start washing my hair when i hear a knock.
"Come in." i yell with a raspy voice. Once i say that i hear Ethan walk in.
"Can i sit in here with you? I just want to help you if you throw up again or worse." He says looking down.
"Of course Ethan, you can stay." I finish getting washed up then decide to run a bath so i plug the drain and let it fill up. I add bubbles and then sit back and relax. I open the curtain since my body is covered by the bubbles. I get an alarming look from Ethan followed by him kneeling down infront of me.

"Amber you're really pale. You look dead." he says
"I wish I was" i said under my breath. He sighs
"I know you do but im hoping i can change that." He says teary eyed.
"Please dont cry Ethan." i say looking down
"How can i possibly not cry amber? You are in pain, youre suffering for fuck sake. Am i suppose to smile and ignore that because i hate to tell you this but i cant. You are my everything amber, what you feel i feel, what you go through i go through." He sniffles
"This is why ive been hiding things from you. Its becuase im hurting you ethan. Im fucking ruining you and i cant do that to you anymore. I cant live knowing that i am hurting you, i just cant."

"I don't give a damn about me Amber and I think ivemade that very clear. I dont care what happens to me its you who matters here. I dont want to lose you, ever. Do you understand how madly in love with you i am, because i dont think you do. I love you Amber."
"I dont think im good enough for you anymore. I mean after eveything thats happened it was bound to happen Ethan." I say looking at my wrists.
"Lets get you into some clothes, your lips are turning blue." He sighs while handing me a towel.

I drain the tub and wrap myself in the towel. He walks out and I start to get dressed. I look at my stomach and see still fading handprint bruises. I start to tear up and look away. Once i put my pants on i walk out and see ethan leaning against the door frame. He looks at me in my eyes for what seems like forever. He looks down to my lips then back at mine. He licks his lips then slowly kisses me. He pulls away and hugs me tightly.

"You are perfect for me Amber. You are perfect for any guy out there and you chose me for some reason. You dont understand how incrediably lucky i am to be able to love you."
"I cant give you want uou deserve ethan. It seems like you got stuck pulling the short straw with me." I pull away and walk to the bed.
"No stop Amber. You are wrong, youre so fucking wrong." He says kneeling in front of me. He looks down at my wrists and i quickly cover them up with the hoodie sleeve.
"You dont have to hide with me amber. I love everything about you." He says taking my hand and rolling up the sleeve. He gently kisses my scars.
"I love you Ethan, thats why i have to leave. I have to let you go."
"Stop Amber, youre not thinking. What is scarring you so much Amber?"He says standing me up.
