Ethan POV

"You'll get this back when you prove that you deserve it." He yelled, slamming my bedroom door behind him.

I didn't come down for dinner that night, and screaming between my parents could be heard from upstairs. I know what they're fighting about. It's me. They always fight about me. I blame myself for most of their problems.

Later that night, my Mom came upstairs and knocked on my bedroom door lightly.

“Eth?" She asked sweetly.

"Come in," I replied as she stepped into the room, l

    Anna POVSpeak of the Devil and she shall appear. Right as the sentence left Anna's mouth, Haley called back immediately. I groan before answering the call. "Hello?" "Why did you forward my call?" She demanded before anything else. "I'm kind of busy. Do you need something?" I ask, trying my best to have her get to the point of this call. "It's almost eleven at night. What could you possibly be busy with?" "I'm with Anna," I say honestly. "Wow. Well, since you're too busy to answer the first time I tell you, I thought you might like to know that he's dying." She cried, voice breaking towards the end. He's dying. "What? Haley, wait." "Come to the house if you have anything you'd like to say to him. I don't think he's going to make it through the night." She said before hanging up. Right as she hung up the phone, I stood up and began to slip my shoes on. Despite our very complicated relationship, I have to be there for Haley right now. Not only for Haley but for her entire fami

    Anna POVBefore Ethan could say anything in response to my dad's comment, one of the servers came out with our food. Everything looked amazing. Hell, even Phoebe's food looked good. Ethan automatically started to cut her chicken strips and fries into little pieces so they would cool off faster. My dad watched him with a steady glare. "What are you doing?" My dad asked rudely, clearly confused by Ethan's intentions. "I'm cutting her food for her so she doesn't burn her mouth or choke." He states, not looking up from the plate. "I think you're trying a little too hard, don't you think?" My dad scoffed. "How is cutting her food up trying too hard?" He asked, cocking one of his eyebrows. Oh lord. Here it comes, the battle of the century. "Daddy, I like it when Ethan cuts my food for me," Phoebe said to our dad, holding out a piece for him to eat. He looked at the piece in her hand with slight disgust. She, on the other hand, had a big smile plastered on her face. When she saw that he

    Anna POV"There's my two favourite girls!" He exclaimed, pulling Phoebe into his arms and pulling me into a hug and a kiss. Instantly, I felt all worry wash away. His kiss was enough to prove that he missed me just as much as I missed him. I don't have anything to worry about. "I missed you so much. The bed was lonely without you in it." I pouted. He smiled widely at my comment, giving me another quick kiss."I missed you so much more. How about I make it up to you tonight? You can come over. We can make it a movie night." He smiled."Can I go too?" Phoebe asked. Ethan turned his head towards her, almost forgetting that he was holding her for a moment."Of course you can, baby." He assured her as he kissed her cheek."Well, let's go and meet my dad before we make too many plans." I laughed.-As we approached Monty's, I didn't see the familiar red truck my dad usually drives. He always tells me to be early when arriving at things like this. Well, it's five minutes past the time he to

    Ethan POV"Can I stay with you? Please, Ethan. I can't go home. Please? I can sleep on the couch. Just don't make me go home. Please." She begged, looking up at me with her teary eyes. Despite any past we might have had, I couldn't leave her alone. Not right now, and not like this. "Of course you can. Just...let me run the girls home, okay? They don't live too far away. Just stay here and I'll be right back, okay?" I said, pulling away from her embrace."Do you promise?" She asked, "You know...that you'll come back?" She mumbled."I promise. Stay here, okay?" I promised her, before stepping away and walking out of the house.As I approached the car, Anna was looking at me like I was fucking insane. She got out of the car as soon as she saw me walking towards the driver's seat."What the fuck is going on?" She yelled, though barely above a whisper."Listen, I know that we had plans but I can't do it right now. Haley is going through some shit right now with her family and she needs a

    Ethan's POV As I approached the door, I thought of every single possible scenario that could play out right now. I left the light on. Well, this would be the best scenario. I know it's not true, though. Someone knew I was out of town. Someone came and broke into my house and took all of my shit. A homeless person broke in and didn't want to sit in the dark. As I opened the door, I let out a small sigh of annoyance as well as relief as I saw the person sitting on my couch. "Haley? What the hell are you doing in my house?" Haley looked up at me with tears in her eyes. She looked fucking awful."I'm sorry. I just...I didn't know where else to go." She sobbed. "How did you get in here, Haley?" "The spare key. You told me where you hid it, remember?" She sniffled. "Haley, you can't stay here. You also can't just break into my house any time you feel like it!" I exclaimed. "I didn't break in! I had a key!" "No, you took the key. Listen, you need to leave. Anna is outside right n

    Anna POV"Get some sleep. We will be home soon." Ethan whispered in my ear. "I want to watch the plane take off, first." I yawned, barely able to keep my eyes open. "There will be many more trips, I promise." He said, kissing my temple and pulling me into his side. Phoebe was already asleep in the seat next to him. Ethan sat in between the two of us, wanting to be able to be near the both of us. "This was so much fun. Thank you for bringing us." I yawned. "Thank you for coming. Now get some sleep. I'll wake you up when we land. Do you want me to take you to your house or mine?" He asked. I want to stay with Eth. I don't want to be at home. I don't want to go back to the terrible reality. I don't want to see my dad. I don't want to have to worry about anything. I just want to sit with Ethan and enjoy my time with him. "Yours." I smiled, closing my eyes and leaning my head against his shoulder. “Anna, I love you." He whispered. "I love you, too. So much." I whispered back. I fel
