Ethan's Pov
"Are you sure it will just be a month?” Ethan asked Lauren in the other line while he is looking at her photo in the magazine. She is so hot in the photo because they made her wear her cheerleading uniform.
“ Yup, just a month babe. I miss you!” Lauren answered her boyfriend. It is their vacation before they reach their senior year in high school and her parents decided to have a trip abroad to let Lauren enjoy the vacation. Her parents want her to have a good time since she will enter a very stressful year when she became a senior. They are now visiting Lauren’s cousin who is residing in Las Vegas. Originally, their family is based in that area, but Lauren’s parents want to have her grow in this small town.
“ Hmmm. I miss you too princess,” Ethan answered still looking at her picture. He buys ten copies of this magazine just to show his support to his girlfriend. Lauren’s parents asked him if he wants to go with them but he is hesitant to leave her mother alone so he just declined the offer.
“ I miss kissing you,” Lauren added which makes Ethan’s shorts tighter. He cannot hide his fantasy for his girlfriend especially when she talks like this. She is such a tease and he needs to hold his patience longer or they might do something illegal. He can remember how he holds himself when she dragged him into the public restroom of the mall just to make out. He can still feel how soft her breast was that makes his member more alive and twitching.
“ Enjoy your vacation princess,” Ethan said before he gets the magazine and runs towards their bathroom. He needs to relieve himself again while looking at her picture or he will die because of the pain.
All summer Ethan spends his day helping his mother and learning everything because he needs to have a good grade to enter a university. He is scoring a good scholarship that will make her mother less worried about his education. So far, he is doing great at his studies and there is a big opportunity waiting for him if he will do better in his senior year.
He still communicates with Lauren before he goes to sleep, they will talk about how their day went but during the last week of vacation, she never answers the call or sometimes declined it. He tried to talk to her parents and they said that they will tell her to reached her but he didn’t see any shadows from her except the moment that he saw her on the first day of class in their senior year.
Everyone stopped including Ethan at their tracks when they saw Lauren striding to the gate of their school. Unlike before, her hair is cut in a short length and in ombre colors. She is wearing their uniform but it looks too fit and small to call it appropriate. Her face is full of make-up and her lips are too red because of the lipsticks.
Even the girls gasped at her transformation and praised how good she looks.
Ethan's blood boils looking at her girlfriend who ignored him all summer, showing like a hot wild chick. He tried to call her phone but he saw with his eyes how she just looked at it and declined it before flinging her arms to Megan, ignoring all of the boys trying to talk to her and welcome her.
He wants to confront her but he can’t find her and he needed to go to class so he leaves her a message that he will wait for her at the front gate after the class hours. Ethan keeps on thinking about her girlfriend and what happened to her that she showed up like that. He can hear boys admiring him and wanting her more because of her changes.
If before she looks beautiful and innocent, her presence right now told me that she became hot and wild. Ethan never pegged her to wear heavy make-up but what he saw is still new to his eyes. He cannot accept how red her lips are and how she ignores his calls like he is not her boyfriend.
“ Yow! Look at these—” one of the boys from his class said before showing something in his phone. He tilts his head to saw what he is talking about and his face contorts because of what he saw. In the video, his innocent girlfriend is drinking and dancing inside a bar. She is clearly having a good time dancing and drinking but what made him mad is not the idea of her drinking for the first time, but it is the view of her grinding and laughing at someone behind her back.
Ethan snatched the phone from his classmate's hands before scrolling down and watching every tagged photo and video of her girlfriend. He never keeps social media so he never knows that these photos existed. Videos of his girlfriend shaking her ass and dancing around are circulating the media, her photos with her cousin show how she dressed during the vacation. He stopped scrolling and curse under his breath when he saw one of the photos where she is only wearing a bikini at a foam party. She is smiling while looking at the camera, not minding that the guy beside her is touching her butt.
He controls his anger and called Lauren one more time but the bell rings and their teacher walked in front, starting the class. His classmates tapped his back and show sympathy but he didn’t recognize them because he is too angry right now. What happened to his girlfriend?! And why was she acting like a…whore?!
He didn’t focus in the lecture and his mind keeps on dwelling on the videos that he just saw. If this is just a dream, I want to wake up and know that it isn’t real because I cannot believe that she will do something like that.
EpilogueLauren’s Pov“ To be a leader, you need to be firm in your decisions. You need to show them the power that you---”I looked at Ethan and pinched her ears because of the things that he’s reading to our baby. He’s just 8 months old but he already mention, power struggle, mafia’s and other things.“ Argh.”“ Stop it babe,” he tried to get out of my touch while he’s protecting my baby bump using his other hand.“ I’ve told you to read fairy tales! A happy and infant books!” I’ve shouted.He’s really testing my patience because of the things the he’s saying. It was like during these times, he’s preparing our child to enter his world. It didn’t matter to me but I can’t just believe him.“ Okay, princess. Let me just kiss our baby boy, hmmm.&r
Ethan’s PovLove is patient…. that’s why I’ve waited for her.Love is kind….she forgave me for everything that I’ve done.It doesn’t envy, it doesn’t boast, it is not proud.It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrong.Wrath… it makes me do a lot of things. I thought I was betrayed by the only woman that I loved and the only thing that can help me to live my life is to resort in wrath. I let myself to be consumed, in wrath so I can have a will to live my life but the same wrath makes me do things that I regret, do things that is unacceptable.Looking at her right now, tears formed in my eyes. It wasn’t tears of wrath or agony but tears of joy while watching the love of my life walking down the aisle. Clearly smiling behind the veil that slightly covers her face. Her gown is beautiful but the one wearing
Third Person’s Point of view“ Prince Ethan!”“ Prince Ethan!”The young Lauren shouted while looking at Ethan at the floor. He’s sitting in the floor and doing something with all of the beads and strings.“ Yes, princess?” he asked, still doing something and not giving attention to Lauren, who is now pouting and crossing her hand to her chest.“ W-What are you doing?! Let’s play or watched.”Whining, she sit beside the serious Ethan. He just laughed and give her a glance because of how cute she is. They are supposed to be playing right now but Ethan is busy.“ What is that Prince Ethan?” Lauren asked while looking at Ethan’s doing his craft. He shows her what he did and Lauren is confused if what is it. Then Ethan held her left hand and tie the string in her ring finger.“ It’s a ring?” she asked and Ethan nodded
Ethan’s PovI always thought that I wasn’t lucky enough. That the universe is conspiring against me to give me all of the bad things in this life but I guess I am just pitying myself and I attracted luck to my side these days.Lauren is like a lucky charm. A medicine that drives me to heal and recover. Seeing her worried about my condition is painful.One month, it only took one month for me to recover. One month of regaining my strength, which makes the doctor beyond surprised. Being alive again isn’t enough to measure my luck, I recovered fast more than the statistics and research which makes the doctor more than impressed.“ I’ve told you that I will give you, your dream wedding!”I scoffed at Lauren because of how hard-headed she is. We are fighting, not exactly. We are having an argument about her gown. I’ve made an effort to call an international designer, a world-renowned
Third Person’s Point of View“ Do you think death is real?”Ethan looked at his girlfriend because of her sudden question. They are in their living room and watching a movie. Ethan is using Lauren’s lap as a pillow as he is lying down in the sofa. It felt like the most comfortable position that he’s been in his life. And looking at her, she seems to not mind.They just finished watching a movie where the main character dies, leaving his wife alone. Suffering from the sorrow while longing to her husband. It was a tearjerker and both of them shed tears while watching her agony. It was like painful moments of life and they ended up with a heavy heart.Ethan doesn’t know what to say. It’s like the movie starstruck him also. If death is real, does that mean that what happened in the movie will also happen to them?At a young age, they didn’t want to know. They mind cannot process everything b
LAUREN’S POINT OF VIEW. I’ve waked up with a heavy breathing, tears are falling right into my eyes. I wished it was just a dream. A bad dream because I cannot live my life if it is true then my eyes landed into my clothes. There is blood…. In my shirt, there is a blood. A stained of fresh blood and my tears flows heavily. I don’t want to think of it but I cannot help myself. Afraid of everything, I’ve stand up and walked through the hospital’s pathway. The white walls which I am always seeing is beginning to give me goosebumps. Where is he? I’ve cried with my thoughts. No. It was just a dream. I just saw him get shot and my hands….my hands just killed Megan. I pulled the trigger to protect Ethan but I was late. Too late. “ Where’s Ethan?!” I asked in the first doctor that I saw. He looks shocked and confused for a second. Until, he guides me to a certain room. Four men wearing black suits is guarding the door and
