"I'll be back." I said as I strode out of the room, grabbing my phone and keys off of the table. I quickly unlocked the car, threw my bag in the passenger seat, and jumped in behind the wheel. I drove out of the garage and through the streets of Seattle before pulling over onto a dirt road.When I stepped out of the car, I let out a deep breath. I rubbed a hand over my tired eyes and made my way over to the trunk of the car. I grabbed the bags and began carrying them over to the large house. I glanced down at the keypad, pressing the numbers that were engraved into it, causing the lock on the trunk to click open. I set the bags down on the concrete ground and climbed back into the car. I put the car into reverse and drove out of the driveway. I backed up slowly, checking all the mirrors to check for cars following me. Once I made it safely out of the parking lot I sped up, driving out of the neighbourhood. Once I reached the highway I slowed down and continued driving. I kept glanc

When I woke up next morning, I felt like absolute messed up. All my limbs felt heavy, as if they weighed a ton. I groaned in annoyance and rolled over, trying to find some comfort in the warm sheets. After about five minutes I decided to just give up on finding comfort because my body didn't feel any better. I slowly got up off of the bed and walked into the bathroom. I splashed cold water on my face, drying my face. I brushed my teeth and washed my face, then applied some moisturiser. I walked out of the bathroom and went downstairs to grab something to eat.I stood in front of the fridge, looking inside. There weren't any leftovers so I quickly went upstairs to make dinner. I cooked spaghetti and pasta for us both. After I had eaten dinner I went back into my room and climbed back into bed. The warmth of the bed made me sleepy and I drifted off into a dreamless sleep.I woke up a couple hours later to the feeling of someone touching my face. "Hey sweetheart, wake up." A husky voic

"Why didn't you call me tonight?" He asked me suddenly. His voice sounded slightly strained, like something was bothering him. "I wanted to give you some space." I replied. "So why did you wait so long?" He questioned, raising his head from my shoulder so he could look down at me. I shrugged lightly and looked up at him with my big brown eyes. "Maybe because...you're not exactly my type." I teased him teasingly. He chuckled and moved his hand up to my cheek. "Oh yeah? What is your type?" He asked, tilting his head to the side. I smirked and leaned forwards, pressing my lips against his. When I pulled back a few seconds later, I licked my lips and gazed into his gorgeous grey eyes. "Someone who won't break my heart and won't leave me for someone else." I answered, tracing my finger along his lips."Good answer." He responded before connecting our lips again, deepening the kiss. After several minutes of making out we eventually pulled away and rested our foreheads together. "You

The drive to school was filled with silence, neither one of us wanting to break the comfortable silence. After about twenty minutes we arrived at the school and I squeezed Ethan's hand softly, signalling that I wanted him to let go of my hand. He sighed heavily and slowly lowered his hand from mine, but kept his hand placed firmly in my own, gripping my hand tightly. I stared out the window as we pulled into the parking lot, taking note of all of the students making their way into school.We both unbuckled ourselves and exited the car after grabbing our bags from the backseat. As soon as I closed the door I realized Ethan wasn't beside me anymore. I looked over my shoulder and spotted him talking to a teacher by the entrance. I shrugged my shoulders before turning around and making my way into the building. I stopped walking when I saw Ethan stood in the hallway holding a stack of papers, obviously waiting for someone. He turned around when he heard my footsteps and grinned widely w

But last night Ethan seemed like he hadn't slept a wink. When I'd gotten ready for work today I had walked into the bathroom to brush my teeth and realized that there were dark purple circles under his eyes. Like, big ones. I knew something was definitely up when I walked past Ethan in the living room. I could tell by the way that he avoided my gaze and the way that he pulled out the couch cushions and put them on the floor. I didn't push him though. I guess he had his reasons for doing whatever he was doing. Ge could tell me if he wants to tell me something. I've been nothing but patient with him. If he doesn't want to talk about what's bothering him then there's no point in talking about it. That's what I told myself.As soon as I finished my shower I rushed out of the bathroom and immediately made my way down the stairs. My parents were both seated at the table eating breakfast. They raised their eyebrows as I entered the kitchen and gave me an inquisitive stare. I ignored them
