It's funny how you don't notice the little things sometimes. When there's something right in front of you, you spend so much time with your attention elsewhere, never truly noticing the beauty in the little things. Take waking up, for example. It's such a normal, mundane thing. You open your eyes s
I buried my face in the nook of his neck, inhaling his scent. He smelled so clean, with a deep, earthy scent that made me want to lick his lips exposed neck. He was so warm, and I never wanted to leave this spot. "Do you think he is plotting something?" I asked. "Better safe than sorry," he said.
After breakfast, Ethan said he had to run home for a few minutes before he would come back and pick me up. I was sad to see him leave, but I had to get ready for our date so I quickly rushed back to my room to get ready properly. I was in the middle of picking out the right outfit when Rachel walked
"Honey, you look absolutely stunning," Rachel said. "If Ethan isn't eating out of your hands by the end of today, call me Dolores Umbridge."We both laughed, just as the doorbell rang. My heart immediately started to beat wildly in my chest, and I didn't know how to react as Rachel rushed to open th
Ethan led me to a black Rolls Royce Cullinan parked across the street, drawing the attention of a few teenage boys who had gathered around it and were staring like they’d just seen the Hogwarts Express train. “Why are boys so obsessed with cars?” I asked, and Ethan turned to me with a funny look in
“Before you say anything, I’m perfectly capable of flying us there,” Ethan said. “I took flying lessons when I lived in Germany for a year.”I couldn’t even bring myself to speak. I just stared at him with a dumbfounded expression, allowing him to lead me towards the helicopter. It looked so massive
I forced myself to glance out the window, and as I saw the ground moving away so quickly, I felt like screaming. Normally I wasn’t afraid of flying. But that was when I was in a plane. In the helicopter, it felt like I was floating hundreds of feet in the air, in a very thin piece of metal that coul
It was funny how one simple thing could have changed the entire course of my life. Sometimes, we don’t even realize how easily our lives could have followed an entirely different path. One small change, and you would become an entirely different person. Ethan reached over and took my hand in his, a
Ethan ended up taking longer than we expected to get discharged, and he ended up staying in the hospital for two weeks. During that time, he had to get a lot of therapy so he could move his left arm again, because some nerves had been damaged and they needed to heal properly. I stayed with him the
MARCUSI swear I could smell the pig even from outside the door. My blood was boiling even before I walked into the room, but it took a monumental effort to keep myself in check. I had to be quick. It shouldn't take longer than five minutes. Thankfully, the cop standing by the door didn't say anyth
“I know enough,” she said. “I knew her even before you did, Ethan. And I’m telling you, she’s nothing but trouble. What happens when she gets what she wants? What happens when she takes everything you have? Do you really think she isn’t a golddigger who is just trying to get close to you for your m
The first thing on my mind when I woke up was Ethan. I bolted out of bed instantly, and I had to grip the bed frame as I swayed and nearly toppled to the ground. I felt like my brain was trying to explode from my skull, and the ringing in my ear was constant. I had to sit down on the bed once again
Everything else that happened was a blur. All I saw was red, and I just wanted to hurt him. It wasn't until he passed out that I finally let up on him, taking a step back and turning to face Liv, who looked absolutely petrified. That was the last thing I remembered before passing out. "Where is tha
ETHANThe first thing I heard was the beeping. As I tried to open my eyes, a blinding pain shot up my entire body, and I almost couldn't breathe for a second. I felt like someone had smacked me in the face with a sledgehammer, and then gotten several bags of cement and laid them all over my body. I
“Forget them,” he said. “We’ll get you some new ones once we’re out of the country.”“Chris, listen to me,” I said. “Please, just let me do this. I won’t take long. You can watch me the entire time.”He stared at me with his eyes narrowed, clearly trying to figure out what I was up to. To be honest,
I saw the moment the gun went off, with the brief flash at the end of the barrel, while I threw myself entirely onto Chris' arm in an attempt to shove him out of the way. But the bullet had been shot, and I turned in horror to find Ethan falling to the ground. And in the moment, I felt like the worl
Oh, God!"Chris," I whispered, my voice barely above a whisper, “what happened to you?"He flinched like I'd slapped him, and his eyes darted down to the marks. "D-don't l-l-look at that,” he said, stammering as he stepped away from me, keeping the gun leveled at my head. "What happened to you, Chr
