CHAPTER SEVEN
SWEET GIRL

ethan pulled his car beside maggie's and got out, rushing over to the driver's side door. he opened the door and grabbed the girl's wrists which were covering her eyes as she cried.

"it's okay sweet girl." he embraced her in a warm hug and reached over to unbuckle her seatbelt.

"i'm so sorry ethan," maggie rubbed her eyes and pulled him back into an embrace. "i wish i would have listened to you. you were right."

"none of this is your fault. is it okay if i pick you up?" he asked and she nodded.

ethan picked her up as if she was the most fragile thing in the world. she wrapped her legs around his waist as he rubbed up and down her back.

"i'll get izzy to come get your car." he grabbed her backpack in his free hand and locked her car.

on the way home, maggie fell asleep in the car, her head resting on the center console.

ethan could only seem to blame himself but the entire visit seemed harmless.

when they arrived at the apartment complex, ethan carried maggie up and laid her in her bed. he draped the cover over her body and shut the door on his way out.

ethan dolan
i need you to come
with me to pick
maggie's car up

isabelle
why can't maggie pick
her own car up? she's
got legs.

ethan dolan
elliot went crazy after
she told him she didn't
feel the same way
anymore.

ethan dolan
he assaulted her and
she made him get out
of her car. then she
called me to pick her
up and her car is
still in the parking
lot of some store.

isabelle
what?! i would never
expect elli to do that.

isabelle
is maggie okay?

ethan dolan
she fell asleep in the car
and now she's asleep
in her bed.

isabelle
okay, meet me
downstairs in
five.

ethan dolan
got it.

ethan's car
four o' three p.m.

     "why'd she call you, though?" izzy broke the silence.

ethan was driving while izzy was on her phone in the passenger seat trying to get a hold of elliot.

isabelle.
hey elliot.

elliot >:)
hey.

isabelle.
okay now let's
cut the bullshit.

isabelle.
why'd you do that?

elliot >:)
whatever maggie
told you is a lie.

isabelle.
i'm not gonna repeat
myself again. maggie
wouldn't do that.
ethan said he could
feel the bruise on
her head and nail
markings on her chin.

elliot >:)
you would do the
same if the girl
you're in love with
didn't love you
anymore.

isabelle.
maybe i would feel
the same but i wouldn't
do what you did! that
was literally assault.

isabelle.
you'll be lucky if she
doesn't try to press
charges.

elliot >:)
it was an accident,
isabelle. shut the
fuck up.

isabelle.
i am a very terrible
person when i'm
angry, you know
this elliot.

isabelle.
maggie's the one who
got me to stop getting
suspended from school.

isabelle.
so maybe.. you're
gonna stay as far
away from ALL of
us and get your ass
back to florida as
soon as humanly
possible.

elliot >:)
not until i talk
to maggie first.

isabelle.
you've done enough
damage already.

elliot >:)
if i get to talk to her
i'll reschedule my flight
out of manhattan to as
soon as possible.

isabelle.
fine.

"earth to izzy!"

ethan was waving his hand back in forth in front of her face. they were parked next to maggie's car.

"i said i don't know why she called me." he repeated himself.

isabelle huffed. "why didn't she call me first?"

"maybe i was the first contact she clicked on? she was crying, remember."

isabelle was upset her best friend contacted her roommate who she hadn't known for that long instead of her.

ethan opened his car door and gave maggie's car keys to izzy. "i'll see you back at the apartment."
