Truth >> Ethan Karpathy

4|

Bria's POV
It's been over a week.
Ethan and I still haven't spoke since he went off at me. I want to go and see if he is ok but in guessing he isn't because he hasn't been at school.

My mum has been beating me again. To the point that the bruises that are left behind are more painful than the actual beating.

I don't know if it's possible but I think I will apologies or try and make up with my mum. It's been long enough now and I want the past to be in the past.

Mum was in her room. I knock on the door and she lets me in. No screaming or anything involved.

She sits on her bed and starts to cry, I walk over to her and hug her. "It's ok mum" I say. She cries Into my shoulder. "I'm sorry... Look I'm not going to say some sappy speech about why I'm stopping but i think it's time we move on... I can't believe I actually did all those horrible things to you. I'm truly sorry..." She apologies. Wow I did not expect that. I was expecting something like 'get the fuck out you little shit' or something along those lines.

Mum and I hug it out. "Mum I made a friend..." I say. "Oh... Um... Ok" she replies. My phone pings and I see that it's Ethan. I ditch the conversation with my mum and check the text.

"Please come over! I want to talk... I kinda miss you"
I tell him I'll be over in a sec.

"Got to go I'll be back by 7pm ok?" I say. "Ok" my mum replies

I knock on Ethans door and he opens it. The first thing he does is hug me. "I'm sorry..." He mutters. "Don't be, I understand what your going through is tough... Just know I'm alway here for you" I smile.

Ethan signals up to his room. I walk up... and see its tidy... Wow... Really tidy. "I see you cleaned you room" I say in a shocked way. "Yeah" he stutters.

"Cool" I nod. We both sit on Ethans bed In silence. He turns on the The TV and puts Netflix on. "Netflix and chill I see" I smirk. Ethan blushes. "I was joking." I confirm. "Good..." Ethan states.

"Can we watch how I met your mother? I'm on season 2 and Proud of it" I ask. "Sure" Ethan replies.

We sit on the floor and rest our backs against the bed.

I try and focus on the Tv show but I can't. All I can hear is Ethans breathing. They were short littles breaths. Like the ones you make when you're crying. You know like in in in and out Instead of in and out. It was fascinating to listen to, kinda soothing really.

When the show finishes Ethan puts on a second episode.

His little breaths stops and Ethan sits there. "Ethan?" I say. I shake him and he melts.

After about 5 seconds starts moving again and pushing him back up. "Shit Ethan... You scared me. Should I get your mum" I panic while holding him up. "No just help me get into bed, I need to lie down" he demands.
"O-ok" I stutter. I help him stand up and then lie him down on his bed. He pulls the covers over him self. "Well, aren't you going to join me?" He asks.

I lay next to him and pull the covers over us. Ethan snuggles into me and smiles. "You make me so happy you know." Ethan croaks.
