My Cinderella Story || e.d.

Chapter 27

Ethan's POV

Today, we got a call from the doctor saying that I still have a big piece of glass wedged in my hand... after they had already sewed it up. So I have to go back and get hand surgery.

Once I got home, I decided to FaceTime Jordyn to check in with her and make sure she's okay.

"How're you holding up?" I asked.

"Hangin' in there. How's your hand?"

"There was a piece of glass still in it so I had to get hand surgery."

"Ethan..."

"Graduation's on Wednesday." I quickly changed the topic.

"I should get packing then."

"When do you leave?" I asked.

"Within the next two weeks..." she trailed off.

"You're kidding."

"I wish I was."

"How long's the drive?"

"I don't know. Maybe 3-5 hours? Depending on traffic." she shrugged.

I sighed, "you think we're gonna make it?"

"Why would you ask that?" she was taken aback.

"Because a lot of long distance relationships don't work out."

"Who said we were gonna be one of them?"

"If we do break up, and I'm not saying we're going to, I want you to know that I'm okay with you moving on. I just want you to be happy."

She looked at me seriously, "Ethan Grant. Quit thinking the worst. I'm still here and we should make the most of our time together. However, if we do break up, I want you to know that I'm okay with you moving on too. Okay?"

I nodded, "okay."

"Let's go do something, to lighten the mood. We're being so emo right now and it's barely 4. It's not emo hours yet." she suggested.

"Right now?"

"I wanna make most of our time while I'm still here."

"We still have two and a half weeks."

"Okay you don't wanna spend time with me. Got it." she pretended to be offended.

"What would we do?"

"Umm..."

"Jordyn can we hang out instead?" Grayson walked over.

"Downskies." she said.

"We can do a little picnic in our new kayak."

"Yeah just take my girlfriend away from me."

"She and I haven't hung out in the longest time. So shut up."

"When the hell did you guys get a kayak?" she looked at me.

"A few days ago." Grayson replied.

"Anyway, my arms are small so you can do the rowing."

"And you'll feed me."
