After the long painful silent drive the car finally comes to a halt.
We both got out of Ethan’s car as I waited for him to get my luggage from his trunk and we both headed inside the building.
We finally arrived in front of his apartment and I decided that it’s time to cut the silence.
“I thought you live with your uncle or something?” I asked and he just replied with a shrug.
“I left a few weeks ago and finally rented this place for a new start” he said and I just nodded as we entered his apartment.
I was met by black leather two sitter couch in the middle and on the right hand side was a small kitchen and a small square dining table for four.
Ethan dumped my stuff inside the second bedroom and went out back to meet me.
“I only have two bedrooms, since I own the place I get the big one and you the small one,” he said and I just rolled my eyes at him.
I don’t know why but I’m suddenly tired.
“I’m gonna go to bed, I’m too tired” I told Ethan as I headed towards the second bedroom and threw myself on the bed and just like that I was out like a candle.
I suddenly woke up running around Ethan’s place for somewhere to throw up into and the only bathroom here happens to be in his room, so without any care if he was sleeping or anything I charged into his bathroom and threw up everything that my stomach had.
Oh god this feels like hell!
By the time I finally stop throwing up I only ended up going back on the toilet to throw up once more but this time I felt Ethan’s hand rubbing soothing circles behind my back as he held my hair up for me.
“You ok?” he groggily asked but all I could give an answer was with my vomit. After vomiting for I don’t know how long I finally managed to stop.
I got up and washed my mouth as Ethan looked at me with eyes filled with concern. “It’s probably something I’ve eaten” I told him but I knew that he wouldn’t believe me.
“Like I would believe that, you just got here and haven’t eaten anything and fell asleep and now you wake up in the middle of night throwing up!” he said as I try to avoid his eyes.
“Mare could it be…?”
“NO!” I cut him off not wanting to hear what he wants to say. I just couldn’t be…
Not now…
“Since when did you have your period?” he asked as I ignore him.
“What’s the point I never had regular period in the first place!” I exclaimed while he just stood there calmly.
“Well if it isn’t that, and not because of something you eat the probability of it is high!” “No…” I whispered as I can feel my tears freely flowing.
“Mare…” he walked towards me as he soothingly hugged me. I couldn’t…
I shouldn’t…
I don’t know anymore!
ETHAN
I held Mare in my arms as she cried uncontrollably, what on earth has happened to this girl while I’m gone?!
I don’t know how long I’ve held her until I realised that she cried herself back to sleep.
