Chapter 24: Ethan’s Dilemma

(Ethan's POV)

Not Edited

Three days had passed. Three long days had passed and I haven’t been able to see her beautiful face. Three long days had passed and I haven’t heard that soothing voice. Three long days had passed and all I wanted to do was hold her.

Three days had passed and  my heart yearn for her.

I was officially whipped and it sucked.

I signed running my hands through my hair. How could less than in twenty four hours I could be with the girl of my dreams and then break her heart the next second. I closed my eyes and all I could picture was her broken face, and it just made my heart ache. Her gorgeous face was covered with tears, and I had to restrain myself from not wiping it for her. I just wanted to hold her in my arms and tell her that ‘everything was going to be okay’, but that wasn’t the case. It wouldn’t be okay.

It would never be okay. Naina was getting married, and she didn’t even have the nerve to tell me. She claimed to have forgotten, but how could something as big as an engagement slip her mind. I feel liked she played me.

Man I feel like a girl.

I walked through the grass to the one place I always go to clear my thoughts. The one place I go to figure out my problems. My mom.

I eyed the gravestone. Even though it had been two years since her passing, I always had tears in my eyes whenever I looked at the writing on her grave.

Molly Meyers

A loving mother and wife.

1968-2011

I placed the freshly cut daisies on top of her grave. I fell on my feet and began to go into deep conversation with my mother. Even though people say the dead can’t hear you for some reason I had a strong feeling my mother was always listening to me. Every second of every day.

“Hey Mom.” I whispered before I began my long speech.

“I came back from my Europe trip and let me tell you it was so dramatic. I can’t even wrap my head around what has happened the last few days. Mom I used the L-word. Can you believe that I told a girl and not just any girl remember Naina. Remember the first time you met her in eight grade after she accidently bumped in to you and how you told me that the way I looked at her was the same way dad looked at you, well that’s the girl I fell in love with.”

I took a deep breath and lay on my back next to my mom holding the grass as if I was holding her hand. “I confess my feeling to her like a little girl and she returns the same feelings back, but then I find out she is getting engage. ENGAGE! Can you believe that? I feel cheated on, but maybe her getting engage is for the best. Maybe she does deserve that punk of a loser. I know for sure she doesn’t deserve me. I am too messed up for my own good. She deserves a future. Even though she broke my heart as girly as it sounds she deserves someone who can and will give her future not a messed up kid like me.”

I said my final goodbyes to my mom and then I got up and drove home. Naina did deserve a happy ending and I know for sure she would never get it from me. My life was too messed up and she deserves a simple happy going life. I should just leave her. Maybe we weren’t meant to be and even though I wanted to believe that I couldn’t help have that annoying voice in the back of my head telling me that she was my soul mate.

***

Two hours its been two hours and my annoying sister wouldn’t stop blowing a stupid whistle. I swear I was going to strangle her if she blew that stupid…………

That’s it. I jumped off my bed and ran to the living room to see a blond little girl sprinting in circles blowing a familiar blue whistle.

“Kelsey!” I roared. My little sisters stopped running and dropped the whistle on the floor with wide eyes.

“Stop blowing that whistle please.” I tried to say calmly but failed when she ran away almost crying. I walked over to the floor picking up that shiny blue whistle. Where have I seen this?

“Really Ethan? Did you really have to make her cry?” My weary twenty three year old sister said as she made her way towards me.

“Well she was being annoying.” I  stated.

“Well your face is annoying but we still deal with you.” She responded. I rolled my eyes in return. I would never talked back to my sister no matter what she said to me because after what she sacrificed for this family I had no choice but to respect her.

“Where did Kelsey even get this?” I questioned. My sister looked at the whistle before her green eyes widen in shock.

“How could I have forgotten?” She said running her hand through her blond curls.

“Forgot what?” I asked as she went through the mail. Before I knew it she handed me a letter with the my name on it.

“A girl came by this afternoon looking for you. I told her you were out which you were. You were visiting mom, but anyways she look like she was in hurry, and she handed me this letter asking me to delivered it to you saying it was urgent. I am guessing it was important because her eyes were so swollen Ethan it look like she was crying for a long time.”

Naina.

My fingers began to shake as I slowly open the letter. Should I read it? What if it was a wedding invitation? What if it was her telling me everything that happen between was, was a mistake? I guess I owe it to her to read the letter because knowing her parents it probably was close to impossible for her to come over my house and deliver it in the first place.

After my sister left the room I finally began to read the letter absorbing each word.

Ethan,

I am not even sure if you are reading this letter or not, but if you are please don’t crumble this letter up or burn it till you get to the end. Ethan it is true I am getting engage. It is true that I knew, and I know how much you hate me right now I wouldn’t be surprised if you never wanted to see me, but Ethan you have to believe me when I said I was in love with you. You have to believe me when I said I honestly didn’t remember about the engagement. I always knew I was going to have an arrange marriage, but I didn’t know my parents were actually going to have my engagement before I go off to college I thought it was a bluff.

Ethan when I told you I loved you I meant each word. I love you Ethan so much that it pains me to know that I won’t be your bride, but some creeps instead.  Ethan I love you so much, and I know its real because its feels  like I have the final piece of the jigsaw puzzle because before I met you I felt incomplete, but when I found you I felt that piece that was missing my whole life was finally found and complete.

Ethan all I know is that I want to be with you for the rest of my life. I don’t want this to be some sort of stupid summer fling I want this to last forever.

Your Naina

Ps: You told me that if I ever need you that I could blow this whistle and you would be right beside me being my superman. Well I am blowing this whistle loud and clear so please be my superman and fly here and save me. (Chapter Seven)
