Ch. 1

Ethan and April pull away from the kiss. Both smiling and trying to search their brains for the words to say. April had always feelings towards Dr. Choi as she called him even way before her and Tate where together. But, she always thought he wasn't interested in her. But, after the night they had last night which was amazing. The feelings she always had towards him came harder towards the surface. She was also so zoned out she didn't even realize he was speaking to her.

"April do you want to get out of here?" Ethan asked her for the third time.

"Yeah, sure." She says hearing him finally.

He smiles as he holds out his hand. She gently places her hand into his with a smile letting him take it. They both walk over to his car not caring who sees them. Maggie notices from afar and just smiles to herself. He helps her into his car before getting into the driver side.

"You want to go to my place again?"

"Yeah sure. I would love to." She smiles.

He starts to drive to his house and all she could do was keep looking at him finding it hard to believe that she was in his car and heading over to his place for the second night in a row. She has succeeded in getting him to come to her brother party things like that never worked to her advantage. Suddenly she was snapped out of her thoughts by her stomach growling which made Ethan look over and smile.

"I see someone is hungry." Ethan smiles at her.

"Yeah, sorry it's the nerves getting to me."

"Nerves? What are you so nervous about?"

"Seeing if my plan would work?"

"Ah, and what was your master of a plan?"

"Getting you to come to my brother's party."

"Oh." Ethan blushes as he is shocked. This means that she likes him as much as he likes her.

"Do you want to stop and eat? Or would you like to order out and eat at my place again?"

"Eat in again." She smiles

He nobs with a smile and heads to the Chinese place they went to last night and gets some food to go. They then head to his place. Once they arrive inside his place he takes her coat and put it inside his coat closet. Then he heads to the kitchen and opens the cupboard pulling out some bowls as he talks like a excited child.

"Do you want to just eat out of the box or would you like a bowl?" as he shuts the door to the cupboard holding two bowls. He was confused we he just saw her standing there in the entrance of his place still.

"April come have a seat" he motions to the couch sensing that she was very hesitant.

"Dr. Choi I think I made a mistake. I don't think I am ready for a relationship yet."

"It's Ethan….We aren't at work so please call me Ethan." Heck she could call him Ethan at work it wouldn't bother him.

"Dr. Choi I can't do this my relationship with Tate is still fresh. I can't risk letting someone back in and letting them…"

"Abuse you again?" Ethan finishes her sentence.

"Excuse me, how did you know?" she worked hard to hide that from the people at work.

"I saw the bruises and grab marks that you were trying to hide. I also determined it was his fault you lost the baby. Let me guess he found out the baby wasn't going to thrive in his opinion. So he hit you so many times that it forced a miscarriage."

"How did you notice that?" she says as tears are running down her face.

"It's because I have also noticed you the last couple of years. Long before Tate. Every time you come into help me my heart skips beats and when I saw you start to come to work with bruises and grab marks I wanted to take you away from all that. But, I just knew you would deny me because I don't have much to offer you." He said instantly regretting it and hoping his brain would quiet telling mouth to talk.

"I have to go, I just can't I am so sorry." April said just standing there stunned.

"Let me show you how love is supposed to look?" Ethan says approaching her.

"I can't I am sorry." April says going to get her coat.

"Okay, let me at least get you home safe."

"No, I will just call an Uber." she says quickly leaving.

He stood there stunned and upset. He opened up his heart to the girl he truly loved but he needed to try to work on showing her that it was okay to open up again. April meanwhile walked out into the crisp air and was using her phone to request an Uber. When suddenly she fleet someone behind her.

"Hey pretty lady" a deep man's voice says.

"Leave me alone, I am just waiting for my ride."

"Na, I am good." He says pushing her against the wall. When she fights back he punches her.

She tries to scream and fight him off. But he puts his hand over her mouth. He forces her pants and underwear off her and forces himself inside her. While he puts his hands up he shirt and grabs her boobs so hard she screamed through his hand out of pure pain. Once he finished his deed he slammed her head against the wall causing her to pass out.

"Hey! Leave her alone!" Ethan says running up to the man. He had gone outside to see if he could talk to her.

The guy decides to just run away.

"April wake up." he says noticing how bad of shape she is in. He reaches for his phone calling for a medic.

Once he finds out the medics are on their way he hangs up and stays holding her.
