Author's Note: Chapter 4! Read/Review Hope you like it. this ch. we get into when how Ethan and Kristina started. :)
Ch.4
The next morning...
I woke up, finally feeling good, better than i have since i left PC. I now knew the truth and maybe me and Ethan have a chance together. I just have to figure out who set him up, but who would? and Why? I'm sure i have my work cut out for me, since Ethan is a con artist who sorta works for the mob he probably has just about as may enemies as my father. i got in the shower, and then called Spinelli.
Kristina: Hey Spinelli, its Kristina i was wondering if you could help me.
Spinelli: Oh Kristina, i heard you were back in town, what can i help you with?
Kristina: Can you help me figure out who set Ethan up?
"You have to understand the camera footage is over 3 years old i may not be able to access it." Spinelli told me
"well just try, and get back to me" i said leaving Spinelli's apartment he finally moved out of Jason and Sam's place. i got a call from Ric.
Ric: Hey Kristina, i'm just calling to check up on you, i haven't heard from you since you left.
Kristina: yeah sorry i've been busy, oh i have something to ask you
Ric: what is it?
I told him what Ethan told me yesterday.
Kristina: Your an attorney i was wondering is there any charges you could press against someone for doing that? or any legal action that could be taken?
Ric: Nothing illegal was done so i'm sorry Kristina, theres nothing i could do to help you get back at whoever did this to Ethan.
Kristina: It's ok i'm sure me and Ethan can think of something we just gotta figure out who it was first of all.
Ric: Ok well, i have to go. Talk to you later
Kristina: Alright bye
I hung up.
"Your about to experience that wider world i've been telling you about." Ethan said
"Nothing with you turned out the way i wanted, i never got you for a boyfriend, i never made you fall in love with me. You could have hated me i gave you plenty of reasons, but instead you saved me. More than once." i said
"Well i admire you Kristina, your resilience and your courage and the way you follow your heart no matter what. Although it was a mistake to follow it to me as you'll soon find out." Ethan replied
"Don't count on that." I muttered
"Look i..uh..i got you something"
"A friendship braclet" i said i was disappointed, i wanted more than to be Ethan's friend, but i guess thats all he wanted from me. All he would admit to anyway.
"Kristina, i-i have to tell you i have to, this could be the last time we see each other. Who knows by the time your back from Yale i could be gone, so i'm just gonna say it, tell you how i feel." Ethan murmured
"what is it?" i asked
"I...well i've been lying to you, not just to you to myself." Ethan explained "I-i care about you. i don't want to be friends...i..i want more than that."
"Ethan,what do you want?" i questioned
"I want you Kristina, i want to be with you, i-i want to kiss you." Ethan told me i couldn't stop smiling this is the kind of thing i wished Ethan would say to me, and now...now it was finally happening. i was finally hearing Ethan say the words i only dreamt about until now. Finally after all this time he was admitting his true feelings, but i'm leaving. Yale, i couldn't go not now.
"Finally" i smiled "do you know how long i've been waiting for this. For you to finally admit you had feelings for me. for you to realize you felt the same way i do."
"Hows that? how do you feel Kristina?" Ethan asked
"I don't just have a crush on you, i have real true feelings for you. i love you." I whispered "and how do you feel?"
"I don't know anything about love, but i...i know that i'm- i'm falling in love with you, for the first time in my life i feel like i can be completely honest with someone, with you. I don't have to hold anything back." Ethan said
"I know how you feel. I feel like i can tell you anything, that i can trust you completely." i said
we were close,our faces only inches away. Ethan looked at his watch.
"You should probably get going" he said
"I'm not going" i replied "not now." i pressed my lips against his, kissing him softly. letting the kiss linger. he pulled me close kissing me gently at first, but then more intensely. i didn't notice my mom come into the foyer.
"Kristina." Alexis said as she walked into the foyer. Me and Ethan pulled away from one another, hoping she didn't notice we were just kissing.
"I should go.."Ethan murmured
"bye" i replied and Ethan left
"What was going on out here?"
"Mom, i'm not going to Yale." i blurted out
"What?" she exclaimed "what do you mean your not going?"
"I'm just not ok." i gulped i hope she doesn't argue with me on this after all it is my decision .
"Its Ethan isn't it?" she asked " i don't want you involved with him Kristina, hes just a crush ok you'll get over it. don't let a this hold you back from doing something great with your life. he just a guy, hes not worth it."
"how would you know!" i said " you don't know anything about me and Ethan's relationship. he isn't holding me back!"
"Its not gonna last Kristina, relationships never do at your age."
"I don't care, i'm not going! thats it!" i yelled walking out.
I went to the haunted star.
"Hey Ethan" i said walking over and sitting down at the bar
"hey" he replied
"I got Spinelli to help try and figure out who set you up." i told him
"I hope he can find something i couldn't" Ethan said
"yeah me too. i really want to find whoever did this." i said "Ethan, i'm sorry."
"For what you didn't do anything" Ethan responded
"I'm sorry for not not giving you a chance to explain, for being such a bitch towards you." i said
"Its okay really, i don't even know how i would feel if the situation were reversed. I'd probably be the same way you were." Ethan said "You didn't know, but you do now so its ok."
"I'm glad you could forgive me, and i just want this whole misunderstanding behind us" i said
"Me too, i really hope that we can just start over." Ethan replied "of course i could forgive you Kristina,I love-..." i tried to hold back my smile, but i couldn't he almost said i love you.
"Well i just wanted you to know Spinelli's helping now" i said smiling "I'm gonna be at GH with my dad, i'll talk to you later."
"Ok...yeah talk to you later." Ethan said
"Dad its me again, i've been coming here everyday almost, but you should know that right. You can hear 's been here too, i don't even know if shes left. I know your gonna make it, you have to. So i know you never liked Ethan and probably hated him ten times more when he broke my heart, but he was set never would have actually cheated on , wake up,please i have something i need to ask you. i need to know that you had nothing to do with it." i sighed this was going no where, nothing was changing. Damn it. Just as i was about to leave, he grabbed my hand.
"Dad? did i just imagine that...?"
"You didn't imagine it." Sonny said
"Your awake! Oh i should get a doctor and i gotta tell everyone!" I said
"Kristina, what are you doing back?" he asked
"I came back a little while after mom told me you were in a coma" i explained
"Its great to see you, i missed you"
"Ditto. So...i know you just woke up and all, but i really need to ask you something." i murmured
"what?"
"Did you set Ethan up? make me think he cheated on me so i would break up with him, i know you never liked Ethan." i said
"Huh? what are you talking about Kristina, the son of a bitch broke your heart, why are you even bringing him up?" Sonny asked
"Yes..or No" i said "Answer the question"
"I had nothing to do with it, i wouldn't do that to you no matter how much i disapprove of the guy your with."
"Okay, i really glad you had nothing to do with it" i said "Well i'm gonna get a doctor for you"
"Alright"
A few days later...
"Spinelli have you found anything?" Jason asked Jason decided to help me and Ethan instead of Sam, he basically doesn't want her to do anything. overprotective much?..anyway so we have me, Spinelli, Ethan, Jason, Johnny and Molly said she'd help far we've got nothing...
"I've been looking over the tapes. Nothing of interest has come up" Spinelli replied
"So is that you nice way of saying you haven't found anything." Ethan sighed "I'm trying to think of anyone who would do this, but i've got nothing."
"We've got nothing" Jason said "we aren't any closer than we were a few days ago."
"Ok so lets see who in Port Charles could have done this" Johnny said "I doubt its someone who lives that far from here."
"I think the mob prince is right, they must live close" Spinelli said
"Are you sure about that" Molly said
"Well if they didn't then how would they know of Ethan's relationship with Kristina?" Spinelli replied
"good point" i said "so then who could it be"
"Sonny's already out" Jason said
"So who then?" Molly asked
"Not that many people hate Ethan in PC" Johnny said
"Oh thanks Johnny." Ethan said sarcastically
"Helena!" I said
"How did we not think of this before." Molly said
"It never even crossed my mind" Ethan muttered
"It definitely sounds like Helena" Jason said
"But she wasn't even here then" Molly said "She was in Paris"
"That doesn't mean she didn't orchestrate the whole thing" Spinelli replied
"I think we ought to have a conversation with Helena" I said
"If we can find her." Johnny said
"Yeah, i'm not worried about that, but what happens when we do exactly" i asked
"Pushing her off a cliff sounds like a good idea to me." Ethan responded
"Oh great plan Ethan" Johnny said
"I know. I was being serious" Ethan said
"Okay..." i muttered "anyway seriously what are we gonna do?"
"Something legal" Jason said
"What i could make it look like and accident" Ethan said
"Yeah...were not gonna do that" i replied
"I've found Helena" Spinelli told us "Shes here, shes in Port Charles"
