Changes, For Better or Worse?
A/N-Thanks for the reviews. Keep them coming. And yes, I do feel loved! This story is wrapping up. I only have a few more chapters after this one, so I should get to finish it this weekend. Warning-This chapter is way short and not too exciting.
Chapter 14-Rolling Along
"I think I'm getting it Lizzie", Ethan yelled as he rolled by ever so slowly.
Lizzie smiled. She had been trying to teach Ethan to roller blade for the past two hours. Finally, he was starting to catch on. For someone who was so coordinated at other sports, she wasn't getting why this was so difficult.
"Lizzie HELP!" Ethan screamed as he somehow managed to trip over a crack, or maybe his own feet, and land on his already sore butt.
She couldn't help but giggle as she skated over to help him. "Well it's the thought that counts Ethan, you know that you wanted to do this for Miranda." Lizzie reached out her hand and pulled him up.
Ethan looked sheepish. "Sorry I'm so horrible. Miranda tried to teach me, but I think she finally gave up."
Lizzie shook her head. "Don't worry, you're getting better. You'll be fine. Just don't try anything fancy."
Ethan kissed Lizzie on the cheek. "Thanks Lizzie. You're the best."
Five months ago, Lizzie would have been over the moon if Ethan had kissed her like that. Weird. Now it was nothing more than a friendly gesture.
"You're welcome. Now c'mon---they should be here any minute. One more time around the path", she prodded.
Ethan nodded and set off hesitantly. He couldn't afford any more bumps and bruises today. As it was, he was going to wind up sitting on an inflatable donut for a week if he wasn't careful.
"Oh Ethan", Lizzie called out after him. "What about Kate and Claire? Are they coming?"
Ethan's smile turned devilish. "I told them I wanted to apologize and stuff and of course they ate it right up, so they'll be here in time to see the action. If only they don't see me crash and burn." "I think it'll be okay. You'll see." Lizzie was pretty sure of herself.
Ethan once more set on his way.
"Oh and Ethan", Lizzie called. "Good luck!"
