A/N: Hey, there everybody! I'm back with a whole new chapter to A Lonely and Broken Life!
Things seem to be off to a good start for the happy couple, but soon things will start to go south for them. Not in this chapter, though! Lol! That will all take place in the next one after this. But for now enjoy the little romance shared between the two lovebirds as Sarah expresses just how she feels about Ethan. You're gonna love it! ;)
Shout outs to:
gamergal16- Thanks for favoriting and following this story! I'm always happy to have one more fan following/favoriting one of my stories!
TheBestOfHope- Now you got me all blushy blush! Lol! I'm happy that even though you're not really a big Ethrah fan, you still love this story. Oh! And there will be a Jesse POV, too. In fact, it's gonna happen in this chapter! And let me tell you, he's not gonna be too thrilled with what he learns in the next chapter. And as for Rory? Well, I have a plan for him that's gonna be quite the twist at the end of this story, in the up coming chapters. But I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while for that one. But he does get a mention in this chapter, though!
123456789vampire- I agree! I doubt he'll bring them any. Maybe an empty container that used to have cookies in it, until he couldn't help himself any longer and decides that he wants them now and only leaves Ethan a few crumbs! Lol!
TiredOfBeingNice- Lol! Well, if you loved that chapter. Then you're probably gonna love this one too. There's no sex in this one, but there will be a song. I read that story, too! Of course, it's been a while since I've read it and I kind of forgot about how the whole thing played out. I remember what it's about, but just not what events all took place in it. Maybe, I should do a refresher course. Well, if I do, I'm diffently not going to listen to My Heart Will Go On while reading it. I don't want to cry! Lol! But I'm glad you managed to "hold on" (Lol) and "never let go" (unlike Rose, who let go of Jack's hand. Lol) of your tears through the end. Lol! Oh! And...I hate to break this to you, but...Jesse finds out about them dating. SEMI-SPOILER ALERT! Lol!
LoveShipper- Lol! And unfortunately, though their little romance together won't remain a secret for long. Well, obviously they're gonna tell their best friends, but the one who Sarah really doesn't want to know about it, does! Argh! There I go again! Giving spoilers! Curse my mouth and overly excited brain! Lol!

Sarah's POV
" I can't believe that I just did that will him!" I thought to myself again, as I walk in through the door of me and Erica's apartment. As I walked in, I notice that Erica was home and was on the phone with someone.
"Really? I would love too!" she said into the phone, excitedly. Whoever, she was talking to, seemed to make her really excited about talking to them.
"Uh-huh...uh-huh...Oh! Hey! My roommate just walked in. Can I call you later?" she replied.
"Ok, then! Love you too, Honey Bear!" she replied happily with a small giggle. And then she hung up. I just stood there with a teasingly glare.
"Honey Bear?" I repeated as a question.
Erica giggled and then blushed at me. I walked on over to her and took a seat next her. "Ok, Sarah! You caught me!" she laughed. "I've actually been seeing someone."
My eyes got wide at that. "Who?!" I asked enthusiastically.
"He's name is Rory Rainer. I met him at the hideout. He's one of Jesse's new hires." he replied.
My face then fell into one of worry. "W-what?!" I stuttered.
"Relax, Sarah! He's nothing like the other thugs that Jesse hires. He's actually pretty kind, and sweet, and caring, and...a bit goofy, but he's also very loyal and lovable, too. He had just asked me to lunch tomorrow." she said to me, in a dreamy way.
I smiled at the way she had described him to me. Maybe, he's not so bad after all. But why would someone like him want to join Jesse's organization? Hmm...I guess maybe, to toughen up some, but there are other ways to try and toughen one's self, isn't there? Oh well! As along as he makes Erica happy, then I'm happy for her. Then the conversation turned towards me.
"So! Where has little Miss Sarah been going to each and every night after work? You didn't even come in last night." she said teasingly with a smirk. She obviously knew, but I just played along.
"I-I've been hanging out with Ethan at the bar. That's all." I said quietly, blushing a bit.
Erica's smirk then grew wider. "And what exactly did happened to you last night?" she said giving me a knowingly look.
My blush deepened. "I-I-I spent the night over at his place." I answered meekly.
"Hmm-hmm...Spent the night how, exactly?" he implied. God! I could just slap her sometimes!
"By...by...by having sex with each other." I answered meekly, again.
"I knew it!" she shouted. Then she gave me a big hug and was rocking me from side to side a little. "Awe! My little girl done found herself a man, finally! She's all grown up, now!" cooed Erica, teasingly. I just laughed at her sillyness. She let go of me. "So, how was it? Was he any good?" she asked, with that 'tell all' kind of look.
"Erica!" I exclaimed in a scolding tone. My cheeks were now burning with embarrassment.
"Come on, Sarah! We're both adults here!" she stated. "And judging by those extremely red cheeks of yours, I'd say that be a 'hell yeah'!" she accused with a laugh.
I nodded bashfully at her. "Actually, I even confessed how I feel about him." I added.
"Really?! Then what did he say?" she replied anxiously, getting into this topic.
I smiled and then said, "He said that he loves me too and that he wants to be with me." Erica practically squealed with excitement and I think that I may now be partially deaf thanks that squeal. But then my expression change from a happy one to a disappointed one. Erica saw this.
"What? What's wrong? Aren't you happy about it?" she asked concernedly.
I nodded. "Yeah. I'm really happy about, but...it's just Jesse."I said.
"Jesse? What about him?" she asked with a confused face.
"You know what he thinks about me. You've seen the looks that he's been giving me?" I replied. She nodded in response. "If he finds out that I've been seeing Ethan, he might go after him and try to hurt him. Or worse, Erica! I can't let that happen! Ethan's to sweet of a guy and I wouldn't be able to handle it if anything bad ever happened to him because of me. I love him too much for that to happen to him." I told her, starting to get a little hysterical and teary eyed.
"Hey, now. Everything is going to be alright, Sarah." said Erica, scooting closer to me to comfort me. "I'm sure you'll figure something out." she said soothingly.
"I already have. I plan on to continue seeing Ethan and I'm not going to mention anything about it to Jesse." I told her.
"Well, if that's what you want to do. Then I support you one hundred percent. And I won't even say word about it to Jesse or anyone else, either." she smiled.
I smiled back knowing that I can trust her. "Thanks!" I sniffled. "I don't know what it is, but I just feel like I can't afford to just let Ethan go. It's like if I did then I'll only slip back into that deep black hole that I was in, maybe even deeper. And I can't go back to that. Not ever. Not when I finally found some kind of happiness in my life."
"And you will never have too, again. I'm glad that he's the one who makes you feel happy cause it makes me happy just seeing my best friend happy." she said, resting her head on my shoulder. I smiled and then rested my head on hers.
Ethan's POV
After I got dressed and ate breakfast, I decided to check out the television and see what's on. Then I heard keys in the door and in came Benny. "Oh! Hey, B! How was your visit to your grandma's?" I greeted him.
"Eh! It was pretty ok. She mostly had me doing chores around the house for her. She told me, I wouldn't get any cookies until I did them. Typical grandma, I guess!" he huffed. I laughed at him, as he plopped down next to me on the couch. "So, how was your day yesterday?" he asked me.
I shrugged. "Oh! The usual! Work. Then hanging out with Sarah. And then confessing my feelings to her..." I answered, but then Benny cut me off.
"Wait?! You told her that you loved her?" his eyes were wide and had a look of surprise.
"Yep! And she said that she loves me back." I answered, happily. Then I think Benny just had a fangirl moment because he got super excited and wanted me to tell him everything. So I did.
Nobody's POV
Ethan and Sarah continued seeing each other and having their...little "make out" session in Ethan's bed. The two couldn't be anymore happier together, especially Sarah. But little did she know that that was all about to change. As a certain someone had noticed a change in her mood and had began to get very suspicious about it.
Jesse's POV
Hmmm...Sarah seems...different lately. She seems more happier and cheerier. Like she can't wait to leave the office after dropping off her money to me for the night. Whatever it is that has brought on this sudden change of personality in her, has to stop. I can't have my number one girl starting to gain more confidence in herself and will either try to leave me or go to the police about my organization and turn me in. Sarah's the best thing that's ever happened to me and I can't just let her walk away. Just then I hear a knock on the door.
"Enter!" I say.
In comes one of my guys. "You wanted to see me boss?" he asked.
I smile. "Yes, I did! I want you to follow Sarah. Somethings been up with her lately and I need to find out what." I explained.
"Sure thing, boss! I'm on it!" he says.
I stop him just as he's about to leave. "Oh! And take the new guy with you! He could use someone to show him the ropes around here and hopefully toughen him up some." I tell my guy.
He nods his head. "You got it, boss!" he says and then leaves.
I just sit back in my chair and prop up my arms on the armrests, with a wicked grin. "Soon. I'll find out just what exactly you are hiding from me, Sarah." I say to myself.
Nobody's POV
It was later that night and Sarah and Ethan had decided to go out to their favorite little bar together, which just so happened to be the one were they had their first drinks together at. They entered the bar and decided to take a seat at a table this time. The table was near the stage area. Tonight it was karaoke night at the bar. The two had ordered their drinks and began to talk.
"Karaoke! I love karaoke!" thought Sarah. "Maybe, I should get up there and sing something for Ethan? But it's been a really long time since, I've ever sang. Not since before my life became nothing more than a black hole, but now...now that's all changed. No longer do I feel so depressed and down all the time like I once did, thanks to Ethan. But instead, I feel a little bit more happier and...loved." she tought. "I think I'll do it! To show him just how much he means to me and how much I appreciate all he's done for me, even if he doesn't even realize it!" she concluded.
Sarah then got up from her chair. Ethan gave her a questioning look. "Sarah?" he said.
"Don't worry! I'm just going up on stage to do a little singing." she told him and then gave him a quick peck on the cheek before walking up on stage.
Unseen by the two, two guys had just walked in and took a seat at the counter. One was big and menacing looking, while the other was smaller and less menacing looking and had blonde hair. They order their drinks and then turned towards the stage and watched as Sarah selected her song and took a microphone. Their eyes seemed to be trained on her specifically.
"Hi, everyone! I'm Sarah Fox! And I'm gonna be singing Kelly Clarkson's 'Before Your Love'. I would like to dedicate this song to the one man who brings light into my darken soul each and every day. The one who makes me smile and reminds me what it's like to feel joy and happiness again. He is the love of my life and I love him for that. So, Ethan Morgan...I dedicate this to you!" she said into the microphone, with a gentle smile to him. She then blew him a kiss, as the music began to play.
I wonder how I ever made it through a day
How did I settle for a world in shades of grey
When you go in circles, all the scenery looks the same
And you don't know why
Then I looked into your eyes
Where the road stretched out in front of me
And I realized
She sang beautifully. Ethan sat there a bit stunned. He never knew that she could sing like that. He was memorized by her harmonious voice as he just sat there and listened.
I never lived before your love
I never felt before your touch
I never needed anyone to make feel alive
But then again, I wasn't really living
I never lived before your love
I wanted moe than just an ordinary life
All of my dreams seemed like castles in the sky
I stand before you and my heart is in your hands
And I don't know how
I survived without your kiss
Cause you've given me a reason to exist
She looked directly at Ethan, into his eyes, as she sang that part. When she sang, she was singing straight from the heart. All her feelings and emotions pouring out through her lips.
I never loved before your love
I never felt before your touch
I never needed anyone to make me feel alive
But then again, I wasn't really living
I never lived before your love
A single happy tear fell from Sarah's eye.
And I don't know why
Why the sun decides to shine
But you breathed your love into me just in time
I never lived beofre your love
I never felt before your touch
I never needed anyone to make me feel alive
But then again, I wasn't really living
I never lived, I never lived, before your love
She finished, as the crowd of people all broke out into an applause at her amazing performance. Sarah smiled gratefully to the crowd as she wiped the tear from her eye and took a bow. She then exited the stage and went back her's and Ethan's table. Ethan was standing, clapping as she approached their table.
"That was amazing! I never knew you could sing like, Sarah!" he exclaimed in astonishment.
Sarah cheeks grew red. "Thanks! I used to sing a lot when I was little. I loved it very much." she replied.
"Really?! Then why'd you stop?" he asked.
Sarah then looked down sadly. "Things...changed." was all she said, glumly.
Ethan then wrapped his arms around her waist and held Sarah close to him, smiling. "Well, whatever the reason was. I'm glad that you decided to sing again for me. I hope you don't stop because I would love to hear your heavenly singing again sometime." he said sweetly, before placing a kiss on Sarah's lips. Sarah smiled in the kiss and then kissed back.
"How about we get out of here?" she asked lovingly, as she broke the kiss.
Ethan nodded his head in agreement and the two linked hands together as they walked out, unaware that they were being followed.
A/N: So, what's going to happen next for the happy couple? And what will Jesse do when he finds out about Sarah dating someone who makes her happy? Will, Sarah's and Ethan's relationship survive or will it all come to an end? And will I ever stop asking all these questions in this author's note? Probably. But I do hope you enjoyed this very romantic chapter!
Until then, see you next chapter! :)
