Dsiclaimer: Everything still stands as before!
When I woke up Sunday, it was around 1pm, Tatiana was gone, there was another set of clothes waiting in the bathroom for me again. I smelled something being cooked outside on the grill. Who ever was cooking knew what they were doing. I decided I had better get showered, dressed head back to the "HELL HOLE" the place that is suppose to be my home. I didn't want to go there, I knew the second I stepped into the door there would be argument with either one my so called parents, or both. I wasn't looking forward to it to be totally honest. I loved being here with my new family and friends. I started to wonder where everyone was. I jumped out of the bed walked over to the window, I noticed Emmett, Timothy, & Jasper, Edward were talking ,They all looked up at me and I nodded my head. Timothy yelled up to me
"Hey Ethan, shower come downstairs hang out with us! there is no one here but us guys!"
"I'll be down in few, Thanks"
I went to the bathroom, turned the shower on let the room fill up with steam…I just wanted the hot water to hit my body, I wondered where Tatiana was? Maybe she was with Nessie? Or she went home to change clothes, but I knew missed my girlfriend. I took my clothes off, opened the shower door , stepped into the hot shower, the water felt so good hitting my body. I washed my hair first, then started to wash my body, thought of Tatiana started to fill my mind, I wondered what life would be like after I was turned immortal. Would it be the same? Where would all of us move too? I didn't have to worry about leaving siblings behind. I was so far into my thought that I didn't even realize the water in the shower started to get cold. I turned the water off, stepped out grabbed my towel and went into the room to get dressed. I hurried up, so I could join the rest of them outside. I raced down the stairs knowing they would hear me coming, I opened the door outside Emmett & Timothy , Jasper were wrestling, Edward, Jacob were watching discussing cars, movies, & music.
"Bout time Ethan, we wonder if you were having second thoughts about joining our world" Timothy walked over to Ethan.
"No I have made up my mind, and it's official, I really care for your sister, just as much as she cares for me. I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. By the way where are the ladies?"
"Well, Bella, & Esme went to see about some houses, plus Bella wanted to see if she could catch Angela scent, she is hoping her shield is down so they can meet...After that Esme & Alena are grocery shopping, for here both places, since your family now Ethan, You should pretty much know where the other five are?"
SHOPPING! All the guys yelled.
Yes that's right SHOPPING, Alice see's a sale if there are any women who don't have plans there hers. I think my pixie sister would buy fashions designers if she could, not just their clothing but the designer themselves." Edward spoke
"So is this something I should know be prepared for with Isabelle & Tatiana?"
"Preparing when it comes to shopping especially vampire women who love fashion is a lost cause Ethan my man." Emmett placed his arm on him.
You see Ethan, your young, but telling a woman that she can't go shopping is like tellinga man he can't have sex."
Jasper, & Edward rolled their eyes.
"Wait, so your telling me that IF, let's say I told Tatiana that she couldn't go shopping, and WHEN we get to the point of you know sex, she wouldn't have sex with me?"
"Pretty much, Ethan, I would never deny my Rosie a chance to go shopping neither would Jasper deny Alice, well he couldn't even if he tried. But I don't mind that my Rosie shops, cause she always bring something special back for the two of us,. But Ethan if Tatiana has addiction like Nessie, the rest of the Cullen-hale women who like to shop, Your in TROUBLE, cause make a over happens all the time. We never or barely wear things twice." Emmett explained to Ethan.
"Jacob is Nessie as bad as her Aunt?" Ethan asked.
"Nessie is combination of her mom & aunt. She wears the fashions her & Alice pick out. But when it comes to going to La Push, & hunting she is a jean & T-shirt girl."
"Ok, I guess I'll learn all this shopping stuff in due time. But right now I need to go home, at least let my parents know I'm alive. So they wont think I've ran away or worse. I'll be back before the ladies get home from shopping I wont be long."
"See you later Ethan, hurry back I'd hate for sister not see you when they come back." Timothy explained.
I waved bye, headed to the front door, before I made it to my car Edward was there. I wondered why he was out here, Did he know something that he didn't want the other to know about.
"What's up Edward? Is there something wrong?" I asked with curious look on my face.
" Ethan, I'm going to have Jacob & Seth follow you home in wolf form, the only reason I'm having them do this is cause I know why you don't want to go home. And If anything starts getting out of hand Jacob will let me know I'll be there before things get out of hand."
" Edward thanks but no thanks my mom is probably out still with some random guy, my dad is mostly likely sleep, I can get in out of there before he wakes up. If there is any trouble I'll just leave before it get's out of hand."
"I don't want you getting hurt, it would break Tatiana's heart. I made a promise to my wife that I intend on keeping. Just let Jacob, Seth follow you home. You would be doing me a HUGE favor."
Ok you win, let Jacob & Seth know I'm leaving."
"Ethan, no need their waiting in the woods they will follow but not too close. See you in little while"
I unlocked my car, noticed a note in the drivers seat.
Ethan, PLEASE LISTEN TO EDWARD! He is trying to keep us together, I would be lost without you. I'll see you when I come back from shopping. Yes I will have something for you. Talk to you soon !
XOXOX
Tatiana
I had to give it to the pixie Alice, see was only being a concerned friend. I 'd listen to Tatiana. I started my car up, noticed it was quieter, not only that the speed on it was higher then 80 MPH, Rose & Isabelle had been working on my car I'd have to thank them when I returned, I pulled out the Cullen's driveway hit the highway. I noticed Jacob & Seth on the side of the road. I live exactly 20 minutes from them. I slowed down when I reached my road. I hated going here. Seth ran to the other side of the house , Jacob waited for me by my room. I turned into the drive way, slowly, My mom's car wasn't there. Go figure, but no sooner then I stepped out of the car I smelled the rancid smell of the beer, and drugs. Crack had it's own smell it was horrible. I stalled going into the house. I knew what was waiting for me. As soon as entered the Hell Hole! I thought I'd better get this over with.
"Ethan?! Is that you? Where the hell have you been? Do you think you're an adult? Ethan! Answer me right hell now!"
I sighed, took a deep breath.
"Yes it's me, I thought I'd come let you know I'm fine, I was staying at some friends' house the past few days, I'm going back over there, were having a cook out Dad."
"Your not going any damn where! You have been gone running the damn just like that whore of mother you have. You two think you can come & go as you fucking please. That not that damn case! Besides, I need some money. I didn't get my unemployment check yesterday. I owe some people money. Now I know you have some, GIVE IT TO ME NOW! You lazy good for nothing bastard."
I stood there, I knew he was high, but off what I didn't know, The house was filthy, old beer, liquor bottles laid on the floor, the dishes hadn't been washed since I had last washed them which was Thursday, today was Sunday.
" I…Dad I don't have any money for you, the money I do have you know I'm saving for college."
College? YOU COLLEGE?! You couldn't even make the damn football team back where we just moved from, your saving for college? Ethan your going to be just like me. A damn drunk, and drug addict who is unemployed. Stop stalling BOY! GO GET ME THAT MONEY BEFORE I HANDLE YOU THE RIGHT WAY BOY!""
I closed my eyes, breathed in, started walking towards my bedroom, I could hear my dad yelling more and more, When I opened my bedroom door, Jacob was sitting in there.
"Jacob, How the hell did you get in here?"
He laughed.
"Just cause I'm a wolf doesn't mean I don't know a few tricks myself Ethan. Look your old man is higher then a kite, I don't think it's safe for you be here. Why don't jump you out the window, leave with us, Seth will push your car out the drive way & down the street. Then we can head back to Cullen's house."
Jacob, I can't, I have clean this house, if I leave it's only going to be worse when I come back home. I'll just give him some of the money, clean up this place and leave."
'Tell you what, I don't trust your dad especially in the state of mind he is in now. How bout I have Seth phase back into human form, we knock on your door. You have couple t-shirts we can use? This way if your dad tries something then Seth & I will be here to protect you. Deal?"
"Deal. Jacob? Thank-you man."
Oh one more thing Ethan, check your right pocket the money your dad needs in there."
I looked confused, I put my right hand in the pocket noticed 3 on hundred dollar bills. I wondered where they came from.
"WHO? HOW?! Alice!?
Jacob, didn't say a word.
"I don't know who did it, but when I was in wolf form Edward told me to tell you about it."
"Ethan, Tatiana's family knows your good guy, so do the Cullen's, myself included, we know your trying to save for college. If there is anything that I have come to learn being apart of the Cullen family, they look out for those they consider family & friends. Your both. What happens to you effects us all. Get use to it. I'm going out the same way I came in to let Edward know what is going on here. Seth & I will be at the front door in 10 minutes."
"Thanks Jacob, tell Seth the same thing too for me."
I waited for Jacob to jump out the window, then I closed it.
ETHAN YOU SON OF BITCH! BOY HURRY THE HELL UP! YOU ACT LIKE I HAVE ALL DAMN DAY! BESIDES THIS HOUSE SMELLS COME CLEAN IT UP BEFORE YOUR WHORE OF MOTHER COMES HOME!
I'm coming! Goodness, it's not my fault you the drug dealers money! Maybe you should stop doing the bullshit then you wouldn't be having to ask for money to pay them.!"
My dad walked up to my face, his eyes were dilated, the whites of eyes were red.
"BOY, YOU DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO! I'M YOUR FATHER, IF YOU EVER TALK BACK TO ME LIKE THAT AGAIN I'M BEAT THE LIVING LIFE OF YOU, IF YOU DECIDE TO HIT BACK, I'LL BEAT YOU WITHIN A INCH OF YOUR DAMN SORRY ASS LIFE. I SWEAR YOUR WHORE OF MOTHER SHOULD HAVE KILLED YOU!"
I was furious right then and there, I wanted to punch him in his face for saying the things he was saying, The only other person who cared about me were my grand parents. They were dead. I threw the money at him.
"There, Are you happy NOW?!"
Before he could answer there was a knock at the door, I already knew who it was. I ran to the door, before they could knock again.
"Jacob, Seth What's up?"
"Hey Ethan, We thought we stop by see how you been doing, Looks like you had a party here? Need some help cleaning up?" Jacob asked.
" Sure, guys the faster the sooner we can leave"
ETHAN, WHO THE HELL IS THAT? DON'T BE LETTING STRANGERS IN MY DAMN HOME!'
Jacob, Seth & I just ignored him.
"ETHAN WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY CAR KEYS!?"
"Maybe if you look in the kitchen on the counter you will find them."
"Seth & I will do the living room Ethan, You do the kitchen. The faster we get done we can leave."
I waited for my dad to leave out the door leading to garage, then I went started cleaning the kitchen. I was done with the dishes by the time my mom arrived,. She smelled horrible like a damn liquor factory, cheap perfume together. I was more afraid for Jacob & Seth then I was myself.
"Hi honey, Where have you been? You haven't been home since Thursday, today is Sunday."
" Hi mom, I've been with a couple of my friends. Two of them are in the living room cleaning, Were just about done, I'm going to go back with them. If that is ok? I don't have to work until tomorrow."
"Where is low dirty trifling sperm donor? Is he high? I can smell the booze."
"He left about 30 minutes ago Mom, You already know where he is going."
"Yes, I know. Ethan baby, I'm really am sorry your life hasn't been all it's cracked up to be, I'm really trying to find someone who will respect you & I, but mainly love us. I know I'm whore in your eyes especially your father's but I'm really am trying. Last night was last time drinking, I enrolled in AA, I'm signed up to start computer business/ secretarial classes in two weeks. There are jobs in Seattle, and if you & have to leave your dad, No WHEN we leave him I promise never to be like this again. Do you believe me Ethan?"
"Mom, it's not that I don't believe you, But if your serious this time I'm happy for you. It's time you woke up. Your a good woman when your not with dad, But when he comes around you get off track, it's not good mom. I want US to be happy even without him. I'll support you Mom, but only if your serious THIS TIME!"
My mom was crying, she never cried, So I knew she was serious.
"Ethan, WE deserve better then this, YOU especially, and I have to make that happen. You go ahead finish up cleaning , Are you coming home tonight? If so I'll go to the store buy a few groceries so I can cook breakfast in the morning for you before school, I'll have dinner ready too. I'll fix your favorite, Stuffed Rigatoni, with garlic bread, salad, for dessert you decide?"
"How about, Banana splits or Turtle Sundaes."
"Perfect. I have to get ready sweetheart, My first AA meeting is in an hour, my sponsors are picking me up."
"Ok mom I'll be home around 11pm, Good Luck Mom Love You.'
'I love you too Little E"
"Oh mom wait second would mind meeting my friends in the living room first?"
"Ethan , not right now, let me shower, if your still here I will, but right I don't want them seeing me like a street walker whose been out all night"
"I understand. Mom Please be careful when you come home tonight."
"I will, bye."
I walked out to the living where Jacob & Seth were. I didn't say anything no words to be spoken the three of us. They had a done a great job
"I'm ready whenever you guys are" I told them.
They both threw my t-shirts' at me. See you back at the Cullen's boys."
We made it back to the Cullen's house, Esme & Alena were in the kitchen talking.
"Hello Ethan, Jacob, & Seth." Esme & Alena greeted us.
" Hello Esme & Alena." all of spoke.
"The rest of the boys are in the game room." Esme told us.
We walked down stairs into the game room.
Jasper & Edward were playing pool, Timothy & Emmett were playing football on the Wii game.I decided to sit down just relax until the ladies came home. Jacob decided to join Edward & Jasper, Seth did the same with Emmett, Timothy.
"Ethan, I'm glad to hear your mom is taking steps to get better." Edward spoke
"Yeah I guess, I just hope she stays on track this time."
" I have a feeling she will." Jasper
"I really hope so."
After the guys finished playing the games we decided to watch a movie. By this time it was 6pm, We all decided on Transformers 1 & 2.….Only because it had action, and The one time hot actress in the movie was HOT back then. All of us were yelling, even Edward.
Half way in the second movie the girls arrived home. We heard coming downstairs, feared the damage that was done shopping. All the girls came into the room, sat on each of their mates laps.
"Well guys do you think we should go upstairs now or after the movie is over to see what they have for us" I asked.
"We should go now" we agreed.
We all were joking with on another, laughing as the girls talked about the shopping, even Bella had joined them at some point. Soon as we entered the living room all the couches. Half the floor was covered in bags of all sizes. I couldn't do anything but stand there speechless. I mean this was the type of stuff I'd seen on TV & movies.
" All the bags are separated in couples. His way we know whose is whose. Ethan since you have been staying , I thought it would be safe to have clothes here for you, as well as over at Tatiana's."
" Alice you didn't have to, by the way where are my clothes?"
"I donated them silly, You will only wear an outfit once maybe twice depending on who it's by….You're family now. I pretty much handle the fashions for everyone."
"Come on boys lets get your clothes put them up & we can spend time together" Tatiana spoke with excitement.
We all left the room carrying bags either to cars, or rooms. Jacob and I were demanded into a men's fashion for Nessie & Tatiana. While that was going on it was decided what I'd wear for the rest of week of school. We talked about the upcoming dinner & movie night this coming Saturday. But three us dreaded going to school tomorrow. Jacob laughed at us. Jacob told Bella he would try & track Angela while we were in school. Hoping she would at least recognize his scent. Bella was excited to hear Angela was a vampire. Time flew by before I knew it was 10:30pm I didn't want to leave but I knew I had to, I made a promise to my mom.
"Tatiana, sweetheart as much as I would love to stay another here, I can't. I made a promise to my mom that I'd come home tonight. Plus she is cooking breakfast, dinner for me tomorrow."
"I don't want you to go Ethan, Your dad is probably drunk an high off whose knows what, I 'd prefer you to stay here where it is safe."
" I understand your fear, but my mom is sober, she trying again. If my jerk ofa dad is wasted she has no fighting chance against him by herself. Yeah my mom has issues, but deep down she loves me, for some reason I believe her this time when she says she is going to make it."
"Promise me you will be at school tomorrow ethan, no bruises, scratches NOTHING!" Tatiana pleaded.
" I promise I'll be at school mark free."
"I have idea wait right here." Nessie spoke.
ALICE!!!!!!!! I need you here in Ethan's room!"
"Nessie what's going on? you disturbed me & Jasper. This better be important or you owe me some Para shoes.
"Alice, can you see if anything is going to happen at Ethan's house tonight when he goes home just make sure his asshole of a dad doesn't try anything ."
"Sure."
Alice stood there in blank stare, she laughed at first, then was quite. The a few minutes later she laughing again. We were wondering what was so funny. But we would have to wait. Alice smiled one last time.
" Ok, everything is going to be ok with & your mom this whole week, your dad & mom are going to fight tomorrow after you leave for school, but he doesn't harm her. She changes the locks on the doors, windows. Not only that but Tatiana your going to meet his mom this week on Thursday, along with Nessie & Jacob. Oh Saturday wear the dark blue jeans, sneakers Ethan along with a matching top. Nessie & Tatiana, Saturday during the day is going to be funny I can't wait to watch. Jake, tomorrow afternoon you will get our dear Angela tracked down but you lose her. But then we miss school Tuesday due to the sun. So we see her then."
WOW! Thank you Alice.
No problem. You better get going you will just make it home. Night see you tomorrow Ethan"
Night Alice. Tatiana walked me to my car. She stood in front of me, hugging me.
"See babe nothing to worry about. I'll see you tomorrow I promise. I'll be thinking of you the whole time were apart."
"Same here Ethan. I'll miss you."
Night… We shared a sweet soft kiss between each other.
Night Tatiana, I see you at school in the parking lot.
"Yes you will!"
I started my car drove the driveway until I couldn't see her anymore. I'd sleep well tonight knowing my mom & I were safe. Tonight & the rest of the week.
