Hi guys! Thanks to My world of Eli, my dedication for this chapter goes out to you! Had a allergic reaction to a flu shot, arm swelled up, wasnt pretty. Back and updating. I HOPE you guys like this chapter, and here I'm focusing more on Ethan than anyone else. Enjoy!
Ethan's POV
"Love you too." I say, and I put my arm around Alex. It's amazing how one girl can change your life. Katelyn and I don't talk to each other since our fight, and the longer I hang out with Alex, I realize how better the decision to be "shunned" by Katelyn is. Alex told me Katelyn's a setback, and she doesn't appreciate me. Though, Alex appreciates every single second I spend with her.
During school, I was walking down the hallway, with some of my new friends, Nataniel, Gage, Lucas and Jeremy. "I'm like, they fucking did it, shitbasket!" Gage recalls with his experience in the boiler room. "Ethan, have you gone down to the boiler room?" Lucas suddenly asks. "Yeah!" I lie. It's not going to look good if I say 'No, but I did do it on a bed.' Though that'd make me look like a major pussy.
"Who? Alex?" Gage asks. "No…Katelyn! Katelyn Burchfield!" I lie. Shit. When your parents tell you to never lie, because then you have to eventually come up with another lie to cover that lie, they have a reason why. Katelyn would never agree to this. She's a virgin. She's basically St. Kate. And my friends have a tendency to tell things. I say I did it with Katelyn, her Holy Saintness in the dust.
As soon as the bell rang, I took off, looking for where Miss Burchfield is. It's been a while since I've seen her, and talking to her, even worse. I looked at our old regular lunch table. The two of us would spend all of lunch together, laughing and playing around, not caring we're misfits, outsiders. Now, I care what people think, and I finally realize. I lost her. Alex changed me.
A hit of pain hit me, as I saw the empty lunch table by the 'Rising Stars Of 2040' poster, and my heart falls. Where is? I run. Run and run, until I bump into a figure. "JERK!" A familiar voice screams, and there turns around the Katelyn Burchfield. Her light brown hair, in light curls, her long bangs going towards the side, interlocking with her curls, and her flashing blue eyes. The very first thing that I noticed, the fact she was wearing makeup. Katelyn never wore makeup, believing that it screws up your skin and you don't need makeup to be pretty. Though, here she was, wearing blush, lipstick, eyeliner and eye shadow, wearing a white blouse, housing a big red stain her white sweater, consisting of her spaghetti.
"Sorry!" I apologize. "Looks like alcohol getting the best of you, bastard." Katelyn replied, and I cringed as she cursed. Katelyn was never a fan of cursing, but this was just plain different. "I'm not drunk, nor on a hangover." I scowl. "Oh, I thought you were out with your little groupie of sluts." Katelyn snaps. "What…what happened to you?" I suddenly ask. "Well what the hell do you think?" She mutters. "I have no clue who you are…you're different." I say. "We're different. You changed to, don't go blaming other people for changing." Katelyn scolds me.
"Wait happened to St. Kate?" I ask. "For the love of god, I CHANGED!" Katelyn screams, starting to walk off. As I heard her heels step to the ground, my heart falls. Alex did this. She ruined what was perfect in my life. From a A-B student, who always followed rules with his Saint best friend, to a D student breaking the law by drinking, smoking and taking drugs. I drive cars, without a license. I'm only 15. So, really what has happened? "Alex." I mutter, coldly, and stomp off.
Julia's POV
" Hunter! Come and take Devon to the babysitter! I yell , grabbing the carrier and getting the car keys. "Mom!" Nick calls, holding up his homework. "I'm busy!" Hunter replied, about stairs. The timer starts beeping, the chicken ready. "HUNTER!" I scream, setting the carrier down, setting off the timer. Nick was still calling for me to help him. "HUNTER JAMES MEYERS! Get the hell downstairs and help lead this damn family!" I order.
"Wait!" Hunter yells. "MOM! HELP ME!" Nick begs. Devon starts crying, and I just sigh. This family is getting way to messed up since Devon's birth. Hunter runs downstairs. "Come on, Devon, Daddy's got you." Hunter whispered, grabbing the carrier. "Bye, love y-" I say, but he's out the door. "You." I mutter, on the verge of tears. "Homework?" Nick pops in.
Zac's POV
"Bull's-eye." I cheer, shooting the center of the target "Nice, my turn." Isabella says, grabs an arrow, and shoots the 9 center. "Almost-bull's-eye." Isabella giggles, and I start laughing. This is what I've always pictured when Isabella was born. Just us, hanging out together. "Daaadddd!" Isabella laughs, as I'm tickling her furiously. "Isssaaabbbeeellllaaa!" I tease.
My phone starts ringing, and I stop tickling her. "Hello?" I say. "Z-Zac, p-lease come here, n-now." I hear Ethan through the phone. "Are you crying?" I ask. "J-just, please." He begs. "Stephanie! I'm going over to Mom and Dad's!" I call. "Got it!" She replies. "Come on, Dad. During father-daughter time?" Isabella complains. "Sorry. Tell you what. Bonus hour next week." I promise, and leave.
Ethan's POV
Time ticking, I wait for my two siblings to arrive. The door knocks, and I race for it. "Ethan!" Julia says, her face all red. We hug, and sit on the couch. It was a silent moment, that I liked. The door rang once again, and Zac's there. "Well, it's the crying musketeers." Zac teases. "Life is hell." I sigh, laying back on the couch. "We know, Degrassi can be pretty hard." Julia soothes. "Those 4 years at Degrassi was hell, but fun." Zac admits. "How the heck do you find it fun?" I question. "Well, not everything is dramatic, young Jedi." Julia says.
"So, what's the topic of drama, Jedi?" Julia says. "Why are you bringing that up, Yoda?" I intervene. "Touché." Julia mutters. "Girls." I reply to the first question. "Of course!" Zac gasps. "Excuse me?" I wonder. "Alex and Katelyn?" Julia asks. "Yeah, I love Alex, but today, I realized. Alex changed me. And it's not good. Katelyn…Katelyn hates me. She seriously changed." I explain. "Ethan, honey, look at yourself, a good look in the mirror." Julia teases. "Haha, I'm being serious." I get back on topic.
"We get it, life can be hell. You can get through this…I promise." Julia says. "I love you too." I croak. We all start crying, the three Goldsworthy kids hugging. I have to admit, I was involved with the drama Julia and Zac were going through when I was younger. Like Zac's suicide attempt. Whatever it takes, I know I can make it through.
Zac's POV
"Zac, 5…Bella and Jordan…2…BOOYAH!" I cheer, and Jordan rolls her eyes. "Oh, shut up." Jordan replies. The scene fades away, and I'm at The Dot. Sitting in front of me, is Jordan. "I'm so proud of you." She starts. "For what?" I ask, sipping some coffee. "For taking care of your daughter…our daughter." Jordan answers. "You made your way in life, two kids, a wife, a job, new house, everything. I'm glad you made it through, I was scared I was going to be the bearer of your life." Jordan admits. "Glad I moved on?" I asked. "Definitely, I'll always love you." She whispered, and kissed me. "Me too…" I reply.
Julia's POV
"Julia Clara Goldsworthy!" Christian says, as we've been dating now for about a good 10 years. I'm in my twenties, with my fiancé. In my stomach, is my baby girl. I'm not happy though. I feel…forced. I don't want a baby, not with him though. I'm 7 months pregnant, and I regret it.
Abused and knowing the fact I'm being cheated on, I stay with him. Why? I don't have the guts to leave. One little mistake in word choice, the rest of the week's hell. Nicholas says to go along with it, and it'll get better. But it's not. It's getting worse. My pregnancy is terrible, and I fear of what the outcome if for the baby. Dad died a few years ago, and well…life's hell."
Suddenly, I'm sitting in a booth at Little Miss Steaks. In front of me, is the notorious Julia Smith and no one other than my deceased twin brother, Nicholas Goldsworthy. "Jules, you know you're going under too much stress?" Big Julia asks. It's weird, looking at the beautiful woman who Dad named me after. "It's just that…I feel I'm all alone. Like, Hunter's not helping." I whisper. "Then step up and bring on you're a-game! I'm watching you, I'm there!" Nick comforts. "This is new, your advice does not make me feel any better whatsoever." I tease. "You got the gist of it?" He asks. "Yeah, love you." I say, and kiss them.
Ethan's POV
"Every morning there's a halo hangin from the corner of my girlfriend's four post bed. I know it's not mine but I'll see if I can use it for the weekend or a one-night stand. Couldn't understand. How to work it out. Once again as predicted left my broken heart open and you ripped it out. Something's got me reeling. Stopped me from believing. Turn me around again. Said that we can do it. You know I wanna do it again (Sugar Ray say) Oh... (Captain Morgan)Oh..." My phone rang around 3 am.
"What?" I mutter into it, half asleep. "Ethan Goldsworthy?" They ask. "Yeah, why?" I mumble. Fucking bastards calling at…3:21 am. "Katelyn Burchfield is here at the hospital. She suffered from a heart attack." They inform me. "I'll get there as fast as I can." I say, and run.
You guys like it? It may be a little confusing, let me know and i can explain it to you. I'm going to repost this tomorrow, for anyone who didnt see the title tonight. I'm super tired, so virtual stuffed animals for reviewers! Bye! -NCMS ;D
