Heyy! Finally updating! Thanks JJ288 and My World Of Eli for reviewing! Ok, here's Chapter 36.
Ehan's POV
Life can be full of coincidences. I was the target of the bullies. Now, I'm a part of the bullies. Coincidence? I sighed, walking past Anthony Avila. That freaking snitch. He's had it against me since Kindergarten. 8 years. Stupid ass snitch. "Yo Goldsworthy! Wanna suck balls?" He teased. "Shut up." I whisper." What was that sweetie pie?" He ask. "I've had enough of your shit!" I scream, jumping on him. I swing for his mouth, blood pouring out.
A big nerd was my best friend. The other day, I laughed at him as he was looking for the
12th grade honors class. Coincidence? Dylan Butler came running up to us, as he's my best friend. He pulled me off of Anthony, and took me away. "I hate him!" I screech. "I know dude. We're 15, he's had it against you since we were 5." Anthony mutters. "I wanna get revenge." I smirk. "Dude. No! You'll get in trouble!" Dylan answers. "Don't worry, I just need the help of a misfit." I evilly smirk.
Katelyn was my best friend, now she hates me, as I'm one of the popular crowd. Coincidence? "Dude, that was so awesome! The whole school's still talking about it!" Dylan cheers. Wearing skinny jeans, black low top converse, and a Degrassi Grade 10 shirt, purple, I'm smirking. "I know. It was awesome, and proves Anthony a lesson." I reply. Anthony shut his locker, as he was temporarily blinded for a day. "Goldsworthy!" he growls. "That's my name, don't wear it out." I tease.
"Stupid ass." He mutters. "Hey, that's a bad word. Remember kindergarten? You fat girly self?" I ask. "Oh yeah? Well remember this!" Anthony answers, punching me. Dylan pulls me back, and drags me away before I can fight back. "Dude, I thought the prank was revenge?" Dylan asked. I observed his outfit.. Shorts with his shirt tucked in, knee socks, hair all combed, and just so nerdy.
"Lose the knee socks." I start. "Un tuck your shirt, ruin your hair a bit, and…there." I finish, doing what I said. "A lot better." I nod. Dylan sighs, and we walk to class. "Mr. Goldsworthy, we have a new student and I want you to guide them around." The old bat of Ms. Dawes tells me. I sigh, and walk to the office. "Oh my god, who is that?" I ask, staring at the beauty. "Hi, I'm Katelyn Burchfield." She greets. I'm to dumbstruck so I go, "Ethan my name's Hi." She giggles. "Nice Casanova. His name's Ethan." Dylan corrects me, as he helps out in the office.
"Goldsworthy?" She asks. "How do you know?" I ask. "Because the front desk lady said you'll be escorting me. There's not much Ethan's lately." She explained. "Oh…well let's go!" I cheer.
All of the shit that's happened in my life, never occurred. Until, I met the Alex Branch. Coincidence? Alex Branch comes by, and winks. "Hey Ethan, can you help me with homework?" Alex asks. Alex Branch, one of the sexiest girls at Degrassi, wants me to help her? "Actually, Kate's better at school than me." I offer. "Right Kate?" I add. "What? Oh yeah, definitely." Katelyn answers. I was hoping you can help me…please!" Alex begs, and I nod.
Also, "For Mizz Katelyn Burchfield." I announce in a cheezy accent. "Why thank you Mizter Ethan Goldsworthy." Katelyn plays along. "Gez who haz a date with Alex Branch tonight!" I cheer. "Um…grandma?" Katelyn guesses. "Hell no." I whisper back. Katelyn bursts laughing, and Alex comes. "Ethan!" Alex screams, and kisses my lips. "Ms. Branch, Mr. Goldsworthy, detention for PDA." Mr. Simpson orders, and I moan. "Mr. Simpson, Alex kissed me!" I complain.
"Ms. Branch, is this true?" Mr. Simpson asks Alex. "Yes, sir." Alex answers. "Well then, both of you get to class!" Mr. Simpson yells. "Badass bitch Alex almost got you detention." Katelyn whispers in my ear, "She's not a badass." I mutter. "Yes she is, with a huge serving of a bitch." Katelyn answers back. "No Kate." I argue. "Ethan-" Katelyn starts, but walks off to class. Would that be a coincidence? No. Not at all. When I started to date Alex, Katelyn and I were separated. I became an alcoholic, and a 'druggie.'
OOOO
I rushed to the hospital, scared and breathing fast. I sent Dad a text saying that I'm taking a morning jog. I enter the hospital, it all quiet and calm. My rush entrance caused multiple stares, but I don't care. "Kate!" I yell, and a nurse comes. "Sir, are you delusional?" She asks. "No!" I reply, as another nurse gave me a cup of water. "Ok…can I help you?" She continues. "Katelyn Burchfield. I got a call like an hour ago." I answer. "I'm sorry, she died an hour ago." She confesses. My face drops, and then she mutters something. "Excuse me?" I ask. "I said, I'm sorry for your loss of Kailyn Abernathy." She replies. "Kate-lyn. Bur-ch-fie-ld." I say as if I were talking to a kindergartner.
"Oh…she's in room 89." She answers, and gives me a visitor pass. Taking a deep breath, I walk into the elevator. Tempted, I almost break up with Alex. She's a drug, an unwanted drug. Pressing the number 8, I wait.
"Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Every day it will rain, rain, rain..."
The elevator music played. That song has got to be like what? 30 years ago! The door dinged as I got to the floor. There was like a void, of sadness. Grasping my pass, I keep on walking over the hallway. 89. Burchfield, Katelyn. I walk in, and see Katelyn pale on the bed. "Hi." She croaks, and I sit next to her. "Nice PJ's." She teases, as I look down. I'm in my boxers and a red Elmo t-shirt, with converse. No wonder the ladies thought I was crazy.
"It's a new trend." I smirk, and she laughs. "Oh my god, what happened?" I snap back. "I t-tried a c-cigar." Katelyn answered. "Why?" I gasp. "You!" Katelyn yells. Her heart rate's rising. "Calm down." I order, and it slowly lowers, as I sigh in relief. "I'm going to rehab. For both drugs and alcohol. And, I'm breaking up with Alex." I inform her. "What happened" I ask, on the verge of tears. "You should see Dylan, he's so different. He tried out for the football team." Katelyn answers. "I want my old life back." I cry, and Katelyn pats my back. "Me too." She whispers, and rubs off her make up. Rumbling up her hair, I laugh. "I'm discharged little today, and inviting just our friends. You can invite Alex and what's that girl she always hangs out with." Katelyn says. "Lucia. I rather not." I reply. Suddenly, I plant a kiss on her cheek. It's not cheating, if I'm planning to dump Alex.
OOOO
I walked into Katelyn's house, and look around. I gave in, and invited just Alex and Lucia, and begged and pleaded them not to look racy/druggy/alcoholic/badass, and to not get into trouble. Alex was already there, and one problem. She invited probably 40 people! "No, no, no!" I say in frustration, then run up to Alex. "What the hell?" I start, as she has something in her hand. "What's that? Don't tell me your drinking!" I question. "Soda!" Alex answers, and walks off.
Katelyn walks on the stage out in the backyard by the pool. "Hi guys! Guess what? Karaoke!" Kate cheers, and the crowd claps. Katelyn calls for some girl named Brianna, until something hits me. She was at our lunch table when I didn't have any communication with Alex.
"It doesn't matter if you love him or capital H-I-M." She sings. I zone her out, and find Alex. "Al, we need to talk." I start. "Sure." She smiles, and I take her over by the drinks. "Watcha need?" she asks. My first breakup, and I'm ending it. "I just-hard-hoopla!" I yell. "Hoopla?" Alex questions. "Yes hoopla! HOOPLA!" I scream. "Looks like the cause of hell is here." A voice says from behind, and I turn around. There wearing tight, black skinny jeans, a red plaid t-shirt, and with a haircut, along with Jordan's, was no one other than Dylan Butler. Next to him, with gray skinny jeans, a shirt and vest, and with longer hair was Anthony Avila.
"Meet my best friend." Dylan adds. Why? I turn and glare at Alex. She looked at me all confused. "And it's time for Alex Branch singing an old classic, It Will Rain by Bruno Mars!" Katelyn cheers. Now, Bruno Mars is 56 I think, and is still singing, like his hit 'A Deal Breaker'. Alex gets on stage, and for the first time, she looked sober and happy. "This is dedicated to my boyfriend, Ethan Goldsworthy." Alex announces. The music starts playing, and I sighed.
"If you ever leave me baby,
Leave some morphine at my door
'Cause it would take a whole lot of medication
To realize what we used to have,
We don't have it anymore.
There's no religion that could save me
No matter how long my knees are on the floor
So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm makin'
Will keep you by my side
Will keep you from walkin' out the door."
God no! This song was playing in the elevator this morning, and I heard Mom singing this song a few times to Dad, but it never really had a connection 'till now. Her voice was beautiful, majestic. It really hid the fact she was an alcoholic orphan.
"Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Everyday it will rain, rain, rain..."
Breaking up, is like walking away. If I dump her, will I leave her as an emotional wreck?
"I'll never be your mother's favorite
Your daddy can't even look me in the eye
Oooh if I was in their shoes, I'd be doing the same thing
Sayin there goes my little girl
Walkin' with that troublesome girl
But they're just afraid of something they can't understand
Oooh well little darlin' watch me change their minds
Yeah for you I'll try I'll try I'll try I'll try
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
If that'll make you mine
Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday it will rain, rain, rain...
]
Don't just say, goodbye
Don't just say, goodbye
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
If that'll make it right
Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday it will rain, rain, rain..."
She finishes, leaving me speechless. She walked over to me, and kissed me. "A-Alex. I want to b-" I stutter. Before I can finish, her brown eyes are all tear up, and were shining. "Y-you're walking away." She whispers. "Ethan, that song, is 100 percent true! If I lose you baby, just like the clouds, my eyes will do the same if you walk away-" She cries. "Everyday it will rain, rain, rain." I mutter. "Exactly. You made my life better!" She adds.
"And you make my life hell!" I scream, regretting it. "Are you serious?" She asks. I get up, and I can hear her whisper "Everyday it will rain, rain, rain…"
Really weird request, instead of giving me a positive review, I want negatives. I want to hear what people don't like about this story. If you just can't plain think of any negatives, your more than welcome to leave a positve. I want atleast one negative. Weird author, aren't I? Begging for negative reviews. Enjoy!
