CPOV
My heart is beating out of my chest. Many possibilities of what happened to Ethan are popping up in my head and none of them sound good to me. What if something happened to him? Is somebody out to get me and everyone in my family? What if Ethan is cheating on Mia? If that comes out to be true, I will personally deal with that fucker.
Mia is sitting on Ana's right in the suv. Her head is on Ana's shoulder and from time to time, Ana runs her hand through Mia's hair. I feel bad that Mia has to go through all of this, but who knows maybe we are all worried for nothing. That is very unlikely, but there is a slight possibility that it could be true.
I look out the window and see a bunch of old apartments. The suv stops near a two story brick apartment building. This is it.
I open the door and wait for Ana and Mia to get out of the car. Although I was reluctant to take Mia at first, I decided that it would be best for her. That way it would somewhat calm her down.
My other last minute decision was Sawyer. Not knowing what the situation is, I decided that grabbing Ana's CPO could come in handy. Taylor would stay back at the car and Sawyer will come with us.
We entered the apartment building and took the elevator to the second floor. The apartment that we were looking for was located there.
Once there it wasn't a far walk to our destination.
We walk until I stop at the apartment door. I knocked on the door as soon as everyone else caught up to me.
No one answered at first,so I knocked again. Soon a woman opens the door in a towel. She had dark blonde hair and hazel eyes.
"Can I help you?" She asks. I can hear Mia gasp at the sight of the woman. I can only wonder what is going through my sister's head right now.
"Yes, I am looking for an Ethan Kavanaugh. " I answer her back.
"Im sorry,but he doesn't live here. Perhaps you should check another apartment." She says, closing the door. Sawyer grabs the door before it closes. The blonde woman turns around looking shocked.
"Listen Miss, I know you are lying. Why don't you make it easy for yourself and tell us that Ethan is with you right now." I demand.
She doesn't answer me. Then I hear a familiar voice calling her from somewhere in the apartment.
"Baby, who is that?"
"Come here." She says.
A few seconds goes by and soon the man of the hour comes to the door. Ethan was wearing nothing but some boxer shorts.
"What is it, babe?" He asks. He then looks up at the door and turns a crimson read color.
"How dare you, Ethan!" Mia screams. "You've been cheating on me?!" My sister is enraged right now and frankly I am too, but I am somehow managing to keep myself from lunging and giving that guy a piece of my mind.
"Mia, I can explain." He says as he walks out the door to speak to Mia.
"I don't need an explanation, Ethan. I just don't understand how you can do this to me. Everything was going so well, I moved in with you not too long ago and now I find you cheating on me. I…don't know what to say." She says. Her voice begins to tremble and I can hear her begin to cry. I turn around to see Ana giving her a hug, telling her that everything will be okay.
Ethan just stands there.
"Ethan, I don't want you near my sister. I thought differently of you and now that you do this to my sister, I cannot fathom trusting you anymore. I will have to talk to Elliot about this. Maybe this time tomorrow you won't have a job." I tell him, my voice slightly raised.
"You can't just take his job away from him. This has nothing to do with it." The blonde defends Ethan.
"Miss, stay out of this." I tell her.
"But she's right. Its not fair." Ethan retorts.
"Well I am glad that you know how that feels like because now you know how my sister feels like. What he did isn't fair to her." I say.
"Im going to move all my stuff out of the apartment today, Ethan." Mia says.
"Can we just talk about this?" Ethan asks Mia.
"We have nothing to discuss, Ethan. Its over." She says.
At this point, we all leave back to the SUV. I can't say that I am not slightly surprised by Ethan's actions. I remember when I first met the fucker. He was actually trying to get into Ana's pants at the time, but luckily it didn't happen. I knew he was trouble even when I saw him with my sister, but for her sake I took a couple steps back. I wanted Mia to be happy. I knew that if I was going to keep telling her that he isn't the person she sees, she won't believe me. I thought things are going well because he asked her to move in with her and he even told us that when he had lunch with me and Elliot. He even promised then that he wouldn't hurt her. At the time I believed him, but now I am 100% sure that he cannot be trusted.
It is still a mystery as to why he cheated on Mia. I know I may sound biased but Mia is a sweetheart and a very pretty woman. Any guy would be lucky to have her. Ethan just wanted to fuck some random bimbo on the side, thinking that Mia will never find out and she never would have if he didn't come home last night.
The drive back to Mia's apartment was silent if you don't count her sobs every now and then.
I genuinely feel bad for my sister.
Upon dropping her off, I promised her to get her some boxes so she can pack her stuff. That way she can remove her stuff out of Ethan's apartment and she can move back home without seeing Ethan.
"I feel bad for her." said Ana. "I didn't see this coming at all." She puts her head on my shoulder. I stroke her hair, attempting to comfort her.
"I did. I did for a while when I met him for the first time and he was trying to get you in bed with him. Luckily I was your boyfriend then and that stopped him from doing that. " I tell her. "It took all the strength that I had in me not to pounce on that fucker. "
"Im glad that you didn't although he did deserve it." Ana says.
"I am pretty sure that Elliot will go crazy when he finds out what Ethan did. " I say to her.
"I know. There is no way he will let Ethan work for him again." Ana says.
"That's true."
We pull into the parking lot of Escala. I send Taylor to the nearest Box City store to grab some boxes for Mia.
I call up Elliot and tell him what has happened. Elliot sounded very pissed off and said that he will most likely fire Ethan. I also called my mom and told her that Mia will move back with her for the time being. My mom was surprised that this had happened much like the rest of us, but agreed that it was in Mia's best interest.
Taylor needed to run some errands for Gail, so I let Sawyer deliver the boxes to Mia.
Mia always had a crush on Sawyer and I know that Sawyer will never do what Ethan had done to her. I know that now is not the time to play matchmaker, but I know that when Sawyer saw Ethan at the blonde bimbo's apartment, he was just as willing to rip that fucker into pieces as I was. I would be happy if Sawyer was her boyfriend because I know that I could at least trust that he won't go around fucking other women behind her back.
