Chapter 87
The sharp slap seemed to finally get through to him, and Ethan released my hand. I pulled my hand back and tried not to look at him.
After about half an hour, the car stopped outside Ethan's house. I tried to help him out, but he was leaning on me so much that I had trouble holding him up.
Since I was still weak from being sick, I could barely support his weight. I managed to get him a few steps from the car, but I stumbled and fell.
Instead of me hitting the ground, Ethan ended up on the pavement. I heard him grunt in pain, then saw him frown and open his eyes. I quickly got off him and looked at hirn worried. "Are you okay?"
Ethan was holding the back of his head and said. "It hurts."
Had he hit his head when he fell I knelt down to help him sit up
"Where does it hurt? Is there any bleeding?
There wasn't any bleeding, but there was a big bump on his head. I touched the bump gently, and Ethan winced. "Ugh
I was worried and said, "Let's go to the hospital"
Ethan grabbed my wrist and smiled at me "I'm fine. No need for the hospital. Just an ice pack will help,"
I knew I couldn't convince him, so I gave in. Then, Ethan pointed to the door and told me the code. I realized that was my birthday. I thought it was strange but typed in the code anywa The door unlocked with a beep
I took a step back and said, "I brought you home. Your girlfriend will take care of you. I'm leaving now."
However, when I tried to leave, Ethan nearly fell over. I caught him just in time.
He leaned on me and said, "This is my house. Leah isn't here."
His face looked like he was in pain. He let go of me and went inside quickly.
I stood there for a moment, shocked by the sound of him throwing up inside. After hesitating a few seconds, I decided to go in after him.
When I walked in, Ethan came out of the bathroom looking pale. He seemed surprised to see me and said with a muffled, regretful voice, "I thought you had already left."
Even with the bampon his head, he seemed alert mough to take care of himself. He could even call an ambulance if needed.
I sighed and said flatly, "You seem okay. I did what I was asked to do by bringing you back. I'm leaving now." With that, I turned to walk out.
"Wan" Ethan took a couple of steps toward me. "Can you please not hate me
I was the second time he had said something like this to me..
I looked at him, but before I could reply, he added, "I'm sorry about Leah. Just give me some time. I'll make things right with what she did to you "
