Ethan's POV
We face palmed and groan as we walk back to our rooms. I walk side by side holding hands with Lizzy. We both talked about things when Lacey decided to bug in. She tugged on my other arm and sweet-talked to me "I miss you so much Thanie" She said. I rolled my eyes as I feel Lizzy's hands squeezed mine. She poked her head to the front to see Lacey better "I thought I make one thing straight for you" She said "Damn" I hear Ruby's voice from the back as I turned my head towards her "I know right? I like this Lizzy" I said as she smirked "Ya hear that girl?" I looked back at Lizzy smiling at me. Lacey grunts before yanking my arm towards her so I was pulled against her. Lizzy glared at her "He's mine now so you better get back in your room alone, Liz" Lacey said mockingly. "Are you two going to argue all day? Lacey, why don't you just take Andrew and not Ethan?" Ruby said as Andrew's eyes went wide looking at her
"What?! No! I am NOT going with her. Nu-uh!" Andrew said hiding behind Ruby "I wanna stay with you" He continued. Ruby looked at him "It's not going to be that bad" She said as Andrew pouted at her "I don't want Andrew, I want Ethan and that's that" Lacey finally said. "Get outta here Lacey" Ruby said walking in between me and Lacey before dragging me with her. Andrew and Lizzy ran after us leaving Lacey alone in the hallway. Ruby finally let's me go and shove me and Lizzy together inside our bedroom. Lizzy tripped and landed on top of me and I let out a 'Oof' as Ruby said "You two better fix things up" She 'Hmph' at us as I saw Andrew behind her pouting. Then she slam the door shut. The room was only illuminated by the moonlight we looked at each other before realization hit us and we both pulled away blushing. I put my hand behind my neck in embarrassment and I chuckled before I stand up. I extended my arm for Lizzy "Come on, we have a light switch to search" I said as she looked at me and took my hand.
After some minutes, we finally managed to find the light switch and turn it on immediately. Lizzy sigh in relief as I chuckled at her "You should take a bath Lizzy, it's getting late" I said before I kissed her forehead "Okay" She said then walked to our closet to take her clothes before going to the bathroom. I sat at the edge of the bed sighing to myself before my attention were distracted by the noise at our balcony. I looked confused as I walk closer to the balcony door. I reach the door handle and twist it open to see none other than Lacey herself struggling to climb the fence. I glared at her "What are you doing here?" I said darkly as she flinched before looking at me. She quickly do a pose acting like she was crying. "Oh, Thanie, I missed you, I can't sleep in my room. I kept thinking about you" She said as fake tears rolling down her face. I rolled my eyes "Like what Lizzy said, I have a name and your not calling me 'Thanie' anymore, we're over remember?" I said coldly
"B-but why? After all we've been through? Can't you see that I want you and nobody else? I love you Ethan, I-" I cut her off "Loved, Lacey, I don't care about you anymore because I've felt what real love feels like" I smiled and looked back to our room. I turned my head towards her "Get of my balcony and go back to your room, Now" I demanded "Can I atleast do something before I go?" She pleaded. I sigh "Fine, what?" I looked at her annoyed before she grabbed my face and crash her lips to mine. I pulled her away as fast as I can but her grip on me tightened making me struggle against her until a voice behind me rang "What the hell?!" And that's where it feels like the world stopped. I froze. Didn't have the voice to say anything. Lacey pulled away from me "Heyy Liz" she said. "Get out before I push you of the balcony" Lizzy said darkly. Her body stiffened as her eyes went wide
"Chill, jeez, I was just-"
"One,"
"You should listen-"
"Two,"
"Are you really doing this?"
"Three"
Lizzy walked fast to Lacey and was about to pull her off "Okay! I'm going!" Lacey said before she quickly ran to her bedroom next door. "What did you do" Lizzy said coldly. "Why did you kiss her?" I opened my mouth so say something, but nothing came out "Why Ethan?" She turned to me with tears in her eyes "After all she'd done, your still into her?" Her voice cracked at the end of the sentence. It kills me looking at her like that. I've never wanted her to get hurt because of what I did. "I-I didn't kiss her Lizzy, She kissed me. I will never-" I was cutted off "I was just in the shower and you just...did that. What happened to you?" She looked at me with tears flooding her eyes. I tried to reach for her but she shoved my hand away and my heart ached.
She walked pass me and I just stood there. I look to the room next door to see Lacey smirking and waving at me. I glared darkly at her as her body stiffened and quickly ran inside. That's when I put one thing on my list 'Revenge'. I took one last glance at Lacey's room before going in my own room. I found Lizzy fast asleep on the bed. I smiled weakly at her before crawling beside her. I hope she didn't freak out in the morning. She wrap her hands around me after I find the best position. I looked at her "Did I wake you up?" I whispered. She tightened her grip around me as I kissed her forehead "Sleep tight, Lizzy" She loosen her grip and I slowly drifted to sleep.
I wake up the next morning to the sound of my alarm. I groan and turn it off before looking to my side to see Lizzy sleeping ever so slightly in my arms. I smiled at the sight as I scooted closer to her. She didn't move which I think is a good sign as I slowly drifted back to sleep. I was about to enter dreamland when the door knocked. "Dammit" I cursed before getting up and walk towards the door. I open it and hold a cold gaze on my face as I stared at...."Lacey" I said darkly. Her body stiffened "Hey" She smiled and waved at me nervously. I glared coldly at her as she looked behind me. I follow her gaze as I realised that she was looking at Lizzy. I smiled at her
"That lazy ass, why isn't she up yet" She mocked and I turned to look at her again glaring at her soul. "What did you say?" I tilt my head to the side still glaring at her. "N-nothing" She stuttered. I slam the door shut on her face as she was about to say something. But I'm done with this shit. I flash a smile when I see Lizzy moving ever so slightly on the bed groaning to herself "Ugh, what time is it?" She said in her sleep. I sat down next to the bed on her side and rest my head on my hand. "8 AM" I said as she laid there facing me. She flutter her eyes open and my heart skipped a bit. What a good way to start the morning. "Good morning, My lady" I smiled as she giggled "Morning" She smiled
