~Two years later~
Ethan's POV
It's been 2 years since I first locked myself in this room. Alone, with nothing but me and my mind. I never talked to anybody, I ignored everyone that knocked on my door, I spend my days laying in bed. I can't sleep, I didn't even eat right. When I'm hungry, either Ruby, mom, or the guards came in with a tray of food. Sometimes I didn't touch them, and sometimes I just hope they didn't care about me anymore and just let me die in here. Atleast I know dad will do that. Lately I've been having nightmares about how Lizzy really hates me and wants me dead. I can't believe that I still remember her. I just can't seem to forget and the only thing that makes me smile, is the picture of Lizzy smiling so wide on my phone wallpaper. Even tho she hurt me, I still love her, I don't know why, I just...do. My wolf is long gone now. Why? Because he lost his touch and lost his feelings.
Elisabeth's POV
2 years. 2 years since Ethan surprised me on that door. Now, I feel like I don't wanna live anymore. I've always wanted to go to back to where my real family is, but I'm afraid that Lacey with hurt me even more, and what if Ethan loves her? I shook my head at the thought. No, he loves me...right? I know he haven't told me that, but I know that he loves me. Should I go? Or should I just stay here with Will? I ran downstairs to find Will in the kitchen mixing ingredients. I ran up to him and hugged him from behind. He jump "OMFG, You scared the shit outta me, What do you want?" He half shouted and half angry and he half rap that part. I giggled at his reaction. "Nothing, I'm just looking for your holy wise suggestion" I beamed at him as he looked annoyed by me. "Tell me why God gave me a best friend like you" He said flatly "I know you love me" I said and he glared at me "And I don't know why I love you too -_-" I laughed again
"You think I should go back to Ethan or-" I got cutted of by him shouting and jumping around "Yes! You have too! Go! Get out!" I froze there can't believe my eyes "Someone tells me that HE, regret having a friend like me" I smirked as he looked at me. He ran as the speed of light and hugged me tight "I'm happy to have a friend like you, Izzy, I love youuu" Then he lets go of me and start pushing me to my room "Pack your things, and I want you outta my house in 30" He demanded "But-" I tried to complain "No buts, You gotta go to your Ethan" He said and pushed me inside my room "Okay, jeez" I laughed to myself as he looked at me, proud.
After 30 minutes of packing, I change my clothes and went downstairs to see Will, already waiting for me there. I smiled at him as I put my bag across my shoulder. He smiled back and hugged me tight once I reach him. "I'm gonna miss you, Izzy" He said with teary eyes "Aww, I'm gonna miss you too Will, I'll never forget what you've done for me" I said. He wiped his own tears and sighs "You know there's something I need to tell you" I looked at him in the eye "I have a girlfriend" His smile widened as I widened my eyes "OMG! Finally! You have a girlfriend?! Congratulation! Sad I can't see her now" I said disappointed. He chuckled "Relax, You're gonna see her other time" He said and pull me in a hug again "I'm gonna miss you, Have a save trip, and go get ya man!" I laughed at the last part "I'm gonna miss you too" We exchange our goodbyes and I went to the forest going to my home.
Ethan's POV
I hum a song that Lizzy used to sing to me and closed my eyes, replaying our memories. Maybe I've gone crazy. I mean, Not talking to anyone, Not even eating nor sleeping well, all because of Lizzy. I don't blame her, I just...Missed her. I know that she ain't coming back to me and that she has someone else in her life. Just that thought made my blood boil. I sigh. A lot has happen this past 2 years tho
Flashback, 1 year ago
I finally decided to come out of my room just to see Andrew on one knee, He pulled out a box and said "Ruby White, will you make me the happiest man alive and take my hand in marriage?" He smiled widely. Ruby covered her mouth with her hand as she started tearing up and fall to her knees. She hugged Andrew and shouted "Yes! Yes!" She cried in Andrew's arms as he laughed. A few more people came in and he shouted again "She said yes!" Everyone cheered for them, some said 'congratulation' and some said 'may you two have a happy life'
We celebrated the proposal with a party that night. People gasp and widened their eyes when they saw me tho. So I keep a low profile and stood alone in the corner. That's when Andrew noticed me and walked over. "Glad you made it here, brother" He pat my back "I see you're in a good mood" I smirked "Ofcourse I am" He said, looking at Ruby playing with the kids. It was silence until he decided to break it "You miss her?" I looked at him "What?" He then looked at me "Liz, do you miss her?" He asked again and I shrugged "Well, yeah, ofcourse. Even tho I know she ain't coming back"
Andrew frowned at me "I'm going" I said and turned my back on him. My eyes widened when I felt a pair of arms around me. I looked over my shoulder to see Ruby hugging me from behind. "Ethan! You're here!" She said excitedly and I chuckled "Yeah..." I faked a smile "I...should get going here" I frowned as Ruby looked at me "Oh...right...well I'll see you later then" She said and went away. I turned to Andrew "You know you should change her into one of us one day right?" He looked at me and slowly nodded. "I'll figure it out. Somehow..." He put his hand on my shoulder and I nodded at him
Flashback, 2 days after the proposal
I came out of my room again and barge into dad's office. In there, I found him talking to Lacey, again. He was about to shout at me before I cut him off "Dad, I told you, I want her" I pointed at Lacey "Out of our house and for you to cancel all the meeting's for me. I already put my right as Alpha to Andrew and now I will go back to my room" He said something to me but I ignored him and walk to my room. Lacey tag along behind me and shouted "Wait! Ethan!" She grabbed my arm which I yanked away from her. "Don't follow me before I lose my patience" I glared and walked back to my room. I can hear her groan from behind and I smirk victoriously at myself
Present time
My thoughts were cutted off by people outside, shouting...Lizzy's name? I frown as I put my ear on the door "Liz?! Is that you?! Oh my God! You're back! You're really here!" I heard Ruby's voice shout from the other end. I heard many footsteps outside, more like running. My eyes widened as I took a step back. No, it can't be, it's not true, it's just my mind, it's not real, it's just my hallucination. I put my hand on my head, pulling my hair. But then there's a knock on my door. My head shot up as I start shaking. Get out of my head. Get out! I shut my eyes hoping the knocking would stop, but it didn't. "Ethan, there's someone waiting for you" Ruby's voice said. "No, you're lying, it's not real, she's not there" I shouted at her. Then I heard her sigh.
"Ethan, I suggest move away from the door"
"What? Why?"
"Just, do it"
"What?"
I heard her groan "You asked for it" I frown and just then, my door flung across the room. "What is everyone's problem with the damn door these days?!" I shouted at her and she laughed and smirked "I told you to step back" I glared at her. "Anyway, someone's waiting for ya" She stepped away and...there she is
