The Best Life

Chapter 16

Beth's POV

Ethan just proved he was really over me but I hope him and whatever her name is don't think they have seen the last of me. I wonder what hold on her do he have. She looked ready to kill me when he started talking about our past. Which has nothing to do with her. She needs to understand she is just a fling and Ethan will be back with me before long. "Mrs. Sanchez I just want to apologize for what happened. I hope we didn't make him too sick to come home." "Beth you need to leave. Ethan has made it clear that he wants nothing to do with you and he is pretty happy in his new relationship. Leave my son alone. Alex of all people you could have cheated on him with you choose his brother. My sons hate each other because of you. Ethan don't even come home because of you. So do my family a favor and stay away." She says and walked away. His mom was right about one this. I did mess up Alex and Ethan's relationship and for that I was sorry but I wasn't sorry for the beautiful baby boy I had for Alex. My son is my life line. Yeah I know I told Ethan I gave him up truth is I was a single mom. After I got pregnant and knew for sure it wasn't for Ethan I had no idea how to tell him. Ethan always had a temper and shouldn't have expected him to react no differently than what he did. He broke it off with and told me to go find my baby father. Me and Ethan never had s*x. Back then he focused on school and work and helping his mom with the twins. Alex his older brother was busy cleaning up his father messes. Paying off debt at different bars and pubs. I was a junior when me an Ethan met. We dated for my whole junior year. Most times I had no idea where he was or what he was doing. One day we was supposed to go out and Ethan didn't show up. He sent me some bs text about having to work. That is when I started hooking up with Alex. At first we would just hang out and made out. One night Ethan stood me up again for work before thanksgiving. I called Alex and complained. He invited me over and we got drunk. One thing lead to another and we started having s*x almost every time we seen each other. That is until Ethan walked in on us one day. I should have left my car at the school like always and meet Alex but after Ethan said he had to work I thought it would be fine. Ethan came back earlier than normal and walked in on me and Alex. Ethan broke up with me and broke Alex jaw. Him and Alex hadn't spoke since that night. When I found out I was pregnant I went straight to Ethan he wanted nothing to do with. Alex on the other hand wanted to be a family. For the first year we were just that but after Ethan left home he ended up going back to his moms to take care of his fathers' messes. Alex came over from time to time and made sure AJ was taken care of. I wanted Ethan to understand I didn't mean to hurt him. I plan to tell him that when I get a chance to see him again. After his "girlfriend" heads out. Heard them say something about school. On another note I wonder why his mom didn't know me and Ethan had broken up. Guess she would figure it out when Alex and I had the baby.

"Ethan I know you don't want to see me and I don't blame you but at some point we both need closure. Why didn't you tell your mom we had broken up? Why are you and Alex still at each other throats? I get it I cheated with him but you cheated with your job. You spent more time working then with me. I get that you are in a relationship with that girl but I deserve answers." I told him. "Beth my mom didn't need to know I broke my brothers jaw because he was screwing a hoe in the house. My mother just thought you was part of the job. As far as me cheating with my job funny how said job brought you a lot of s**t and you wasn't complaining then but I miss a date or two and you hop in the sack with my brother and I'm sure that the night I caught y'all wasn't the first time. It was just the first time you got caught. What did you think was going to happen? I forgive you and we stay together. Hell no. Oh and I know you and Alex are raising the kid together. He brought him to my moms house the last time I visited which is why I changed my number and cut off all contact with you and him. Both of you are guilty. So go marry Alex my grandmas ring on your finger that he put there says a lot. Yet you show up here acting concerned. Just leave me alone for the rest of y'all lives."

Hearing Ethan's words and giving his blessing to the wedding let me know he was really over me and I looked like a damn fool trying to make his girlfriend jealous. Alex and I have been wanting to patch things up with Ethan. I get it I shouldn't have slept with his brother it is what it is. I have my son and now hopefully Ethan and Alex can start talking again. I really only come here because my uncle is in ICU and as bad as I want to say that I came here to fix this I came here to say goodbye to the man that raised me as his own. My parents didn't want me and since my aunt couldn't have kids of her own they took me and raised me. My birth parents got to see me and be present when they wanted but I clung to my aunt and uncle because they were all I knew. I left Ethan's room and went and met my aunt at my uncle's room. The process of him being taken off of life support was drawn out because my parents had to make even this event about them. 

Ameris POV

School seems to be going by slow guess cause the one person who makes time speed up is not here. Not having any drama with Jessica and her clique made the day seem smoother as well. These next few days will definitely suck Lunch was so uneventful. There was a little fight nothing major boys being boys in all honesty I just missed my guy and 2:30 couldn't get here fast enough.

Stopping by his locker and grabbing his books then hitting all his teachers free period was extremely tiring, got all his work and now I'm ready to go see main squeeze. "Before you leave I just wanted to talk to you." My mom says. I walk into her office. Finally a moment with mom. I know she is not my real mom but I was glad to get a chance just to talk to her. She closed the door. "Ethan?" "Shot in the left shoulder lost a lot of blood but came through surgery fine. Having a little issue with his blood pressure. Should be home in a day or two. Good thing tomorrow is a Friday so he has the weekend to recover." I say then burst into tears. "Honey He is fine. Why are you crying?" "His ex showed up. Well his mom called her thinking they were still together and the rage I felt it just was so unreal." "It's ok. He loves you and you love and you both will protect the other one with your own life. I know because I can see it. Mer as many guys that have tried to talk to you or date you and you have let them know that you were not interested but around Ethan you are this shy school girl on her first date all the time. He is changing because of you as well. He is not that angry guy that used to come to see the boys. He has a softer side and you bring that out in him. Whatever his ex did to hurt him you have surely healed and he sees you for you and knows that you wouldn't hurt him like her. So what did she do?" "He caught her with his brother Alex. Him and Alex haven't spoke since. I want him to reconnect with his brother and his mom. His mom looked at him like he was a stranger." "Well baby that is something you can't decide for him. He has to want it too. I will see you at home for dinner?" "Yes I will be there." Janet knew what to say and how to say it. I will admit I hated her for a while after my mom passed but I am glad I have her for the tough days. I spent another thirty minutes laying on her with her stoking my hair and making me feel like the princess that I am. I know I am spoiled but that is just how it is. being the only girl and all. After I finally got myself together I sent Kesha a message to let her know I was in Janet's office and when she was ready we could leave school. She messaged me back that she and Mason was on their way to meet me and we could head to go see Ethan. I smiled. I missed him today. I miss him any time we are apart and the fact that he is going to be in the hospital until who knows when really sucked for me and since I have school the next two days I can't go spend time with him.
