Chap5

‘Well here we go’ I think as we hit the edge of town. It looks like we’ve been driving all night because the sun is just starting to rise, giving light to the sleepy town. I try to sit up even more to get a better look at my new home, but my eye sight is still pretty bad. I sigh and lean back in my seat, I can always get Ethan to show me around.

“It’s not a very big town, but the people here are nice” Sam says from the front passenger seat.

I barely pay him any attention though.

Gods I’m so nervous, never mind butterflies in my stomach try fully grown bats.

“Here we are, you ok sweetie?” Nathan asks as we pull up a long drive. I nod my head distractingly as I look up at the house. The house was an isolated two story cabin at the end of a long drive and appeared to back on to a wooded reserve.

No time like the present I think as I open the car door slowly, as not to jiggle my ribs more than necessary. I cautiously exit the car; Seth steps up beside me and takes my arm to help me walk.

“Your safe here Faith” he bends down to whisper in my ear. I felt tears sting my eyes but I swallow hard and let Seth lead me toward the house. Just as we get about five feet from the steps to the porch I swear I could hear a pounding noise coming from inside, some kind of rhythmic beat –like people running down wooden stairs-

I freeze when the front door fly’s open and two figures shoot out of the house. Jumping of the porch not even bothering with the steps to the ground. That’s when I manage to get a proper look at the figures.

Chocolate brown hair, aqua eyes, muscular physic

Ethan!

Gods I’ve missed him so much. His not changed much since I’ve been gone. His hair is longer and he looks a bit bigger but he is still my Ethan.

I look over to Drew; I’ve missed him just as much. His black hair is still the same and he looks slightly bigger to, but his forest green eyes are as bright as ever.

That’s when the guilt hits. Oh god how could I doubt them of course they would look for me.

I put my hand to my stomach as nausea rolls through me.

“Faith” a whisper in front of me reminds me I’m not alone.

“Ethan” I whisper back just as quietly and look into my brothers tears filled eyes. What little strength I have left leaves me at the sight of my brother’s heartbroken and fearful look. Ethan’s always so strong and sure.

My knees give out and I fall to the ground. I’m not there for long throw as large muscular arms rap around me and pull me close. I bury my head in Ethan’s neck and breathe in his welcomed scent. He smells like home and safety. I feel Ethan’s shoulders start to shake as he buries his head in my hair. I just rap my arms around him tighter and let him hold me as he cries.

I don’t know how long we sit there like that for but it feels like something is missing. I raise my head and look around.

Drew

He is just standing there looking equal parts relived and worried. I slightly pull away from Ethan and hold my arms out to him. He slowly walks over to un and ungracefully drops to his knees. He cups my face with his hands and just looks at me after a few moments he lets go and pills me into his arms. He holds me so hard my ribs protest but I don’t care, I ignore the pain and squeeze him closer.

“Let’s get you inside” Ethan says after a while, while trying to discreetly wipe the tears from his eyes. I move away and go to stand up only to be pulled right back into Drew’s arms. Drew stands up and pulls me closer as he makes his way up the porch steps and into the house.
