Chapter Three

"Don't go, Gina..I love you." Ethan said,as Gina continued running.

"I'm ugly, don't look at me." Gina cried loudly.

"It's not your fault,you look beautiful." Ethan said, but Gina continued to cover fer face.

Ethan saw bloodstains on her white dress, hearing loud cries of Gina and a baby,it was so loud, that Ethan had to cover his ears. "What's going on, Gina?"

"We made a mistake." Gina yelled, showing her face, which was stained with blood.

                  .......°........

Ethan woke up in his bathtub,as he breathed profusely and heavily.

The next day felt like hell in Ethan's side, he didn't want to see his mother after that argument, he just stayed in the bedroom, he didn't want to talk to anyone, he didn't want to see anyone, he just wants to be ALONE.

After spending half a day in his bedroom, he stood up as he opened the door. Opening the door was like a stab in the heart, hearing his mother's loud moans, coming from the bedroom opposite him.

What could he do?

"Not like Dad cares." Ethan thought.

He went downstairs, going to the kitchen, he took a bottle of water from the freezer, as he gulped a lot.

"Oh, you are awake." Ethan heard the voice, he has been trying to avoid, he looked up, seeing Doctor Matt, his trouser's zip was unzipped, making Ethan sigh in disgust.

Doctor Matt Hens, a man in his mid forties, his grey eyes, pink dry lips and a heart shaped face.

"Does my Dad knows?" Ethan asked, gulping the water not removing his eyes from Doctor Matt.

"Knows what?" Doctor Matt asked looking surprised by Ethan's question.

Ethan laughed awkwardly, "Stop playing dumb."

"What do you mean?" Doctor Matt said, still acting dumb.

"The fact you are already fucking my father's yet-to-be divorced wife." Ethan yelled, "What's wrong with all of you?" He added sadly, as Mrs Tuffin.

"What's going on here?" Knowing already, she looked at Ethan, who had a devlish smirk on his face, "Ethan,we talked about this." Mrs Tuffin complained, giving Ethan a deadly glare.

"Can you stop calling me that fucking name? Do you know the meaning of that name, 'Strength' do you really think, I have that much strength to survive life?" Ethan said as tears filled the brim of his eyes.

"Ethan, just calm down." Doctor Matt said softly.

"Shut the fuck up." Ethan yelled at Doctor Matt,before he looked at his mother, "Are you that cheap? You haven't divorce Dad, you are already cheating on him, and after having sex with your prostitute," Ethan pointed at Doctor Matt, as Mrs Tuffin walked furiously to him, giving him a slap on his face.

"I've warned you, Ethan, you shouldn't talk to him like that." Mrs Tuffin yelled as Doctor Matt, touched her by the shoulders to calm down, "Your father never gave me attention, I couldn't deal with that madness."

"When Dad was bringing enough money, you weren't satisfied because of your other stupid rich friends, you threatened Dad to bring more money home, which took most of his time and you are here complaining, you made that demon living in Dad, because there is a demon living in you, mother."

"How dare you?" Mrs Tuffin gritted her teeths angrily.

"You made all of this happen and now you have it, you are already complaining, what else do you want?" Ethan asked, "Oh yeah, my bad.. you want Doctor Matt here to be fucking you everytime you ask of it."

"Say that again and I would slap the hell out of you, I would show you, I'm still your mother and I own that respect, you are such a bastard."

"Bastard? Of course, I'm a bastard,I love bastards! I am bastard begot, bastard instructed, bastard in mind, bastard in valor, bastard in everything illegitimate." Ethan said angrily.

"Ethan, please." Doctor Matt said calmly.

"Farewell bastard." Ethan said, waving his mother slowly,as he left the house.

                   .....°.....

Entering his green Lamborghini, he drove off on the lonely road, increasing his speed.

"Say that again and I would slap the hell out of you, I would show you, I'm still your mother and I own that respect, you are such a bastard."

Ethan laughed, increasing his speed, "Bastard? Respect?Mother? Show me? Really? Is that all she's going to say."

Ethan speed his car, driving fast but to him,he was driving slow.

"I just want to die,God, is that too much to ask of?" Ethan thought angrily.

                   ~°~°~°~°~°~

Hope looked out the window. The sky was tar-black and the large clouds were moving towards her. She heard a tapping on the window and then it became a pitter-patter. People ran for cover outside and umbrellas were opened as the clouds spat out their beads of water. Puddles began plinking as the rainfall became heavier. The roofs of the cars danced with spray and Hope, could hear the murmuring of the rain through the window. It sounded like the buzzing of angry bees.

Hearing her phone ring, disturbing her from studying the rain.

"Hello."

"We need you in the restaurant." Hope could hear,her manager's voice,Linda.

"I don't have a nightshift and it's raining heavily here."

"There would be a bonus."

A bonus? That's what Hope Brown needed right now, she need more money to save up for college.

"Be here before ten." Her manager said, like she had already known Hope was about to say.

Hope hurriedly wore a black trouser, black cardigan and a black sneekers as she packed her hair in a tight bun, and she remembered to take her black umberella.

"I look like, I'm going for a funeral." Hope giggled inwardly.

              ~°~°~°~°~°~°~

Packing his Lamborghini at the side of the road, Ethan came of the car,as the rain wet him...

He didn't care about the rain,the heavy rain,he didn't care if he died on the lonely,rainy road.

"I'm alive inside and dying outside."

Ethan cried,as he sat down on the passenger's bench, crying heavily,as the heavy rain wet him.

The rain stopped above him, but he could still hear the loud pitter patter,he looked up, seeing a black umberella above him.

"Are you okay?"
