I Sat Trapped In The Wedding Car For One Whole Hour Chapter 08
Ethan stood outside until the sun started going down. No matter how many times he called my name, I never came but.Â
My parents had enough and called the police. The copsÂ
warned him that if he kept harassing me, he’d be arrested.Â
Ethan said he didn’t care, but when his parents showed upÂ
right behind the officers, he shut down.Â
His parents dragged him home, sighing the whole way. “If sheÂ
doesn’t want to get back together, why are you so set on her?”Â
You got fired and you won’t even look for a new job. You justÂ
lock yourself at home and drink, or camp outside Hazel’sÂ
house. You’ve made this whole family look like fools!”Â
His father stared at him, disgusted and exhausted. WaitingÂ
for him to snap out of it. But Ethan barely seemed to hear. HeÂ
didn’t even remember getting home.Â
He pushed his bedroom door open in a daze. A familiarÂ
perfume hit him. The one I used to wear.Â
Ethan’s expression froze, He looked down at the suitcase onÂ
the floor and the clothes thrown across the bed.Â
Ethan, you’re back.” Savannah walked out of the bathroom in her pajamas.Â
Ethan snapped back to reality. He remembered everyÂ
question I’d just asked. His face went cold and he moved to throw her out.Â
“Who told you to come here? Get out!”Â
Savannah stubbornly refused to leave. “Your parents told me I could.”Â
Right on cue, his mother walked in to explain. “Yes, yes, I’mÂ
the one who asked her to come.”Â
She shielded Savannah and looked at Ethan with a painedÂ
expression. “Look at you. You’ve wasted away. I askedÂ
Savannah to come take care of you. Can you just let yourÂ
father and me have some peace of mind?”Â
But Ethan gave them no room to argue. He grabbed theÂ
clothes off the bed, shoved them into the suitcase, and hurled it out the door.Â
I don’t need anyone to take care of me.”Â
His mother’s chest heaved with fury. “Then at least haveÂ
some pity on her and let her stay for a while!” She pattedÂ
Savannah’s hand reassuringly. “The pipes in her apartmentÂ
still aren’t fixed. It’s unlivable. As a friend, you shouldn’t let her have nowhere to go.Â
And that was it. The mention of the pipes set him off like a bomb.Â
He raised his voice and pointed a shaking finger right atÂ
Savannah’s face. “That crappy apartment of yours has ‘burstÂ
pipes‘ twenty times a year. Every single time on an important day.
Hazel’s birthday. Our dates. And this time, the night before our wedding. You did it on purpose, didn’t you!”Â
