A Love That Will Never End
Chapter One.
Ali sat with her legs pulled close to her bed with her eyes shut tightly. She could hear the screaming from her parents in their room. They had been fighting for the millionth time that week about money. Biting her lip as she heard the words that were repeated over and over again each night between her parents. Moving herself so she could get off the bed, she slipped on her house shoes, grabbing her phone off the charger as she made her way out the back door. Closing it quietly behind her, she walked over to the ladder that she had put on the side of her house months ago, climbing up.
Sighing as Ali made it to the top, sitting down and leaning back against the roof, she unlocked her phone, and scrolled through her contacts looking for the number that she had called a million times over the last few weeks. Pressing the call button and placing it to her ear, she bit her lip again, in the anticipation of whether or not that familiar voice would pick up or not. After 3 rings she heard the sound of a woman telling her that her call could not go through and to leave a message after the beep. She removed the phone from her ear, pressing the end button and setting her phone next to her as she gazed up at the stars.
Ali could still hear the muffled noise of her parents shouting back and forth at each other, but it was better than being able to hear every word. Sigh as she shook her head. Ali's parents had been fighting so much lately. She can barely remember a time where they weren't fighting, but it seemed to be over every little thing nowadays. Feeling her phone vibrate next to her, Ali's heart skipped a beat, as she picked up up quickly, only to take a deep breath seeing that it was her best friend Sarah. Picking up the call she smiled lightly.
"Hello?" Ali asked, sitting up and ruffling her red hair with her free hand.
"Ali! Ethan found out about this awesome party! He told me to call you and invite you since you haven't been.." Sarah began, but she then heard Ethan's voice in a hushed tone and Sarah replying back, then hearing Ethan making a statement in a final tone, Ali heard Sarah sigh as she turned her attention back to the phone. "So do you want to come?"
Ali chewed on her bottom lip, debating on what to do. After a few moments Ali finally let herself agree to the idea. "Yeah, can you guys pick me up from the back? Mom and Dad are fighting again and if I try going out the front, I will be caught." Ali said getting up and climbing back down the ladder, going back inside.
"Alright we will be there in 30 minutes! Wear something cute!" She yelled before hanging up. With a roll of her eyes, Ali was at the door of her closet, pulling out a pair of ripped blue jean shorts and a old t-shirt. Slipping them on, she went and looked in her mirror. Her hair was in it's natural curly state and her make up look natural. Walking over to her bed, she slipped on her pair of flip-flops. Ali heard the sound of the car horn honking and she smiled, slipping her phone in her back pocket, locking her door, then climbing out of her window.
Running to Ethan's car she hoped in the back, closing the door and looking towards the two in front of her. "Hey." She said with a small wave. A smile was on Sarah's face and she could see a small smirk on Ethan's lips. Shaking her head waiting to hear it from them.
"Glad that you made it out tonight. We've missed our little party girl." Ethan laughed as he took a turn down a road. Ali, turned to look at Sarah, waiting for her remark.
"He has a point Ali... You became non-existent there for a while.." She said with a shrug. Ali crossed her arms, raising an eyebrow.
"Okay, so what? I think I deserved a little time off considering all of this, don't you? I mean hell, Sarah, you cried for two days straight when Ethan left you for those 48 hours." She said a bit bitterly, clenching her teeth together. Ali then saw the expression quickly change on Sarah's face and Ali instantly felt bad. "I'm sorry Sar...I just... I miss him.. it hurts still.." Sighing as she looked out the window, not wanting to see the look of sadness on her friends face anymore.
The rest of the car ride was mostly silent, unless Ali was apologizing. After a little bit more driving, they could hear the sound of music beating loudly and they knew that they were close. Pulling up to a house that was definitely owned by one of the more popular kids at the high school, Ali smiled. This was the first time that she had gotten out in a few months. She hadn't realized how much she had missed it.
When Ethan parked the car, Ali got out as quickly as possibly, shutting the door behind her, and linking her arm with Sarah's. Ethan walked around the car, walking with us into the house. Ali looked around trying to see where everything was. In the dinning room she could see a keg set up, and then closer to the wall a table set up of alcohol from whoever's parties it was, parents liquor cabinet.
A smile being brought to her lips as she pulled Sarah over to the drinks, picking out the scotch and pouring it into a plastic cup. Raising an eyebrow at Sarah, asking her mentally if she wanted a drink, but she just shook her head no. Shrugging her shoulders, Ali took a swig of the scotch. Ethan had disappeared off to somewhere and Ali knew that Sarah couldn't last two minutes without him.
Moving around the crowd of people, Ali looked around, trying to spot Ethan, and she could feel Sarah doing the same thing. Soon Ali spotted him in the living room, surrounded by a few jocks and then a few people she didn't recognize. Making their way to him, Sarah let go of Ali's arm, linking it with Ethan's as he glanced at us.
"Hey guys, this is my girlfriend Sarah and her friend Ali." Ethan said as he motioned his hand to both of them. By the way he was saying it, she could tell that he had something up his sleeve. He went through each guy introducing them, name by name, until the very last boy, and she looked up to be met by big brown eyes.
