Chapter 29: Ethan's Advice and Surprise
To be honest, I don’t really want the idea of having Paul as the doctor in charge of Douglas. I’ve ended the thing going on between us before it goes further. But God, why do you keep on making our way meet? There never happens a day that I didn’t even forgot him. He is always messing with my mind. Always
But I should start my life without him because I know once Douglas wakes, he will surely set the business party so that we can go back as soon as he can in Paris where he can continue his medication. So I will go back to my old Chantal again. Something that I dont want to go back to.
Paul says that Douglas will be unconcious for 3-5 days. He added that I should call him as soon as Douglas wakes up. As much as I don't want to, I have to.
If you want to know if I am worried, I am...I am worried for Douglas. Even though I hate him very much. He still became a part of my life. Because of him, I became like this. If I stay in my usual life, I probably won't be studying right now. But look at me now, because of Douglas. I had the education I need, the dream to be a teaher, especially my face. I won't be so ugly anymore.
I was sitting on a chair next to Douglas' bed, reading some random novel I saw in this room when there was a knock on my door "Come in"
Ethan peaked his face out and then entered, looking relieved when he saw me "You sicked woman! You sicked woman! You didn't know how nervous I was that night! You left without saying anything!" he shouted at me
Oh, he must be FORGETING something
I pit his head hard as soon as he was in front of me "OUCH! Are you crazy?!"
"Me? You're the crazy one here! Because of you Paul knows who I really am!!!" I shouted back at him as I narrowed my eyes at him
His eyebrows touched confusely "How can it became my fault?"
"Think again, you kept on texting me using my 'name'!" I told him, putting my hand on my waist
His eyes widen "So, he already knows?" he gasped
I nod "Yep and now he is working on making me forgive him"
He raised on eyebrow "He's asking for youor forgiveness? That's a...a shock...Paul Lautner never begs"
"I know" I murmured "But...I am the one who told him not see me again"
Ethan looked at me like I had grown another head. Is there something wrong? "What?" I asked him "Ethan, what does that idiot look means?"
Then he shook his head "Laura, Laura, Laura..." he chanted "I want you to answer my question...answer it honestly, okay?" Ethan held both of my arms and made me look in his eyes
I nod my head "Go shoot"
"Are you running away?"
My eyes widen at his question because I think it hit a nerve. Yes, it does. Ouch...
Even that question is just a 'yes' or 'no' answer but...it is hard for me to decided. Am I running? I asked myself. Am I really acting brave? Brave so that I can save Paul from Douglas? Or just scared that Douglas might find out about Paul? What are the real answer?
This is harder than I thought.
Oh God
"You are getting smarter, Ethan. I'm impressed" I joked smiling at at him
He shrugged his shoulders and waited for my answer "Laura, you want to leave this night mare but how will you leave if you don't know how. Paul is here...he can save you from Douglas but that won't happen if you don't let him. Give him a chance, Laura. I know you love him"
I took a deep breath and thinked hard for this. "Since when did you start becoming on Paul's side?"
"Since I had a talk with him yesterday"
"You talked to him?" I asked raising both of my eyebrows
"Actually we just bumped into each other at the hospital yesterday, he said he was on his way here" Ethan replied, sitting down next to me
"And what are you doing at a hospital?" I questioned
He rubbed the back of his head "I visited a friend"
"A friend?"
"Yes, a friend" he assured but he is avoiding an eye contact with mine. Oooh, something is fishy
I stared at him "And who is this friend of yours?" I don't know but there is this urge in me that I need to know who this friend of his is because I know Ethan. He won't visit someone especially in a hospital unless it was an emergency or something
"Okay, Ethan spill the beans already?!" I shook his arm
But he just glared at me "Stop that! We are talking about you not about me!" he protested. With that reaction, I know something is wrong about him
"Ethan..." I called seiously "What's wrong?"
Ethan sigh and sits properly, facing me. He looks...nervous? Scared? Confused? Or in deep problem. Oh Gosh, don't tell me you got in trouble!
"It's Claire" he confessed
Claire?
Claire Fox is his ex girlfriend. The only girlfriend he had that is younger than him. He dated her 2 years ago, he was 23 and Claire was 20. She lives here but also studied in Paris but when they broke up, because Ethan...being a dick, Poor Claire caught him red handed. Ethan slept with his Calculus proffessor and Claire was too hurt and returned back home.
I got mad at Ethan. I slapped him very hard on his both cheeks and kicked his little down there. I was too angery. Claire is so sweet and so in love with Ethan and he dare hurt her!!!
"Okay, what about Claire?" I asked, I shifted closer to him.
Ethan paled...and his hands were shaking. What happened to Claire? Now I am getting nervous "What happened to her? Is she okay?"
"She's pregnant"

"What???" My jaw dropped
Ethan's face turned red...red as an apple
OMG
"You're child?"
He nods
Holy shit!
"Since when did the two of you meets?" I asked, the thought of him and Claire going to have a child won't sink in my mind.
"Since we arrived. I called her to meet up with me so that everything is going to cool between us already but...it happens that...I still love her" he confessed, blushing like a mad guy
I should be screaming right now and shoutign at Ethan but I didn't. I was happy! I am happy for him! At last! He will be a good boy now! He had a tough responsibility to handle.
I hugged Ethan for that. "You're going to be a Daddy!" I said happily almost in tears "Aren't you happy?" I smiled
Ethan grins widely but there is something different. He's happy and glad "I am very happy. I love Claire and that's why I can't move on from her. I still love her and now we are having baby"
"But why are you in the hospital?" I asked
"She had her first scan yesterday and I said I want to be next to her. She is in her second month now"
"You've been dating her behind my back for 2 months?!" I shouted "How dare you?!"
"Remember when you had a date with Paul? The last date you had when I told you that I have a date with a 43 years old woman?"
I nod. How can remember that? It's a Night to Remember
"It was her and something happened between us that night then she got angry at me because I didn't use any protection and that's why I came home early and pissed. That's the reason. I had an unprotected love making with her"
I was silent when he told me.
What should I say? Good job?
"But I am so happy for you, my friend" I told him "...sooo happy"
"Thanks, Laura. Me too, I'm so happy" he replied, smiling back, God, my friend is going to be a Father and so is my other friend. Chris had a daughter! That leaves me alone.
"So, back to the hospital where you talked to Paul...what did he said?" I asked
"Oh that..." he thought for a second, thinking of his chat with Paul "...Oh, we just had a little talk about business, you know the usual stuff, and I asked him about you and what happened between you two when he brought you home. He said he is making up to you and he is willing to do everything just for you to forgive him. Then I asked him as well in how did it go then he said you told him not to see each other again and I can see that he is terribly hurt”
What that was a long speech. “You are such a sadist, you know. Laura, since when did you became so harsh? The Laura I know is sweet, kind and one of the bravest girl I met. Where is she?”
I don’t know the answer as well. She’s here but she’s not
“What do you want me to do? Douglas is going to kill me and even me...not only him but destroy his whole company” I spoke scared that it might happen because of me. I don’t want that to happen.
“Easy, my little Lauraine, give the bastard a chance” he smirked, giving emphasis on the ‘bastard’ part then he added "...And I saw him again earlier, and it not a good one"
“What?” I asked confused
“This is your chance Laura, before it is too late” then he paused and smiled at me “Go after him and tell him you love him. Don't ruin your life like me when I had a mistake 2 years ago. Nothing can give you this happiness except for the one you love"
The one I love
Love
Paul
