"I still love you... you know that right?" Cody asked me softly, staring into my eyes, and his thumb ran under my eyes and my cheek. I nodded my head at him, not really in the mood to speak. I wanted to enjoy him right now. The elevator was silent, and I loved it. I just want him to be here with me in this silence. We were completely alone. Unfortunately, the way to my mom's floor is really short and there isn't much time.

I lean up and pecked his lips, just because I can. Just because he's here right now, and he probably might not be here tomorrow. I have to cherish this moment - we all know it won't last forever. I don't want to ask Cody how long he's staying (which I just have a feeling is not very long) because don't want to think about time.

Cody's hand remained on my face as he deepened the kiss. He stepped us back, that way I was pressed against the wall, and his hands went down to my waist. His fingers touched my skin as he put his hands beneath my top. He pressed himself against me, making me want him even more. My fingers laced through his hair behind is head and I softly pulled it when he began to suck my soft spot on my neck. God, I missed this. I missed him. I missed this feeling I get from him and only him. 

I heard the elevator's bell ding but Cody just ignored it, and that thrilled me. He's so defiant. No one does this shit in a hospital's elevator, especially when the doors begin to open, but Cody. He just never stops and I love it... so much.

"Gross," I heard someone say, and my eyes instantly open, and I gently push Cody off. I see a female, with a disgusted look, then I see Ashton, with furrowed eyebrows. "Ethan?" he speaks.

"You know them?" she looked back at him with that disgusted look of hers, which just made me feel to snap her neck. She was clinging to him; hooking onto his arm and holding his hand as well. I could only suppose that was the girlfriend he was referring to when he told me about her.

"Who's he?" Cody asked me with furrowed eyebrows. I sigh softly before taking his hand and walking out of the elevator, making sure to bounce her as I pass. Ashton and his bitch of a girlfriend turn to look at us. "Uh he's just a patient I talk to," I tell Cody. I wish Ashton actually like me so that my words could have hurt him. Why did he have to find that wretch to be his girlfriend? She's not even all that pretty. The first time I heard of her, I hated her, and admittedly, I had zero reason to. I hated the fact that she had Ashton and I want him. But now, it's not just that. Now my hatred has a justification. She said 'gross'. She's clearly homophobic. How did he even end up with someone like her?

"Just friends right?" Cody asked me.

"That's his girlfriend... I suppose..." I tell Cody.

"You're actually friends with him?" she scoffed. What the fuck is her problem? I rolled my eyes. I'm in no mood for her (or him...) so I just turn away from them. Tonight is good and I don't want anyone ruining that. 

"She seems like a bitch," Cody said to me as we began to walk away.

"I believe she is," I rolled my eyes. I glanced back at Ashton, who was hugging her, and I felt disgusted. I laced my fingers in Cody's hand and squeezed it, just so I know he was still there and things were good.

We finally arrived at my mother's station, where she was sat, talking to a friend. She probably felt our presence and she turned around to us, excusing herself from her conversation. She smiled, "Huh, you didn't leave the compound."

"Yes. And I brought him to say hi," I told her.

"Hey," Cody says awkwardly.

"I should slap you for what you did to my son," she folded her arms across her chest. I silently tried to tell her to go for it, but she didn't get my message. Our mother-son connection didn't work at that moment, or she would have received my message.

"I'm sorry, but-"

"Ethan is okay now, yeah?" she looked at me and I nodded. Cody flashed a smile at me then looked back to my mother. "But that doesn't mean I'm allowing you to do anything or go anywhere. Ethan, you're still grounded." I nod lazily and turn around so we can walk away to find a seat in the waiting room. As we did that, Cody asked, "Why are you grounded? And since when do you do stuff to get grounded?"

"It's a new me, okay. It comes with the whole 'no boyfriend' package."

"What does that even mean?" he laughed.

"It means that I'm done with the whole 'stay at home every night or visit the hospital daily to volunteer'. I go to parties... and drink alcohol. It's a new me," I explain, as we took a seat next to each other.

"That sounds exciting," he smirked.

"Yeah, it is. It would have been so much better if you were here..." I ran my finger along his thigh. I don't look to his eyes because I know he's tired of hearing me tell him. But I don't care. I want him to know I feel so annoyed by what he did.

"Ethan..." he said softly.

"Whatever," I rolled my eyes, "When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow. I only got one day," he said.

"And how's your soccer career?" I questioned.

"Hard as fuck... but I like it," he smiled.

"And the guys?" I rose an eyebrow. Cody smiled but said nothing. I huffed and leaned back in my seat while facing front. Cody ran his hand along my thigh and leaned across to kiss my cheek. He smiled, "You're so jealous."

"Of course I am. You're fucking some other random guy and I'm supposed to just be happy for you?" I folded my arms across my chest.

"Ethan, you're doing the same thing," he stated. I bit my bottom lip, "Yeah, but I still love you... and only you."

"And I still love you alone," he said, leaning in to peck my lips. I smiled at him but shook my head. He's so sickening sometimes. I know we're both doing the exact same thing and feel the exact same way about each other, but I still feel pissed off that he's doing it. I don't want him moping around, but why is it necessary to have sex. Can't he just like hang out with his football friends?

"Can we leave this place now?" he asked me with raised eyebrows.

"Uhm... I don't know.."

"I thought you're a rebel now?" he smirked. He's seriously challenging me. I could slap him. I'm trying to not get on my mom's bad side for the moment, but I also want to spend the most time with Cody as I can. He obviously doesn't want to be here, so the obvious thing to do is leave, right? I mean, I can always follow my mom's rules tomorrow.
