The next morning I was thinking about Ethan. About what he said. I jumped when the door opened. Mom came in my room. "You seem jumpy." Mom said. I told her what Ethan said. "Is that what you want?" Mom asked. Yeah." I said. "Then tell him that." Mom said. I called Ethan. He answered on the first ring. "Can we meet at the park in an hour?" I asked. "I'll be there." Ethan said. I told mom where I was going and left. I took a different way. I got there before him. I sat down on the bench. A while later Ethan came. "What do you want to tell me?" He asked. "I was thinking about it and I realized that I like you too Ethan." I said. "You do?" Ethan asked. "Yes." I said. I moved my hand to his. Ethan knew what I was doing and grabbed my hand. Just then we were pulled apart. "Not you guys again." I said. "Yes. Us again." One guy said. We tried to run but the guy had more buddies. One guy grabbed Ethan's wrist. "Let go of me!" Ethan yelled. Someone grabbed my wrist. I struggled to get free. The guy tightened his grip on Ethan. The guy's grip on me tightened. The guy grabbed Ethan's other wrist. I felt something tighten around my wrists. I looked at Ethan. There was fear in his eyes. Then someone covered my eyes. I was pushed into a car. After a while, I was pulled out. They pushed me. After awhile, they removed the blindfold. One guy removed the blindfold from Ethan. Then they left locking the door from the outside. I started to cry. Ethan sat next to me. "Yesterday was fun." He said. Using my free hand I wiped my tears. "I really hate to see you like this." Ethan said. "You really want to know what I'm going through?" I asked. "You need to tell someone. I would never judge you." Ethan said. "I'm being bullied a lot." I said. I told him everything. About the texts. The photos. Everything. I actually felt better telling him everything. In the middle of telling him, I actually stopped crying. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up. The guy was standing there. "I heard your story." He said. "You did?" I asked. "Yeah. And I made you feel worse." He said. "You kinda did." I said. "That's why we're letting you guys go." He said. "Really?" Ethan asked. "No." The guy said. "Why not?" I asked. "Quit your whining!" The guy snapped. Ethan broke out of the rope. The guy grabbed his wrist. He got out handcuffs. He attached one of them on Ethan's wrist. Then he attached the other one on my wrist. Then he left. I really lost it. I started crying again. Ethan came over to me. He put his free hand on my shoulder. "That guy's a jerk." Ethan said. "I know." I said. "Just great. There was a dance tonight and I was planning on going with you." Ethan said. "I never been to a dance." I said. Ethan held out his hand. I grabbed it and Ethan intertwined our hands. I put my head on Ethan's shoulder. Soon we were both asleep.
