Night time was probably not the best time to be wandering around outside, but Beth didn't care. She was tired of sitting around at home and wanted to just get out. After changing out of her nighty into a pair of cute jeans and a pink Aeropostale hoodie, Beth headed out of her home and down the street, not knowing exactly where she would end up or who she would meet.
Her cell phone was sticking slightly out of her black purse and as Beth walked on, she heard it ringing.
"Hello?" she questioned, not bothering to look at the caller id before answering it.
Beth, hey girl, what's up?
"Oh hey. Nothing much, just walking around. You?" Beth asked her friend.
I'm just home alone being bored. Can you come over and keep me company? It's creepy here alone.
"Sure, be there in a little bit. Just let me..." Beth looked around. Where was she? She had been walking down her street and then....wow time did fly. She circled around, trying to figure out where in the world she was. "Oh no...I'm lost." she told the girl on the phone.
Crap. Mom's back. Talk to you later Beth.
"NO! Don't hang up!" Beth yelled....too late. She didn't have a clue as to where she was. Beth looked at her phone and was about to dial her sister to come find her when....
Beep, Beep
Her phone only beeped twice before it died. "Oh great. Where in the hell am I?!" Beth almost shouted.
Oh god. The back roads.
It was the only reaonable thing to explain why nothing looked familiar. She couldn't call anyone since her phone had just died. Beth's eyes scanned the streets. She didn't want to get hurt or anything, but she was from the respectable part of town and from her clothes, the people who lived here would know this.
Why tonight? Why now?
Beth was slightly startled as she thought she saw something running in front of her. Backing up slowly, Beth screamed when she was stopped by someone from moving any farther. Turning around quickly she noticed it was none other than....

Ethan had been wondering around that night.He had had a few beers and decided not to drive home.He wasn't the smartest guy in the world,but he did think most of the time before he acted.With his keys in his pockets,he walked down the road and soon found himself somewhere were he had no clue where he was.So,he decided to wonder around and sooner or later he'd find his way back home.
After an hour,or so,he got tired of walking and layed down in the grass.He layed there thinking about everything.About his son,about his family,and about how he was lieing to everyone.It wasn't that he was ashamed of it,but he was scared of what his parents would do,or think.Ethan sighed and put his hands behind his head,before hearing a beep.He sat up and looked around.When he saw where the beeping was coming from he got up and started running towards it."Elizabeth?"he asked,as he got closer.

As her eyes adjusted to the darkness, Elizabeth realized who the figure was and smiled. "God, Ethan, you scared the hell out of me!" She wasn't really mad, but shocked. Of all the people to find in the middle of the night, walking around in the back roads, Beth sure as hell didn't except it to be the one person she was actually glad to see. "I thought you were going to be some pyscho who'd try to kill me." she said, slightly joking, but she was actually serious. You'd be amazed at the kinds of people who wondered around these roads late at night. Including the two who were standing in the middle of the street right then and there.
"What're you doing here anyways?" she questioned, her voice not as frantic as it was when she first realized where she was. Actually, if she was going to be lost in the middle of no where, being lost, there was no one she was safer being around than Ethan. He was like her protector or something. Even if they were just friends, he always seemed to be around when something was going wrong. Her hero. Yea, that was it.

"Sorry."Ethan said and stepped closer to her,"It's just me,no worries."He smiled and looked around then back to her.As he looked around,he noticed something,she was the only thing around he could really see.Why was that?Was it because that's all he wanted to see?"I was at a party and decided it was smarter not to drive home."he said and looked at her,smiling,"A better question is,why are you out here all alone?It's not to smart honey."Ethan smiled and moved beside her."You looked scared."he said,"So,I came to make sure you're ok."

A smile seemed to be the only thing Beth could do. Sure, she was still panicked and a little freaked out by the figure standing beside her and the way he graced her prescence, but she couldn't help but smile. Why you may ask? Duh. Because it was Ethan. "Jeesh. You could have killed me with that little stunt." she joked, putting a hand to heart and being majorly dramatic before laughing and crossing her arms in the cold. She shivered slightly, but you would be too if it was cold enough to see your own breath and you only had on a hoodie and jeans which was more for looks than anything. "Ahh...A party. Wonder why I wasn't invited." she said with a smile. She was joking of course. Beth had been invited to practically every party that was held in Crystal Falls. Most of the time though, she wouldn't go unless she knew the people personally. Hence why she was only seen at parties around her friend's houses or her own.
When he questioned her as well, Beth put on this innocent look and tried to play it cool. Why was she out there all alone anyways? Besides the fact that she just wanted to get away from her parents screams, she had no reason to be wondering the streets this late at night. Well, she wasn't so much wondering as she was getting lost. She still didn't know where in the heck she was, but then again, being with Ethan, she really didn't care. "Oh you know. Just felt like walking around to escape my parent's screaming and then sort of...kinda...got lost." Well it was the truth. "Well, of course I looked scared. I look hott and there's a lot of crazy people that wonder the streets at night. Plus, I'm weak, I could have easily been kid-napped. But thanks for coming to my rescue oh prince." she joked, putting on this adoring face as if she was a fan girl meeting her favorite star before bursting into giggles.

Ethan could tell she was cold and took his phone out of his jacket pocket before taking it off.He put it around her shoulders and smiled."You look cold."he said,still smiling.Ever since he had started talking to her,he hadn't really stopped smiling."You're parents are still fighting?"he asked,"I'm sorry."Ethan smiled and wrapped his arms around her from behind.He leaned in towards her ear and whispered."Of course you're hott,but no one's gonna kidnapp you while I'm here."He kissed her neck a little and smirked.

Beth smiled when Ethan placed his jacket around her shoulders. "Thanks!" she said with a smile, slipping her arms into the jacket and folding her arms to keep herself warm. "You sure you don't need a jacket?" she asked, worried that he might get cold too. When asked about her parents, Beth just nodded. Of course they were fighting. It seemed since Beth's 16th birthday, that was all they ever did. What about, she still didn't know. Sometimes she would hear her name mentioned, but, like always, Beth wouldn't think nothing of it. It wasn't her fault her parents were always fighting...Right? Right.
As Ethan's arms wrapped around her from behind and he whispered in her ear, Beth smirked and lifted her hands up, holding his arms around her. She was actually quite comfortable given the place she was in, but being with Ethan, for some reason, made it all worth while. Why he was always around when she was scared, Beth didn't know. She did know however that everytime he was around, she would fall for him a little more each time. "Is that so?" she questioned, her voice speaking in a teasing manner as her head tilted to one side when he kissed her neck.

"I'll be fine."he said and smiled.Ethan didn't get it.Why was she the only girl he'd change for her?What was so special about her?The only explaination he could find for it was the way he felt when he was around her.That and the way he'd fall for her more and more everytime he saw her.When she nodded her head,he kissed her cheek and smiled."Don't worry about them,honey."he said,"I'm always here for you."
Ethan seemed to have a way with showing up to her rescue whenever she need him.He smiled as she put her arms on his and scooted closer to her."Yes,it is."he said and kissed her neck a little more,"No one will touch you while I'm here."

Beth smiled when he said he'd be fine and joked, "Good, cause I wouldn't give it back anyways." It was funny how quickly her mood could change whenever Ethan showed up. Like one minute she was freaking out and then the next she was just plain comfortable in his arms. He always had a way of making her smile. Why was that? Beth didn't know...Or maybe she did. When he kissed her cheek and spoke up, Beth just smiled. Her parents were one of those things she didn't think about much. Mostly because it didn't matter what they did, to her anyways. "I'm glad. Without you, I would have freaked out about them a long time ago."
Another smile graced the girls lips as she stood there in his arms, his words making her melt. He was always like this, even if they weren't together, and everytime he would say something, Beth would wish more and more that they could be serious. It was funny how he was the only one she was willing to change for. Beth had been called the 'school slut' more times than she can count, but with Ethan, it wasn't like he judged her like that. He was different and she loved that. "Aww...Not even you?" she joked.

Ethan couldn't stop smiling whenever she was around.Sometimes he hated it because people would ask him why he's so happy.He laughed when she said she wouldn't of given it back and kissed her neck a few times.He pulled her closer into him and smiled."Of course I will."he said and rubbed his cheek against hers,"But only if you want ,me to."Ethan tightened his grasp around her and smiled.Why was it that he was willing to change for her?
