"But that's the thing, You did hurt me. Who cares if it was an accident, the least you could have done was be honest with me and tell me that it was you who did it. Sure, I would've been mad at you but I forgive, Y'know. And to see that you lied to me about it all just makes me sick." Chloe wanted to cry again because she really thought that Daniel was perfect, he held this special place in her heart and now all of that and him were going down the drain because of something he didn't confess up to. Ethan could see the discomfort and the sadness growing on Chloe's face, so he took it upon himself to wrap his arm around her and bring her back into the house, dismissing Daniel from the situation. "You should get out of here, you're making her upset." Ethan mumbled to Daniel, comforting Chloe as she began to cry softly. He didn't like seeing her so upset, he just wanted to go back inside and calm down Chloe before she could get even more frustrated.
Daniel stared at Ethan, acknowledging his arm slung around Chloe, and stared at him with such jealousy and anger, he had thought that Chloe was his and not to share with anyone else, but apparently he was wrong.
"And who the fuck are you? You should mind your own business before I fucking rip your head off." Daniel spit. Ethan wasn't looking for a fight, he wasn't one to engage in such violent activities, but the way he was speaking to him and making rosemary upset was enough to make Ethan want to slam Daniel's head onto the pavement beside them. "I'm.." Ethan couldn't think of whether he'd want to introduce himself as Chloe's boyfriend, or just a friend. He had thought he felt rather like a boyfriend to Chloe, let alone the fact that they were making out earlier, surely he meant more than a friend to her. "I'm her friend, but that doesn't matter- You're making her upset so you should just leave, it's not that hard to get into your crap car and drive away." Ethan spoke, frowning a bit as he introduced himself as a friend of Chloe's. "Oh, sure, Chloe has a lot of friends. I bet she's slept with you, yeah, she sleeps around with a lot of people, don't be surprised if she breaks your heart and sleeps with her therapist because she will." Daniel seethed and that made Chloe look up at him with glossy eyes and a gaping open mouth. She couldn't believe Daniel had just said that about her and neither could Daniel himself. He was just so angry about Chloe turning him down for prom and angry that Ethan was her shoulder to cry on, not him, that he felt hurt and wanted to hurt rosemary along with him. Ethan stared at him in confusion. Chloe goes to therapy? For what? He didn't believe what Daniel was saying about her sleeping around, I mean sure, Chloe has told him about the principal incident, but she seemed so self-conscious and shy a lot of times that she didn't seem like the type to sleep around with guys.
"Get out of here, Daniel." Chloe spoke with her teeth gritting.
"Why are you afraid of your boy toy finding out about you going to therapy? Too late. She goes to therapy because she's, like, addicted to sex or something, so if you're ever going to ask her out, I'll save you the trouble and just tell you that I guarantee you she will cheat on you because you're just not enough, isn't that right, Chloe?" Daniel spoke and Chloe looked down at the floor, quietly mumbling out for him to please stop. Ethan stared at Chloe, waiting for an explanation to come out of this. Truth was that Ethan really did want to be able to call Chloe his girlfriend, but hearing those words come out Daniel's mouth, he wasn't too sure on anything anymore. Ethan didn't want to get cheated on. He didn't even know that Chloe attended therapy sessions. "I don't go to therapy because of that." Chloe spoke up.
"Then why do you go, huh?" Daniel asked and Chloe's mouth zipped shut. She was too embarrassed to tell the real reason why she had to attend therapy and why she was so fucked up.
"I don't have to tell you, it's not your business." Chloe pathetically mumbled. She wanted to prove to them that she wasn't addicted to sex like Daniel had said she was, but she couldn't and wouldn't tell them the truth behind it all. "See, because you know I'm right." Daniel spit. He looked at Chloe one last time before scoffing at walking away to where he got into his supposedly crap car and left. Chloe could only watch as he drove off, wiping away the tears that were already drying into her skin. She tugged on Ethan's hand, mumbling a soft C'mon as she walked into the house but he stood there in place on the porch. "Why do you go therapy, I want the truth." Ethan mumbled to her, wanting answers himself. Chloe sighed and looked away from him.
"I- I can't tell you, Ethan, I'm sorry." She quietly mumbled and Ethan just nodded, his heart seeming to stop and freeze up.
"I gotta get going, My
