5 little boys (A 1D Superhero Story)

Chapter 23

Thursday evening

Harry's P.O.V

"Harry?" Ethan said, shaking my arm.

"Hm?"

I lifted my head to see Ethan sitting on front of his bed.

"What's this?"

He lifted the drawing of me tied to a chair and I rubbed my eyes.

"Where did you find that?" I asked.

"It was in your bag."

"So, you were going through my stuff?"

"I didn't mean to. I was just getting your math book out and this fell out."

I reached over and grabbed the drawing, crumpling it up and shoved it into my pocket.

Out of sight, out of mind. I thought.

"Don't worry about it." I said and laid my head back down, shutting my eyes.

"Well, I am worrying about it cause it's you Harry." Ethan said.

"It's nothing. "

"That's not nothing. "

"Ethan, please drop it."

"But we always drop everything. "

Ethan please stop. I thought.

"Remember when I said that you don't have to tell me everything... Just don't lie to me." Ethan said.

I lifted my head to look at him. He was sitting on the edge of his bed as I was laid on my stomach.

"Yes."

"Well, I changed my mind... I want you to tell me everything. " Ethan said.

I sighed.

"Ethan, you don't want to know. "

"Yes, I do."

"No, you don't. "

"I do."

"Ethan, I don't want to fight about this."

"Then stop fighting me."

Ethan, please. I thought.

I rolled off the bed, turning my back to him as I picked up my glass of water and toke a sip.

"Tell me what the drawing means?" Ethan said.

"It's just a drawing. It means nothing."

"You're lying. "

I sighed in frustration and looked at him.

"And you're being stubborn."

"No, I'm not. I'm just worried about MY boyfriend."

"Well, I'm not dragging you into this."

"Dragged me into what?"

"Ethan, Just DROP IT!" I shouted.

When I looked into Ethan's eyes they were starting to water and he quickly looked away from me.

Shit.

"Ethan, I didn't mean to yell at you." I said, setting the glass down and walking over to him but, he held his hand up stopping me.

"It's fine... It's fine."

But it's not.

He pulled his glasses off to wipe his eyes and placed them back on. I sat a foot away from him and held my arms open for him.
