Always (E.D)

Chapter Eight

He ran towards me.

"You gotta be quiet okay?" I told him.

"Of course." He whispered.

I grabbed his hand and led him through the house, back to my room.

Back up the stairs, Ethan tripped. He caught himself in a push-up position.

"I tripped." He said. I squated down and covered his mouth.

"Quiet." I whispered.

He got up and we finally got into my room.

"Whoa. We were like ninjas." He said.

"I guess." I smiled. "You still gotta be quiet."

He nodded and sat on my bed.

"Wow. You really do like yellow." He said.

My bed set was yellow, my walls were yellow, almost everything was yellow.

"Yeah. I do." I sat down next to him.

"I'm really glad you said yes." He said.

"Me too." I nodded.

"Wanna watch TV?" I asked.

"Sure." He said.

I turned on the TV. Finding Nemo was on. Ethan seemed really interested so I left it on.

"Cuddle?" He asked.

I nodded as we laid down. His arms were safely wrapped around me as we watched the movie.

It was different. I felt more safe around him than anybody else. He's not like Matthew. Maybe I could open up to him. Maybe I'm wrong.

But... I could be right. He could be different then I think he is. All my thoughts were stressing me out. Thoughts and emotions would always be my weaknesses.

After the movie was over I looked at Ethan. He was fast asleep. I reached for my phone. It was almost 9.

My mom and dad were asleep. My brother was probably playing Fortnite. I guess it couldn't hurt if he stayed with me.

I turned over to face him. He looked so cute when he was sleeping.

I moved a little so I could be comfy. Ethan quickly woke up.

"It's over?" He asked in a raspy voice.

"Yeah." I said.

"Aw." He whined. "I'm sorry I didn't watch it with you."

"You were tired, baby. Don't apologize. Go to sleep okay." I told him.

"But you're not tired." He said.

"I'm gonna go to sleep too." I answered.

"M'kay." He muffled.

He burried his face into my neck.

"Goodnight." I said carrsing his cheek.

"Goodnight, baby." He answered.

I shut my eyes and tried to go to sleep.

-The Next Morning-

The next morning when I woke up Ethan wasn't there. If he wasn't in my room. He could be seen. I lifted my head from my pillow and looked around. One of my bright pink sticky notes was on my pillows.

Dear Remi,
Good morning. I decided to go home so no one would find me when we woke up. I hope you slept good. I like sleeping next to you. I'll call you later.
