It Started With Among Us (slow updates)

Chapter 5

Ethan Pov
Mak had asked me what I wanted for my upcoming birthday. The truth is, the only thing I really wanted was her to like me the way I like her and to spend the day with her. I couldn't tell her that though. We had an amazing friendship. One that I just couldn't ruin.

So all I said was, "Uh I don't know." She gave me a dirty look. She knew I wanted something. She knows me too well.
"Mhm sure." She laid her head back on my chest, struggling to keep her eyes open.
"Go to sleep,"
"Nooooo"
"Just do it Mackenzie, it's late and you need it."

It's been so long since I called her by her full name. I started calling her "Mak" only days after meeting her. It almost felt wrong calling her Mackenzie now. She finally closed her eyes and we both went to sleep.

I woke up the next morning at around 9:30. Mak was still sleeping, so I carefully moved her off of me, and headed downstairs. I decided that I was going to cook her a nice breakfast. I made her, her favourite smoothie, with some bacon and toast. I brought it upstairs and set it on the bedside table.

"Hey Mak time to wake up. I made you breakfast."
She woke up, then stretched before sitting up.
"Thank you" she said in a sleepy voice. 'She's so cute when she's tired' I thought to myself.

We went out with our friends for the day. I drove her home and bought her starbucks on the way.
"Thanks again for the drive."
"It was no problem." I replied.
"But try to get some sleep tonight though. You have a volleyball game tomorrow and I'm picking you up."
"I'll try"

I waited until she was safely inside before driving off. When I got home, I played video games with my friends for a bit before going to bed.
