The Cethan Story

Evermy [3]

-Ethan's POV-

We, Casey and I, were still in my room. Surprisingly, no one had come up and told us to come back down. Casey just started looking at me; then a small blush formed on my cheeks. "Oh my god, Ethan!" He suddenly shouted, turning his whole body in the process, "WHO DO YOU LIKE?"

I looked at him, letting out a little laugh while responding, "No," I raised an eyebrow at him, "What about you? Who's this lover boy like?" He looked away for a moment, I'm pretty sure thinking to himself,. He turned to look at me with a smirk creeping onto his face.

"Do you really want to know?" Casey asked, slowly drifting his body closer to mine. My eyes widened, but I dared show any feeling. "Isn't that why I asked?" I said, rolling my eyes also.

"Well," he said, leaning his head on my shoulder, "This person is amazing. They have the most gorgeous and smoothest hair. Their personality is incredible, even though they can be a bitch sometimes. But, I've started to feel an attraction toward that person recently."

"Oh?" 

"Yea, remember when we were reading The Fault in Our Stars?" I nodded my head, wondering where he was getting at. "That quote, 'I fell in love the way you fall asleep; slowly, than all at once.' I kind of feel like it's so relatable, now. Like, I got to know them thinking they'll just be a friend. But I ended up having feelings for them."

My eyes traveled to his, and they suddenly stop focusing on everything else. His eyes suddenly turned a shade darker than they is usually were.

"Yea, and who might that person be?" I asked, my heart had felt weird, like it was being dragged down for some reason.

"Well..." He said, his voice deeper than usual, "I think I love them."

My heart squeezed in pain and there was a lump in my throat, but I quickly escaped from the feeling. I felt hands on my shoulders and my body being turned in Casey's way. He looked hesitant, but he moved forward, putting his lips closer to my ear, "I think, that you..." he started to trace patterns across my arm; I let out a small breath, "are a really good charmer." He pulled back and sat back in his previous position. "But the person I really like is a secret."

I laughed at this, "So, give me the best d–" I started off, but my sentence was cut off by a high pitched moan coming from the guest room, across from my own. A small chuckle left my mouth as Casey went up, but soon later returns and grabbed my wrist. Let's go, he mouths at me.

When we get closer to the door we soon realize that the one moaning was Evelyn. Casey's face started to turn red from holding in the laughter, I'm sure my face was just as bad. As soon as he opens the door, we both burst into fits of laughter, doubling over onto the ground.

We witnessed Jeremy leaving hickeys on Evelyn's neck, but when Casey pulled the door open, they jumped away from each other, both their faces pale and surprised. "Casey, you fucking asshole." Evelyn swore as she fixed her top. I looked over at Jeremy, his face was flushed and he was crossing his legs together. As I regained my structure, I moved ver to Jer and looked at what he was trying to cover.

"JEREMY ALEX WILSON." I yelled, "YOU'RE TURNED ON BY EVELYN." Jeremy flushed even a deeper red and he got up to go into the bathroom.

"Jeremy, please don't wank while you're in there." Casey said, as Evelyn threw one of the pillows, from the mattress, at his face. He laughed even harder. "Did you want to join him?" He said, stumbling up and trying to run away from Eve.

*^*^*^*^*

"You guys, I'm hungry." Ally moaned from the corner of the room. We were all getting ready to get to the movies, Evelyn and Jeremy were kind of avoiding each other from the incident that happened earlier. Casey snickered at Evelyn, she shot him a glare and he instantly shut up.

"We'll go to 7/11 before we arrive at the movie theater, yea?" Casey said to Ally, her face instantly brightened and she jumped up. She took Zoe's, Casey's and Evelyn's hand and dragged them toward the door. "Let's go." She said, extending the 'o'. I threw my vans on and walked towards Evelyn's range rover, since that was the biggest car with us right now.

"Shot gun!" Jeremy called out, a smile stretching on his face.

"Well, don't finger her while driving; we might die on the way." I laughed out.  

When we sat in our seats, I immediately grabbed the aux cord, turning on my phone, I scrolled through my playlist.

"Why does Ethan always get to pick the songs?" Ally whined from the other side of Zoe, "His music taste is weird."

"Shut up, Ally," I laughed, "If we let you pick the song, you'll choose Iggy." Zoe started to erupted laughter, so did Casey.

"Oh my god," Ally said, "She's not that bad."

"Whatever you say." I said, leaning back into my seat.

*^*^*^*

We bought our tickets to go watch, The Duff, after we went to 7/11 and bought an enormous amount of junk food, mostly for Ally. Though, we had to sneak it in the movie theaters because Jeremy refused to pay $4.15 for a bag of skittles. Apparently, he could 'rent a stripper with that money.'

We sat in the middle row, with Casey, Zoe, and I, the others sat in the row in front of us. We waited for the movie to start and Ally got up, telling us she had to use the restroom. We were fine with it, she only needed to hurry up so she didn't miss any parts.

The movie finally started, but the beginning seemed boring. So Casey and I started whispering to each other.

"Hey, what do you think about the blonde?" Casey whispered to me, checking out the girl in the row across from us. I gave him an incredulous look, and pointed at her boyfriend. His smile slowly started to fade, but he turned his head, and started looking into my eyes. "You have really pretty eyes." He whispered, examining them more.

"You can barely see them, dumbass." I whispered, taking a look at the young couple sitting across from us. They looked so in love. God, I wish I had someone to do that with. I thought. Turning my attention back to Casey, he came closer to my ear and said, "But I'll always remember them."

A small smile dawned onto my face as I started to watch the movie. I instantly looked away because I felt someone playing with my hair, leaning on my shoulder as well.

"Your hair is really soft, Ethan." He mumbled, running his hands down my hair.

"Thanks Casey, I like yours as well." I said to him.

He buried his face into the crook of my shoulder; I leaned back more due to feeling uncomfortable.

We were watching the movie, until I heard Casey mumble something into my shirt. "What did you say?"

"Nothing," He said, looking a tad bit embarrassed.

I was sure I heard the lines along 'stay like this forever.' Or my mind was playing tricks on me.

Casey started whispering, "Why is she doing that? She can totally find someone better."

"And if it was you?" I asked him, raising my eyebrow.

"If it was me, I would've picked–"

We felt a hand shoot out from Casey's side. "Sorry guys, I wanted some popcorn." Ally said, grabbing the bucket of popcorn we were sharing.

"It's fine," I said, "So what were you saying Casey?"

"Never mind, let's just finish the movie."

And in that moment,

I swear,

We were infinite.
