Confusing // Ethan Dolan

Chapter twenty

"Andrew Taggart?" The veins in his forehead are very noticeable. He's angry, I can barely look at him and when I do, I regret telling him what happened. I know Ethan and he always reacts like this to almost everything that happens in his life. Believe me or not I'm not over exagerating.

"Yes, it isn't a big deal though--" I'm cut off by his obvious pissed off voice. It's weird for me to say it isn't a big deal and even defend Andrew for his acts, but I'm just trying to calm Ethan down.

"It isn't a big deal?" He yells, "it is a fucking big deal, Malena, don't you see it? He could've done anything to you, who knows what those drinks had? Fuck. I'm going to beat the living shit out of him."

"Ethan, stop! You need to calm down baby, what's done it's done and you can't do anything about it. I'm perfectly fine and I don't care about what happened the other night," I grab his hand and rub his thumb with my thumb.

"I can do something about it. I'm going to do something about it." He says getting more and more mad by the second, "what if he wanted to hook up with you? He would've taken advantage from you, you were fucking wasted for God's sake."

"He didn't want to, he didn't even try to get with me. Listen, you need to calm down." He looks at me, his eyes are full of anger "please?"

I have to admit it. Andrew called me beautiful and stuff like that, but just in a flirty-friendly type of way, isn't it? I mean, I met him two days ago and had a five minutes conversation but still I can call it 'friendly.' He's at Cameron's place right now, so he wouldn't have tried something with me. Besides, he knows I'm dating Ethan, I assume he read I was texting him when we were at the kitchen, and almost everyone at school knows it. Andrew's a senior and so is Ethan, they're obviously not friends but they know each other.

"Fine. But I better don't find out if he does something stupid again because you know what I will do."

I can't argue with Ethan this time. I don't want him to fight with this guy but if he founds out about Cameron and him, he's going to freak out and react just like he did three minutes ago.

I'm going to put him in a good mood in one second. "Do you want to order pizza?" I know the answer for this question. Lately I've been craving pizza, since Violet and I are doing some kind of challenge in which we only eat healthy food, I haven't ate pizza in a long time. Plus it's his favorite food.

"Of course." I grab his phone and call the pizza place, ordering what we always order: a large pepperoni pizza.

One hour later we're eating in my room while talking. I love talking to Ethan, he's an amazing and interesting person. The way he thinks, the way he sees some things that I could never even imagine someone could see it that way. He makes me fall in love with him again everyday. It's crazy how he can scream at the top of his lungs one second, and the other one talk about art and music that gives him peace.

Cameron's POV

Saying I'm nervous can't describe the situation at all. I'm beyond nervous, I can hear my own heart beating as hard as it has ever beated. My legs and hands are shaking.

It might seem stupid, getting this nervous for a simple thing: a boy meeting my parents, but think about it. A boy who's 19 years old and still in high school, spent the night at my house, isn't a friend of my brothers, in fact they dislike him, and I met him two days ago.

I have no clue on what my parents are going to think or what my brothers are going to think, since any of them were home last night. I may seem like a nonchalant girl or an "i-don't-care-about-a-thing" girl but I'm not. I usually overthink things a lot and create scenarios in my head that are most likely never ever going to happen.

I told the girls I was going to have sex with Andrew yet I knew I wasn't going to. We did stuff and he tried to have sex with me, but I told him I didn't want to. To be honest I'm not ready for any guy to stick his dick inside of me, even if they're as hot as Andrew.

"Mom, dad, this is Andrew," we went to the kitchen where they were having breakfast.

"Nice to meet you, Andrew." My dad says as they do a hand shake.

My mom's smiling at me, "would you like something to eat? Andrew, Cameron? Any of you?" She asks politely, I'm certain she thinks we're a couple, and I don't blame her because I would think the same too if I was in her shoes.

"No, thank you Miss Dolan. It's time for me to go." Drew says, earning a sad look from my mom. I know her so well, I know she was excited.

My parents and him are saying their goodbyes, it sounds like he is my boyfriend. That's the last thing I want.

I'm searching for the keys, they're usually on the counter but right now they aren't. Maybe Grayson or Ethan took them.

"Mom, have you seen my keys?" I ask.

"No honey, go ask your brothers." She answers.

Suddenly, I hear someone unlocking the doorbell. When the door opens, I see Ethan. "Do you have my keys?" is the only thing I ask, but he didn't paid attention to me. He was staring at Andrew, blankly, with a look on his face I have never ever seen.

"What are you doing here?"
