||Ethens POV||I woke up in a soft bed, and felt something heavy weighing down on me. I look down to see Jackson laying on me, and his arms tightly around me with no intention of letting go anytime soon. I tried to remember how I got here but I have no memory of last night at all. I tried to get up and escape his grasp but I just pulled back down.
"Nooo.. let me sleep, I'm comfortable.." Jackson said shifting a bit to get a better hold of me.
"What happened last night?? Why am I at your place?" I tried to sit up again, but instead of Jackson pulling me down in place, I felt a sharp pain in my head and upper back.
"Be careful!" Jackson said with a concerned look on his face.
"Ok you better start talking. Why am I here? Why does my back hurt and why-"I asked as an answer that made me heat up filled my mind.
"We.. didn't.. did we?" I ask.
"WHAT! NOOO!" Jackson yelled as his face turned a bright red.
"THEN WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT!!" I yelled, I could tell my face was just as red as his.
"Ok, ok! Last night I was walking to my kitchen and I found Jazmyn climbing through my window."
"SHE CLIMBED THROUGH YOUR WINDOW"
"Yeah... but I told her to leave and she said she sent her brother to beat you up.."
"Oh wait, that still didn't answer my question." I say confused about where this story's going.
"Well she told me her brother didn't listen and went way too far. He kidnapped you.."
"Wait.. then how am I here..?"
"Um.. i kinda broke into his house and took you back to my place.." he said as he got up off the bed.
"Oh.. well thank you.." I say as I get up and look in the mirror on his door. I was covered in cuts and bruises, the thing that really got my attention was a big bandage round my left leg.
"What happened to my leg?" I ask as I turn to look at Jackson.
"I don't know for sure but I think it got cut on some glass. It's a pretty deep cut so just be careful walking around."||Jacksons POV||
It was 11am, Ethan and I were laying on the bed. I felt him move so I held him because I wasn't ready to wake up after the hectic night. Ethen asked me what happened last night he doesn't remember anything he asked if we did anything. My face got bright red. I yelled no, he asked what happened then I explained what happened.
About an hour later I was in the kitchen making some lunch, as Ethen was getting ready for the day. After lunch we go out to get Ethen some clothes that actually fit him, I offered to take him home, but he said he wanted to stay over here for another night.
"What about your dad? Won't he be worried?" I ask as we get in my truck.
"Well.. he'd probably be more mad then worried, and I don't feel like being yelled at right now." He said as I started to drive.||Ethens POV||
We've been at the mall for only about 20 minutes and Jacksons already spent like $200 on clothes. I insisted I'd pay, since it is my stuff, but he would just cut me off and pay for it himself.
"Where did you get all this money from?" I asked.
"I will tell you later because there are a lot of people around us at the moment" he said as we walked out of the store we were in.
"Are you hungry?" He asked.
"Yes," I said, "but I don't know what I want"
"Well there's this really good restaurant that has pasta and pizza." He said.
It was the nicest restaurant in town. I got spaghetti and he got a pizza. The bill was $400 dollars.
"I'm paying." I said but he just pushed me aside.
"Where do you get all this money from," I ask again.
"I will tell you when we get home." He said.
"Okay"
He took me to get ice cream and we went to the park.
"Can you tell me here?" I asked
He just got out of the car and opened my door.
As we watched the sunset he said "you really wanna know huh?"
"Yes, why does it have to be so secretive??"
"Well.. ok, but you have to promise not to tell anyone."
"Ok I promise now just tell me already!!!"
"I don't know if you've noticed but I live alone.."
"Ok what does that have to do with anything??"
"Well..."
I was starting to get really annoyed. What was he not telling me.
"Well what? Spit it out already!"
