Oblivious

Chapter 6

I woke up to light shining in my eyes. I yawned and tried to stretch but my arm hit something. I slightly turned my head to see that Ethan's head was inches away from mine. I looked down to find that his arm were wrapped around my waist. How is a girl supposed to react when her crush has his arms wrapped around her? No seriously someone tell me. I was actually enjoying it a lot until a thought hit me. "It's Tuesday!" I yelled and sat up. Ethan flopped out of the bed. I think I might have scared him. I heard him groan. I crawled to the edge of the bed and looked down at him. He started back up at me. "It's Tuesday." I say. "And?" Ethan asked. Oh god his morning voice. I grabbed my phone and checked the time. "It's Tuesday and 1:43. I'm going to let that information sink in." I say. He sits there for a second until I see realization wash over his face. "We are so late for school." He yells. "You think!" I say sarcastically. "Gray! We're late!" Ethan yelled. Grayson came walking into the room. "I know but there's really no point in going now." He said. He's right. There is only a few more hours of school left and we missed lunch. What's the point of going to school if you don't get lunch? Grayson left Ethan's room and I laid back down on the bed. Ethan got off the floor and laid down next to me.

We sat in comfortable silence until Ethan spoke up. "You talk in your sleep." He said. I look over at him. "I know. My dad would always joke about it because I use to say things about the boys I liked. What did I say last night?" I asked. I really hope I didn't say anything about Ethan. "You kept in saying it can't be them. Just over and over again." Ethan said. That's what I said when the police said my parents were in a car accident. I stayed silent. "What were you dreaming about?" He asked. I was dreaming about that night. "My parents." I say. We are now laying on our sides, facing each other. Our faces were inches apart. "What happened?" He whispered. I don't know why but I trust Ethan and I don't trust easily. "They died in a hit and run. They use to go on a date night every other Tuesday. They always went to this family run pizza place down the road from our house because it's where they had their first date. Since it was right down the road they always walked. So when the police told me they were involved in a car accident I said it it can't be them because they weren't driving. It turns out that as they were walking on the side walk someone swerved and just ran right over them. But I had to go down to the hospital by myself because Joselynn wasn't home that night. I had to ID them and when I saw them I didn't want to believe it so I kept repeating it can't be them over and over again. I still can't believe it." I say. I felt a tear slide down my face. Ethan place his hand on my face and wiped the tear away. He gave me a small smile. "It's going to be ok." He said.

I gave a sad smile. "Let's not talk about sad depressing stuff anymore. Let's do something else." I say. "Like sleep?" Ethan asked. "Sounds like a plan taco man." I say. Ethan lets out a small laugh. I close my eyes and slowly started to fall back asleep. I don't know why I'm so tired. Before I fully fall asleep I feel Ethan wrap his arms around my waist. At least I hope it's Ethan because if it wasn't that would be really creepy and I'd nope right out of there.

I woke up to giggles, yes giggles. Like sounds that wound come out of a 8 year old girl that just found out that the cutes boy in 2nd grade likes her. "Look at Ethan all snuggled up next Madison." I heard some one say. "I'm trying to sleep and if you don't shut up I will slit your knee caps and ship you to Antarctica." I mumble. "Well someone's a little sassy." I open my eyes and try to sit up so I can properly glare at Grayson but I heard Ethan groan from next to me and his grip tightened around my waist. "Well ain't that just cute." Grayson said. I roll my eyes. "Go away Grayson or I swear I will feed you to my tarantula." I threaten. I heard Grayson shiver. I don't think he likes spiders. Grayson turned around and walked out of Ethan's bedroom. Ok now to get up with out waking Mr.Sleeping Beauty here.

I gently grabbed one of just wrist and slowly started to lift it off I'm waist. Once his arm was high enough I scooted my body away from his then I slowly put his arm back down. I crawled out of the bed and went down the hall to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth then brushed my hair out before putting it in a messy bun on top of my head. I walk out of the bathroom and down the stairs. "You know Grayson it's not nice to make fun o-" I stopped talking because when I entered the kitchen Grayson was not alone. Jake Paul, like from vine, was sitting on a counter. I've had a internet crush on him for the longest time. "Hi I'm Jake." He says. "Uh yeah hi I'm Madison." I say. He points at me. "Are you wearing pants?" He asked. I looked down. I was still wearing my dads army sweater and my shorts. "Uh yeah." I say. I lift up the shirt a little so he could see my shorts.

Grayson, Jake, and I sat around talking till Ethan finally came down. "Ah there's Mr.Sleeping Beauty. How did you sleep?" I ask. "Very good actually. But I woke up cuddling an elephant." He said. "Hey only I can sleep with that elephant. He's very special to me." I say. "It has a name doesn't it." Ethan says. "What am I? 5?" I ask. "What's the name?" I look down at the floor. "Peanut." I say. The boys started to laugh. "Hey! Shawn Mendes carries around a stuffed lion every where he goes and he's 16. Laugh at him not me." I say. The boys eventually stop laughing. "I'm bored." Grayson said. "Yeah we should do something." Ethan said. "Let's go out on the dirt bikes." Jake said. "We only have two." Grayson pointed out. "Yeah but we have a four wheeler." Ethan said. "So two people will have to share." I said. I was obviously going to have to share with one of the boys. "Ok let's go!" Jake said and with that we headed outside.

"Wait! I have to change!" I say before rushing back inside and up to Ethan's room. I grabbed my bag and pulled out a pair of denim shorts and a cut off shirt. I threw off my pajamas and put on my clothes. I grabbed my converse high tops and put them on. I quickly rushed down the stairs. I was about to open the front door but I heard voices on the other side of the door. I usually don't eavesdrop but I heard my name and I wanted to know if they were calling me a looser. "Madison is really pretty, you guys are so lucky she lives right next door." I smile to myself. Jake Paul thinks I'm cute. I threw open the door and acted like I didn't hear what I just heard. "Let's do this!" I yell.
