Oblivious

Chapter 8

"Ethan!" I yelled. I can't believe he did that. "What is wrong with you!" I yelled. He saw about to speak but I stopped him. "You know what I don't care." I turned around and looked at Jake. He was covering his nose and I saw blood drip off his hand. "Jake come with me." I say. I grab the hand that he wasn't using to cover his nose and I walked as fast as I could to my house. It's hard to walk with crutches. I led Jake into my house. Grayson came with us. "Ok Grayson you can just wait in the living room. Jake come with me." I say. I led Jake into the downstairs bathroom. "Ok just sit there and I'll get a rag." Jake sat on the counter and I opened a cabinet and grabbed a rag. I wetted down the rag with warm water. "Ok move your hand." Jake followed my instructions and I lightly place the rag on his nose. "I'm sorry. It's my fault I should have held on to you and now Ethan's mad at you." I apologize. I feel awful. Jake moved my hand away from his nose and looked me in the eye. His nose stopped had stopped bleeding and there was no blood. "It's not your fault and don't worry about Ethan he'll calm down." Jake said. I just nodded and looked down. No matter what he says it's still my fault. Jake placed a finger under my chin and lifted my head up so that I was looking him in the eye.

"You're beautiful." He said. I blushed. No one except my family has ever called me that. Jake started to lean in. I freak out a little on the inside because I've never had my first kiss. Heck I've never had a boyfriend or been on a date I guess that's what you get when you're a total outcast. Jake was inches away from my face. I don't know what to do. It's not necessarily that don't want to kiss him it's that I don't know if I'm ready. "Hey guys I'm really so- am I interrupting?" I step away from Jake and look at the door. It was Ethan. "No not at all." I say with a fake smile. "Ok well I'm just going to go then." Ethan said. He slowly started to walk backwards down the hall until he finally just turned around and disappeared around the corner. I turned back to Jake. "Happy birthday." He said. I laugh. I can't believe I forgot my own birthday. "Thank you." I say. I wash out the rag. "Does it hurt?" I ask as I lightly touch his nose. "Nah. Its fine." He say. "Good." I grab his hands and pull him off the counter. "Ok let's go." He says.

I struggle to walk down the hall way so Jake stops in front of me. "Give me your crutches." He says. "Jake I need them to walk." I say. He just holds out his hand. I huffed but gave them to him. He smiled and turned around. He bent down in front of me. "Jump." He instructed. I smiled and wrapped my arms round is neck then lightly jumped and wrapped my legs around his waits. Jake stood up and walked into the living room. Ethan got off the couch. "I'm so sorry." He said. "No worries." Jake said. Ethan looked at me. I got off Jake's back and opened my arms. "Get over here!" I say. Ethan smiled and hugged me. He picked me up and spun me around. I couldn't help but to laugh. Ethan sat back down on the couch with me on his lap. "We should watch a movie." Ethan says. "Maze runner!" I yell out. I am seriously obsessed with the books and the movie. "Or we can watch-" "the maze runner." I interrupt Grayson. I narrow my eyes at him. "Or-" I can't believe he's trying to suggest something other than maze runner. "Gray I will harm you." I threaten. Grayson held his hands up. "Ok Maze Runner it is." He said. "Yay!" I cheered. Jake put the movie in the DVD player and sat back down on the couch. I swear I've only known these boys for a few day but it feels like we've been best friends for forever. I was still in Ethan's lap. The movie started and I mouthed the words. "How many times have you seen this?" Ethan whispered. "Don't know I lost track." I say. Ethan just chuckled.

It was a little over half way through the movie and I felt my self start to dose off. I was still on Ethan's lap, which I don't know how he can handle my weight for this long, but any way I laid my head on his shoulder he then rested his head on top of mine. I wish someone would take a picture of us right now. Ethan had his arms around my waist and I had my arms wrapped around his neck, my butt was in his lap, and my head was laying on his shoulder with his head on top of mine. The whole situation would be better if we were dating though because then I would be able to lean down and kiss him. I felt my eye lids get heavier and heavier until finally they just closed and I fell asleep right in Ethan's lap.

I felt my body lift into the air. I grumble a little bit and I tighten my grip on what ever I was holding on to. I was so tiered and I don't know why because I slept in till like 3. Who ever is carrying me goes up stairs and to what I assume is my room. They lay me in bed. "Good night Madison." I hear them whisper before I feel a pair of lips on my forehead. I slightly open my eyes to see Ethan. "Good night." I say. He smiles down at me. "I'm sorry again for today." He says. "It's ok, you were just worried about me and I really appreciate that. I was kind of being a b word." I say. "No you weren't. I was being a jerk." He said. I got out of bed and hugged him. "I'm glad I met you and that you're my friend." I say. I wish we were more than friends but at least we have some sort of relationship. I stand on my tippy toes and kiss his cheek. "Night Eth." I say. Yes that's right I called him Eth. He smiled. "Night princess." I smiled. He kissed my cheek before walking out of my room. I crawled back into bed and fell back asleep with a smile on my face.
