Oblivious

Chapter 20

I gasped and dove under the table. "Uh Madison, what are you going?" Ethan asked. "Noah just walked in." I said from under the table. "Who's Noah?" Jake asked. "This asshole that tried to do stuff with Madison without her permission." Grayson said. "I'm going to beat his ass." Jake said. "Already did." Ethan said. I poked his knee. "Thanks for that by the way." I say. "No problem." Ethan said. "Some one hand me my sandwich." I say. Jake handed me my sandwich and a ate it quietly. "Tell my when he's gone." I say. "Shit he's coming over here." Grayson said. I rolled my eyes. I watched as a pair of feet approached the table. "Where's your hot ass friend?" Noah's voice said. I saw Ethan's body shift. "What did you just say?" He asked angrily. I put my hand on his knee to tell him to calm down. "I said where is Madison? I want to finish what we started earlier." Noah said. Gosh he's such a perv. "You mean what you started?" Grayson asked. He was also angry. "I'm surprised you guys haven't hit that yet. I'm going to make her scream my name." Noah said. I wanted to throw up. "I suggest you leave before I beat your ass again." Ethan threatened. I put my sandwich in my mouth and leaned forward and untied Noah's shoes. "Tell me where she is. You and I both know she wants me." Noah said. I'm definitely going to throw up when he leaves. I tied Noah's shoe laces together. Ethan stands up. "Leave." He said in a threatening voice. "Whatever." Noah said he started to walk away but because I tied his shoe laces together he tripped and fell. I started to laugh and so did everyone else. "What the hell?" Noah yelled. My laughter got louder. I slid back into my chair. I was laughing so hard that I was crying. The boys all high fived me. Noah glared at me and took his shoes off and ran out the door. I finally got my laughter under control. "That was awesome." I say. "Yes it was." Jake said. We finished our sandwiches and left.

The boys and I walk into the twins house. We walk past the kitchen. "Hey Madison! Oh and Jake!" Their mother says. "Hi Mrs.Dolan. How are you?" I ask with a smile. Ethan and Grayson's parents love me. "Oh I'm fine. How are you sweetie?" She asked. "I'm great. Where is Mr.Dolan?" I ask. "I'm right here!" I hear from behind me. "Hi Mr.Dolan. How was work?" He huffed. "Boring as always." He said. "Are you going to spend the night?" Mrs.Dolan asks. "Um I could if it's ok with you." I say. "You're always welcome here sweetie. You guys go on up stairs. I'll cook dinner and bring it up to you in a few hours." She said. "Ok, thanks Mrs.Dolan. Bye Mr.Dolan." I say and with that we all went up stairs. "They love you." Ethan said. I did a hair flip. "I know." I say. We all went into Ethan's room. I flopped down on his bed, Jake sat on the floor, Grayson sat in a chair, and Ethan sat down next to me.

"Do you guys want to play would you rather?" Jake asked. Everyone nodded their heads. We were super bored. "Ok. Madison would you rather eat nothing but peas for the rest of your life or never have subway again?" Jake asked. He knows I hate peas with a passion. "You monster! But I'd have to go with never have subway again because I could just get my own ingredients and make a sub." I say. Loop holes! "Ok Ethan would you rather marry a potato or marry Allison?" I asked. "Definitely the potato." Ethan said. I laughed. He hates Allison now. We played a few rounds until Grayson gave me a would you rather. "Madison, would you rather kiss Ethan or kiss Jake?" He asked, wiggling his eyebrows. I glared at him. Of corse I choose Ethan. I "thought" for a little bit. "I guess Ethan because I'm closer to him. No offense Jake." I say. "None taken." Jake said. I smiled. I looked over at Ethan to see his cheeks slightly pink like I'm sure mine are. "Ok Jake, would you rather kiss me or the prettiest girl from your home town?" I asked. "You." He said I blushed. "Thanks man." I say. I look over and see Ethan he looked kind of angry but why? "You ok?" I whispered. He looked up at me and gave me a small smile before nodding. I smiled back causing his smile to widen. His smile would be the death of me.

We played a few more rounds before we decided to watch a movie. We picked the Exorcism Of Emily Rose. I love scary movies but this one always scared me. I've watched it at least 20 times but it's just so creepy. Maybe it's because I was 4 when my dad first showed it to me and it scarred me for life. Grayson and Jake were on the floor and Ethan and I were sitting next to each other on the bed. A scary part was coming up so I grabbed Ethan's hand and squeezed it. The scary part happened and I jumped. "You're never like this during scary movies." Ethan whispered. "It's just this one." I whispered back. The fact that it's based off a true story probably doesn't help. I kept ahold of Ethan's hand.

The movie ended and it was now dark. Ethan's mom had came up with pizza rolls half way through the movie. Jake and Grayson went to Grayson's room. "I'm going to go to the bathroom." Ethan said. I nodded my head. He left and I was left alone in the dark. I pulled my knees to my chest. That movie really scares me. I heard something from the corner of Ethan's room. "Fuck this shit." I say to my self. I jump up and run out the door only to run into Ethan. "What are you doing?" He whispered. "I uh. Nothing." I say as I turn back and walk into his room. "You got scared didn't you?" Ethan asked. I could see his smile even though it was dark. "Shut up." I say. I lay down on his bed and Ethan sits down on the floor. I scoot over and patted the bed.

Ethan's POV.
Madison patted my bed so I got up and laid down next to her. We faced each other and our faces were inches apart. I wish I had the courage to lean in a kiss her but I'm afraid because I know she doesn't like me but I'm in love with her and I would do anything to be able to call her mine. Madison snapped her fingers in front of my face. I snapped out of my thoughts. "What were you thinking about?" She asked. How beautiful you are. I wanted to say. "Your birthday." I lied. She got a confused look on her face. "Madison it's March 1st, your birthday is in two days. You're turning 16." I tell her. She always forgets her birthday. Last year I didn't find out when her birthday was till 5 days after it happened. I gave her a stuffed elephant and her favorite candy. I can't believe it's been a year since I met her. It feels like I've known her for a lot longer. "I always forget. It sucks that my birthday is on a Monday." She says. I smile. She apparently also doesn't pay attention to the schools announcements. "We start spring break that day silly. A whole two weeks of no school." I say. "Yay!" She cheered. She tried to pump her fist up in the air but she hit my wall. "Oww." She says rubbing her hand. I chuckle. She is so cute and quirky. "Don't laugh at me peasant!" She wined. I smiled. "If I kiss it would that make you feel better?" I ask. She nods her head and sticks her hand out for me to kiss. I grab it and kiss her knuckles. "Better?" I ask. "Better." She says. She smiled. Her smile is gorgeous and it always makes me smile. We just lay in my bed and talked for hours about nothing and anything. She was in the middle of talking about how she thinks scientists should make a genetically modified elephant that stays tiny forever and you could own them as pets like she's told me 500 times but I don't mind because I love the way her eyes light up when she talks about it. She loves elephants. She was in mid sentence about what she would name her elephant but she fell asleep. I smile to myself. I lean forward and kiss her forehead. I wrap my arms around her waist and lay my forehead on hers. "I love you princess." I whisper before I drifted to sleep next to the most beautiful girl in the world inside and out.
