Ethan scanned the situation at the overly crowded frat party. He could see Mindy draping her arm around Anika as the two sat lovingly together. His eyes scanned some more until they fell upon Vince. He was spacing again. He looked as if he barely touched his drink. He knew that what he went through last year must've been why he's so spaced out. He sauntered over to Vince. "You good?" He awkwardly asked Vince pulling him out of his trance as Vince snapped his head up and nods. "Yeah.. just.. zoning."
The awkward moment disappears once Sam handled the situation and they all were out of the frat house.
Vince starts following Sam, much to his surprise, a girl throws soda at Sam and that spiraled into Sam losing it as Vince grabs Sam attempting to pull her away from the chick until a man smashes a bottle against Vince's face. "Murderer's side piece."
Vince lets go of Sam and decked the guy, punching him aggressively in the face, pummeling the drunken man to his feet as he smashed his fists into the guys face, unaware that Ethan Landry grabbed him by his waist and dragged him away.
"Get off me! Let me at him!" Vince screamed, thrashing against Ethan
"Calm down, calm down, man." Ethan struggled to hold Vince back by his waist. "He's not worth it, man. Just calm the hell down!" he said, trying desperately to hold Vince back and prevent him from doing anything stupid.
Vince continues his struggles, grunting and thrashing aggressively until he stops, panting heavily as he twists against Ethan. "Okay, I'm calm.. get off me."
Ethan's grip loosens on Vince slightly as he lets out a sigh of relief. "Thank god, okay, I'm gonna let go now. Just, please don't go over there and start beating someone's ass, okay? You could get into a shitload of trouble if you do."
Vince pulls away from Ethan, "How about if you ever fucking touch me again I'll fucking kill you." Vince spat angrily at Ethan, unaware that he was secretly Ghostface anyway.
Ethan's expression changes from concerned to slightly offended as Vince pulls away and snaps at him, causing him to take a step back a bit. "Jesus, calm down, man. I was just trying to help, okay?"
He furrows his brow and crosses his arms, looking a bit defensive. "I didn't mean to touch you. I really didn't. You looked like you were going to get yourself into trouble. I was trying to help save your ass."
"I didn't ask you to help me." He stated flatly. He glared at the boy, fists clenched until Sam placed a hand on his shoulder. "Just say thank you and be done with it Vince," Sam grumbled. Vince rolled his eyes at Sam, turning to Ethan. "Thanks." He says sarcastically.
A slight hint of annoyance appeared on Ethan's face as Vince continued to glare, looking like he was itching to punch him. Thankfully, Sam stepped in and placed a hand on his shoulder, which seemed to calm him down a bit.
Ethan's expression relaxes a little as Vince sarcastically said "thanks", replying with a slight nod. "You're welcome." He said simply, shifting his weight from one foot to the other awkwardly.
Sam gave Ethan an apologetic look before grabbing Vince's wrist and the trio walked on off.
Ethan gave their retreating forms a curt nod but underneath his sweet innocence was a twisted smile as he was eager to go on with the plan.
He pulls out his phone to text his dad.
I'm in.
