TEENAGE DIRTBAG
chapter 22
( family )
the car ride was quick and silent. the tension had filled up the entire car making it hard to breathe — you could cut it with a knife. jasper was driving fast yet not carelessly.
every now and again ethan would send small glances to the cullen boy, his pale white hand gripping tightly around the steering wheel and somehow causing his knuckles to turn even more white.
ethan swallowed and looked away. he didn't know what to say. what could he say?
james had practically caught onto ethan immediately. one glance and one small inhale and it was out. not only that, it was something he had tried to hide from everyone his whole life, now each of the cullens was aware of that; but they didn't know what it was exactly which only made ethan even more anxious.
"where are we going?" ethan decided to cut the silence with his croaky and shaky voice. he didn't look over at jasper whose eyes were burning holes into the road ahead.
"far away from here. james is a tracker, which means he'll be looking for bella and you." jasper informed. his tone was unusually blunt which sent a shiver down ethans spine; he hated this version of jasper. the version which was caused by ethan and his ability to not tell the truth.
ethan furrowed his brows, now holding his gaze on jasper, "what do you mean 'away from here'? what about my family? i— i can't just leave them behind." his voice was full of unintentional attitude causing him to internally scold himself.
"you can't go home, he'll find you and your family and he won't show any mercy." the jaylin boy thought about his words; he knew he was right. he should stay away from his family until this whole mess was sorted out. but he couldn't.
ethan shook his head, swallowing a small lump which had formed in the back of his throat. "no." his sentence was short and snappy — he wasn't going to back down without a fight.
"that's my family. they took me in, and they deserve to know when i'm going to randomly disappear on them after everything they've done for me. so you're either going to drive me there, or you can stop the car and let me get out so i can walk there my fucking self." ethan scowled.
he knew some of his words probably didn't make much sense to jasper: 'they took me in'. ethan hadn't told jasper about the fact he was adopted much like he hadn't told him about any of his past from before he got adopted, but he didn't have much time to worry about that right now.
