Lost In His Eyes - Jakob Delgado

Chapter 20 - Heard what?

CARA'S POV:

I could see Ethan getting further and further away from me as my breath became heavy and the air seemed too thick to consume as I slowed down. I stayed put as I tried to get my breathing back to normal but before I could even do so, I felt two arms make their way around me, their hands resting on my waist. 

"Thought you could get away did you?", he smirked as I continued to pant, as did he. I was so surprised at how fast he was as able to catch up to me as moments ago he was so far. 

"Maybe", I said as I  swallowed the hot water that was filling my mouth before moving my hand upon Ethans cheek. 

"You have ice cream all over your face, you silly boy." 

"Wonder who did that?", he laughed slightly as I licked my finger and wiped Ethans face. 

"Someone smart, thats who" 

He didn't seem to jump at my touch instead I felt goosebumps that were forming on his arm brushing against my side slightly making me smile.  

"Not too sure about that", he replied. 

I then hit Ethan's shoulder before turning my back as I  grabbed his arms, hoping he wouldn't remember why he was running after me in the first place. "Lets go!!"

Soon enough we made it to Ethan's once again, I don't know how we managed to find it from where we were but we did. I flopped back on his bed, letting my hair fall around me as I wasn't too fussed. Ethan then leaned his hands beside my head and leaned over me, "tired are we?"

"A little" 

"Up for a movie?", he trailed off. 

I then used my index finger to tap Ethan's nose, "when aren't I up for a movie?!", I replied as he then laughed at me and lightly rubbed his nose before helping me up. 

We then made our way into Ethan's lounge room, pulling out all the movies once we got there. There were so many to choose from making our decision very hard.

As I went to grab paranormal activity to put away, Ethan was reaching out to grab it himself causing our hands to slightly touch. His eyes then instantly met mine, causing his face to turn a light shade of pink. There was then not a sound to be heard as we sat there, our eyes fixed on each others. I then lightly chuckled breaking the awkward silence whilst moving my head down to the movies that lay before us. 

"This one has got to go", I said as I moved my hand and picked up the movie pushing it to the side of the room. 

"Hey, why can't we watch it?!", he snapped back with a sad look upon his face. 

"Etho No." I fought back, slightly laughing. 

"Fine you can have your way this time but next you know whats going on", he smirked as I followed his eyes back down to Paranormal Activity. 

After going through all the movies we finally decided on one. I then made my way over to the DVD player while Ethan went and got us blankets and snacks. 

He shortly came back with popcorn, maltesers and one giant blanket for us both to share, dropping everything on the couch, next to me. 

"Hungry?"

"Starved." I replied as he pushed the popcorn onto my lap. 

Ethan must of laughed and least 6 times every scene, causing me to crack up myself although I didn't get half the humour in it. 

During the movie there was also a bit of popcorn throwing as I attempted to throw the popcorn pieces into Ethan's mouth although failed miserably. This resulting in a pop corn covered couch and floor which I'm sure Ethan's mum and dad won't be too impressed with, especially because his house is always so pristine. 

After our popcorn throwing and tones of giggling, during the movie I could see Ethan's eyes fixed no longer on the tv but on me. I slowly turned my head, giving him time to move his head back to the tv but he didn't, instead he continued to stare and examine me. Our eyes then met once again this time Ethan's eyes bulging and his face slowly leaning closer to me. I could feel his breathes become harsher as his face getting closer to mine, his little dots under his chin so noticeable now and his light pink stained lips so close to mine, this boy really wasn't wasting any time. Before his lips could touch mine I lightly turned my head directing his kiss to my cheek. This was the second time Ethan had leaned in for a kiss and I had declined it. I couldn't even imagine the amount of nerve that would of taken and I was feeling so awful that I had rejected his kiss although I couldn't bring myself to do that to Jakob. 

Jakob. That name so foreign to me at this point in time although so full of meaning. I hadn't even thought about him all day, this being very rare for me. I then found myself wondering if he had been thinking about me or was the feeling mutual. 

I had to bring my attention back to Ethan as I could tell he tried to laugh it off but failed miserably.

"I'm sorry Ethan.", I let out, placing my hand on top of his as I could see thee hurt in his eyes. 

"No it's fine, I understand", he replied, his mood now dropped completely. 

"No Ethan, honestly its not like that. I'm just still a bit confused about everything right now. I really am sorry." 

"Dont apologise its fine.", he said sitting up and clutching my hand tighter. 

I then kissed his cheek in return although I left a trail of kisses down from his cheek, past his jawline and down to his neck before leaning my head against his chest, our hands still gripping onto each others to make him feel better. 

I sat with my eyes on the TV although my mind was somewhere else. As I brushed my feet over each other I couldn't help but replay the fight between Jakob and I over and over in my head. I suddenly felt the loss and sadness come flooding back. I could feel my muscles then tense up and my body lightly shiver although I don't think Ethan seemed to notice as his eyes stayed fixed on the screen and his body stayed completely still. It didn't help that things were now a bit awkward between us after what had just happened. This scenario then also relaying in my head as the images were still so vivid in my head, I couldn't help but stare at Ethan to see if I could make out what he was feeling right now.

I was then snapped out of my thoughts once again as Ethan's mums voice filled the room. 

"Ethan? Ethan?", she yelled through the house. 

"Here Mum. In the lounge", he replied, pausing the TV as he did so. 

She then entered and when seeing me her eyes shot open in a matter of seconds. 

"Cara what are you doing here?", She let out quite quickly with a confused look upon her face. 

"Uh, Uh, I stayed over last night", I mumbled. 

She then paused for a short while, sighing and taking a deep breath as she did so. "Cara haven't you heard?" 

"Heard what?", I spit out, very confused at this point. 

"Your mums in hospital."
