Secrets // Ethan Dolan

15. Should I?

Chapter 15, Should I?

I had been watching his text over and over and over again, even when the words didn't make sense anymore and my sight got blurry from staring at it. Ethan had sent me a text earlier today around 10 a.m., it was now 4 p.m. and he still didn't receive one from me. The thoughts about him asking my number flashed through my head:

It was late at night and I had yet again another nightmare. Ofcourse I was jogging but after a few miles, I had the strange feeling that someone was following me. Or at least watching me. It didn't feel nice. I began to run faster and faster and suddenly, I heard someone closing in on me. Me being as handy as I am, turned around and stuck out my foot, making the stranger trip and fall to the ground.
"Ethan? What the fuck are you doing? Why were you following me?"
He sounded like he was in pain: "Ehh, I wasn't following you. I happened to be jogging at the same time at the same place as you going in to the same exact direction." A smirk spread across his face.
I helped him up. "Are you okay? You fell pretty hard."
"Yeah I'm fine, thanks."
We continued walking, not running 'cause he had hurt his knee, to our houses.
"Could I maybe like get your number or something?" He asked in one of his most innocent voices ever.
"Or something? So you'd be happy with an e-mail adress too?" He had looked so dumbfoulded. "I'm kidding! Sure you can have my number. Just don't like stalk me or anything."

I stared at his text one more time before deciding that I probably shouldn't answer. He was no good to me anyways, always making me feel like trash.

E: Hey Katie, I was thinking that you and me could go to the movies sometime? I heard the new Deadpool movie is pretty cool. X Ethan
I don't understand what he is trying to do. I thought he didn't want anything to do with me so why is he texting me now asking to hang out? Ethan was so confusing. First he shows up at my house in the middle of the fucking night, then he says we're no friends but a little later, he's back again asking my number and now he wants to hang out, again!
I wanted to understand him, understand what he is trying to accomplish and figure out how that little brain of him works. If I only knew how...

My phone buzzed once more. Graysons name showed up on my screen and I fastely replied to his text. I even let a little giggle out without knowing. What is happening?

*~*~*~*~*~

Graysons p.o.v.

My phone buzzed and I quickly read Katie's text. It was nice to have someone like her. She really made me feel happy and appreciated. Whenever we hung out, she put a smile on my face. Just reading her text made me smile and actually seeing her made me burn up on the inside. I think I'm falling for her.

"Who are you texting?" Ethan startled me and I dropped my phone in my lap.
Holding back my curse words, I said: "no one special." Knowing that it would make him curious. Maybe I can make him jealous. "Actually, I'm texting Katie. She's pretty special."
"You're texting Katie?" His voice sounded hurt and a little surprised.
"Yeah, why are you so shocked?"
"'Cause I texted her this morning and she still hasn't respond." His shoulders hung low, like he could fall to the ground at any time.
"Why does that bother you? I thought that you didn't like her."
"I don't. Now give me your phone." Ethan jumped towards me, his big arms wrapped around me, making it impossible for me to go anywhere.
"Why do you need my fucking phone?" I shouted at him as I tried to get loose.
"To text her saying that she needs to text me back!" He had my phone in his hands now.
"No, you idiot. If she doesn't text you back, it means that she doesn't want to talk to you. This means that she doesn't like you." I was harsh and I was pretty sure that I hurt his feelings but he just stood up and walked to his room. Will I ever understand him?
