"Ethan..." I struggled to get the words out. "Can I talk to you?"
I glanced towards Nessa, apologetically.
"Alone?" I shifted my focus back to Eth.
"I'll give you guys some privacy." Nessa smiled as she got up and walked out of the room.
As soon as she shut the door behind her, Eth gently grabbed my hand, and warmed it up between his.
"You'll be okay." He reassures me, along with a grin.
There's a long, yet not awkward silence between us then. I looked towards him as he opened his mouth to speak.
"What did you want to talk to me about?"
"Um..." this was it. "Something happened... between Cam and I- Nothing bad! I promise, but nothing good either."
"Okay..."
"Right before I blacked out, I slipped and almost fell, but he caught me. We almost..."
He looked as if he didn't want to hear the rest.
"But we didn't. Because neither one of us could do that to you. You mean the world to me, Eth. I would never do anything to hurt you. And seeing everyone else here but him has confirmed that you're the only one who's right for me." His hurt expression slowly fades and turns into a slight smile.
"I feel the same." He said as he leaned down to kiss my hand.
"I don't know what I'm still doing here. I'm fine... well now I am." I have never felt more with someone than I feel right now with him. I don't want anything to change. Gray is with Nessa, Eth is with me, and we all love eachother. Everything is perfect. Feelings are weird, huh?
"I'm glad you're okay. As soon as we heard a thump in the kitchen we rushed in to see what had happened, and I think I felt a bit of my heart break when we found you lying on the floor. But now you're okay. I couldn't be happier. I thought something serious had happened... you cut yourself on broken glass which you must've knocked down when you were falling."
It was only then I realised that my left hand had a bandage on it. It was only then I felt the pain. I winced, but Eth put his hand on my shoulder and calmed me down. What would I do without him?
"Guys?" We heard Gray's voice through the tiny gap in the door.
"Come in!" I tell him, not letting go of Eth.
He comes in and laughs happily, making us do the same.
"I'm so glad you're okay, Roni." He smiles at me.
"Thank you... so am I"
"Nessa told me to tell you that the doctor said you're free to go. It was nothing serious. You just need to come in next Tuesday for a checkup on the hand."
"Okay, thanks!" I say, getting up from the bed. Surprisingly, nothing hurt.

That evening, Collins and Devon joined the four of us for dinner. We went out for Chinese!
After catching up a bit, Collins suggested we play a game of charades, so we went back to the apartment and picked teams. It was Nessa, Gray and Collins against Ethan, Devan and I (Nessa, Gray and Devan on the same team? No, thanks.). We played for at least an hour, and by the end of it I'm surprised we hadn't created a pool of tears from laughing too much!
Unfortunately, it reached around 11 and they had to leave. We said our goodbyes and planned when next to meet up. But they were acting strange by the end of it... I'm not sure why.
Anyway, since none of us were tired, we decided to watch a movie. Pirates of the Caribbean! My favourite movie series. As usual, Eth sat next to me so he could fall asleep on me, but this time it was different. His arm was around me and before we started the movie, he kissed my forehead.
My favourite line in the series is "Why is the rum gone?" Jack Sp- I'm sorry, Captain Jack Sparrow is my all time favourite character. Johny Depp is my favourite actor. Loads of favourites.
After the first movie, we still weren't tired and so we got some snacks and started the next one. Now, this... is the life.
I'm glad Nessa and I moved in with these two weirdos. Just as I begin to fall asleep, I see something. On the screen. In the movie... (#nospoilers)
"YES! I knew it would happen!" I blurt out, uncontrollably... whoops?
Eth laughs and pulls me closer to him. I can tell he's getting tired as he gets comfortable (not like that ya nasty) and wraps his arms around me. Everything was normal and then I heard something escape his mouth. Something so quiet it was like I could hear his thoughts... "I love you."
A/N I'M SAWWY, DON'T KILL ME, PWEASE!!
I'M BACK, BABY! Aww how cute are Ethanica? Changing minds about ships? Let me know what you think!! Xx
