Kick Start of Apprehension

Happy Tuesday!~

Look how happy the boys are in their new video; I'm so excited for their double updates!! I just hope they don't overwhelm themselves, because it has to be pretty stressful to come up with an entertaining idea, edit it, upload it, and hope that their fans like it...

Breakfast was just as awkward for Ethan as he had imagined it was. His friends had asked multiple questions about his whereabouts and even made teasing comments, but Ethan had to take that in stride, fake a story, and transition one conversation to something irrelevant to change the topic.

"So, you literally just stayed at Grayson's house the whole weekend and Monday?" Jack was in disbelief. He had already teased Ethan about the hickies that were splotched across Ethan's neck and only gave it up when Ethan looked less than a second away from splashing his scalding coffee on him.

Aaron was shocked also, he didn't quite believe Ethan's whole story, as his friend was rather picky about who he stayed with, and from their earlier conversations about his friend's paranoia about Grayson and his mysterious friends, Aaron knew there had to be something else. He studied Ethan and saw his friend tense somewhat, "Is there something else that you're keeping from us?" Aaron tried not to sound bitter about it, but he was in Ethan's life first.

"What makes you think that?" Ethan murmured, keeping his shy gaze on his coffee cup.

"Because you raved nonstop to us about Grayson and how we should stay away from him and his friends, but now you're best friends with benefits with him?" Aaron glowered slightly and he saw that Ethan looked ashamed. "What happened over the weekend, Ethan?"

Jack sunk a little in his chair; he didn't like to be the middle ground friend when Aaron and Ethan got into a bickering matches.

Ethan let out a silent sigh and he rested his elbows on the table, pushing himself up slightly, "Grayson stopped me from getting hurt when we went to that club," he started off; it wasn't technically a lie, as his life had been in danger. "Someone had roofied me and he got me away from that person, I got sick, so he kept me over at his house and took care of me. I guess I judged too fast, based on what I saw, not what I felt from them," he fibbed towards the end; he could feel their emotions, but whatever they also felt, it hadn't been human, but he wasn't going to say that to them.

"So, you just saw the stereotypical "Hot and Dangerous" look on them, and thought it was just better to keep away from them?" Jack concluded.

"Yes," Ethan sighed, hating that he was doing this. "Alex and Nate aren't bad either...they're just a little closed off, as Grayson is. Some stuff went down from their old university, terrible rumors had been spread about them and they were just harassed the whole time, so they transferred. Nate has slowly opened back up and being social again, Alex just follows his lead, and Grayson, well, when you get by the intimidating glares and brash conversation, he's not that bad."

Jack looked sad to hear that, "It's like high school never ends."

Ethan wondered if there had been any teenager vampires at the high school he had graduated from, he'd have to remember to ask Grayson, not that it was really important, he was just curious to know.

"So is Grayson like your boyfriend for show or did something really happen between you two?" Aaron was still clawing after details of the weekend. "Do you remember who even did that to you?" he was upset again.

"We haven't really decided, if he calls himself my boyfriend, fine, if he doesn't, fine," Ethan shrugged. "No, it had been sort of dark, so I couldn't really see their face."
