We'll Find A Way

*5*

Why Him?

After working out for a couple hours and then playing in the game room for almost three hours after that, I end up taking Ethan to the nearby mall just to hang out. We walk around the large building just chatting and go into a few stores to browse. We end up going to gamestop and Ethan looks happily at the giant selection of games. {I realize that gamestop actually isn't in the mall in Durango but oh well. I'm going to put hot topic there too.} I smile and laugh seeing him so happy. He ends up grabbing several games and buying them at the front desk. I look around the small shop and my eyes settle on the game I've been wanting for ages. Borderlands Two. I played it at a friends house several years ago and ever since I've been addicted to it. It's not quite as fun when playing alone and I found at another friend's house, but just having the game will be awesome. I snatch the XBox 360 game off of the shelf and practically skip as I go to buy it. The cashier doesn't take long in wringing up the game and I end up walking away with it in hand instead of in a bag. As we walk out of the shop I look down at Ethan's bag and smile.

"Did you find enough games there?" I laugh.

"No, no I did not." He smiles and bumps into me on purpose.

"Hey! That's not nice!" I reach up and ruffle his still-damp blue hair.

"Well neither is that!" Ethan laughs and fixes his hair with his free hand. "So where to next?"

"Let's go to Hot Topic! Last I checked they were having a sale buy one get two free!" I jump up and down and grab his arm, begging him like a little kid. He laughs even more and we start walking.

"Okay okay! Calm down! We can go to Hot Topic." I smile brightly and quickly lead him to the store that I have memorized the location of.

"Heyy! (Y/N)! I didn't expect to see you here." An oddly attractive yet repulsive voice fills my ears. A sandy blond haired guy walks over to me right by the entrance to Hot Topic and wraps his arm around my shoulders. I attempt to pull away but he hugs me closer to him with added strength so I can't get away. "Who's your friend?" He looks over at Ethan with a look of disgust.

"My name's Ethan. I'm hanging out with (A/N) while I'm visiting people here." Ethan smiles, completely oblivious to what's happening and how uncomfortable I am. I again try to push away from the guy but he doesn't allow it.

"Well don't get too comfortable with her. She's a little heartbreaker and she's all mine." He grabs my arm and whispers in my ear. "Calm yourself! You aren't getting away that easily." He snaps and I flinch but stop trying to get free.

"Please just go away Kent, you aren't needed here." I glare up at him. "I'm trying to have a good time with Ethan and I didn't ask you to be a part of it." I snap, making sure that I sound harsh and Ethan looks at me worriedly.

"Yeah, actually, (Y/N) and I were just about to leave and I feel like it would be difficult for you to come with." Taking Dylan by surprise he comes closer to me and gently pulls me away from Dylan and into a hug. Dylan glares at both of us before backing away slightly.

"I guess you're right. I'll see you later (Y/N)" Dylan walks off and I visibly relax in Ethan's arms but I'm still freaking out inside..

Ethan hugs me tighter as I begin to cry into his shoulder. "Shh. It's okay (Y/N). He's gone now. It's okay." His voice is soothing as he tries to comfort me and I sniff and wipe the tears from my eyes.

"I-it's okay I just kind of broke down." I pull out of his hug and look down. "I'm sorry." He grabs my shoulders and makes me look up at him.

"Stop apologizing. You didn't do a thing wrong." He smiles warmly and guides me out of the mall and towards my car. "Now just sit in the car for a bit, listen to some music, and relax." I climb into the white vehicle and sit in the passenger seat. "I'm going to go grab a few things, you just sit here, pull out your music if you want, and try to calm down. It'll help, trust me."

"Kay... Thank you Ethan." I manage a small smile up at the YouTuber next to me and pull my phone out of my pocket so I can turn on some music.

"I'll be back soon." With that, he closes the door, blocking me in the small space, and makes his way back into the large building. I'm left to myself and the alternative music that's now blasting through my ears and filling the car with sound. I allow my mind to wander to what exactly got me to the point where I was able to meet my favorite YouTuber and end up actually hanging out with him. He's definitely not the same person that I fell in love with on my computer screen but that just shows that he's real and doesn't always act the same way he acts on camera. All that maters to me is that he's still the goofy, fun-loving blue boy that I found so many years ago on Mark's channel.

Turns out my thoughts distracted me for quite a while as I hear a sudden knocking on the window next to me. Glancing up I see that Ethan has returned and with a lot of different bags that he's struggling to hold. I laugh and unlock the car from the inside so he can put everything in the back seat. "You get enough stuff there blue boy?"

"Ha. Yeah... I may have gone a little crazy but that's okay!" He laughs and tries to set every bag down separately and in their own places but end up just throwing the several of them on top of others. "You feeling a little better?" Ethan glances over at me and waits for me to nod my head before going around to the driver's seat. "Good. Now let's get out of here."
