Stuck In The Middle Of Romance (On Hold)

Chapter 22

I hear someone knock on the door after a couple of hours of talking to Cade. I open it and Ethan smiles a little. Something looked wrong and I was about to ask when Cade came behind me.
"Ethan this is my cousin, Cade. Cade this is Ethan my boyfriend." I say smiling.
"Hey." Ethan said. He smiled but it looked forced.
"Hey." Cade said. His phone buzzed and he looked at it. "I have to go but I'll see you later." He waved and huge me quickly before leaving. I smile and Ethan comes in as he walks out. I shut the door behind him and look at Ethan.
"What's wrong?" I ask.
"What do you mean?" He asked trying to play it off. I crossed my arms and looked at him frowning. "I... I need to talk to you."
"Ok. About what?" I got a little worried.
"Nothing bad. Promise. Just something  Sam said I should talk to you about." He said when he saw my face. I nod and we go to my room and sit on the bed.
"So what's up?" I ask still worried by his expression.
"At school, uh-" He looks nervous.
"Tell me, how bad it is." I say.
"Not bad."
"So just say it. I'm listening." He sighs.
---Flashback 3rd person POV---
Ethan was talking to Sam and Zach at Hope and Sams lockers after school getting Hopes homework. Then Tyler comes up to them.
"Hey Sam." He said ignoring the boys.
"What do you want?" She asked him.
"I want to know where the cute freind of yours is. What's her name again?"
"Hope."
"Right. Anyways, when you see her, tell her I dumped my girlfriend and am available if she wants me."
"She has a boyfreind and she's not a fan of guys that only pay attention to looks."
"I don't only pay attention to looks. And she can break up with her boyfriend, who is this guy anyway?" Tyler asked shrugging.
"Ethan." Sam said pointing at him.
"Oh. Sorry dude. Forget I said anything ok?" He asked.
"Why are you sorry? I thought you were serious?" Zach asked.
"Because he has three very hot sisters." Tyler answered.
"They would never like you." Ethan said.
"Just leave." Sam said to Tyler.
"Fine."
---End Of Flashback---
"Then he left." Ethan finished explaining. I nod and frown.
"How do you feel?" He asked me.
"I think that you have explained. Now you can tell me what you need to." I say. If Sam set him up to this there were two words I wanted him to say.
"You know what Sam said to say." He looked down at the bed.
"Obviously. I helped make those." I say smiling.
"I don't think I can say it."
"Two words Ethan. Two words."
"I'm-" He paused and hesitated for a few moments. He looked at me and I smiled a little as I give a small nod. "I'm jealous." He whispered.
"Usually not whispered but ok. Now, what do you want to do to fix that? This time, don't follow what Sam said." I say. He looked down again and I move forward so our knees were touching. "Ethan. It's up to you. I have my boundaries but that's not past them. If your not comfortable doing that, then don't. I need to know what will help you get over this though."
He looked at me and nodded.
"I'm comfortable doing it. I just didn't know if you were." He says looking a little happy.
"As I said, I came up with most of those rules. There very helpful." I say. He smiles and leans closer to where our lips are almost touching.
"I love you." He whispered.
