I Think I'm Falling....An Ethan Dolan Fanfic

Part 4

We walked off of the football field as the moon lit the sky. It was the perfect night for a romantic walk or in my case: a walk for two getting-to-know-you friends. We were walking along the track after getting down from the bleachers. We had a points in our conversation where it was lighthearted, but I couldn't help but wonder why the boy with everything, wanted to come back to school.

"Why did you decide to start school again and especially here?" I suddenly blurt out. I was curious. As a fan of the boys, I knew they had some trouble in school and wanted out so online school it was. If only it were that easy for me.

I realized though, that I had hit a nerve and immediately stumbled over my words, trying to take them back, "oh my gosh! I didn't mean to say that I mean like it was a question but you don't have to answer!" I say quickly.

"Damn, you got a lot of energy for a cute girl," he said cocking his eyebrow. He called me cute! HE CALLED ME CUTE!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

He continued,"A lot of people have been asking me and quite frankly it's simple, I wanna be able to experience at least one year of normality, you know? I finished up tour, I got 2 TCAs, I have apparently everything. Everything except friends. Getting all that stuff might sound great but it's like when you're always in the limelight, you can't help but wonder, damn wish I was on the other side. Sorry, I put that all out on you. You probably don't want to hang around with this boatload of crazy" He finishes his rant and takes a deep breath.

I never thought of Ethan as one to be upset. He always seemed so happy. So cheery and goofy in his videos. Maybe it was a fake smile plastered on his face. Maybe he laughed only to mask his pain. Ethan is only human. He does have troubles, like everyone else, especially me. I felt sorry for him; I would be doing exactly what he was if I was in his position too. I run my hand over Ethan's arm, trying to soothe him,"Hey, it's ok to let out your feelings. Everyone has feelings bottled up and my mom always said that those who choose to let them out are the bravest. I think your brave for telling me this. I think your so very brave." I was about to let go of his arm until he pulls me into a bear hug. He bends down, him being taller and wraps his toned arms around my shoulders and I wrap my tiny arms around his torso. I breathe in the scent of him as he and I stand there, in the middle of the pathway, in the darkness, just the two of us. For a minute, for a second, the world came to a complete stop.
If only it was like this forever...
**********************************
I drove Ethan home, listening to the radio, and bopping my head to the music. Ethan continued to look at me and I didn't know why. At some point, he reached over to tuck some loose hair behind my ear. His touch made my whole body light up on fire. I looked at his face; he was blushing at his actions. "Thank you," I murmured quietly. I continued to drive, looking back at the never ending road, and tried to ignore my feelings. I didn't want him to get bullied again; this time, it would be because of me.

I wanted to tell him that I liked him. I liked him a lot. If I did that, he would probably think that I'm like a complete weirdo fan. A stalker type. No no no. No boys, Brooke. Boys cause trouble.

"I had fun today Brooklyn. Probably the most fun in ages," he said, genuinely smiling, staring at me again. I tried to hide my face, he made me blush a light shade of pink.

I had to admit today was a lot of fun. There wasn't a dull moment when I was with Ethan and I never felt like I was the weird girl who no one wanted to be friends with.

"I had fun too Ethan, probably the most in this entire year," I smiled at him. I reached the house with the address Ethan gave me and stopped the car, turning off the engine. I look at his new white stone house. It looked so nice, so safe, so welcoming. As my eyes wandered the exterior of the house, Ethan said,"Hey, wanna come in? Grayson and Cam really wanted me to make friends. They would get off of my back if I actually showed them my new friend." Yes go in! This is his house! He really wants you to!

Practicality took over and realized that I couldn't, not yet at least. It was getting dark and my mom would kill me if I wasn't home. I still had homework to do. Solemnly, I replied, "Sorry E, maybe another time? My mom will actually murder me if I'm not home in like 10 minutes. It's not like I don't want to come in it's just like I can't because of my mom," I rambled. Seriously, you gotta stop rambling!

"It's ok! You can come over tomorrow? Maybe we can like work on class work and homework? And you can meet Cam and Gray? What do you say? It can be like our second 'date'" he said hopeful while he was chuckling at his little joke.

I don't know why, maybe because I really wanted to make him happy. Maybe I wanted to show him that I'm a good friend, proving everybody else wrong, because the next words out of my mouth even surprised me.

"Yeah, sure. You can count on me being there," I said as I opened the door for Ethan to get down. He waved goodbye as he closed the door to his house and I started up my car again.

As the house got tinier and I drove into the night, I couldn't help myself as I stopped to think, why did I do that?

A/N: more feels!!! I can't even with them! Even though I'm writing the story I already want them to like be together! Idk if it's just me or not but this is like a filler chapter because the juicy stuff is coming next!!
