1⚫️Joining the Family

Alice's POV

I put my final box in my room, well Mark's spare room. I walked outside of the room, feeling free from him. "Hey Alice, have you met Ethan yet?" Mark interrupted my thoughts. "Uhm no... But I watch his videos?" You say unsure. He chuckled a bit. "I meant in person, you realize he lives with us right? He is part of the family, like you now." He explained. "Oh, well no, I haven't." I answered, mentally face palming myself. Of course he meant that Alice!

He toke my hand and led me over to his room next to mine."Hey Ethan, time to meet Alice." Mark said softly knocking on the door. We heard him get off his chair, he was rushing to the door."OW FUCK! MY TOE AHHH SHIT!" He yelled out. I let out a little giggle and opened the door, helping him up. "Hi Alice, that was a bad first impression." He said holding his foot. "Stubbed your toe?" I asked my hands on his shoulder. He nodded, and winced putting his foot down. Mark was leaning on the door, watching.

I quickly toke my hands off his shoulder, as he was starring at them. "Alice." I said putting my hand out. "Ethan" he said, taking my hand. The tension rised, as I looked around his room; a poster written "You will never not matter" on it, which warmed my heart. "I best go unpack." I said uncomfortably walking out. Mark glancing at me with an amused look laced on his face.

I walked quickly into my room, noticing it was next to Ethan's. I layed on my bed, looking at the ceiling. I started unpacking when I came across my red flannel and my black bike shorts. I got changed, feeling more comfortable and finished unpacking in 2 hours. "Mark?" I called out. He came running up, he was the only one who knew my "secret" I lied about it. "Yeah? Is something wrong." He said putting his hands on my shoulders. "No, just I wanted a ladder." I smiled. "Oh. Sure. Lemme get it for you." He said and I saw Ethan peeking 'round his door.

I caught his eye and let me grin stretch more. His eyes widen and he peeked his head back.

Ethan's POV

Oh god, she caught me! I thought as I put my body against the door letting the door fall back. "WAH!" I let out a quick scream as I fell onto the wood. I clenched my eyes shut, and was about to open them expecting the beige ceiling. I opened my eyes, to see Alice's beautiful and greeting face. "Whoops." I said getting up. "You right, Ethan?" She asked, worry in her eyes. "Yup, just my back." I said rubbing my back. Mark came up with a little ladder that could extend. "Thanks Mark." She said, her voice gentle. She toke the ladder in her skinny arms, she was stronger than she looked. Her light blue eyes, filled with worry, scanned my body one last time. She smiled a little and walked off to her room.

She looked so cute in those flannels and bike shorts. Mark was looking at me when Amy came up behind her and whispered something in his ear making him smile and turn towards her. He nodded and walked back downstairs with Amy. I went back to room, and sat in my chair playing some random game on my computer. It was hard to concentrate on the game when my mind was stuck on Alice. I walked downstairs hearing Alice's soft groans with effort as she set up her room. "Fuck." I  heard her say and heard a clatter from her room. "Alice? You right in there?" I asked softly. "Yup." She said.

I walked in to see some pictures on the floor turned over, with a few big shards of glass spread on the wooden floor. "Oh shit," I said. "where they important photos?" I asked worriedly. "Nope, I was actually going to destroy them with fire." She shook her head and started picking up the glass putting it into a little box. I crouched down and helped her. I turned one over and saw a picture of a guy holding her hand smiling. She quickly snatched off me and stuffed into another box labelled "SHIT" I felt a bit of jealously bubble into my stomach.Ethan get a grip, she is just a girl, anyway she probably isn't in to you!

I found myself staring at her body. I shyly swept fingers through my hair and stood up. "Wanna help burn them?" She asked, I could see her holding back tears. I nodded and followed her outside. "Maark! Stop it!" I heard Amy giggle in the pool and saw Mark lifting Amy up on her shoulders. Alice looked towards them, and had a longing expression on her face. I pulled out a lighter out of my pocket, and watched her bring them out.

~Time Skip~

"Is that a fire?" Mark said with Amy following him towards us. "Yeah, Alice burning some pictures." I explained Mark looked down at Alice, he had a understanding expression. I looked up the sky, the light blue cloudless sky reminding of Alice. I got up and walked inside, Amy following. "Ethan's got a cruuush." She mocked me. I shrugged her off my shoulders. "I don't." I said, looking down at my socks and went upstairs. "Ethan, I understand... Just tell her. Otherwise she'll find someone else." Amy said following me up the stairs. 

"I don't even know her, and she doesn't know me." I argued. "True, nevermind I'm not good at advice." She sighed, watching me as I closed the door.
