Toxic. (Ethan Dolan.)

Part 23 - Broken Home

I was at school grabbing books out of my locker. And I hear loud laughing down the hall. It was Ethan and Grayson and the rest of the animals. I saw Megan walk pass Ethan, Grayson slapped Ethan's shoulder and pointed to her. Ethan rolled his eyes and shook his head. His attention was drawn to me and he smiled. I smile back and continue grabbing things out. The bell went and I went to class. It was English. Today would be weird, because I was thinking since Ethan wasn't with Megan anymore, would he still sit next to her? Right then Ethan walked in. He didn't take one look at Megan and walked to the back where I was sitting. He looked at the kid who sat next to me.

"Move." Ethan demanded.

The guy grabbed his bag and moved quickly to Ethan's seat. The kid sat next to Megan and she looked back at Ethan with a frown. Then she looked at me. She stared at me for a while and I look out the window.

"What's up Seppo?"

"Ethan, you can't just do that." I laugh.

"It's my seat now." He stated with a smirk

I roll my eyes playfully and I look out the window. Mr Smith started the lesson. It was an awkward hour of class. Ethan wasn't saying a thing. And when the bell went I was packing up my bag. Ethan got up and sat on his table waiting for me.

"You don't need to wait." I chuckle.

"Just hurry up."

I nod picking up the last few things.

"I see you two are getting a long nicely." Mr Smith smiled at the front of the class.

"Sure are Dennis." Ethan snarled.

Mr Smith rolled his eyes. Him and I left and he was walking with me down the hall with his hands in his pockets.

"So are we going to hang out tonight?"

I nod. "Yeah, if you want. My mom is having a few friends around though."

"There's a party tonight." He started. "We should go."

"I can't." I say. "If Grayson sees you with me he'll beat the living shit out of me."

Ethan stopped in his tracks. "I wouldn't let anyone do that to you."

"If you want to go, you can go." I smile. "Just because I'm not going doesn't mean that you can't."

Ethan nodded. "Yeah, alright. Ill go."

It was the end of the day and I was walking home. When I got there I made myself a snack and went up to my room. I spent two hours watching Drake and Josh. It was quite boring. And quite weird with Ethan not being here. If he was here he would groan about being bored and hungry. Then I would have to go make him something to eat. Then when I would come back he would either be asleep or on my computer watching a different movie. And I loved it. I loved how difficult he was and I don't know why.

"You wanna come downstairs for a movie?" My dad asked at my door.

"I'm okay here." I smile.

My dad came into my room and took a seat at the end of my bed. "No Ethan tonight?"

I shook my head closing my laptop. "Sadly not."

"What's he doing?"

"He's at a party tonight. I didn't wanna keep him as a prisoner here." I exclaiming causing my dad to chuckle.

"He's a good kid."

"He wasn't always a good kid."

My dad had a questionable look. "What was he like?"
