Toxic. (Ethan Dolan.)

Part 33 - The Sparkling Lights and Candles

While I was walking home I was wondering why I hadn't seen Ethan around at school after he got mad. He snapped really weirdly before. Well, actually, he always snapped. I swear that boy was bipolar. Every little thing I had said either caused him to be really fucking happy, or really fucking mad. No in between. I felt like those were maybe the only emotions he had. When I got home I saw my dad in the kitchen and I frown in confusion.

"Hello Darling." My dad smiled making dinner.

"What are you doing home so early?" I ask with a laugh as I put my bag down.

"Got a call today, had to come home and sort something's out." He smiled. "Also, you might want to go upstairs."

I frown a little before I run toward the stairs and I hear this song. The song Ethan told me to listen to when we were only just getting along. I heard the lyrics from down the hall; "another day, painted walls and football on the tv, no one sees me." As I get closer I see all the lights dimmed in my room. When I get to the door I see Ethan sitting on my bed. My room was dark and he had put lights all around my room with lit candles.

"What are you doing here?"

"Yeah, I know. This shit is cringe. It took me a lot to get this side out of me, so make sure you savour this moment because I won't be this cringe ever again."

I didn't say a word as I was taking in the room.

"Listen Seppo." He said standing up. "I'm a dick head. And I know that. I'm an asshole. I'm a cunt to teachers and to others."

"You sure are." I say crossing my arms.

"But that's just who I am." He said. "A big, fat asshole."

I didn't say a word as Ethan sighed

"You make me happy." He says. "You make me really happy Seppo. But I have two questions to ask you."

I wait for him to carry on and he runs his fingers through his hair.

"Can you put up with my attitude?"

"I have been for months."

Ethan laughed and looked at the ground running his fingers through his hair again.

"What's the other question?" I ask staring at him intently.

Ethan grabbed my hands and smiled at me.

"This is so cringe." He groaned.

I roll my eyes. "Go on."

"Well..." he trailed. "Will you be my stupid girlfriend?" He muttered not looking me in the eye.

I laugh, removing my hands from his. "How nice of you, Ethan. You really want this? Because it sure as hell sounds like you don't."

"Seppo, I wouldn't call your dad asking to come home and open up the house so I could set all these bullshit candles and lights if I didn't want this."

"You are such an asshole." I say shaking my head.

"So..." he says. "Is that a yes?"

I roll my eyes and smile at him. Not being able to say no.

"Of course, Ethan." I chuckle.

He let out a laugh before bringing me into his arms and spinning me around. He kissed me repeatedly as I laugh him.

"You sure?"

"Dead sure." I say kissing his lips and not letting go.
