"wait you're the new girl?"
"did you hear about ethan dolan, yet?"
"didn't his brother die last year?"
"i heard he killed his own twin"
"isn't he crazy?"
"he's psychotic, don't go near him. he might just kill you too"
all these things that people continue to say about him, float around in my head. i push them to the side and ring the doorbell
the door opens and a women smiles "you must be y/n. i'm mrs. dolan. come in. come in"
i smile and walk inside. i look at the huge house in awe "your home is very beautiful"
"why thank you dear. let me show you to ethan's room" she says leading me up the long staircase
she then stops at the top of the staircase and knocks on the door "ethan, y/n is here"
ethan opens the door as mrs. dolan smiles "i'll be downstairs if you two need anything"
i smile "thank you mrs. dolan"
she nods and walks back down the stairs
i look back to ethan's room and see him sitting on his bed
he looks at me "are you going to come in or are you too scared?"
i smile and walk in "not scared, just being polite. you never invited me in after all"
i see the corner of his mouth twitch upward for a second, but then it falls back into his normal expression
"let's get this project done so that you can get home and feel safe again" he mumbles
i was about to say something but he interrupts me "also when my mom comes in, act like you're having fun. i don't get company often"
"oh..um right" it's quiet for a moment "can i ask something real quick?"
"i suppose"
"how old was your brother?"
"the same age as me. we were twins" he says staring at the floor
"i don't mean to be intrusive, but can i see a picture of him?"
he's silent
"sorry, that was rude. forget i said that"
"no you're fine" he says grabbing his laptop and opening it
he pulls up a video titled 'reading our old tweets' and presses play
i watch intently and see that grayson looks exactly like ethan. i smile when they laugh and giggle at some of their tweets. they look happy. he looks happy.
when the video ends, ethan closes his laptop and puts it back where he got it.
as soon as he sits back on the bed, i wrap my arms around him. it startles him at first, but he eventually wraps his arms around me as well.
