Liam's POV

"Liam?"

"Yes, Ethan."

"What are we going to do today?"

That was a very interesting question. In this point in my life, I literally have nothing to do. More of just waiting for my nephew to come. Ariana and I have been doing some behind the scenes kind of things. But over all, just trying to help out my family.

"Maybe we can hang out today!"

"YAAAY!" Ethan ran to my leg.

This boy sends me wonders. I'm pretty excited for my nephew to come. And I can already tell him and Ethan are going to be the best of friends. Since Jamie was working today, she told me to babysit. Ethan and I sat on the couch and watched 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'.That is our favorite film, Ethan and I. He said we should dress up as Ron and Harry for Halloween. That should be exciting. I felt a buzz in pocket, and realized Selena was texting me.

S: Don't forget to pick me up babe:)

L: I'm a responsible boyfriend who picks up his girlfriends

S: Love you most<3

L: Love you MOSTEST xxx

S: of course you would say that

L: ;)

Selena didn't text back, she was probably already at work. I decided to watch a few 'Harry Potter' films with Ethan. I grabbed the first movie and propped it into the DVD player. Ethan and I were scrunched onto the couch with only a blanket. I was cold. It's weird here. When spring hits, it's feels as if winter is still here. I mean it's 27 degrees outside. And it is still snowing. Spring my ass.

Ethan and I have just finished watching 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'. It's about a quarter after 11. I should probably go and pick her up. I wrapped Ethan in a warm coat, and brought along his blanket and teddy bear. I also properly clothed myself as well, with a pea coat and a scarf.

I walked into the hazardous weather and turned the heat in the car on. I waited about 10 minutes for the car to get situated. I picked a sleeping Ethan in my arms and brought him to the back seat. I laid him down, as he began to wiggle and shake. I thought he was going to cry, but that ended brilliantly. I made it to the driver's door, and opened it. I sat in the car for a moment, while trying to get the address of Selena's work into my head.

556 Godrick Hallow?

Bloody hell. That's an address from 'Harry Potter'. I mentally slapped myself.

556 Grayson Avenue.

I put the car in reverse, as I made my way out of the driveway. I put the car in drive an began to go left. I stopped at a stoplight. I waited about 2 minutes. I turned the radio on and 'Say Something' by Christian Aguilera came on. My eyes began to water, as the sight of Danielle popped into my brain. I shook it off, as I pulled up to Selena's parking lot. She was waiting inside, as she saw me. She came waddling out of the building and into the car.

"Thanks Liam." She kissed my cheek.

"No problem love." I blushed.

"Just drop you off at Harry's or..."

"My house."

"Okay."

I drove to Selena's house. I could drive there with my eyes closed, because I go there almost every week. For Ethan. No. Mostly just me. As I pulled up to her driveway, she pulled my cheek into her direction. She looked into my brown eyes.

"I love you." She said.

"I love you more." She began to giggle.

"I love you most." She beat me to it.

"We're really starting to be like Harry and Ariana." She giggled even more.

"I love it." I said.

"Bye." I kissed her.

I waited as Selena walked into her house. I reversed out from the driveway and began to drive home. When I arrived, I turned the car off and carried Ethan inside. I set him down. I looked around to see that I forgot my phone in the car. I ran back outside and grabbed it from the passenger's seat of the car.

I walked back to the from door and opened the door. I heard a click behind me and turned around. I turned around to see a person in black. He was wearing a black mask, so I couldn't see his face. He was holding a gun. I held my hands up in mercy.

"Please, I have money."

"I don't want money." The man's voice sounded familiar.

"What do you want?" The man pulled the mask off.

"Justin?"

"Liam." He walked closer.

"I want Ariana."

"Justin, just put the gun down. And we can go inside and talk about this."

"No! No! If I don't get her, he's gonna kill me."

"Justin, please." I begged.

"No." He began to sob.

"I've been through enough. Ariana is all he wants. She's the key to our problems."

"Just put the gun down."

"NO!"

The trigger went off. I automatically shut my eyes. I squeezed them shut, as I felt my tears form in the corner of my eyes. I heard Justin's feet scurry off. I opened my eyes and felt my body. The bullet didn't hit me.

"Wiam?"

I turned around to see Ethan standing there. One hand holding his teddy bear, and the other holding a red spot on his stomach. The bullet hit him. I ran to Ethan, as he fell in my arms. I ran my hands through his hair, as the blood was gushing out of him.

"Wiam, it hurts."

"B-Buddy. You'll be alright. I promise you. You will be alright."

It was too late. Ethan's last tear fell into my hand. His chest stopped moving. His eyes were just staring, as I saw his pupils begin to grow.

"No. N-No. No! Ethan." I hugged him close.

"ETHAN! Ethan." I began to rock back and forth in his arms.

"Ethan. Ethan."

I cried. I laid Ethan back in my arms and observed him. I looked at the clock. 12:03. I looked back at Ethan. My fingers found their way to his eyelids. They closed them. He's just sleeping. Sleeping forever. I shook my head and held him closer. My little brother. My little boy. My little boy.

"H-Hap-py B-Birthd-day E-Ethan."
