"The Beast Within" (g.d)

44.

I made my way quietly through the tunnles back to my bunk, I was exhausted from being at the water fall with Grayson most of the night.

I enjoyed just talking and getting to know him better, I felt so close to him, and even more in love with him as I did before.

It was so quiet and all I could hear is my own self breathing with occasionally snaps and creaks under my feet as I walked. It was pretty creepy here at night, it felt like I was in some horror movie except i was the monster.

I heard a quick snap behind me before my mouth was covered by a large hand but that familiar voice filled my ears making me not worry.

"Sh it's me"

My head snatched around connecting eyes with Ethan as he leaned against the wall with a smirk on his face.

"Are you freaking kidding me, you can't just creep up and attack me like that, especially at night Ethan" I spit making him roll his eyes at my attempt of being serious.

"Well does you right for being out all night with your babyyyyy" he teased dragging out the y in baby to annoy me.

Iv been getting super close to Ethan since our little mission together, I see a side of him that not many people see, but in a friend way.

"Shut up, what do you want"

I felt his tight grip wrap around my wrist as he pulled me through the tunnels, I couldn't see much it was way to dark plus he was pulling me way to fast making everything a blur.

Before I realized my mouth went wide as we stood on the edge of a Cliff over looking the mountains. (Pic⬆).

The stars and moonlight lit of the sky, clouds covered the tops of the mountains making it look like you could just reach out and touch them, it was so breath taking and beautiful and if you looked hard enough you could see the sky lit up by the town lights that shined brights from a distanced.

"This is beautiful Ethan" I spoke softly but I could tell he heard me by the small smile that creeped on his face.

"Why did you bring me here?"

His smile faded as he turned away from me staring off at the beautiful view in front of us. His hands slipped into his pocket as he let out a deep breath.

"You see me for me Roman, no one has ever done that before"

He turned his attention back towards me and I gave him a small smile, Ethan was an incredible person, and I'd admit he can be so stubborn, but he's a hurting and confused person and even they need someone to love them and be there for them.

"I'm your friend Ethan, and I'll always see how amazing you are"

I walked over laying my head on his shoulder as we watched the sky start to light up from the sun. I didn't even realize iv been up all night but I felt restless, and more alive than ever.

"Me and Grayson use to come here all the time, he would always say this is where he would propose to the one, I always thought he was crazy because I never believed he would fall in love, he was so cold and hateful after our father died, but then came you, Iv seen the way he looks at you and Iv never seen him look at someone that way, he really does love you Roman" he says as he nudged my shoulder.

I looked up meeting eyes with his as I gave him a smile, my stomach had all these butterflies thinking about Grayson, it's just this affect he had on me.

"Trust me, I love him to, E".
