FEAR . ethan dolan

six.

"Why do you need to come in?"
It was a simple question, but it took a lot out of me to ask. His mood swings lately make it even harder to handle him.
"I need to talk to you."
You could already tell where this was going. Its gonna be another half assed apology and he's not gonna give a shit tomorrow.
"I don't think thats a good idea, Ethan."
Its not that you didn't want him to apologize, its just that you didn't want him to lie about it. You wanted a sincere apology, not some half assed shit.
"Please, Ana. It's important."
Ethan was very persistent in letting him inside, whatever he needed to say was something he thought really needed to be said.
"Fine, come in. But if you start being an asshole I won't hesitate to throw you out of my house."
Ethan walked in and we went into my room, he looked around for a bit until he sat down on the chair near my desk.
"Look, Ana-" I cut Ethan off, finally getting sick of him calling me Ana
"Please don't call me Ana. It's Anabelle."
"Why? I mean, not to be rude, but why can't anyone call you Ana?" Ethan asks, looking directly into my eyes.
"Look, I'd rather not have to explain that to anyone right now."
"It's alright, but anyway, like I was saying, I'm extremely sorry. I know I said sorry last time and I was a fucking douche, but I guess I just thought about my reputation rather than being a good person for once so I ended up being a dick again. I should have said sorry years ago but I couldn't come around to telling myself that what I was doing was bad. Even after the constant times Grayson's had to yell at me I still wouldn't do it. I don't know whats changed now, maybe it's the fact Parker yelled at me today. Maybe I thought that since Grayson's my brother he didn't care as much as he showed. But I'm here now, and I know I'm way too late, but I'm truly truly sorry for saying all that shit and doing all of that shit to you. You don't deserve it and I caused it. I want to make it right."
Ethan's speech honestly made my eyes water. It was hard, it really was, listening to everything he just said. He could be lying, and thats the hard part of it all. He could be faking the whole thing in order to win a bet or some other thing.
"You know, I'm gonna try really hard to forgive you, but it might take a while. I can't just forgive and forget, ya know? You caused so much of my pain and combining that with the pain I had already had, its pretty difficult to just forgive someone for that. So I'm telling you now, you aren't forgiven but I will try. I really will."
I don't know why I agreed to forgiving him, maybe its the fact that he said all of that. I'm not sure, but either way, he's going to try. I hope.
"Thank you, Anabelle. I know it's going to take a while. I'm alright with that, I just wanted you to know I'm truly sorry this time."
That's all Ethan said before he left my room and went back to his house. I didn't know what to think or do, I just kinda sat their and thought about everything for a while.
-
A week had passed after the whole Ethan situation, he hadn't been rude, but he hadn't been particularly nice either. He just kinda, ignored me for a while. I mean, I wouldn't blame him. I'd ignore me too.
"Hey, how about a party tonight?" Parker says, nudging me and winking.
"You know what, sure."
"Come on, you know you wanna go- WAIT WHAT."
"I said yes, Park. Let's go to a party."
That's something I thought I'd never say, but I just did. But then again, lots of things happen that I don't think will.
-
Parker and I both got ready at her house and headed to the party around 8:30. The place was huge, and already majorly packed. Parker and I went to the kitchen where the drinks were and we both grabbed a cup of whatever it was Parker thought was good.
Considering I've never even had a sip of alcohol in my life, I already knew I was a lightweight. This cup itself would get me wasted.
Parker and I went out to dance, Parker wanted to make sure I had a good time so she went and got me another cup of something.
In only about half an hour, I was already wasted. Parker had finished her fourth cup by the time I finished my 2nd, so she was also pretty fucked up.
"Hey, pretty lady, let me get you a drink?" A guy with dirty blonde hair came up to me, putting his hands on my hips and dancing with me.
"Go ahead, pretty boy." I say, winking at him and swaying to the music.
He walked away and came back with a cup of something, handing it to me. He danced with me some more after that and walked away to go do something else, beer pong I assume.
I got off the dance floor and went outside to see what people were doing.
"ETHAN! HI, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE KIND OF A DICK. BUT THAT'S OKAY." I yell, getting Ethan's attention.
Ethan walks over to me and starts talking, "Are you okay, Anabelle?"
"I'm fine, Ethan. Just a little dizz-" I tripped over the floor and fell over, passing out after Ethan had caught me.
I woke up shortly after, Ethan holding onto me while we sat on the couch.
"Hey Anabelle, you alright? How much did you have to drink?"
"3 cups. I need to find someone."
"You need to sit down for a little while longer."
"No, I need to find that little asshole."
I knew exactly what was happening. That guy that gave you that drink put something in it.
I rushed off of Ethan's lap and went into the crowd of people in order to find the boy that gave me the drink. Ethan was following me, probably to make sure I wouldn't pass out again.
"What did you put in my drink!" I yell, pushing my finger onto the chest of the boy that was dancing with me earlier.
"Anabelle, you're fine. He didn't do anything." Ethan tried pulling me off, but I slapped his arm away.
"YOU GOT ME THIS DRINK. WHAT DID YOU PUT IN IT." I scream, getting louder and causing more attention.
"I didn't put anything in your drink, hun." He says, putting his hands on my shoulder
"Don't fucking touch me." I say, slapping him and running outside.
Ethan's P.O.V
"Hey, thanks for telling her I didn't do anything."
"Well, you did't, did you?"
"No, I put a pill in her drink. But we'll keep that on the down low, won't we?"
That's all he needed to say to make me mad. I punched him across the face and a fight had started.
I hit him over and over, waiting for him to pass out. I wasn't gonna let him get away with this.
I needed to find Anabelle. I had to make sure she was okay.
After a few minutes of searching, I found Anabelle in one of the bedrooms looking at some paintings that had been hung up on the wall.
"Anabelle, I'm taking you home, alright?"
"No, you didn't believe me. I told the truth!"
"I know, and I'm sorry. But I believe you now, and you shouldn't be here anymore if people like him are around. You need to get home."
"Ethan, you're drunk too. I'm not letting you kill me."
"Grayson's driving us home, he didn't drink tonight. He's gonna bring Parker home too."
"I can't go home like this, my dad would kill me."
"You and Parker can stay with Gray and I. Our parents won't mind. You two can stay in Cameron's room, she won't be home tonight."
"Are you sure?"
"I owe you. It might not be much but I'm trying. Just stay over, it's alright."
"Thank you, Ethan."
