Him: e.g.d

"Wait, You Have a Sister?" Part 2

I was still at the twins' house having dinner. We just finished our meals and now it's dessert time. Lisa had made a chocolate cake. Well more like bought it from a bakery store, as it had a brand container on it.

"Uh guys," Ethan said grabbing everyone's attention,"I have something important to say." He looked over at me and I obviously knew where this was headed. Cameron and Lisa all had confused faces, meanwhile Dani and Gray were smiling wide.

"Tatum and I are dating." He said holding my hand to lift me up. I smiled very awkwardly. I don't want to find out how they will react to this.

I looked at Lisa and she seemed to be crying a little, but not wanting anyone to see. Cameron was in shock, but hasn't given off some type of negative or positive facial expression. It was just blank.

"Excuse me for a second." Lisa got up slowly from the table and went into the kitchen. "Tatum, could you come over here?" She asked, as she was walking to the kitchen. I gulped and looked at Ethan. His facial expression changed and he now looked scared of what was going to happen.

"Is everything oka-"

"Thank you Tatum." She instantly hugged me, I hugged back but now confused and not at all terrified anymore.

"You're welcome?" I asked. "Sorry, I'm just confused."

"Ethan was never truly himself. He used to be the happiest boy ever. Everything changed when his father passed away. And then he kept coming home with the same sad facial expression. He shut himself out and stayed in his room all day. No one knew what was wrong and I just, I didn't know what to do. At that point I would've paid someone a million dollars just to make my son smile. I just wanted him to be happy, but I couldn't do that. But to know that he's happy with you, makes me feel so much better. I was surprised when he was being so nice about fixing you a plate, and how he was talking at the dinner table. So, thank you Tatum. All because of you, you fixed his broken heart and made him cheerful again." Tears were nonstop pouring out of her eyes as she hugged me once again.

I was scared.

Not about Lisa hating me, because she obviously loves me so much. But the fact that she pretty much said that I'm in charge of his happiness and if I break it then he goes back to being the depressed person that everyone knows well. Once I headed back to the table I started to over think about what Lisa said. Nobody really paid attention to it, since I put on a fake smile.

After all of us talked for awhile, I decided to go back home since I promised Luke I'd watch a movie with him. He was pretty upset about it, but I told him I'd talk to him tomorrow.

"Hey Luke, ready to watch-"

"What the fuck, are you doing here."

"He said he was a friend of yours, so I opened the door." Luke laughed.

"Get away from my brother." My fists and jaw clenched and unclenched.

"Tums, we were just playing." Luke pouted.

"Luke go upstairs." I told him sternly. I didn't mean to use a harsh voice, but Tyler really pushed more than just my buttons.

"But Tu-"

"Now!" I exclaimed as he stomped up the stairs.

"Tyler, what do you want." I sighed as I crossed my arms over my chest. He shrugged as he got up off the couch making his way over to me.

"Just to see how you're doing, I guess." We we're now face to face. I hope this isn't going to be this cliche thing where he threatens me to break up with my boyfriend or he'll hurt him way more than he already has.

"You haven't bothered us for awhile, so why are you starting to now?" I questioned. I'm not scared of him, he's really just a person who likes to see people miserable. Basically he's sort of a psychopath. I learned that in my forensics science class.

"I miss when Ethan was a pathetic coward, who wouldn't talk. He would always just be a loser and walk around the halls with no friends, but clearly that has all changed when you two started dating." He smirked, clearly thinking of something.

"I made him happy again, I'm not going to let you destroy that by bullying him again. Why can't you just leave him alone he's had it with you, he knows how to fight back." My anger was clearly showing. Ethan doesn't deserve to have all this bullshit in his life. It will just hurt him even more, until it hits his limit.

"Just don't fucking get in my way." With that he left, leaving me worried about Ethan. I decided to just tell him tomorrow at school about it. In the meantime I apologized to Luke and told him why I yelled at him like that, but in a vague way so he wouldn't be scared. He forgave me and we went back downstairs to watch a movie. He wanted to watch "The Bee Movie."
