Truth Or Dare

Chapter 15 The Truth Be Told

I spent the rest of the night sulking in my bedroom, avoiding the inevitable talk with my mother. That is until she knocked on my bedroom door.

"Ethan?" She barely whispered behind the door that I considered my shield. My shield I used to protect myself from all the bullshit that is known as life.

"What?" My voice was tired and small, reflecting my emotions.

"There's someone here to see you," My mum replied,

"Who is it?" I sat up in my bed and got up to open the door to my mum.

"I've never seen him before..." She trailed off obviously contemplating whether this person was actually real or not.

I brushed past her and made my way down the stairs. And sure enough a very unlikely visitor was sitting on the sofa.

"What are you doing here?" Harry snapped his head up to look at me.

"Um, I'm here because I need your help," He rubbed the back of his neck with his hand nervously.

I turned to face my mum as I heard her footsteps descending the stairs. She didn't say a word as she entered the kitchen.

I sat down on the sofa before answering.

"What do you want me to help you with?"

"Well it all started at the party two hours ago..."

Two hours ago

*flashback*

"How come Jake is letting you be here, Harry?" Niall questioned as we walked through the crowd of wasted teens and young adults.

"Technically I'm not meant to be here but who gives a shit?!" I respond earning a small chuckle.

"He will kill you then," Niall grew serious his eyes scanning the majority of unfamiliar faces.

"I don't care! Where's Katie? I need to talk to her about Ethan!" I too started scanning the people.

"What about him?" We gave up as the swarming crowd grew larger.

"I'm worried that he doesn't know what he's got himself into, apparently he was arrested! He is too innocent to be caught up in this bloody crap," I sigh, running a hand over my face. I rubbed my eyes as the blinding coloured lights reflecting into them.

"Wait is that Jake?" I saw Niall point to a small hallway off to the side of the kitchen. Sure enough there he was with his tongue down a girls throat.

"Hang on..." I approached closer, not willing to believe my eyesight just yet but my suspicions were confirmed.

Niall obviously saw what I did as he commented.

"Hold the fuck up... Is that Jess?"

And of course it was, the brunette turned her head slightly, giving us the identification of the brunette she was. Jake was full blown making out with Jess!

I couldn't watch as they continued to grope and kiss. My anger levels started to rise almost sending me to the breaking point. My jaw clenched shut and my fists balled tight at my sides and then I relaxed. The tension of anger was suddenly replaced by the tension of overwhelming sadness.

This was Katie's boyfriend, her love. Although she thought. Niall and I just stood there completely astonished at our discovery.

When we saw them finally pull back from the kiss and part their separate ways we escaped to the great outdoors.

I immediately hopped into my car, dropping Niall at his house and making my way to find Ethan. Niall knew where he lived strangely so he gave me the directions.

And here I was.

Present

"Oh my god..." Were the only words that could pass my stuttering lips.
