Crowned: Most Likely to be Gay (✔️)

Crowned: He's Awake

                           *Ethans POV*

I can hear voices around me but the words aren't clear. I wanted to open my eyes so quickly but my eyelids didn't have the energy,I didn't have the energy. I wiggled my toes and my fingers trying to take control over my body.

I gently nod my head and finally,I was able to open my eyes. I turned my head to see Ian and Stacey sitting next to me with smiles on their faces. "You're up" Stacey points out as her face lights up. "Duh"I say with a small laugh and coughing afterwards. "What kind of drugs do they have me on?"I say as Stacey and Ian laugh. "I'm going to call your parents and tell them you're awake" Stacey informs stepping out of he room.

"Ian!" my mom called out as she entered the room. She gave me a hug and I groaned. "Sorry"she says cautiously getting off of me. "Care to tell us what happened?" my dad asked crossing his arms. I sat up cautiously. I can feel the pain in my stomach and my arm as I forced myself to sit up. "Uhm" I say as the room became silent. I knew exactly what happened,I just didn't want to deal with the whole court thing or involving the police, I know how loving my parents are and I know they'll do anything to protect me.

"I was drunk and got into a fight with some guys,it's not that big of a deal" I say trying to cover up the entire truth. "Where did the cut on your wrist come from? That girl,I believe her name was Natalie, she said your car was still there in the morning and that's when she went to look for you"my dad informed suspiciously. "Uh- I-I think I cut it on a tree branch or maybe when I fell or something and I'll pick it up when I can" I say. "Well I'm glad you're okay and don't worry we've already picked it up" my mom says leaning in for another hug. I examine Stacey standing there not believing a word I said. I can tell she felt something was off. Stacey didn't have to speak, her face expressions spoke for her.

My parents left the room leaving Stacey and I alone. Stacey stood there with her arms crossed tapping on her foot on the ground waiting for answers that she hasn't even asked questions to. "Spill" she demanded.I let out a sigh and explained everything that happened. How Zedu played me,how Chad and his crew jumped me, how Chad sliced my wrist,how Zedu drugged me,yeah,I felt that when we were in the middle of our little role play.

Stacey lets out a sarcastic laugh,a laugh of disbelief "you're kidding me right?" she says with a smile that meant anger. "I'm going to kill that son of-''. I cut Stacey off before she tried anything stupid. "No,Stace" I said calmly. "Why did you lie to your parents?" Stacey asked. "I didn't want the police getting involved" I admitted. "ET,they deserve the hell that was coming to them. Why would you-''I cut Stacey off once more. "Because it's my decision Stacey!" I snapped.

Stacey releases her arms and takes a step back. "I'm sorry"she says with a frown. "Hey,no I'm sorry,I didn't mean to snap. You've been a great friend and I just. I think it's the drugs" I say letting out a gentle laugh. "I haven't been a great friend" she mummered. "Excuse me?" I ask for clarification. "Nothing. Hey I'll catch you later. I'm glad you're okay"Stacey says before heading out the room.
