Time (Ethan Dolan)

Chapter 27 - Crushes

I was walking out of school with my head down, I had my hood on. I was trying to avoid Hazel. I didn't want to hang out with anyone right now. She's a nice girl. But, I don't fucking know.

When I get home I go straight to my room. I shut my door and I take my t-shirt off. I lay on my bed. I cover my face with the pillow and I scream. I then footsteps coming toward my room.

"What the fuck was that?" Grayson laughed.

"Get out." I try to cover my arm.

I hadn't told my family that I've timed out. I didn't really want to. And I guess it never occurred to them that I had.

"Are you okay?" I heard him come closer

"I said get out, Grayson!"

He frowns and looks down at my arm.

"Why are you covering your arm?"

I try to push him, but he grabs my arm and stares right at it.

"You timed out?"

I nod.

"With who?" He simply asks.

I shrug.

"It wasn't that was girl, was it?" He asks softly,

I shake my head.

"And how do you feel about that?"

"I don't know." I mutter.

"You still love her, don't you?"

I wiped the hair out of my face. "No."

"You do." Grayson whispers. "What have you done?"

"I don't know!" I scream. "I don't know what I did."

"Ethan." Grayson sighed. "I told you-"

"I couldn't help it." I say. "What do I do?"

Grayson ran his fingers through his hair and shrugged. "I don't know."

Carson's P.O.V

"Mom and dad, this is James." I say awkwardly.

My dad crossed his arms and sat back. "The one you timed out on."

"Yes." I reply. "Can we go?"

My dad rolls his eyes and nods. My mom smiles. I grab James' hand and I lead him to my room.

"Well this is it." I laugh. "My uh, my room."

"You're acting weird, Woodridge."

I stare at him for a sec. "What did you call me?"

"Woodridge." He laughs. "Not a fan of that name?"

I shake my head nervously. "No, just, friends call me that."

"Oh right." He nods. "Like Sage?"

I nod. "Yeah."

"I heard you had a bit of a crush on him." He smirks.

"No!" I laugh. "No way."

"Well, do you like me?" He asks coming toward me.

I nod slowly. "Sure."

"Sure?" He asks coming closer and closer. "I like you."

"Interesting." I laugh awkwardly.

"If you want me to stop, tell me to stop." He says, coming inches near me.

James was right in front of me. He placed on hand my hip. The other on my cheek. He leant in slowly. His lips touch mine and we move in sync. He places both of his hands on my hips and brought me closer.

We pull away and I stare at him. "Do you wanna watch a movie or something?"

James laughs and looks down. "Sure."
