song: happiness by rex orange county

Ethans POV
[ 7:00am ]

"wake uppp!" Grayson sung, skipping around my bed as his hair flopped up and down. I let out a groan before turning my body on the other side. He carried on skipping like a fucking fairy as i kept my eyes shut.

A warm breath fans against my face, making my nose scrunch up. My tired eyes flutter open to see Alex; inches away. 

My eyes widen as i jump letting out a gasp.

My body comes in contact with the floor seconds after with Graysons laughs echoing around me. "holy fuck." i groan, stretching out my body.

My eyes look up to the roof seeing a sleepy looking Alex peek over; looking down at me. He rubs his head as one eye stays shut.

"opps, sorry." he shrugs.

I can't help but let out a chuckle before sitting up criss cross. 

"anything happen last night? did Alex make sure you were okay-"

"well i wasn't woken up by him shaking or screaming-" Alex cuts Grayson off making me widen my eyes before slamming my hand over his lips.

"dude! you guys trying to tell the whole world?!" i whsiper yelled; glaring at the both of them.

"oh come on, no one should be awake-" Grayson leans back before jumping as he gets cut off.

"ERR! wrong. im awake." Scott says leant up against the door frame as he looks fresh and awake.

I feel my body jump a little from the fright of seeing him right there, but soon ease down.

"how do you look so awake?" Alex says with his raspy voice; one eye still staying shut.

"im a morning person." Scott shrugs. "just not a morning person when it comes to a party." he chuckles making Grayson smile.

"any of the girls up?"

"malia is awake, she told me she is going to stay in the room with Bailey to make sure she is okay. Im not so sure as to why she wouldn't be okay, other than- im going to shut up." Scott catches himself as he smiles awkwardly, scratching the back of his neck.

My heart beat raises a little at the thought of Bailey not being okay.

No one seemed to wake up with all the yelling that was happening between us at midnight, and to be honest i was really surprised.

I begged for one last kiss, but she rejected; shyly. I sneaked one in anyhow, on the cheek.

Her eyes widened and her cheeks turned a light pink making my heart flutter that i still affect her. Its nice to know im not the only one.

She affects me so badly, it hurts.

After what happened between us, i feel more confident.

It was definitely not the way i wanted it to go.

But she didn't say she didn't want to get back together later on. She just said she needed time. And time I will give.

Not telling her the little things that could bring her back to me was my decision. I am not going to make her feel bad and guilty when she already felt the guilt in my words. That wasn't even all of it.

Making forts because it reminds me of her, is my thing to say out loud when i want to.

Having multiple nightmares and waking up screaming, panting and shaking. Thats my own problem to deal with.
