Runaway ||e.d||

Chapter 6

He's surprised at first but then loosens up. It's amazing. Unlike anything I've even experienced before. I slowly detach our lips and smile and he smiles back. I then sit back and put my head on his shoulder and get comfortable.

The rest of the night we just talked up on the seat of the Ferris wheel until we decided to climb down and head home.

12:30am

We arrive back at my house and we are parked in the car.
"Hey, it's late how about you say at mine?" I ask
"Yeah that would be really good thanks" he said
We walk in my small apartment.
"Sorry it's really small, I don't have much money and sorry it's empty and.." he stops me as I ramble on and interrupt
"Macy it's fine" he smiles
I let out a breath and sit on the couch.
"Do u mind if I have a shower?" He asks
"Yeah that's all good, I would offer you cloths but I don't have any men's cloths haha "
"Haha that's all good, I actually have some spare cloths in my car. Don't ask why" he chuckles
"Why?" I ask with a smirk
He shakes his head chuckling and walks out.

We have both had showers and I finish brushing my teeth.
I head out to the lounge room and set up a pillow and blanket for me to sleep with.
Not long after Ethan came out of the toilet and was about to lay on the couch until I walk up to him.
"No no no, I'm sleeping on the couch. You can sleep in my bed" I reassure him
"No way, I'm a guest. This is your home and I ain't gonna kick you out of your bed" he insists
I stand my ground with crossed arms.
"What?" He asks slightly chuckling
"I'm not letting you sleep on my small uncomfortable couch. How about you just sleep in my bed with me, it's big so there's lots of room?"
"Only if it's ok with you" he says
"Of course, now come on it's late"
As we get in the bed the bedside lamp is the only light on and Ethan is facing the opposite way of me so I take my jumper off leaving me in a t-shirt and shorts and go straight under the covers so Ethan doesn't see my scars.
I turn on my side and instead of starring at the ceiling, I can actually fall asleep.
For the first time in forever i got more than just a few random hours of sleep.. was this because of Ethan?

I wake up curled up with Ethan. "Shit shit shit" I whisper to myself. I lift Ethan's arm off me and try and slip out and not wake Ethan up. As I stand up I quickly put my jumper on incase he wakes up.
Ethan tosses a bit but didn't wake up thankgod.
I walk out of the room and do my morning routine I guess you could call it. I also play music but not too loud I don't want to wake Ethan up.
After awhile Ethan comes out.
"Morning sleepy head" I tease
"Haha funny" he says sarcastically
We laugh
"How did you sleep" he asked
"Not bad actually"
"Same"

"Ok i think I've overstayed my stay haha, I better head off" Ethan slightly sighs knowing what he has to go home to
"Oh no it's all good, it's actually been really nice having company" I slightly smile
"Well we will catch up again soon, text me"
He then says goodbye leaves.

I have never felt this way before.. I'm in disbelief this is happening but it is so nice. I just hope I'm not making a mistake.

Ethan's POV.

As I'm driving a anxiously tap my fingers on the steering wheel knowing I have to face my step father I'm left to be here with.
It's been 3 years since my life has completely turned upside down.
3 years ago.. my twin brother Grayson passed away. Our whole life we just lived with our mum since our dad passed away when we were young.
When Grayson passed, I and my mum.. if I would even call her that anymore. Found it very hard to cope, but we had completely different forms. I was just sad.. depressed and mum didn't help. She completely blamed it on me.. abused me.
But how could I have stopped him from killing him self, it's the fucking bullies fault. We both got bullied our whole life, I guess it got too much for Grayson as well as it did for me and he just cut the line and decided it was too much..
just thinking about it I have tears streaming down my cheeks.
Last year my mum passed away in a car accident and even though she did very horrible things.. she's still my mother, also at that time she had gotten married to Jeff.. my step dad. Their relationship was toxic but I could do nothing about it. I've always been alone ever since gray left.. when mum passed I was forced to live with Jeff. Since I had nowhere to go and he didn't let me leave. He abuses me whenever he feels like it or if I do anything he doesn't like.
We came to Australia and are staying here for a trip, Jeff said it's a secret that I can no nothing about, so I guess I'm just stuck with him.
These last 3 years have been hell and I don't know if I will ever be able to escape..
But for the first time, when I'm with Macy.. she makes me somewhat forget about all the problems and completely blows me away. I never thought I could let anyone in again until I found her. Something in me just said fuck it.
Maybe she is my escape.. we will just see I guess.

I snap out of my thoughts and arrive in the drive way of one of Jeff's friends house who's were staying at. I unlock the door and the house reeks of alcohol, smokes and drugs.. that's all they do. The room I'm staying in is the only room in the house to get away from the smoke and toxic smells. I sneak in so Jeff doesn't see me. I really don't want to deal with him right now. I reach my room and quickly and quietly shut the door.
I walk over and sit on the mattress I sleep on on the floor and sigh. I really hope I see Macy again soon.
