FEAR . ethan dolan

twenty-seven

I sat down next to Ethan on the couch and handed Parker and Grayson a bowl of popcorn to share. I picked out the candy corn in the Halloween candy mix we had bought and popped them into my mouth one by one. 
"How can you possibly eat that crap, Anabelle?" Parker says, grabbing the candy and picking out the snickers. "I agree with her, Anabelle. Candy corn is the devils candy."
I look over at Grayson and disagree with him, "It's called the devils lettuce."
"That's weed, sweetie." Ethan pipes up and Parker laughs, "Of course you would know."
The four of us continue making jokes and forgetting about whats going on around us. Just being in eachothers presence was so fun. We watched the movie, finally deciding that we should watch The Blair Witch Project, as it is my favorite spooky movie.
"Let's play a game." Parker announces and we all nod, agreeing to play whatever game she had in mind. "Ok, I just made this game up. It's the "1 out of 10 game." So basically, you ask someone how likely they would be to do something, and they must answer on a scale of one through ten."
Parker explained the rules a bit more in depth and we soon began playing. First it was Grayson's turn. He turned to Parker and asked her "Out of ten, how likely are you to walk outside without pants on?"
Parker laughs, "Like, 3. It's freezing outside!" Parker then turns to me and I sigh, knowing it was now my turn.
"Anabelle, how likely are you to lick a lollipop someone else has already licked?" I gag at the thought of it and Grayson giggles at my reflexes. I glare at him and answer, "Negative ten, Parker. I can't do that shit. Saliva's nasty, captain."
We continue playing and eventually Ethan and Grayson are sound asleep, both leaning back with their mouths slightly open. Parker looks up at me and whisper yells, "Aren't you even a little bit scared somethings gonna happen to you, Anabelle. I mean for christs sakes Amanda is insane. She's nuts." I sigh, "Of course I'm scared, Parker. I'm fucking terrified! But I love hanging out with these two and Ethan is so so much better than he once was."
"Look, I'm not gonna stop you from hanging out with them because I'd be very hypocritical if I said you shouldn't. I love them too! But what I will tell you is be careful! I don't want you getting hurt."
I nod and look at Ethan who was still sleeping soundly. I lift my hand up and run it through the loose curls that lied atop his head and I hummed to myself softly, Parker sitting in the silence beside me.
"I can see how much you care about him. He cares just the same, Anabelle. So much can change in just 24 hours."
"He'll never care about me the same way I care about him."
