Shattered Boy E.D (On Hold)

Chapter 6

It's been three weeks since the Jake and Ethan incident. Jake ended up being fine and went back home. Unfortunately, Sydney had to back too. I'm still a little shocked to how vulnerable I can be around Ethan. But I just can't help feeling so comfortable around him.

I was sitting on my bed with my laptop. Of course, watching Netflix and my aunt wasn't home. Then I got a text from Ethan.

Sierra bold
Ethan regular

Hey, I'm so sorry to bother you but could I ask you a big favor.

Absolutely, what's wrong?

I wanted to know if me and Ella (his little sister) could stay the night, I know its a lot to ask for so don't feel like you have to.

I would love for you guys to stay the night, come on. Just curious as to why.

I'll tell you went I get there, your the best.💙

I was excited for them to be staying the night, just confused why. I looked at my self in the mirror and ran downstairs. After what felt like forever the doorbell finally rang. Jumping up to open the door my mood went from excited to worry when I saw Ethan's face.

He had Ella on his right shoulder. Tears stained his red face. While his messy hair pointed in every direction.
He sat Ella on the couch and I hugged him.
"Ethan what happened," I asked concerned.
"I-i um.. My parents were fighting" he spoke sounding more like a question. That's when I was finally going to get the truth from him.
"No Ethan tell me what's really going on, please" I whispered.
"Ok," he pouted.

He told me how his mom was a drug and alcohol addict. Which is why he's never invited me over. His dad just escaped out of jail and his parents were always fighting especially tonight. His parents would always take out there angry with Ethan. Whether it would be burning Ethan, making him take drugs, insulting him, beating him up, or just finding a way to harm him. Ethan said he's never told his parents about me because he's afraid they'll do something to me. He also never let them touch Ella, but tonight his mother almost slapped her. Which is why Ethan was freaking out and asked if they could stay here.

Near the end of our conversation, we here soft snores. We look over to see Ella already asleep on the couch. "Aww, I guess someone was tired" I lightly chuckled.
"Yea" E quickly answered.
"We should get some sleep too, come on." I grabbed his hand. Leading him up to my room. He spoke "I don't know if I should sleep in here. I'm going to be a bother."
"You're, not a bother, Ethan, to be honest. I love your cuddles." Nearing the end of my sentence, my face turns red.
"Um..i.., well I love cuddling you," he said, looking down.
"Well then come on"

I was cuddled in the covers waiting for Ethan to turn the light off when I asked " why don't you take your shirt off, it's really hot"
"Um. I don't know. Just insecure" he pouted.
"I'm not going to judge you, E"
"F-fine but don't laugh"
"Why would I laugh-" I was cut off when Ethan pulled the long shelve shirt over his head.

Tear welt up in my eyes when I scanned his body. He was very well built and toned. But his entire body was covered in cuts and burn marks. Bruises and self-harm.
"E" I sobbed. Opening my arms he came in for a tight hug. We just stayed there as I cried into his neck.
"Why, Ethan"
"Most of them our from my parents, but some are from me" he whispered.
"Why would you do that to yourself"
"I was very depressed and lonely"
"Was?" I questioned.
"That was before I meant you, I promise I don't do it anymore"
" Please never do that again"
"Ok, if it makes you happy, I won't".
" it'll make me more than happy"

I slowly look up into his eyes.

Third Person POV

Ethan looked down into the mine, the smallest dusting of pink on his cheeks, as he did so. Trying to act like he wasn't shying away from Sierra.

He towers over her more and more, making her heart rate increase rapidly and her mind spin a bit as she continuously smells him. He smells like his cologne, though there is a slight twice of the musky vanilla scent, which makes a small smile grow on Sierra's lips.

Ethan could just lean over and kiss her.

Ethan looks to her lips. God, he's gonna go mad if- "I wanna kiss you," He blurts, eyes meeting hers again, "I-I need it." His face has slowly begun inching closer to hers until their noses bumped. A low whine leaves his lips, lips brushing hers as he nudged himself just a tiny bit closer.

Chaste and simple. Just the smallest of tilt of his head, and hand under the younger's chin. Lip on lips, and tingling warm breath.

Pulling away slowly they look back into one another eyes.

Sierras POV

"Ethan" I blushed.
"Yea"
"I like you"
"I like you too, a lot" he chuckled. And with that Ethan laid his head between my chest, using it as a pillow. His arms making a secure barrier around my waist. I felt safe and loved with Ethan. My hand played through his soft fluffy hair. And soon I feel asleep fell to Ethan drawing small circles on my stomach.

YA. K. WELP. BYE 😘
