Lost in time G.D E.D

Part 7

James hasn't answered any of my calls over the passed week.
Ethan and Grayson don't answer their phones either. I feel lonelier and lonelier everyday. Since its late May I still have a long time until next April.I check my kitchen and notice its pretty empty but I'm hungry. I grab my wallet and walk down the road to the grocery store.

On the way home a Car passes by on the mostly empty road.The car honks out of no where and I look over to see the car going in reverse. Oh no, I'm gonna die right here.I find Ethan sitting in the drivers seat and the passenger side window down.

"Get in, I'll drive you home," Ethan offers."Are you sure? Youre not busy?" I ask."I'm not doing anything important, c'mon," he waves me over.

I get in and set my bags on my lap. I point him down to the apartment."So what were you doing? Just driving home?"

"I was driving back to get Grayson but you seem more fun,"

"Well thanks," I laugh, "I'm much cooler than Grayson ,"

"I heard James talking bad about you. What happened?"

"What?" I look at him in shock, "He's talking bad about me?"

"He called you a bitch, and also said he never wants to talk to you again," he says casually as he drives.I tear up, "He's my best friend, all just because I refused to kiss him?"

"Yes, he's not a good friend," he reaches over and rubs my shoulder. I smile weakly at him. People talk about how frightening he is, ever since the day I was hit by that cake he has never made me feel unsafe or scared.

Of course besides occasional trips to pizza jacks this is the first time we've been together outside of school. He could be different outside of School.

We get to my place and I invite him inside. He nods and takes the bags in for me. I unlock the door and he takes them into the kitchen."Awe you're so nice," I tease him and ruffle his hair.

He pouts and jokingly glares at me. I start putting food away and give him a can of Dr.Pepper, I know Grayson and Patrick are crazy for it.

"Thanks," he takes it and sits on the couch. I watch him looking around and I sit down by him,

"Do you have a computer?"

"No, just use one at school,"

"Lets go to my place," he stands up not really giving me an option."I guess," I get up and follow him. I've never been to anyone elses house before in this time.

James and Patrick only ever come to my house. Even at home I only ever went to Chloe's (Hannah's daughter) house once.

Until I was 11 I was at Patrick's house more than my own. After Hannah died I never left my house anymore.

"Olivia!" Ethan screams and I look up scared, he immediately quiets down,

"You were staring at my car door for two minutes,"

"Oh, sorry," I say embarrassed and get in his car. We drive to his house and its a pretty nice big house. It's not as big as the mansion my parents wasted their money on.

"Welcome home," he smiles at me and parks in the driveway. I follow him into the house and his parents are sitting on the couch watching the news."Hi E," his mom says. Ethan quickly grabs my arm and pulls me close behind him so his parents can't get a real look at me.

"Who's your friend?" His dad asks.

"Just a friend from school," he holds my wrist and pulls me into their computer room, he shuts the door behind me.

He points at a computer chair and I sit."What was that about?" I cock my head. He sits in the chair across from me."Nothing really, I'm just a private person," he shrugs,

"Also I'm sure you don't wanna meet any dumb parents,"

"Ethan , you're my friend, I don't care about meeting them," I shake my head.

"Lets just play Mario."he says quiet and turns on his computer. I watch him sadly, his mood changed so quickly.

He turns on the game and I watch him play for a while After a couple of hours of us on his computer, once in a while making jokes or him explaining something, we hear his parents talking outside the door.

Ethan huffs and turns in his chair. The door opens and Grayson walks in glaring."What the fuck e ? You were supposed to met me hours ago." He stands over Eric, his back to me.

"Grayson." I stand up. He quickly turns and looks down at me."You left your own brother to hang out with her?" He yells louder, he looks at Ethan and his hands shake.

"Stop ignoring me Dolan," I pull on his wrist. Grayson reaches around and pushes me off so I land in the chair

"Grayson!"Ethan pushes him. He looks around Grayson and asks if I'm okay."Y-yeah," I say quietly."I'm gonna drive her home, I'll be back in 20,"

Grayson turns off the computer and grabs my shoulder lifting me."Sorry Olivia," Ethan growls and stomps down the basement stares.

"Why did you do that Grayson ?" I snap at him as he pulls me out of the den and the front door."You don't belong here Olivia," he forces me into his passenger seat and he gets in.

"Ethan invited me, it's his house!" I remind him.

And mine,we have plans, where's your house?"

"Just drop me off at Pizza-jacks I don't want you to know where I live," I cross my arms.

"Where is your fucking house!" He snaps and I give him my address

.So apparently Ethan is sad and Grayson is mean outside of school.

Grayson pulls up to the apartment and I get out quietly, I don't even say bye. With that, he speeds away.
