i lay awake in the dark. my eyes open wide almost as if they are impossible to shut. i jerk at every little noise. ugh why did i tell them i would watch the scary movie. i should have just told them i was too much of a baby to watch it. i roll around on the couch trying to get comfortable. i was sleeping at the twins house because my furniture was still being shipped to my new house. the clock that blinked 2:54 stared at me from across the living room. i wish i could have just slept in ethan's bed but i couldn't because gray doesn't know that we are dating yet. the fridge starts making a rattling noise which makes me jump in my skin. that's it. i say to myself. i roll off the couch and i walk groggily, but quickly up the stairs to ethan's room. i walk as fast as i can scared that something is chasing me in the dark. the house was silent except for the little pitter patter of my footsteps. i open the door slowly to find ethan curled up under his blankets asleep. he doesn't get bothered by scary movies like i do.
"ethan." i say tiredly in my raspy, groggy voice. he groans and stirs in his bed. once he sees me standing there helpless he sits up with his feet dangling off the bed.
"what's wrong." he asks quietly as he pulls me down on his lap. i snuggle closer into his chest.
"i can't sleep." i say rubbing my eyes."
"awh why not." he asks placing a gentle kiss on my temple.
"i'm sacred because of the movie." i say quietly. my face turns a darker shade of pink but is luckily hidden in the dark of the night. he gently rubs the side of my thigh, where his hand is resting, with his thumb. he lays me down on his bed and pulls the covers up by my chin.
"goodnight princess, i love you" he says kissing me on the cheek.
"night love you." i respond quickly falling asleep wrapped in e's arms.

i walk down the stairs quietly expecting to find emma asleep on the couch, how it was last night before i went to bed. to my surprise she wasn't there. she wouldn't leave, why would she. i head to ethan's room to see if he knew were she was.
"ethan!" i yell walking towards his room expecting that i was going to have him wake up. i stop dead in my tracks to see emma curled up in a little up under ethan's arm. emma stirs a little and ethan pulls her closer to his chest so she would stop moving. i take out my phone and snap a picture. not in a creepy way. i just wanted to send it to james because we have a little thing we're we always talk about ethan and emma dating. it's kind of obvious that they are, or at least they like each other but they never tell us. i walk out of the bedroom and let them sleep.

i wake up to the feeling of ethan caressing my cheek with his fingertips.
"good morning beautiful." ethan says in his deep morning voice.
"hi." i say quickly as my cheeks burn. we barely ever get to spend the mornings to get her because no one knows about our relationship. i bury my head deeper into the pillow to hide my bright red cheeks. he just laughs at my actions which makes my face turn even brighter.
"do you think gray will notice that i'm in your bed." i ask quietly. ethan rolls over to look at what time it is then back towards me.
"yeah probably." he shrugs, "we can just tell him you got too scared to go to sleep by yourself." he says tickiling my stomach. i giggle and squirm trying to get away from him but it's no use. ethan pulls me into a hug and rests his chin on my head. we are interrupted by the sound dishes clattering and cabinets closing.
"i'm gonna go get in the shower." ethan says pulling away from out hug. i sigh not wanting to be released from his grip. ethan sits up and his feet dangle off the bed. i get up and start heading out of his room but he grabs my wrist and pulls me to face him.
