You've got to be kidding me

A/N THE SONG ABOVE DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE STORY... tis just some light tracks to listen to while you read...I'm gonna try to upload a cool song for each chapter

(Ethan's P.O.V)

I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about Benny and watching him die. I turned over and looked at my clock. 3:25 AM blinked back at me.
I got out of my bed and threw on some sweats. I grabbed my iPod and headphones and decided to go for a walk. The nights in Whitechapel are very underrated. They are perfect. I hit shuffle as I left my house, I have this weird obsession of making a playlist for every mood I have and this one 'Mellow summer nights' hit the spot. I decided to head to my usual cool down spot. The park. Benny and I would sneak out to the park when we were stressed out about school or anything in general. I took the long way to the park to see if Benny wanted to come with me. His light was on which was a good sign. As I got closer to his house that's when I noticed a figure in his window. I could tell the figure wasn't Sarah's or Erica's. The person opened the window quickly and it turned out to be ... Jesse? You have got to be kidding me. What was he doing in Benny's room? Nothing is making sense anymore, first Benny and Sarah, then my vision and now this? I shoved my hands in my pockets and rushed to the park. When I got there I couldn't think straight. I paced the beat path my mind racing with questions. 'Why was Jesse in his room this late? Does this mean he likes Jesse? Is he using Sarah to get to Jesse or the other way around? Why hasn't he talked to me about this? Is..is he ashamed? Have I been a bad friend? Does he not trust me anymore? Why is he hidding things from me?'

The more I paced the more I was on edge. 'I need to get home,' I thought ' I need to confront Benny about this.' I left the park avoiding going by Benny's house. As I was walking something felt off. It was as if I was being followed by someone or something. I turned off my music and quicken my pace back to my house. To confirm my suspicion a thick fog started to settle in. I started to run home. I was close when I bumped into someone. More like I was pushed into someone.

" Hey man are you okay?" a familiar voice asked holding me before my face ate dirt.

"Yeah I.. I'm fine," I said brushing myself off of the person. I squinted trying to make out the person. "Rory? Is that you?" I asked

" You know it!" He responded with his signature goofy grin.

" Where the hell have you been?" I questioned " We haven't heard from you since the back to school party Erica threw in September.... and that was months ago. "

" I know I had to uh... leave for a bit. You see I got mixed up in some trouble and I was hoping you and Benny could help me out a little " he asked sheepishly.

"Benny and I don't do that anymore. We made an agreement with all of the supernatural groups. I'm sorry man." My watch beeped letting me know that it was 5 am. " Listen I gotta go, I got school in a few hours and unlike you I need sleep." I joked.

Rory chuckled " Alright man, see you at school." Then he bolted off.

I ran to my backyard to climb through my window. My mom and dad would kill me if they knew I was out all night. I swiftly climbed my little makeshift ladder and opened my window. I kicked off my shoes and placed them by my door when I heard my window slam shut.

"Jesus, Mary, and Joseph," I exclaimed.

" No need for the blasphemy," Jesse said emerged from the shadows.

" Jesse what the hell are you doing in my room," I bent over to catch my breath. " You almost gave me a heart attack."

" If you were having a heart attack I would know," he smiled showing his fangs. I backed up slowly and grabbed the closest object to me, which ironically was a coding/encryption trophy

" Hey easy there tiger, I am only joking. I come in peace," he said in his defense.

" The last time you said that you tried to kill me," I glared. "Fool me once shame on you, Fool me twice shame on me. Fool me thrice and this trophy is going straight through your heart"

I was not going to let Jesse close to me. I can't trust him. I don't trust him. He was with Benny tonight and that hurt me more than anything.

" Listen Ethan, I am not here to hurt you," He started "For once I am actually on your side. I noticed you coming in this late and I wanted to make sure that you were okay."

This shocked me. In all my years knowing Jesse he never expressed any genuine concern for anyone other than himself. I felt my weapon slightly loosen from my grip.

" What is to you huh?"

" Ethan, it's not safe out there anymore, especially at night. I know we have had our differences in the past and that you have no right to trust me but you gotta believe me. I don't want to see you get hurt." He said.

Part of me was screaming at me to trust him but the other part of me wanted to stay made mad at him forever.

" I am not sure if I can trust you but I think I can believe you," I said without realizing

"Good that's all I needed," He smirked. He made his way to my window like he did at Benny's.

"Wait," I stopped him. I wanted to ask why he was at Benny's. If he liked Benny or what but I didn't. " I ran into Rory before coming home"

That was enough to make him tense up and slam my window shut.
