"jade" ethan whispers, "you need to get up"

"what's wrong" my voice is muffled as i bury my head into his chest, still half asleep.

"zack is freaking out, he wants you home"

"a few more minutes" i groan wrapping an arm around him and he laughs.

"he's worried about you"

"i worry about him everyday, he can wait"

"noah wants you home too" he mutters.

"can we not talk about him right now, please"

"jade" he sighs.

"really ethan, i don't want to"

"if this is about that kiss-"

"it's not" i get up off him and move to the other side of the bed.

"i don't want you to act on it. you just saved my life and i saved yours, we were still full of adrenaline and it happened. it didn't mean anything"

"yeah exactly" i mumble, "i love noah"

"you ready to go?" he asks me before getting up to change his t-shirt since it's covered in blood.

"can we get food on the way?"

"whatever you want" he smirks, "here" he throws me a hoodie, "it's cold out"

"thank you" i smile.

i'm engulfed with the smell of his cologne as soon as i put the hoodie on and try to hide how happy i am about it.

once we're ready, we get into his car and make a stop at taco bell before finally going home.

"if noah tries to blame you for any of this, tell me. i'm not letting him hurt you again"

"i'll be fine" i assure him before going inside.

"i've been so worried about you!" zack rushes towards me and pulls me into a hug as soon as i come into the house.

"i'm fine" i laugh as ethan comes in behind me.

grayson sighs with relief when he comes downstairs and sees ethan.

"you got her involved in this. this is all your fault" zack glares at ethan and tries to confront him but i get in between the two of them.

"this is not his fault!" I push zack away from him, "it was my idea to meet diego, this is my fault. ethan risked his life when he came to save me, unlike the rest of you" i scoff while staring at noah who is watching everything unfold from the kitchen doorway.

he slams the door before storming off.

"i'll go talk to him" zack mutters.

"no, i will" I pull him back before following noah.

"are you finished throwing your tantrum?" i smirk when i find him having a smoke in the backyard.

"fuck off" he rolls his eyes at me.

"who gave you the black eye?" i ask curiously, when i'm close enough to notice it.

"doesn't matter" he mutters but i have a feeling it was ethan.

"what are you so mad about?"

"the remark you just made"

"i was just calming zack down"

"no, you meant exactly what you said. diego said he'd kill you if zack didn't show up alone but ethan didn't care and fucked off to rescue you on his own. he could've got you killed but here you are bragging about how he saved your life! he didn't risk his life, he risked yours!"
