accomplice | ethan dolan

- a week later

i've been avoiding ethan since we almost kissed for a second time last week, but it's been hard considering the fact that he's always in my house.

noah has been extremely over protective of me whenever ethan's around, and ethan has probably noticed it because he has kept his distance.

i don't want to keep my distance from him, but i love Noah and i know having feelings for ethan is wrong.

"zack!" i run after him downstairs when i notice him trying to sneak past my bedroom.

"i already told you no" he sighs as we come into the kitchen where ethan is on his phone.

noah and grayson have gone to hack the security system of the jewellery store.

"no to what?" ethan asks.

"i want to come tonight, on the heist"

"so come" he shrugs.

"zack won't let me" i glare at zack from across the room.

"you can make your own decisions"

"i'm her older brother and I said no" zack snaps at ethan.

"zack please, it's not even dangerous! you said it's a twenty minute job"

"you have no idea what you're getting yourself involved in" he sighs and ethan stays silent.

"diego diaz kidnapped me last week and tried to kill me, i already am involved!"

zack doesn't know what to say and looks at ethan for help.

"diego would have killed me if jade wasn't there" ethan admits, "she can protect herself"

"if anything happened to you-"

"nothing will" i cut him off, knowing that I'm starting to get my own way.

"fine. you can come, but you stay beside me at all times"

"thank you!" i pull him into a hug, "and thank you for convincing him" i sing, wrapping my arms around ethan who's sitting down, before realising what I'm doing.

he tenses up at first but relaxes into my arms just as i'm pulling away.

"go get dressed, we're leaving soon" zack warns and i do as i'm told.

but what do I even wear to a heist?

all the boys outfits consist of mostly black jeans and black sweaters, i think it's best i match them.

just as i'm ready to go noah and grayson pull up outside.

"jade! let's go!" zack yells from downstairs.

oh shit, it's happening.

"what the hell are you doing here?" noah turns around from the passenger seat when i get into the car.

"i'm coming" i shrug.

"absolutely not"

"zack said yes"

"are you insane?" he glares at zack, "she's going to slow us down"

"she's fine. grayson drive" ethan states, ignoring noah's tantrum.

"why the fuck are you getting involved?" noah snaps back and ethan tenses up beside me.

"ignore him" i whisper before placing a hand on wthan's thigh, "he's not worth it, trust me"

noah doesn't notice my hand but zack does, and he doesn't seem happy about it.

"get out of this car, or i'm calling the cops and warning them about this job"
