For as long as I can remember It has always been my mom, me and Grayson. My mum doesn't really talk much about my dad, not that I've ever asked. Sure when I was little I was curious as too why I never had a dad, but that faded away when I saw the look of horror it brought my mum. So yeah, I don't have a dad, he left when I was 6 and when Grayson was 8. Grayson's my older brother, and I love him the most. He was always there for me when mum and dad were screaming at each other. I can't really remember those days, but what little I do was me crouched in the corner of my room, Grayson's arms wrapped around me as my father's voice bellowed through the house. I cried a lot when he was around. I guess that's why I have issues now. Whenever anyone even raises their voice I get terrified. I can't help it. And I guess that's why Grayson's so protective of me now. 

We moved to our house now when I was just a baby, and my dad moved to cali when I was almost 7, and since then my moms been a lot better. So have all of us. Sure Grayson still beats anyone that even comes near me, and I flinch at the sound of any loud noise, but It's no where near as bad as it used to be.

Daddy was screaming again and mommy was upset. I was upset too. I'm crying in my room, alone, without Grayson as he's at his friends house. I'm all alone and I'm really scared. I can hear mommy crying and daddy shouting behind my locked door and I'm scared to move. I miss Grayson. I want him here. 

There was a small tap outside my window, but I could barley move my head to look at the now open window. I cowered slightly into the wall, but small hands wrapped around me, pulling me away. I let out a loud sob, but It was muffeled by a hand. 

I looked up and saw Ethan. He's been best friends with my brother, Grayson, ever since they were two, and I was only a baby. Ethan was really mean to me sometimes and picked on me, but Grayson always stopped him. 

He pulled me close to him and let his hand off my mouth softly shushing as I cried into his chest. 

"It's okay angel" he whispered into my ear as I cried less now. The shouts muffled into the background as Ethan stared deep into my eyes. I felt safe. He pulled me closer and carried me to my bed, climbing in with me. he hugged me until I fell asleep.

Ethan. He was, well special in his own ways. I know he cares for me deep down, well I think he does. He always teases me, but I'm used to it as I've dealt with 16 years of it. 

My alarm rang through my bedroom, causing me to jump slightly at the sound. I groaned and pushed Ethan's large arm of my waist, causing him to groan aswell. "6am" I said patting his back with my hand as he clung to my body. "5 more minutes angel" He said sweetly as I laughed and patted his hair. "No Ethan, move" I said attempting to push his arm off me again. "Pwetty please" He said like a baby, I squished his pouted  face and said "No, now leave manwhore" I said with a tinge of annoyance. He groaned and rolled of me. 

I got up and walked to my bathroom and started getting ready. Let me fill you in, Every night after the first, Ethan came through my window and comforted me when I cried, after 7 months my dad left, but Ethan didn't. He came over every night still. I didn't mind, now I was at the piont where I can't sleep without him, and as much as Ethan denied it, he couldn't sleep without me ether. 

I finished up getting ready throwing on a crop top and some shorts. I walked back into my room and Ethan was gone. As usual. He doesn't stay long. Both me and him know if Grayson knew or found out he would freak and probaly never speak to Ethan ever again. 

"Are you up Em!" Grayson shouted through my door and I answerd with a quick yes before unlocking my door and swinging it open to reaveal Grayson, all ready. 

"Good, breakfasts ready" He said walking down the stairs, me trailing behind him, "Oh and Ethan's driving us" He said just in time for me too see Ethan leant against the kitchen counter, eating my bowl of cereal, may I add. 

I let out a huff and snatched it away from him before he could take another bite. "Make your own, dickhead" I said rolling my eyes at him. He laughed at me. "Good morning to you too, angel" he said with a cocky grin, knowing we've already seen each other this morning. I glared at him, partly for his snarky comment and partly for the nickname.

Angel. He's called me it since I can remember, and like most things I have with Ethan, It stuck. I don't know why he calls me it, nor have I asked, but it bothers me and he knows. 

"Come on, were gonna be late" Grayson called heading towards the door, throwing me a bottle of water, and grabbing ethan's keys, throwing them at him aswell. 

We all got into the car and headed for school. I'm a Junior and Ethan and Grayson are seniors. Another reason why Grayson would kill us if he found out Ethan is the boy who sneaks into my bedroom window..
