Is This Destiny? 2- Part 16

It was probably around seven o'clock in the morning when I woke up. The sun shone through the thin curtains filling the room with a warm sensation of summer. The rain had stopped, luckily but as I glanced out the window, I realised some patches on the ground was still pretty damp and wet. All through last night, I decided that maybe I'm relying on Ethan way too much. He was really nice to pay for my flight just to get here to Texas to see Jake. So maybe I owe him, like a lot! I can't help but feel like I'm being too pushy. You know what I mean, right? Just because he's Jake's brother, doesn't give me the right to take advantage of him. Taking my pyjamas off, I took a red shirt and jeans from my suitcase and carefully slipped them on. After that, I shoved my pyjamas back in my suitcase and quickly made my bed. I made sure the room was exactly how I first saw it- nice and clean! I dragged my suitcase against the floor as I slowly walked out the room and closed the door behind me. The whole house was dead silent and as I had said earlier, I was definite that it was only Ethan and I at home. So, what actually happens to the house when he's not in Texas? I shrugged as I slowly walked over to Ethan's room. The door was shut and I couldn't hear anything or anyone. I actually wanted to talk to him before I go- like a thank you, for letting me stay for the night and paying for my flight. Placing my ear against the door, I tried to listen for any sounds. Sighing and knowing that maybe he had already left his room or even the mansion, I started dragging my suitcase back to my room until I heard a very silent mumble. I could just be hearing things, right? But no! I heard it again and this time, it was a little louder. I knew it could only be one person! Mr Grumpy. Placing my suitcase against the wall just outside my room, I ran back towards Ethan's room. Taking a deep breath, I tried to think of what to say. Come on! Just say, thank you, sorry then leave! Easy peasy! Slowly opening the door to his room, I noticed he was probably still fast asleep or maybe half asleep? He was all wrapped up in his duvet and all I saw was his little brunette head, peaking out. 'Um... Ethan?' I shrugged but luckily I saw him move meaning that he was awake. 'I just want to say, thank you for everything but I think it's time for me to leave.' I paused, 'So yeah... you have my kik if you need me.' He moved again and a croaky voice mumbled, 'Okay.' His voice had changed. It sounded really croaky for some reason. I walked up to him and I could tell he was shivering under his duvet. 'Um...' I hesitated, 'A.. are.. you... okay, Ethan?' I asked. He croaked, 'I'm fine... jus.. just go away!' He was turned around facing his back at me so I couldn't really see his face. Slowly taking his duvet off him, I saw him shivering like mad. 'Ariana!' He snapped before wrapping his body again with his duvet, 'Ju.. just get the hell out of here!!' Frowning, I felt his forehead and he was freaking boiling! He has a fever and it's probably from the rain last night. He slapped my hand really hard! No joke, it actually really hurts! As usual, he had a frown plastered on his face but he had his eyes closed wanting me to get away from him. 'I'm not going to leave you.' I mumbled. 'I'm fucking fine!' He snapped, 'You're not wanted here.' 'Say whatever you want. Push me away like you want but I'm not leaving this house until I know you're fine.' I know I had to. It's the least I could do for Mr Grumpy...
