27

it's been about a week since the gang figured out blaine was out for my life basically.

ethan has been stuck at my hip every single minute of the day for this entire week. i'm pretty much on lockdown and i don't like it.

grayson is also extremely protective now. but he's always the one who gets ethan to go to bed and leave me be for the night. much much appreciated honestly.

"e, go to sleep. i can make sure she's okay." grayson says sitting on the couch next to me.

"you sure? i can stay up until she wants to sleep or-" ethan starts rambling, which i thought was adorable. but grayson cuts him off.

"dude. i got it. get some sleep. you're starting to get bags under your eyes." grayson chuckles as do i and ethan rolls his eyes.

"okay, fine. night alex." he walks over and sticks arms out for a hug. i get up and wrap my small body into his embrace. i smile and take in his godly scent. ugh.

ethan lets go and i sit back down next to grayson on the couch.

"night ass face" ethan says to grayson. i just chuckle and grayson says night as well.

"thanks" i say to grayson once ethan leaves the room.

"of course." he smiles. "how have you really been?" he asks. i sign and look down.

"i don't know?" i slightly ask myself while answering him. "i'm slightly worried because i know blaine and i know what he's capable of....but i'm also not worried. because i know what i'm capable of and i have you guys now." i say. i look up at grayson and he smiles slightly.

"we have your back, alex. you had ours since day 1." he says. i smile and my heart warms at his statement. "how are you with...well...." he says trying to find the right words. but i just rip it off like a bandaid.

"ethan?" i say in a quieter voice. sort of strained because i get weird thinking about it.

"yeah." he confirms.

"i don't know. being around him this much and him being so protective and caring so much about making sure i'm okay is messing with me." i say truthfully.

"messing with you?" gray asks slightly confused.

"messing wth my emotions?" i say unsure. "like making me feel things. i don't exactly know what things, but i'm definitely feeling something." i confess not only to grayson but to myself.

i hear a slight creak in the wooden floor boards by the stairs and i stiffen up a bit. graysons head flicks behind me, where the stairs are.

the house is dark and it's midnight. so either someone's awake or someone unknown is in the house. let's pray for option number one.

grayson gets up and pulls me with him holding an arm around me to make sure i'm safe. his hand reaches to the wall where the light switch was located and when he flipped it on, the area was empty.

i look at him in confusion and we decided to keep the lights on until we went to bed just in case. our feet carried us back to the couch and sat back down.

"alex?" he asks.

"yeah?" i answer.

"what's your favorite thing about ethan?" he asks.

"i like when he laughs. mostly because when he smiles he doesn't shows his full smile with teeth and all. but when he laughs it's like the most angelic thing in the world. it could light up this entire house. and his laugh is just really pretty as is." i say smiling to myself.

"now what would you change about him?" grayson asks.

i had to think for a second. he can get angry really easy, but it's just because he's an extremely passionate person. he pushes people away a lot and goes cold, but it's because he's been hurt badly and it made him who he is today. i wouldn't change that.

"nothing." i say truthfully. looking back up at grayson. he just grins at me. "what...?" i ask confused.

"you're whipped." he says shortly smiling.

i look down and away from him and think.

"holy shit...i am" i say uneasily.

ETHANS POV BITCHES
(A/N: surprise babes)

i came out of my room to get some water, but i heard grayson and alex talking. i accidentally heard my name and immediately started listening.

i don't know why honestly. but when i took a step further down the stairs, the floor freaked and i freaked out. i heard their talking stop, so i quickly and quietly climbed back up the stairs until i heard the speaking again and i listened.

"what's your favorite thing about ethan?" grayson asks alex. she's quiet at first but then she starts speaking.

"i like when he laughs. mostly because when he smiles he doesn't shows his full smile with teeth and all. but when he laughs it's like the most angelic thing in the world. it could light up this entire house. and his laugh is just really pretty as is." she says. i feel myself smiling and my heart is racing. i don't know why.

"now what would you change about him?" grayson speaks again. uh oh i don't think i want to know this one.

i start to worry because alex stays quiet for a moment that felt like forever.

"nothing." her voice came out softer than i've ever heard it. i felt like my heart just melted and my whole body started to feel tingly.

"you're whipped." grayson speaks up.

i look at the wall on the other side of the stairs and think.

holy shit. i am too. that girl really is on my mind all the time. i worry the most about making sure she's okay, i care so much what she thinks and her input on everything in the world. i love when she talk about things she thinks are important or cool because there's this sparkle in her eye i've never seen before.

there's this fire in her that i don't think i've ever seen in anyone else.

i like her. i really honestly have a shit load of feelings for alex. now what the fuck do i do?
