Love Square

Chapter 17: I found him!

The plan was basically the same except, since we didn't know if Eve had had the potion or not, they sneaked in. Yes! I wasn't part of this. I admitted I hadn't listened to the first plan and I was probably not the best person to fight against Eve. Instead, while they defeated Eve, I would check up on Ethan. I was so worried about him! Luckily, I saw him in the main square, enjoying the sun for the first time in ages. He looked happy! I could feel a smile being drawn on my face. I knew who I really and truly loved. It was him. He was the only one I really felt intimate about. Braylen was my childhood crush. What I learnt from him is to take no as an answer and was the one who helped me identify myself as gay. Micah taught me that not every friendship has to end in love. Just because we are both gay doesn't mean we HAVE to be together. He also looked after me and saved me from being into Braylen forever. He was the one who got me out of that habit of crushing over Braylen. Without him, I might have still not got over him.  Even though Braylen and Micah weren't the people I am going to be with. They helped me grow into the boyfriend I needed to be for Ethan. 

It was time! I went up to him and made this right. "Ethan?" He looked over at me with a glare, "What now? What else do you have to lecture me about?!" Then, I said probably the most mature thing that ever came out of my mouth. I still think to this day it was the spirit of my mother guiding me:

"Ethan! I'm so sorry for what I did! I didn't know what got into me! I thought I was the one with all the problems with all these men flirting with me but I never thought myself in your place. I don't know what I'd do if some other men were flirting with you. I'd probably freak out and scream. I don't know how you could have been that calm for so long. You had every right to scream at me that night. What I said to you was completely rude of me. Ethan! I love you with all I am and all I have! You might be angry at me but I ask, Ethan Slade, will you... will you marry me?"

I got down on one knee and presented him a ring. It had a bat and a wand to represent me and Ethan. Ethan was paralysed in shock (he could barely splurt out a word). Instead, he nodded as he started to cry. I never saw him cry before but soon, I joined in. We shared a long, adorable kiss. He was the one, the one of me!
