1 THE Before
Kians POV: *2 Years Ago*
"Please come over E you know I hate the lighting and the Thunder." I whispered yelled through the phone, so I wouldn't wake my parents.
"I'm already here so come to your window." I smiled into the phone as I was overcome with the mass feeling of butterflies. I turned around to face my window I saw he was indeed there. He was crouched down looking through my window smiling at me looking perfect like always.
"It's unlocked." I said into the phone. Hearing the window open I hung up. Every ounce of fear I felt was gone once he wrapped his arms around me and since his clothes were so damp he made my back wet but I didn't mind as long as I was close to him.
"Hey." I whispered trying to be as quiet as possible.
"Hey." He said in my ear kissing my neck like he always does. I turned around in his arms and began to lift his shirt up, so I wouldn't be completely soaked.
"Look who's being forward." He said with a big grin. I just slapped his chest playful, making him put his arms up making it easier to take off the shirt.
"You are soaked."
"So are you." I was red in an instant but luckily it was dark enough, so he couldn't see my flaming cheeks. I hated the way his sexually jokes affected me.
"Someone's rather playful tonight." Ethan kissed my forehead and unwrapped his arms around my body and began to undress and grabbed a new pair of boxer out of his drawer. I got to see his cute butt for only a mere second though.
"You have a nice butt." I joked, and he just wagged it in front of me making me laugh. He went in another one of his drawers and handed me another shirt. He has two out of the eight drawers so it wasn't really a loss for me. It rains a lot in Seattle and I hate it, on the flip side that means Ethan can come over and stay the night. My parents have gotten tired of laying with me till I fall asleep, so they let Ethan do it. I don't know why he insisted on using the window. They know he's here.
I took off my damp shirt that was his and put on a dry one that is also his. Man I have an obsession with my boyfriend's shirts, sue me. He smiled at me with his extremely curly hair. He was way overdue for a haircut and sat on the bed.
"Come here." I obliged to his somewhat demand and sat on the bed with him. He wasn't his usual self. He was more serious and not the playful Ethan I was used to. Yeah he was still playing around, but don't know I've known him for eleven years and I can just tell he's off.
"What's wrong Ethan?" I move to lay across his lap while he just looked off into space for a minute and all he did was just let out a big breath.
"Nothing Key." I slid over in my bed towards the wall, so he could get into the bed as well. It was silent for a while as he held me in his arms. Like we did every night when it rained really hard. I have always been scared of lighting and thunder, why I have no idea, but, ever since Ethan learned my fear of rain, he has climbed the tree that is conveniently perched right in front of my window and comforts me.
"What would you do without me Key?" I laughed at this question that broke the comfortable silence between us, only because it was so random and so unrealistic.
"I would get ignored and bullied all alone because there would only be one nerd and not two." He laughed at this and cracked a smiled a real one. The more I thought about his question the more I realized that he's been kinda distant lately.
"No, I mean what if I wasn't around anymore? Like if tomorrow I just vanished." I had to sit up for this. Even at the thought of him vanishing made my heart hurt.
"Normally in the movies when someone asks questions like that they leave, so are you leaving?" I was serious now. I know I sound clingy but I've known him since I was in kindergarten and I just couldn't imagine my life without my best friend.
He shook his head and just smiled. "No, Just curious." He said intertwining our fingers together I felt a weight get lifted off my shoulders but not completely.
"Wow, you had me going there."
"Well can you just answer the question I'm really curious." I laid back again positioning myself in his arms.
"I would die." I answered honestly.
"What?" he coughed out. He looked like he just saw his life past before his eyes Glad he got the message.
"I don't know, but it would be hard. I have only ever been apart from you three days at a time when we visit family or something and I feel pain actual pain. You are my best friend." I whispered but I didn't want to get into how depressed I would be if he vanished and I know this sounds weird but between my parents getting a divorce and him ever leaving I don't know if I could bounce back from that. I lean on him for almost everything growing up together made it easy to do it and now that we have been dating for almost two years I feel even closer to him.
"Best friends don't sleep in each other's bed half naked." I rolled my eyes.
"You know what I meant. We are best friends and this dating thing we got going on won't change that, even if we break up." I stated mater if factually.
"Break up, I would never because-" He played with my hair and rotated towards me, and we were only centimeters apart face to face with one another. He took off my wonky glasses and set them on the nightstand then he turned back to me giving me all of his attention.
"-I love You Kian and not in the way you always say it, but in a way that I want to marry you and kiss you kinda way." I laughed a little at this but also felt questions arising in the back of my mind. I stared at him blankly for a minute trying to see something in his eyes. Ethan has told me he loves me a million times but for some reason this time felt different.
"Are you sure you're not leaving me?" I asked again just to make sure that this wasn't a goodbye. Then again, he lives next door, I would know if he was moving I would have seen a U-Haul.
"No Key I'm not leaving I'm going to be in your life until the day I die because I love you."
"I love you too E-" I couldn't even finish my sentence before his lips were on mine. It felt like how It always did with Ethan. Frick butterfly's I had pterodactyls in my stomach. We couldn't stop ourselves. I guess we had both wanted this for a long time that we couldn't stop. Or fathom to think first, but my head was cloudy for the guy between my legs.
Thinking back on it who would have thought that I would lose my boyfriend and my virginity on the same night?
