17.stay

Silence is all what I can makeout,my Heartbeats clear in my ears.my mind nowhere near to sleep.i shuffle around on the bed for some more minutes before opening my eyes.

"Ahh!! I can't sleep"

I pluck out my phone from the near table going through feeds....

15 mins passed! Nothing intresting! never knew social media could be this boring.

I lay back tired!

"Just ask us anything if u need, Ethan's room's just beside you" Ethan's aunts words ring in my ears

I turn my head to the side to see the wall connecting our room.

I take my phone to see the time showing 12:48 am

' would he be sleeping?' I wonder,I sit up.tapping my fingers thinking.

I make up my mind and get out of my room and stand in front of his door.i am able to hear shuffling, clattering sounds as if he is working on some computer or stuff!

Good thing he's not asleep,bad thing.. would I bother him if I go in?

I gently, knock on his door... twice

"The doors open"he says from inside

I peek inside,his room shouts 'eboy' I look around his room

Many albums of Justin Bieber and other artist's hung on his wall, there are instruments like guitar and small piano,some paintings and sketches on his table,shoes beside his bed,his bed well made and him busy on the computer with his headphones on

'aunty I told you I'll go to sleep as soon as I'm do- oh! Adley! Didn't expect you here"

"Hey! hope I'm not bothering you"

He eyes me up and down,then to my face...

Oh! Yea I'm in the night gown

"Um nope! Wanna come in?"

"Sure!"I make my way in as the Vanilla scent of him welcomes me.refreshing !

"I see yours all cosy with my aunt now?" He says talking about the dress.

"Yeah! She insisted on wearing it"

He nods and gets back to his work as I sit on his bed beside his computer.

"Couldn't sleep?"

"Yeah!"....I look around his room,there are some boxing gloves on his table too . gotta say he is a all rounder .

He seems busy with the computer.

"I Thought George slept with you.."

"No! He sleeps with his momma! He is a big cry baby so let him be"

"You guys are cute!"I grimace,he shrugs as he says

"ive been with George ever since he was born, he's grew attached to me!and vice-versa...but yea! He is very clingy! Be aware"

I chuckle at his statement.

He gets back to his computer

"project Work?" I ask

"No!music, trying to finish it today! Wanna hear it?"

"Please"I get up he puts the head phones on me

(Refer above for the music)

I listen to the melody as my earbuds are dancing,he is just fantastic,....

Just like some good dose you'd need for a day.i close my eys lost in the music when I feel him taking the headphones back!

"So?"

"Oh my god! Your really gOOOood"

"You think so? thanks!"

"You take classes or smth! Coz The music just got through me" I say making a dramatic expression

he giggles repeating my statement.mocking me

"No! I just learnt things online!"

"Hmmm" I say as he removes his headphones telling me how the notes are produced and tunes are made...I keep nodding listening to his voice,

I wonder why would a cheerful and creative person would think of committing suicide,he has everything one could ask for.,or is it just my mind making things up,...

Seeing his face telling me about music with my concentration 0%

I lay on his bed with propping my head in my hand nodding to him feeling drowsy,soon my eyes began to give up as im lost in my slumber

Ethan's pov

I keep telling her how I like other artists work and about there music and stuff are so awsm ,when I notice the person beside me is sleeping,I laugh as I see her eyes closed,her hand falling loose , her head falls off her arms balance, as she lays in my bed sleeping with mouth agape.

"Couldn't sleep?huh!guess my music lecture helped you sleep"

I see my table clock showing 1:23am

I decide I should get to bed too,then see her peaceful body on my bed!

I put the sheets on top of her as it was cold.and take pillows from beside her and head outside sleep in the guest room.....I feel something holding my shirt from behind,... adley?

I turn around to find her still in her dreamland and find my shirt stuck to the table drawer.....oh!😅

I face palm myself at my silliness!she stirs in her sleep ,I adjust her properly on the bed so she won't fall off.and leave the place, thats when I feel a soft hand wrapping its fingers around my wrist making me halt in my steps.

I face her to see her drowsy self staring at me with light eyes.

"Stay!....."she says

......I stare at blankly, the gown she is wearing making most of her skin visible to my eyes.making me gulp."i-"

"Please"

I drop the pillow beside her before shuffling towards my bed dropping myself beside her,I stare at the ceiling as she turns to my side eyeing me every Inch.

I turn to her to catch her stare but she doens't budge still staring at me intently.

"Why are you with me?" The question slips down my lips without my consent

She still stares at me with droopy eye as her lips from a tight smile

"When I look in your eyes...i- I don't know I feel safe...maybe that's why!"

Those words make my mouth stretch into a big smile as I remove the strands of her hair from her face she closes her eyes at my touch, moving closer to my touch.

Why does this feels so warm,just like something I've been wanting.

Her scent,smile,the way she talks ,the way her dark brown eyes bores into me when she sees me,her warm hand shakes..... everything makes me go crazy..,is it just harmones?..coz I never felt that before

When ever she crosses my mind I feel my heart,.its beating faster...just like now.

I see her plump pink lips agape,she is just few inches apart from me..

But again I'm afraid of letting my emotions get the best of me....coz I'm Scared of loosing people... again.just like 'her'.i can't!

I turn around so that my back is facing her,when I hear a sniff as she questions

"Why do you push yourself away from me ethan?"

The question rings in my mind like a alarm,the answer to that question makes my heart shatter,thats when I know it's been too late to get away from her.

I lay there still....not answering her question.

As she takes that I'm asleep and turns to her part.

I'm sorry! I can't! Coz I wanna be the breeze that takes away all your tears not the one that itches you and makes you cry.
