The Perfect Moment
Sarah is on vacation with her family and Ethan's parents took his little sister skating. They offered me and Ethan, but I didn't want to go and Ethan had plans with Benny later. Me and Ethan had like three hours alone.
He wanted to watch a movie, so I pick what is said to be the scariest movie of all time. Neither of us have seen it yet. The movie isn't scary, but I pretend to be scared and even fake a scream.
"You're a vampire you could kill all these guys without trying and you're scared?" Ethan made fun of me. I turned around looked to look at him.
"Maybe I just wanted an excuse so you'd 'protect' me" I said with a flirty look. He looked at me weird. I turned around and he put his arms around me. It made my heart jump. I faked another scream and smiled at him, so he held me tighter.
Next ting I knew Benny came running in with a tanning bed light and a wooden steak. Both me and Ethan looked up, but he never let go of me. I don't know why but that made me happy.
"Oh, a scary movie, gotcha." Benny winked and walked out. I couldn't help but to bust out in laughter.
"Ok, so a scary movie wasn't the best idea. I'll switch it." Ethan said. He got up ruining our moment. I was no longer in his arms when he sat down. He changed it to a romantic comedy. He sat down on the couch and let out sigh. I don't know what that was about. I got up because I was hungry. I drank some of the blood substitute Benny's grandma made me. When I sat down I sat as far away from Ethan as possible to see if he would care. He noticed instantly, but didn't say anything. He laid back, I did to, almost onto his shoulder. I moved to make it look like I was getting comfy, but it was to put my head on his chest. I cant help but to look up and see a huge grin on his face. He slowly tried to put his arm around my waist unsure of how id react. I let curiosity ruin everything for me.
"Am I the reason everything has changed between you and Sarah?" I asked. I could tell that made it awkward for him. He made a big sigh and took his arm off of my waist. I got off of him and sat there looking at him for an answer.
"Kind of, but it's ok. You stopped me from going after something I'll never have." he said. You could tell that upset him. That he thought he could never have her.
"You care about her to much to give up so easily. She likes you. Its just hard for her to admit it. I don't want to ruin what you guys could have. Just tell her how you feel and if you don't, I'll do it for you. You got to take chances and make mistakes." I told him.
He didn't say anything just kind of looked off in space. I don't know why I'd ruin everything like that but I did.
"I'm gonna go home wash clothes and stuff. I'll see you later. Remember, you cant know if it's the wrong choice if you don't try." I said and walked to the door. I accidentally bumped into Benny on my way out with tears in my eyes. I ran home after that.
