Ethan's POV
She smiled at me, wow that smile was mesmerising. A smile that was unforgettable, I never wanted it to go away. If there was a spell make her to smile forever, I would cast it on her in an heartbeat. What was this feeling? Happiness? Nah. I haven't felt that in years. And I will never feel it, no one loved me and I knew it. I wasn't stupid or naive. Was I going to let it ruin this moment with Sophia? Never. Just sitting here with her was enough. But it wouldn't last, nothing lasted.
"Ethan, why did you run?" Sophia sighed, "I had it under control you had no reason to run."
Why Soph? It wasn't that I didn't want to tell her, the thing is I don't know the answer. Some many unanswered questions; so little answers. I looked at her, it was almost if she wasn't asking me the question her heart was. Not even realising it, she had just given me all her secrets just with one look. How was that even possible? I didn't even know anything anymore, man this girl was doing me head in just by looking at me. Questions and thoughts were running through my head. Unanswered questions and unthinkable thoughts. She kept looking at me with her big brown eyes. Fuck. Those eyes they were going to be the death of me. I knew it...
"Well? Are you going to answer me or just stare at me all day?" She was getting impatient, Damn, way to put me on the spot Soph.
"I don't know Sophia, I was scared all my life all I've done is run, my dad and mum had the ultimate fantasy," I explained, she didn't have a facial expression like she was really listening, "When my dad almost lost my mum it killed him, I don't want that for me or the future love of my life. I'm scared of life scared of love. It's stupid I know."
"Not really, it's reality a lot of people don't want to live in it." She replied with a soft voice.
I nodded and we sat there for what seemed like forever and ever. I finally felt at peace in this school but every now and then a war comes raging to destroy a peaceful village. Sophia was now my village, my home. And I would everything in my power to protect it.
