I hope you don't get confused in this chapter, but it will start out with a bunch of flashbacks from Ethan's past. It will also be in his POV. I just thought that I would need to add these flashbacks because they show you how Ethan is connected with a bunch of people in the Fanfiction. Enjoy!
(Brief flashback of Ethan's birth)
Silence.
"Why isn't he crying?" Lester cried.
Silence. Crying.
"The other doctors don't know what could have happened. It might be a miscarriage."
Silence. Crying. Horror.
"Lester, what are we going to do? Our baby is dead." Penny whispered.
Silence. Crying. Horror. Whispers.
"We are taking him away now, Mr. and Mrs. Dawson."
Silence.
(A few hours later.)
Breathing.
"What?! He's alive!" Doctors frantically ran around the room. One of them got the phone and called Penny. "Mrs. Dawson, your baby is alive. Do you want to come and pick it up?" Penny immediately started crying tears of joy. Then sadness… "I can't pick him up."
"What?! Why not?!"
"I can't tell him about this. He'll hate me. I don't think I can live with that."
"Oh. I understand. Would you like to put him in an orphanage?"
"Yes. But can you let me know how he is doing every now and then?"
"Yes, indeed. We will keep an eye on him and report to you."
Next Flashback. Ethan's POV
"Ethan, I need you to clean Katie's room."
"Again? Why? Meredith, you always bully me. Joseph said that he would rather cheat on a girl than stay with you for the rest of his life!" (Hint hint!)
"It is my job. I OWN you."
I've always been the smallest in the whole orphanage. Most of the others are like 5 years older than me. Other than those, there is only one other person in the orphanage. That's Meredith. She owns the orphanage and she is always being mean to the other kids. Upstairs, I share a room with three other kids. Katie, Heather, and Joseph. (SUPER HINT!) Katie is usually quiet, Joseph talks about football, and Heather always talks about these two boys from school. She says that there is one that she likes, named Austin Moon, and there was also an annoying kid named Tysin, who was always trying to kiss her.
I've been telling them about my plans to run away when I turn 9, but they always said that I wouldn't make it on my own. I know they were trying to be nice, but I would rather live anywhere than the orphanage I live in now.
Next flashback.
"Good riddance to that wimp." Meredith had said when she realized I was gone. I must admit, being alone and fending for myself is much easier than I thought. As of now, I am never looking back. Now, I need a way for me to pass along as a normal citizen. That's it! I have the perfect idea!
Next flashback.
"Um, hello? Is this Ethan?"
"Yes, I am here."
"Hi. I was just wondering if you had the time to train my client. His name is Austin Moon."
Austin Moon. Wow, it really is a small world. Boy, I haven't heard that name in a while. I wonder how he's doing. I've heard he's become famous. Wow. Now that I think about, how has Heather been…
"Um, yes. I do believe I have the time to teach him. Meet me in Times Square tonight."
"Thank you. I am going there now."
(Now, I think you know the rest of the story."
Present Day. Nobody's POV.
"Mom?! What are you doing here? How did you know I was here?"
"Ally?! Honey, what are YOU doing here?"
"Um…well… answer my question first! Ethan is my brother?!"
"Uh, well…Yes. Yes, he is. I was going to tell you, but…"
"But what?! Did you think I would hate you or something?!"
"Um, yes. I did."
"Why would you think that? You could have told me that I had a long lost younger brother!" Ally was well over her shock by now. She just wanted to know what was going on.
Lol, cliff hanger! BTW just so you know, the flashbacks are separated by many years. I just wanted you to know about how Ethan really DOES fit in to the whole story. I wanted you to know that I didn't just make him up as a random character because I needed a better story. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! R&R!
