A Possessive Love In the Shadows (On Hold)
•IV•
Ethan couldn't get Liam out of his head. It was infuriating, how this golden boy--this king of the school--had the audacity to corner him, to touch him, to whisper those possessive words that had left Ethan's heart racing.
He tried to shake off the memory, but Liam's smirk, his warm breath, and the electricity that sparked between them clung to Ethan like a second skin.
It didn't help that Liam seemed to be everywhere. Every corner Ethan turned, every hallway he walked down, Liam was there--always watching, always smirking, as if he knew exactly what effect he had on Ethan.
Aiden Walker (Ethan's Best friend)
Hey
Aiden's voice cut through Ethan's thoughts as they say in the cafeteria.
Aiden Walker (Ethan's Best friend)
You've been spacing out all morning...
Aiden Walker (Ethan's Best friend)
What's going on?
Ethan forced himself to focus on his best friend. Aiden's concerned brown eyes searched his face, and Ethan gave a half-hearted shrug.
Ethan Reid (The Bully)
Nothing... Just tired.
Ethan Reid (The Bully)
I guess...
Aiden Walker (Ethan's Best friend)
Are you sure?
Aiden Walker (Ethan's Best friend)
I heard something happened between you and Liam Carter this morning.
Ethan tensed. Of course, the whole school was talking about it.
Ethan Reid (The Bully)
It's nothing.
Ethan Reid (The Bully)
He's just messing around.
Aiden studied him for a moment longer, but thankfully, he let it drop.
Aiden Walker (Ethan's Best friend)
Alright, if you say so.
Aiden Walker (Ethan's Best friend)
But you know I'm here if you need to talk.
