When I met you.. ||(completed)||

Chapter 7

I looked at Ethan confused, what was he saying?

The same moment I tried to speak I felt a piercing headache and slowly started falling down.

Ethan caught me before I could make contact with the ground and I found myself buried in his chest. 

"Why do you always say and do things that confuse me? And why can't I keep my emotions in check when you're around?" I grumbled, massaging the sides of my head to ease the pain but my vision started to darken and before I could realize what was happening I felt myself falling asleep.

Slowly, I opened my eyes and started taking my surroundings in.

Suddenly I stood up, am I late? What happened? Was I all just a dream??

And as if Ethan read my thoughts he opened his mouth to explain.

"Class starts in 10 minutes, we should probably get going"

I just looked at him, I don't understand. Why did he say welcome back? Why did he call me Jay-bear? Why is that nickname so familiar to me? A million questions coursed through my head but all I did was get up and walk to class with Ethan beside me.

Something I did when I was confused was stay quiet, I don't usually ask much questions as I don't like to prey on other people's privacy.
For some reason, I felt content and.... happy? Why? I don't know.

The confusion I felt before was replaced by happiness, it's like finding your favorite shirt neatly kept away after not knowing where it was for the past months.

This sense of familiarity hit me like a ton of bricks and a smile slowly made is way on my face. 

Breaking out of my thoughts, I noticed a lot of people's stare on us while Ethan didn't pay any attention to them, his eyes locked on my face.

Everyone was shocked to what was happening, but I didn't mind the attention this time for some reason. 

Named Ethan.

What am I saying? Of course it's just because I'm used to it after years of being on the spotlight!

We walked into class and when I tell you Bethany had to pick up her jaw from the floor I mean it.

"Is this the end of the world? Are pigs flying? Am I going to die soon because this is the first time Ethan is early to class, the first time he shows any kind of interest in a girl without his parents forcing him to do so and the first time he smiled, not smirked, since he was seven"

I didn't say anything as I was holding back laughter, but I failed, and failed miserably.

A couple of tears ran down my cheeks, her comment was really funny and in all honesty I'm the kind of person who laughs at everything.

"Very funny Beth you know the only reason I put up with you is because your parents are friends with mine or else I wouldn't deal with your shitty personality everyday" Ethan retorted, rolling his eyes.

"Language!" I yelled at Ethan and all he did was give me a questioning 'are you freaking serious' look.

Bethany started laughing like crazy struggling catch her breath.

"She pulled such a Captain America on you there Ethan" she whispered, wiping the tears from her eyes.

By the end of that exchange, Beth was wheezing.

Quite literally.

"Listen, we are officially best friends cause I absolutely freaking love you" she said, I felt myself blush a little. 

Upon seeing that, Ethan's eyes widened in shock and realization, his mouth slightly open.

"Jay-bear you're straight, right?!" he asked, his face showing dread.

What's with this guy and the cringey nickname? A part of me loved it but then again, the actual sane part of me didn't.

"I am...?" I replied, a little confused as he sighed in relief. 

"Thank god I still have a chance" he said, awkwardly laughing.

I just stood there and did nothing. This is the fourth or fifth time he left me with a head full of questions. I'm pretty sure he has a couple of screws loose up there cause nobody changes their mind about someone overnight.

"Jay-bear? Seriously? Didn't take you for the cringey kind" she teased, laughing.

I blushed intensely and tried to explain it was the nickname Ethan started calling me since this morning for some reason.

"On different occasions it's princess and on special occasions it's princess Jay-bear" he said, not helping the situation at all.

I blushed furiously and all Beth did was laugh at him and try to tease me.

Thank God there wasn't anyone in class but Brandon and Corey (who kept unusually quiet) and the three of us.

"You guys are twins right?" I said looking at Brandon and Corey in an attempt to change the subject.

Everyone in the room was shocked and all of their eyes were on me, a heavy silence filling the air.

"Where did you get that silly idea from?" Beth awkwardly asked, fiddling with her hands.

I didn't even look at her as I was staring at Brandon and Corey who had scared and confused looks on their faces.

Ethan kept quiet this whole time, when I tried to open my mouth to speak again but he cut me off.

"Jane stop, you don't even know what you're talking about" he said, his tone cold and accusing.

My heart stung a little, his glare spoke a million and him saying my name made it feel like he just put a thousand mile distance between us.

"So I'm right?" I whispered, looking away.

"You really didn't need to prove it, you know? I mean, I knew it the moment I layed my eyes on them. They have similar bone structures on their faces, they are built similarly and both have different colored eyes. Don't try to hide it with contacts. People can notice the change in one of your pupils while the other one stays the same, I mean, at least I can. They also have the same smirk, similar personalities and reactions given the way they acted when I said you kissed my forehead, when we were playing basketball and when I won. They mirror each other's movements without even noticing" I continued, feeling my heart squeeze tightly remembering the coldness of their gaze.

Maybe they thought I was weird, maybe they didn't look similar to other people, maybe they didn't expect me to find out.

Once I finished talking, I looked at Ethan and remembered the way he said my name. Full of anger, annoyance and even hatred, different from the anger and annoyance he showed when I took his seat and to be honest, it hurt.

A lot.

I pushed past him and sat on my seat, got out my books and that was when the bell indicated the start of class. The room flooded with students, and the teacher arrived shortly after.

---------------------------------------------------------
Shocking I know! I actually planned for Brandon and Corey to be twins since the beginning but only added the different colored eyes part as I was writing.
Just as things were going so well between the two, it had to turn out this way....
But don't forget that this story has a happy ending!
This chapter is really long and I didn't notice until I looked down and I found over one thousand and one hundred words!
If there are any grammar or spelling mistakes please tell me in the comments so I can correct them!

Edit: I'm rereading the chapters and correcting how shitty this story is and oh my god I feel so fucking annoying like seriously what the hell was I thinking when I was writing this. I give up.
