Barely Breathing//Ethis

A/N: so I've added a song to this chapter to up the feels, start playing it when I tell you to okay cool

Chris' point of view:

I lie in bed staring at the ceiling, unable to get to sleep. There is so much going on at the moment, trying to write and record our song, the drama that occurred with James today and the stress of having to go with Ethan and my parents to the police tomorrow.

"Babe, are you awake?" I recognise Ethan's voice as he pushes open my door

"Hm" I mumble in response

"Can I lay with you?" He asks quietly, almost scared

"Of course you can," I reply, he walks over to the bed and climbs in next to me "did you have another nightmare, Bear?"

"Yes," he whispers moving that little bit closer to me "I'm really sorry, I know I've been ruining everything lately. We can't even spend a full day in the studio because of me"

"You haven't been ruining everything," I reassure him, I snake an arm around his waist gently pulling him to me "Jakob and I have organised for the both of us to go to the studio tomorrow, James is going to be there which is why you don't have to come. We are all going to organise separate days for all of us to go in so you have to work with James as little as possible." I explain to him

"Thank you so much for doing all of this just for me, because of me. I love you." He rests his head on my chest

"And I love you" I kiss his forehead

After that we both fall asleep.

"Guys get up," Jakob says barging into my room and opening the blinds, forcing us awake "Chris, we're leaving in an hour"

"No." Ethan whines burying his head further into my chest and keeping his legs tangled with mine

"5 more minutes" I reply sleepily as I rest my head on top of Ethan's, not wanting to move either.

"I just want to stay here forever" Ethan mumbles against my chest

"I know, but I have to go to the studio. We won't be that long, only a couple of hours. I have to get up" I tell him and we both untangle ourselves and he lets me stand up, with him staying in my bed.

"What should I wear?" I ask opening my wardrobe

"Wear your muscle top, you look hot in that." He replies sleepily

"I look hot in that do I?" I smirk taking out the top

"You always do" he tells me and I can tell he's smiling

I pull out my black muscle top and my ripped jeans, I turn to face him and he smirks at me before pulling the covers completely over his face.

I quickly get changed and I swear I caught him looking, however I tell him it's okay anyway.

"Are you going to get up or are you going to stay here all day?" I ask walking back over to Ethan.

"I want to stay here" he sighs rolling over to face me, keeping the blanket over his bare chest; something I've realised he does in a defensive way, almost as if he's putting his guard up.
