I don't know why isn't he answering. I gained trust in him and probably liking too, but I should've known better, I hate this. I hate that I'm having second thoughts only over things like this.
Time passes in thinking, and I'm so tired but I can't sleep. It's almost 02.30 am. My head hurts because I really need sleep, but my mind isn't letting me to fall asleep.
I keep refreshing and checking every social media I have, so I can see if Ethan is at least online. I prayed to God that he's only annoyed with me and that nothing is happening to him right now.
I wanted to give up, but then a snap appears. It was Ethan's story and I immediately click on it.

It was him in the maroon red hoodie, a mirror selfie. He was still awake but he didn't look happy, not even annoyed, sad or mad. He was serious. It bugged me that I couldn't read his face expression.
I recognize their bathroom, meaning he's home and I thank God for this.
I feel the need to go there. Me being me, I would give up on someone until now. If it was Nina i would just wait until the morning; but I couldn't do that this time, I couldn't give up on him.
Feeling an unfamiliar feeling - being worried, mad, anxious and sad at the same time - I grab my hoodie and a pair of sweatpants. I turn on the light and I pull out a pain killer for my headache out of the drawer.
I was wearing flip flops, not being able to take anything else because my mom would notice me going somewhere.
I open my window before double questioning this decision, knowing I'll regret going but later I could regret not going. I try to reach the tree that was close to my window and I finally catch a branch and I start carefully going down.
Flip flops were very uncomfortable and I didn't feel good in them. I decide to jump and my foot twists because of these fucking flip flops.
I curse and continue anyway, not being able to walk properly. I just hope it isn't bleeding, but I couldn't see it because it was too dark and I didn't even care.
Despite the pain in my foot and the dark that i was so afraid, I focused on finding Ethan.
All of the scary thoughts about monsters and immortal creatures were replaced by the ones that made me worry about Ethan. I had no idea what's going on, I've never been like this. Ethan was so special and I had a strong feeling that he wasn't fine. I would do this again even if he was fine, I just really had to check. I didn't regret any of this.
Step by step, I was aware that I'm coming closer to Ethan's house. My foot started hurting more and more, and that's what brought me back to the reality.
I was wincing and trying to find the best position for my foot, and I was also very afraid now.
I felt happy and revealed when I saw their house in front of me.
'Just a bit more' I started repeating over and over again.
As I was about to step in their front yard, I see a man with a hood over his head.
My fear got worse and pain in my foot killed me, I wasn't sure what to do or who was that.
