Ethan's POV
As soon as Mr Garvey walks out of the room after telling Gavin to pack his things and move back to B69, I take my phone and dial Michael's number, ignoring the numerous questions from Gavin and Grace.I walk to the balcony, impatiently waiting for him to pick my call. At last he answers at the last ring." Hello..", he says in a low hoarse voice." Are you alright, Michael?", I immediately ask him." Yeah..I'm...okay.", he replies." Are you nervous?", He just keeps silent. I know he is so nervous and scared right now. "Baby..it's okay..don't worry. Warden isn't calling your parents or anything. " He hums to me in reply." What happened to you earlier ? Why you suddenly started coughing ?", I ask." I- I don't know. I'm f..fine now. ", he replies." Okay...baby..please don't worry. There's no problem here, okay ? This isn't ant big deal. ", he wordlessly hums to meNate's POV After I end the call with Ethan, I put my phone on silent and look at the time before placing it in my pocket. It's 4 : 17 Pm. I think I shouldn't have attended his call now. What if he drive to the station to catch me or something ? I hope he won't. And even if he drive, he won't be able to catch me. Cause the train departs at sharp 4: 30 PM, as it's starting point is Texas. Within another three minutes, the cab pulls into the station and I quickly hop out after paying the driver. I had booked the tickets today morning itself, so I stalk inside and take the escalator to go to platform 3. My train was already there, ready for departure. I take my phone and start looking at the seating chart to find my seat. I quickly find it within three minutes and leave a sigh as I occupy my seat in the second class local coach. I look at my watch and the time is 4 : 24 PM. Just six more minutes for the train to depart.
Finally after I ring the door bell continuously for what felt like an eternity, my mom opens the front door whilst rubbing her eyes and yawning. " Mickey ! ", she exclaim wide eyed on seeing me standing in front of her. " Hey Mom..", I say lowly whilst walking inside. " What is this Mickey ? Today is Friday, right ? Why are you here instead of attending school? And why you came without telling us ? What did I tell you last time ?", Mom screams trailing behind me. " I just felt like coming. S..so I came.", I say and walk towards the stairs. My Dad then walks out of their bedroom in utter surprise. " Why don't you just call us before you head from there ?", he asks. " Just wanted to surprise.", I say and ruffle my hair as they both glare at me. "Okay, I'll talk to you guys l..later. Let me go sleep for sometime. Couldn't s..sleep properly in train.", with that I briskly walk upstairs. " There's g
Nate's POV It's when I'm anxiously waiting for the DNA test result, my Phone rings showing Ethan on caller ID. Why does he have to call now ? I talked to him just two hours ago. I reach my hands to pick the phone but soon I withdraw. No, I'm not answering the call. I'm at the peek of my anxiety right now and If I pick the call, I'm sure I'll spill everything to him. So I let the phone ring there on the table and turn back to my laptop screen. I look at the time and it's 5:13 PM. They actually told, they will mail the results by 5 PM. But it hasn't arrived yet. I'm internally freaking out. I feel like my heart is about to explode. Suddenly a new mail pop up making my heart thud vigorously. And it's the mail from the lab itself. I feel my fingers tremble as I'm about to click on the mail. I close my eyes tight and click on it. ' God, please just don't make me and Ethan brothers. If possible, make me my Dad and Mom
Nate's POV I feel great relief as I lie on my bed after the dinner. I didn't think coming out was this simple and my parents would take it so normally. Even my sister took it as a great deal. But Dad and Mom acted so cool. I believe they won't ask me to break up with Ethan when they finally see him and figure out he is their Son. But for now, I'm not showing them his pics or anything. And I decided I don't want to know what exactly happened at the hospital and why they didn't give me back to my real parents. I'm just going to pretend like nothing happened and I don't know anything. Let them think, I believe I'm their son. I can't help but smile as I lie looking at the ceiling. I sure am Ethan's Mom's Son. So I now have two Moms. And I've a little sister. Woah ! But my Dad is sadly an ass. Okay, I don't even want to see him. But I really want to see my Mom and sister and spend time with them. I should have actual
Ethan's POVMichael's lips bunch into a beautiful smile as he finally sees me. For a while, his baby blue eyes had been searching for me among the crowd gathered here in the airport waiting lounge and I've been waving and jumping to get his attention. For the last ten minutes, I had been standing here, impatiently waiting for him to come through the doors. The plane had landed fifteen minutes ago so I didn't think he would be that much longer. I actually arrived here an hour ago and I had been playing angry birds on my phone until I heard the flight announcement. His flight wasn't late or anything but I just came earlier,unable to control my excitement to see him. I missed him so fucking much. I don't know how I made this three days pass without seeing him and feeling the softness of his lips. And I'm in great confusion and anxiety right now. Michael is acting quite strange. When he headed home on Thursday evening with
Ethan's POV I wake up to Michael's alarm going wild at 5: 30 Am, along with him squirming his face uncomfortably on my chest. I reach my hands and turn off the alarm. He instantly stops squirming and hugs me a little bit tighter. Yesterday it was almost 10 Pm when we arrived back at dorm. We spent more than an hour inside my car in the Airport's parking lot. Michael almost fell asleep on my shoulder. I too didn't want to separate his warm body from me. I sat there, running my hands through his hair, feeling utterly peaceful, listening to our synchronized heartbeats. His sweet scent of vanilla drifted into my nostrils, making me leave kisses on his soft cotton candy hair. He would occasionally let out a pleased moan, encouraging me to continue massaging his scalp. It had past 8 when we finally started from airport. We then drove to a restaurant nearby and had a peaceful dinner together. Our first dinner after we started officially dating. When we w
Nate's POV " The best player award of the match goes to.......GAVIN WEST." Mr Jenkins, the chief guest to the basketball match and a former coach of our school, announce cheerfully through the Microphone. The stadium which was already filled with claps and cheers from the stands erupt into further more loud claps for Gavin. I can't help but smile and clap my hands as loudly as possible. Ethan is beside me clapping and whistling and loudly yelling Gavin's name. I tilt my head to look at Grace and she has a wide smile on her lips as she claps her hands, looking at Gavin getting hugged by his teammates. I knew it ! I knew Gavin will be the best player of the match. He scored 23 points out of the total 107 points our school scored in the match against Dillon high in which we won on just 4 points. A good lot of people from various schools had come to see the match and we barely got seats, even though we arrived
Ethan's POV My phone rings lying beside me as I sit on the side bench, sipping on my water bottle after practice. I pick the phone thinking it's Michael but it's actually my Mom calling. " Hello Mom.", I say answering the call. " Hello Ethan. Your practice is over ?", she asks. " Yeah..I was about to go have breakfast. Why did you call now ?", I ask. " Okay, I know you weren't planning to come home this weekend but sadly you have to come home today. ", She says. " Oh....okay..something came up ?", I ask, feeling sad. Now what will I tell Michael ? " Yeah..I need to go to Tennessee for a case. I'll be heading today afternoon. I'll return only tomorrow evening.", she says. " Okay, I'll be there by 6 : 30. When are you leaving ?", I ask. " I'll be heading by 3. Mrs Berth will pick Eve from school. And she will be there with her until you come. ", she replies. " Okay M
