'A day out with him was everything it needed'
****
Dylan's POV
"Please not now, let the right time cone." I insisted Noah.
He sighed rolling his eyes frustratingly as this was not the first time I was stopping him from telling his sister.
"But why Dylan? Don't you think your best friend deserves to know that her brother is dating her childhood buddy?" He questioned me where I can only look below at my fingers.
Yes, we are childhood friends. And as a matter of fact, I know her better than anyone in this world. Not Noah himself knows Ava better than me. She is his sister but I know how and what Ava would react if she would get to know that her brother and best friend were gay!
"Uh, obviously I want her to know. Do you think I am liking this! No, I am not. I want her to know that we are in a relationship, but
No one's POV"Ethan!" Ava blinked her eyes, she carefully scanned his stance resting on her bed as he winked an eye and raised his brows.His arms were under his head above the pillow, a leg crossed over the other and the rain shield on the other side dumped carelessly on her bed. It rained in the morning when Ava left the house with her brother. It must be the same time when Ethan found a chance and sneaked inside her room.And stupid her! She did not even lock the window before leaving the room. She will have to be careful from now on.Her body froze and the bag dropped on the floor after she loosened the grip around it. That is because Ava consumed her entire energy in reading his facial expressions. She still could not trust her retina. This had to be her freaking hallucination since she had been wondering about him ever since she rose from her slumber.Ethan, o
The morning hushed in with the welcoming noise of light raining. Noah opened his and stretched his arms. He smiled looking at the face of his boyfriend Dylan, sleeping beside him as he got up.Last night was amazing. It was the best night of their lives. They enjoyed every bit of the moment together and had good sleep together. They reminisced some childhood memories and joked on each other's appearance as a kid."Dylan, wake up!" Noah slid out of the bed looking at the watch.It was past the afternoon. They actually went to bed somewhere around 3.00 in the early morning! They have been so crazily snoring that they could not keep a track of time. Ava must be waiting for Noah's arrival. Ever since yesterday morning, they never talked."Dylan!" Noah sternly addressed his name, Dylan was not ready to get up.He needed to go. And before leaving, he wanted
Noah watched his sister enjoy the cartoon. She was still a baby for him, she proved that she indeed was. He leaned toward her and placed his chin on her shoulder, "What?" She raised a brow narrowing her eyes."How was it with Ethan, last night?" Her question caused her to stare back at him with a stern face.He was a shameless guy for a brother. Who asks his sister that question?"Huh, are you kidding me, Noah!" Ava asked, moving away from him."No I am not! I am curious, Ava. That guy really loves you, I hope you did not misbehave with him." His amusing words left her chuckle sardonically with a tinge of blush appearing on her face.From the expression on her face, it was visible it was an amazing night. Oh no, they did not do anything 'ahem' kind of stuff! The two of them had a good night talking about each other's favor
Noah's POV"I would straight come to the point, why have you been lingering around my house?" We were sitting in the hall, face to face.Despite being mysterious with his actions, Bill offered me some coffee and cookies against my refusal. I was baffled and thrilled by his behaviour. He was acting so nicely like he really respected me but my heart can sense something was wrong.I kept aside the coffee mug, untouched. I am grateful for his treatment but I don't trust him. Who knows if he mixed something in the coffee! Something like sleeping pills or any other drugs. I just can't take the risk of consuming anything offered by him. Not after I know his intentions do not seem positive at all."Why so hurry, brother? Have some cookies first." He ignored the seriousness playing in every word I stated, and passed the plate of cookies toward me.He was cool.
Noah’s POVI marched towards the door without looking back. There was a reason why I rushed to bring ava and Ethan together, and it was this guy. He is crazy. I don't mean to call him that, but that is what he is. A crazy head who finds pleasure in others' pain. I have seen him hurting kids playing on the streets, messing with the stray dogs and what not. He finds happiness in others' pain; so when I noticed he is attracted to my sister I immediately decided to put Ava and Ethan together. I assumed after watching his friend date my sister, he would back away but no, he still continues to stalk her!Anyway, I was near the door just a two or more steps away when, "Aaahhh!" I felt something strike my head from the back.My legs turned weak yet I managed to rotate around. And what I saw drained all my energy, and I slipped on the ground, "You! Ahh.. Aaghhh.." Bill hit me with an iron sculpture
31Time had begun to dissolve into itself, as shapeless as the rain. It was slipping from within Ava’s clutch yet there was no sign of Noah’s recovery. Her dizzy dark orbs watched her brother stay in the bed, unconscious.Evening has crawled, the chirping of birds was dying bit by bit as they have prepared themselves to return back to their nests. Sun had started to sink over the horizon as orange shade coloured the sky alas, it was worthless to admire nature because their minds were occupied by Noah’s deteriorating condition.The doctor has said that he might be awake within an hour or two nevertheless he had not gotten up at all. The evening has arrived to alas, poor Noah never opened eyes.“ava, go and freshen yourself. Your mother and I will take care of him.” Mr. Jones interrupted the silence.Ava and Mrs. Jones never l
Ethan's POV"Noah! What the fuck happened to him?" Dylan surged inside Noah's room, stumbling and tripping.His eyes held concern and somewhat like tears that appeared before his gaze. He walked further near the bed in order to throw a gaze on his friend and gasped."He tripped and fell." Mr. Jones replied what Bill had told all of us about the accident."Where and how?" But Dylan was not completely convinced with it. He anyways shot another question at Mr. Jones while sitting next to Noah's pillow and checking his bandage.There was utter silence in the room as Mr. Jones struggled to explain Dylan as to what happened to Noah. Although he was Ava's best friend but Noah happened to be the closer one to him. The two guys mingled well because they were a couple, and no one from the Jones family knows that.They avoided to see his worr
Ethan's POV"Really!" Mr. Jones and I rose from the couch and followed Ava who was in no condition to wait for us and give more explanation.Her movements were urgent and curious. When we entered the room, there was a different environment within. Pure silence, quiet atmosphere and total discomfort as Noah laid on bed with partially opened eyes, blinking weakly.He had Mr. Jones sitting by his side and Dylan on the other. His looks made me tighten my cheeks and stare at the impatience he entertained in the depth of his eyes.For others, it would be mere concern but only I knew what it was. His shivering lips and concerned gaze depicted his deep and irrevocable love toward Noah. Yep, I was the only one in the city who basically knew about their secret of being in a relationship. They don't have to tell me, I noticed it myself. I have seen them smile mysteriously towar
A few months later, The entire school building was decorated with a Pride theme. There were long strings of rainbow flags tied from one end of the two walls to another in each corridor. Students giggled and shot pictures under a tree that was yet again decorated with colours reflecting pride celebration. Their t-shirts had unicorns or rainbows while a circular batch on their chest glowed, that read, 'I support LGBT' The floor had glitters. There were rainbow balloons stuck on the wall. Girls wore rainbow tiaras and tassel garlands while the boys had rainbow wigs put on. There was no wall within the school building that didn't have pride hashtags. Various tags were scribbled on colourful chart papers and stuck out there. From #supportlgbt #lovefindsitsway #pride #iamproudofmyself and many more. Some creative souls have used VIBGYOR colours on their hashta
"Doctor," Standing in a corner meekly, Ava watched her dad stop the doctor as he came out of the OT. His eyebrows widened and a sigh escaped. From his expressions, she knew the news was not good. But still she hopefully compressed her palm on the chest, wishing to hear the words everyone desired. "We are trying our best." he said, his hand squeezing Mr. Jones' shoulder before he excused himself and left. Once again the corridor of the hospital bathed in silence as everyone stood scattered here and there with a fallen and pale face. After Ethan arrived in time at the clock tower, he dealt with Bill and rushed both Dylan and Noah to hospital. They had passed out. Worst... Dylan was not breathing given that he was already injured and the fight did more harm to his body. And Noah, he bled profusely that his
"D-dylan?" Ava’s heart sunk into calmness. Her eyes stormed with tears. She sniffed feeling her lungs refuse oxygen. The hair on her skin erected as the disheveled stature of her best friend came to view."How dare you bitch get my girl. I told you to stay away from her, didn't I?" Dylan roared on top of his lungs as he plunged a punch on Bill's right cheek.His blow threw him to the ground, his face down. "You coerced us to do shitty stuff, scared us with our relationship secrets and what not... Yet after doing so much you are here with her. How dare you." He was a mess of blood, smell of sweat and anger.His eyes were not two normal human eyes. They had transformed into dark ember balls that depicted small versions of fire ball. They glared down at Bill as he lashed him with blows and kicks.Ava could not take her eyes away. He finally came. Her best friend. They were
A veil of darkness clutched her vision unseen. Ava could see nothing. Her limbs hurt and head spun. Though there was that veil before her eyes still she can sense unusual happenings taking place around her.She can hear it. A sound of metal striking on something. It was intense and loud. Not ears deafening but a noise that brought a wave of terror along with it and crashed against the wall of her heart, shuddering her.And then there was that voice. Slow and quiet. Heavy with piss and husky with grunt. She also heard loud breathing beside it which indicated labour. Whoever it was, was working hard. Striking hard and breathing hard.Alas her body won’t support her thoughts. She had an important urge to see this person as well as the task he had undertaken and why. Unfortunately, the cover of her lids won’t elevate and let her see a thing.Not until she heard the voice clear a
Ethan’s face turned the colour of dead. It was pale, lips parted and breaths stuck in his windpipe, “You are joking, aren’t you? I have known Bill since childhood and I disagree with what you just claimed.” The friendship in his heart toward Bill did not convince him to accept their accusation.They just said that Bill, his innocent friend, coerced them to do things as he threatened them. Like shit, Bill could do anything but force someone.He was shy. He never opened his mouth to fight back people who tried to trouble him when alone. Although he was a friend to a jerk like Ethan, he remained non violent to people who picked on him with the intention to avenge Ethan for bullying them. When he could not protect himself from others' trouble, there was no chance that he would be trouble to anyone.About bothering them using their relationship status as a bait was
Ethan's POV"No, Sally. I said no.""But why? I see you eagerly need a lay. Then why not?""Because I am not interested in you." Slightly pushing Sally, one of my classmates behind, I got up from the counter at the club and walked away."Fuck you, jerk!" I let her words unheeded and joined my other friends in a booth.They were having fun. Playing a random stupid game, they cried in happiness and laughed like crazy. But here, I slumped as a disinterested mess of feelings and bad mood as the music hurt my ears.I miss Ava. If we had not had that fight and that stupid break up, I had been with her. We would have been probably enjoying a night ride while she hugged me from the back and laughed near my ear.It has been a month and we didn't talk except for certain events when it became important to face each other. Only for argu
Ava's POVYet another few hours rolled by with me shedding my tears of pain. The dilemma won't let me breathe peacefully. My heart felt heavy. As if it was weighed with the burden of something I was to be accused.While the sky darkened pitch black, stars twinkled quite aggressively. But here, in the room, I felt suffocated. My lungs won't swell properly, I could not breath deeply.This room was making my breathing hard which is why, I immediately pulled out a jacket and threw it around my back, and came out of my room.My legs halted at the door, the conversation I had with Noah now bothered me. It led me to look at the door of his room, it was closed. I wished to go inside and hug him, but my body would not follow it.I had mixed feelings. Sympathy and anger combined. I wanted my brother back as my best brother. I wanted the both of us to be best sib
Ava retired home after lectures. She had expected at least Dylan to follow her post that event but he didn't. Rather, he and Ethan enjoyed pizza in canteen while she sat alone munching on an apple.She missed all the fun she used to have with Ethan and other. But they were not missing her. They seemed to savour their lives without her.Had she really meant nothing to them?As tears formed again, Ava got inside her room and threw the bag on floor. She was about to jump on bed and cry to herself when she heard noises coming from Noah's room.She was skeptical and didn't want to see him yet her legs dragged her there. And to her dismay, Noah was sitting on floor with a bleeding heel. As she could see it, he had mistakenly stepped on broken pieces of glass that were scattered around on floor."Ughh, this hurts!" she clenched her fingers watching
"Miss. Jones, mind telling us about where you are lost? We would love to bring you back to earth so you pay attention in the class." Ava was looking out of the window during the class, when the teacher saw her."Umm, Sorry ma'am." She looked down in her book while the teacher rolled her eyes before resuming her teaching.Ava clutched her teeth tight and raised her head to focus. Her gaze eventually crossed the room and met with the dark pair of eyes that had been staring at her through out.Ethan.He was sitting with Dylan. The two guys were looking at her. Ethan with emotionless eyes while Dylan with sympathy.Ava ignored them both and concentrated on the diagram that teacher was explaining.'I hate them both. They are liars and cheaters.' She played with her pen, still being able to feel Ethan'
