Chapter 2 Ethan Forced
...A
dark chapter... Ethan sat in the arm chair and looked relaxed and
unfazed by the police taking him home. As Ethan was very mature for his
age, and with James' plumbing business taking off we spent time
together but we were a busy unit. Ethan was good at school, so we had
no need to play the heavy handed guardians. It was unexpected, and I
think I just imagined it was some stupid prank and he got caught out! I
was so wrong.
Ethan
coughed and then spoke. "So in two months I'm 18 so if you guys want I
will just leave its no sweat. I been alone all my life mostly so don't
freak it will not be hard for me to do it. Don't get me wrong I am
loving the creature comforts you guys offer, but its not biggie for me
to walk."
I
thought I should perhaps re-sure him that we was welcome for the rest
of his life. We were not going to ever do that to him. James spoke out,
"what ever you did, we really have done a lot worse, in fact if you
done worse we probably will be impressed you could get away from it!" I
was so happy James had said that.
Ethan looked at us. "I am gay." James smirked at him. "Perhaps you are, you have plenty of time to find out and experiment".
Ethan
held the bottle, now empty, in his lap. I leaned forward and passed
him my full bottle. Both James and I had never encouraged Ethan to
drink, but we never stopped him. We did not want him to become a
stranger to drink. The first few times we let him drink he of course
went crazy. But since then he became sensible and we imagined that
would follow him when he was out too. It seemed to be working. Ethan
took the drink and gulped down several mouth fulls.
