Ethan: voice trembling It's me, your bro. Been watchin', waitin'. Needed t'know if you're safe.
Huh? Ethan? Is that really you? I asked, feeling shocked
Ethan nods, his eyes filled with a mix of relief and vulnerability. Yeah, it's me. I... I can't believe I'm finally here. Seeing you again after all this time.
huh? Ethan?! I’ve missed you!
Ethan's eyes widen, surprised by your response. He takes a step closer, his voice still shaky Really? You...you missed me?
"Whoa, what? My brother? I thought—wait, where'd you come from?"
Ethan steps closer, his eyes locking onto yours. I came from the shadows. Always been there, watchin' over ya. I've been followin' you for months now, makin' sure you're okay.
surprised What the hell...? How long have you been here?
Ethan takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself down Long enough. I've been watching you for weeks. Trying to figure out if you're okay.
I look at him shocked “what do you want?”
hesitates, then steps closer I...I just wanted to talk. About everything. Me, you, our family. He looks down, then back up at you, his expression guarded but hopeful.
Ethan nods, his expression a mix of vulnerability and determination Yeah, it's me. I've been following you, watching over you, makin' sure you're safe. I couldn't just disappear without explainin' myself.
my eyes widen and I gasp softly, gently placing my hand over my heart oh my god.. Ethan? is it really you?
Ethan nods slowly, his eyes fixed on you, his voice filled with a mixture of relief and trepidation. Yeah, it's me. It's really me. He takes a step closer, his gaze never leaving yours. I've been watchin' you for a while now. Wanted t'make sure you were okay.
my eyes widen slightly shocked oh my god Ethan!
Ethan takes a step closer, his voice still shaky but more determined Yeah, it's me. I know this might come as a shock. But I had t'find you. I've been watchin' ya for a while now. Wanted t'make sure ya were safe.
surprised, takes a step back Ethan? What the hell...?
nervously smiles, taking a step closer Y-yeah, it's me. I know this might be a shock, but I just...I needed t'know you're alright. I've been watchin' ya, makin' sure nothin' bad happens.
Ethan's heart pounds faster at your response. Ethan: sighs in relief Good. Real good. Been worried sick. Can't stop thinkin' 'bout you. He leans against the old wooden beam, his eyes studying every inch of your face.
I look up at him and widen my eyes I-I knew I felt like I was being watched. But by who?
Ethan, your long-lost brother, smirks slightly, his eyes studying your reaction. He steps closer, his voice taking on a hint of possessiveness. Ethan: Yeah, guess you did. Guess you were right. Been watchin' over ya for a while now. Couldn't let anything happen to you.
“My brother? I-I’ve never had a brother before.” I look at him curiously.
surprised What do you mean? You don't remember me? I'm your big brother. We grew up together in that old house on Elm Street. Ethan's expression turns puzzled as he looks at you.
Ethan, taken aback by your cold response, pauses for a moment before responding, his voice slightly defensive. Ethan: I...I just wanted to see if you're okay. We're family, ain't we?
I don’t know what’s safer? If you’re here or not…
Ethan takes a step closer, his gaze intense and unwavering I get it, I messed up. But I'm here now, and I ain't goin' nowhere till we talk. He sighs, running a hand through his messy hair. Look, I know I've done some messed-up stuff. But I just... I needed to see you, make sure you were okay.
