He looked over towards the bar tender, nodding towards the back room letting know the man that he was going to his room. Good things come from owning a bar. As they filed in, Cain locked the door. “Someone was following us –– well.. you,” he lied perfectly. “What more do you want?” 

“Why would someone be following me, I haven’t done anything, that doesn’t make sense” he shook his head. “If I really need to spell it out to you then I should just leave... you know what I want to know, don’t act like you don’t”

His eyes couldn’t help but roll and he so badly wanted to scoff. So far, the people he had run into had just reminded him of why it was so easy to leave and why he never reached out when the incident happened. As he kept silent for one more block, they wandered into a restaurant, one that was fairly dead and one where he could talk about business. “I don’t know what you mean.”

“Like hell you don’t know what I mean” Ethan said, angrily as he looked at Cain. “You disappear for a year and come back suddenly demanding I listen to you because someone was following us, what the hell was that all about?” he looked at him. “Start explaining or I leave”

Narrowing his eyes, he had no choice, he knew that. Wether it be ethics or the fact that he cared about the younger boy, he couldn’t leave him alone with the criminal following close behind. “Step by step, remember what I said,” his voice carried quietly as he kept moving with him. 

Ethans heart was racing as he kept walking, step by step, just as Cain said. He didn’t know why he was still listening to him, maybe it was because he feared they were actually being followed, and stopping could have hurt him more than going with Cain. “You have to tell me what the hell is going on”

“Listen very carefully,” he spoke as he put his hand on the persons shoulder, pushing them along with him as he walked along the side of the dark alley. “Someone is following,” now while he didn’t specify who, he knew that it would be best for them to tag along –– someone in danger always obeys. “You’ll be fine,” his scottish accent thick with his words. “Step by step. We’re going to round this corner and one more block and I’ll buy you a drink,” he said picking up pace. “How does that sound?”

Ethan looked over at Cain with a shocked expression on his face. “Cain?” he questioned, almost not believing his eyes. “What do you mean someones following- what the hell is happening?” he asked, keeping his eyes on Cain the whole time. Everything about this encounter seemed off to Ethan. Where had Cain gone? Why was he back? Why was he so different? Not sure what he could say, Ethan just agreed to the drink. “Yeah, sure, I guess”

Clara’s eyes flashed with recognition and she grinned, she did know that name, and she would certainly look forward to the chance to hear that voice live too. “I’m Clara Ammon, it’s very nice to meet you Ethan. I’ve heard your music before, you’re very talented.” she said with a grin before raising an eyebrow and giving him a smirk, “I think that should be a surprise, don’t you? I will warn you though, I’m very good with costumes.”

“It’s nice to meet you, Clara” he smiled, “You have? Well thank you so much, I appreciate that” he said, his smile brightening. He loved meeting people who had heard his music, but he was still getting used to recognition, and he never really knew what to say when he did meet a fan. “A mystery, I like it. Now I definitely need to step my game up”

Clara raised an eyebrow, “You know, I thought you looked familiar, but now I’m think I really should know your name.” she said with a small smile as he spoke, trying to figure out exactly who this was. “That sounds perfect though, you definitely have to go there and let me tag along, I want to see that!”

“I’m Ethan, Ethan Sullivan, it’s nice to meet you” he said with a bright smile, “And your name?” he asked, nodding as she said she’d want to go to the bar with him for halloween. “Perfect, I’d love to have you come. The real important question is what you’re going to be for halloween, I have to make sure I have a good enough costume for this now”

[ethansullivan]

Clara laughed, “I’m not either. I mean, I’d like to be but … I also can see how things like that could get a little stuffy.” she agreed before smiling at the man, she could definitely handle spending some time with this one. “Well, if you hear about a party like that, do you think you could pass on the news? It sounds pretty great.”

“I’m going to have to get used to them, I keep getting invited to all of them so I should probably go” he shrugged, looking back at her. “Yeah, of course. I think I actually know one of them, there’s this bar that recently got one of my songs on their karaoke machine and my friend told me about it. I thought about going there for halloween anyway because I thought it would be funny to choose my own song for karaoke once I was drunk” he let out a laugh

Clara grinned, “Well, exclusive sounds interesting … but what sounds like it would be the most fun?” she questioned. If this boy had connections, that would certainly be good to explore, but right now she really just wanted to find a good party.

“Honestly..” he paused, “I’m not really used to the big, fancy parties with models and celebrities yet” he admitted, “So the most fun ones I’ve been to were before all of this when I would just go to a good party at some Manhattan bar, preferably with karaoke with friends and just get completely hammered.” he shrugged, “I don’t know though, they’re all great”

[ethansullivan]

“Okay, we’re only a few weeks out from Halloween, so clearly that means that someone needs to tell me where the cool parties are around here. I don’t want all the tourists stuff, like where do you guys actually go for fun?” she questioned with a grin, “I moved here in July and I don’t plan on leaving, so I really need to figure this stuff out.”

“I got invited to a few different parties, I don’t know which one would be more your speed though” he shrugged, having been invited to several parties since he had released his album and became friends with more famous artists. “A couple of rooftop parties, some more exclusive than others”

“y’know, it’s not everyday you help a murderer avoid prison time,” emilia mused, referring to her recent murder case she won. the smile stretched across her lips was wicked, and she knew there was little to celebrate, but it’s what her life has come to— helping the undeserving cheat the legal system. “should we drink to that?”

[ethansullivan]

“And you’re....proud of that?” He asked, looking skeptically at her. He wasnt sure if he wanted to talk to someone who was seemingly okay with letting a murderer free on the streets, so he didnt answer her about the drinks offered.

Evie stayed quiet as he spoke, finally realizing the impact of her question. “Really? Even after everything I did?” It was nice to know what he thought, especially since she thought of herself so lowly. “I think I would love you more than I do now.”

“Of course, yeah. Everything that’s happened doesn’t change what I think of you now, it wouldn’t have changed anything had things been different either” he smiled a little, “You’re sweet” he said as he looked at her, “I think we would’ve been pretty cute together”

elena felt like using this five days off to relax, by going to this bar she was told to go to. of course she was invited, and she couldn’t decline. it was just tempting for her, to loosen up for just a short time, to just not think of work, the pressure she’s been feeling, and also, things back at home right now, she hasn’t seen her father in a long while.. drinking different kinds of liquor was a bad idea, but she couldn’t ever care less, she had her bodyguard who can assist her back to her car and drive her home.

“i’m not drunk, if that’s what you’re asking,” she said, turning to the person who’s put their hand on her shoulder. “i’m just…seeing which is the strongest drink.”

Looking at the girl for a few seconds, he smiled a little, “Oh yeah? And what have you decided is the strongest drink?” he asked, figuring casual conversation is an easier way to make sure she’s okay than pushing her on how much she’s drank.

“Sure, yeah… If we would’ve dated,” she said in a lower tone, already regretting the question. “You don’t have to answer, that was a stupid question.”

“It’s not a stupid question- um” he paused for a second, thinking. “Yeah I think we probably would’ve dated if we hadn’t been so close when we were kids” he said, cautiously. “I mean you’re obviously very pretty and you are incredibly caring- even though you don’t like when people know that” he smiled, “Yeah I think we would’ve- I probably would’ve asked you out in high school” he shrugged, “What do you think?”

evieharmon‌:

“Like… not as close as we were. I we weren’t best friends just… two people that existed and knew each other. What do you think we’d be like?”

“I....don’t know, I guess- do you mean like if weren’t as close as we are, do you think we would’ve dated? Is that what you’re asking me?”

A soft chuckle left her lips when he mentioned the kiss. That’s what she wanted to ask him about, maybe it was her being lonely or the fact that alcohol was clouding her system slightly. “Did you ever think about what would happen if we weren’t as close?”

Ethan looked at her with a slightly confused expression. “What would happen if we weren’t as close?” he repeated, “What do you mean by that?”

“Whatever you say,” she mused. It was easy to say that with the frequent skipping of meals, it was easier for the alcohol to get to her, making her body warm and tingly. “You pinched me kinda hard.” With the alcohol clouding her mind, she rested her chin against his chest. “Can I ask you something, E?”

“Well then I’m sorry I pinched you hard, let me know if you want me to kiss it and make it better” he joked softly, looking back at her as she spoke again. He didn’t know what she was about to ask, he didn’t even have any guesses on what it could be. “Of course you can ask me something, what’s on your mind?”

“Still,” she mumbled before staring back up at him, her smile falling when he talked about his label. She never trusted them, especially not with him being one of the youngest people in music. “I’d tell you if there was anything new or bad going on,” she huffed. As soon as he pinched her, she let out a small laugh. “Ouch, you dick.” Moving the bottle away from him, she took another sip. “No shit, that’s why you gotta trust me.” 

“They’re really not bad people, I promise. I wouldn’t have chosen to work with them and I certainly wouldn’t spend time with them unless I thought they were good people, it’s fine” he assured, knowing she still wouldn’t listen. “I know, but I’m still going to ask very once and a while to be sure, you know I worry” he smiled a little. “I didn’t even pinch you that hard” he laughed, “I trust you”
