“Ooh yeah burritos are pretty great. Jax knows this awesome Mexican place, but it’s like an hour away so we don’t go much.”

"Well then if you ever get the chance to go, make sure you call me, okay?"

“Oh yeah I’ll definitely let you know if we’re going, no worries. You’re basically part of the group now.”

"Part of this rag-tag group of weirdoes trying to keep each other alive."

“Yep. Isn’t that the best type of group?” He laughed softly. “But yeah that description is pretty much completely accurate.”

"Well let's hope it stays true or else that is going to be extremely depressing."

“Oh yeah that would be depressing. Unfortunately it seems like Jax has made it his life goal to get in as many life or death situations as possible.”

"And that's why we're here. To keep him from getting himself or anyone else killed."

“Yep. Speak of the devil…” he quickly scanned the room, trying to catch sight of Jax. “Aaaand found him. He’s still fine. Seems in no rush to murder anyone too so that’s good.”

"Good to know. But I still want to know about you. You're not one for talking about yourself, are you?"

“I guess I’m not.” He shrugged. “Keep asking me questions then, I’m shit at talking about myself without them.”

"How about family? Got any?"

“Unfortunately. They’re stereotypical rich people. Needless to say, Jax isn’t even allowed to step foot in my house.” He sighed, rolling his eyes.

"Well that sucks. We just love that, don't we?"

“Yep. I don’t like them that much, but besides that they’re not terrible parents so I just deal with it.”

"Can I have them then? Because I will take them over my drunkard mother in a heartbeat." She smiled a little. "What about siblings? Got any of them?"

“Nope. Only child. Which is also why they’re so hard on me and force me to do so many things.” He rolled his eyes.

"Ouch. I wish I was an only child. Trust me, no siblings is certainly better than three. Well, two. Two living ones, at least."

She definitely caught his attention with that one. “Do you want to talk about it?” He asked, his tone softening a bit.

She rubbed the back of her neck with an awkward smile. "I'd rather not, if that's okay. It's a kind of touchy subject that I'd rather not remember for the time being."

He nodded. “Of course, that’s perfectly fine. We all have things that we’d rather forget about.” He was quick to change the subject. “Most of mine are related to Jax. I’ve seen a lot of things while being around him…so many things.” He shuddered.

"Some things are best left forgotten. Some memories are best kept buried deep in your heart to be abandoned."

He nodded in agreement but didn’t say anything else, instead, he took the spare moment to figure out where Jax was, making sure he hadn’t left with someone already, and then going back to staring at the ceiling.

"He still out there?" She couldn't help but giggle. "Gotta make sure we don't lose him but if this is how it always is then I'm gonna start charging him if I have to act like his babysitter."

“Seriously we should start charging him.” Ethan replied with a soft chuckle. “He never does it on purpose, but he just has a habit of leaving with people without telling me.”

"Well that's why I'm here. To be an extra pair of eyes so that you don't lose him quite as easily."

“Well your help is very much appreciated so, thank you.” He smiled softly over at her before his eyes quickly returned to where Jax was, just verifying that he didn’t look like he was going to get into trouble.

"How did you two meet? It doesn't seem like something that should've happened so I really don't believe that it was an accident."

“It was an accident of sorts I guess. We went to the same elementary school and somehow were already both the loner type. We just didn’t see a need for friends. One day these older kids just decided to target me for seemingly no reason. And Jax being Jax, showed up out of nowhere and saved me. I got him out of trouble after that, and it kind of became a mutually beneficial thing for us to work together.” He shrugged.

She snorted. "Of course your friendship is like a business deal. I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner."
