{Was Ethan following them? I just remembered you saying that and wasn't sure if you wanted to do something with him} Alice was about to say something else, but then that was when he started to splash more water at her. She shook her hair to try and maybe dry it a little, but it was in vain. And pointless if Erin was going to come after her anyway. But she didn't realize he was until it was too late, and she was under the water. However, Alice wasn't going down without a fight, and wrapped her arms around his neck as to drag him down with her. He was the one who made the mistake this time.

(I'm totally down for him to show up, but I'm not sure how he'd react to them wrestling around in the water lol)
As Erin pulled her under he grabbed one of her legs hoping to get more leverage, but he hadn't realized she had her arms around his neck, which was definitely a big advantage. He came up from under the water to cath some breath with Alice still hanging off of him. (We could get Ethan to come embarrass Erin again, could be fun? Or while they're hanging off of eachother he can come comment on the fact it mighft look like they're totally making out xD)

{JUST DO IT} Alice had to catch her breath as well, and wasn't hesitant to take a few deep breaths when they came back up. She didn't even realize she was still holding onto Erin, as she didn't think of it in the way it must have looked. Alice was using him as a support of sorts to hold her up, since she figured she would fall otherwise. Once she caught enough breath though, she looked up at Erin with a raised brow, "Perhaps you should have thought that through some more huh?" It was karma surely, that he went down with her.

(Okaaaay xD)
Erin shrugged, "maybe this was my plan" he answered slyly with a nonchalante wink before hearing movement behind him
"Oh. My. God." Ethan said from a distance away "I can't believe the two of you! Is this why you wanted me to stay behind? You're really sick, Erin you know that?" He said going off on his older, not caring what either of the two had to say.
"Ethan I uh..." Erin started but let his voice trail, he looked at Alice, his face looking confused and slightly red again

{Yassss Ethan, be angry at your brother. Boys as gross lol jk} Alice opened her mouth to reply, but then she heard a voice that sounded strikingly similar to Ethan's. Her head shot up, and her eyes were wide in disbelief. "It's not what it looks like I-" Alice realised she was still holding onto Erin and quickly let go of him, "we...uh..." she wasn't sure where to start and looked up at Ethan's hesitantly, unsure as to what he was going to say. Alice wanted to clear things up, but she wasn't sure how to explain it.

(He's my favourite honestly xD)
"Go along with it" Erin whispered to her with a wink before turning towards Ethan while he put an arm around her waist "what are you going to do about it?" He taunted his younger with a smirk "maybe this wwas our plan the whole time! After all you shouldn't be around her anyways, it's my buisness not yours"
"But you're my brother! And.... and... and..." he said sounding very frustrated yet calm. "You shouldn't be doing THAT!" He said as he pointed at Alice
"What exactly do you think we were doing?" Erin asked with the tilt of his head "maybe you could tell him, Alice?" He asked her as he turned his head to her

Alice looked at Erin in disbelief. He wanted her to go along with the misconception that they were making out or more? She couldn't, it wasn't right. But she wasn't about to deny it outright, she wanted to at least talk about it first. She lowered her voice so Ethan couldn't hear him. "Why do you want me to go along with this exactly?" She asked, more grossed out now than their playful teasing. Was Erin not who he seemed to be? Was he really a disgusting man with bad intentions? This might be his first step in some plan

He wasn't surprised, hearing what she had to say, though he didn't exactly mind. It was quite a wrong thing to do but he generally loved to bother his brother in any way possible. But clearly he crossed a line "sorry" he mumbled quietly before letting go of her "we should head home, Ethan." He said as he made his way out of the water
"But you didn't answer me! What was going on?" Ethan insisted on knowing, but wasn't going to get an answer out of Erin.
"Let go of it, kid. We weren't doing anything like that." He stated before looking towards the path back to the house, he was reluctant to have to go back to looking after her while they were stuck in there. He hoped they'd find something else to do on the way back but he hadn't had any ideas.

It was a relief to Alice that her previous assumptions were wrong. But it worried her that he may have hurt Erin's feelings by asking him what she did. He seemed to be more saddened anyway, and she felt absolutely terrible about it. "Sorry, I probably shouldn't have reacted like that." She murmured quietly as she started to head towards the shore with Erin next to her.

"Honestly, it's fine. I get it." Erin responded with a shrug, though he was quite hurt he didn't want her to feel so bad about it.
"You still have to explain to me!" Ethan budged in, stealing the attention, which once Erin was thankful for, this was one time he didn't plan on trying to shut him up.
"I can explainlater, okay?" Erin said as he started to walk, not really paying attention to the fact he had been walking at quite a fast pace. He was quite embarrassed and unsure of whether or not he made a mistake with what he had asked her to do

Alice had messed up, big time, and now it was up to her to fix it. Well, when she figured out how to anyway. She was struggling to keep up, being both wet and cold. "Wait! Erin!" She stumbled a little before catching up to him and grabbing him by his arm gently. "Slow down, I'm cold, wet, and want to talk." She said sternly, her teeth chattering as she did so.

Erin had tensed up, he didn't really notice her grabbing his arm for a second and telling him to slow down and when he did he felt bad for making it seem like he was ignoring her "I apologize, Alice" he said quickly before slowing himself down, he looked over to her and gave a smile "what is it you'd like to talk about?"
Ethan was following quietly, he wasn't too smart but he could tell things between the two weren't good at the moment, he also felt as if it was his fault so he kept silent as he walked.

When Erin spoke, it seemed as if it was his default setting almost to go back to that emotionless version of himself but with chivalry. Hurt flashed across her features, and they unintentionally stayed there for Erin to notice. Alice quickly shook her head though, and looked down at the ground before focusing her gaze back on the house. "Nevermind..." Her voice trailed off and then she, thought hurt, moved towards the house again.

After she told him off, he noticed quickly he had clearly made a mistake, he looked over to Ethan and nodded, signifying for him to leave. As they got into the house he went upstairs to grab them both some new clothes and something to dry off with. As he came back down he descended the small set of stairs rather slowly, he wasn't sure if she had wanted to talk or if she just wanted him to leave her alone once again. He didn't say anything as he approached her, he kept his head down and placed her clothes and towel in front of her with a nod before going and drying off so he could change into the dry clothing. After he had dried off and changed his clothes he came back into the living room and sat on one of the couches
Ethan left without a fuss, he still felt bad about interrupting them earlier that day.

Alice didn't look at Erin as she took the clothes and towels from him, but she nodded her thanks and went upstairs to change. Even if she was dry, she was still cold, and she crossed her arms over her chest in an attempt to warm herself up. Alice stood by the window she did when she first came to the house. She didn't say anything for a while, and let the silence drag on for a whole before saying anything. "Are you mad at me?" She asked suddenly.

Erin was quite confused hearing her question, "why would I be?" he then asked confused as to what she had meant. He didn't have a reason to be mad about the incident from earlier. He looked at her, even though she hadn't been looking at him at all, before he continued to speak "I have no reason to be mad at you, please don't think that." He said with a sort of sad tone to his voice, he didn't like when people were mad, confused or whatever their feelings may be. So long as it was a bad feeling, of course.

Alice tucked a stray piece of hair behind her ear and waited again before answering. It was difficult to think when so many emotions swirled in her mind. "You know I didn't mean to make you upset right? I just..." she was unsure as to how she would continue, she wasn't able to if she was being honest. She felt like she had let Erin down, that she had ruined everything.

Erin had noticed she was unsure of how she felt, he got up and made his way over to her and put a hand on her shoulder "it's okay, Alice. What I asked you to do was wrong and very childish." He said with a smile "I in no way blame you, and I don't feel bad about it." He stated trying his best to comfort her. He really didn't want her to be sad, it would make him feel worse about the whole situation in general. "Please don't be hard on yourself, it wasn't your fault." He said as reassuringly as possible

Alice was going to protest, as it was her fault. At least she felt like it was anyway, but she said nothing of a sort. She sighed, and then sniffed from the cold before replying. "If you're sure. I just don't want you to think it's all your fault either." She figured that was a decent explanation of her feelings so Alice went with that. And it sounded more or less like an apology, so Erin old take that whichever way he wished.

Erin nodded and took his hand iff her shoulder. He made his way back to the couch and took a seat once again "we should just forget about that part." He stated and looked around, he had begun to feel the cold "the rest was quite fun, but just the end wasn't too great." He said before he got up to look for some wood, which he found near the fireplace. He kneeled down by the fire and took some time to start it. He didn't go back to the couch, he sat by the fire trying his best to warm up

Alice didn't speak until Erin had started the fire. She carefully moved around the furniture and sat down beside him in front of the fireplace. "I would have to concur. You're face was unforgettable." She chuckled as she remembered the faces Erin made and all of his blushing. He was quite fun to be around, the exact opposite of what she expected him to be. Well, occasionally he was fun, like back at the river. She didn't realize he had that side to him, and was quite pleased to see it.

"Hey! It's not my faukt you're quite the actor." He stated in almost a pouty way, he was glad to see they were getting back into a better mood. He didn't like when they sat around feeling bad about each other, it wasn't needed. If anything it made his job harder, which he really didn't want. "It really did look like you were going to kiss me.." he said in a mumble, hiding his face as he said it.

Alice never thought of herself as an actress, but maybe that's what you become when you're told to act in a certain way around certain people. It seemed to be sort of embedded in her brain, almost second nature. But now that she realized it, she wasn't bad for a beginner. His next comment made her smile though, and she could tell he was sort of embarrassed to say it. "Maybe later." She chuckled. Alice wasn't really going to, she hardly knew Erin. She didn't even know how old he was.

Erin bit his lip hearing her, he knew she wasn't anywhere near serious, and he didn't know if he was glad she wasn't or not. She was someone he'd just met the day before so it would be unaccepteable, not to mention Ethan wouldn't be happy with the idea. "Are you hungry?" He asked almost out of nowhere, he'd figured he should ask these sorts of questions to make sure she was comfortable while they would be stuck together. Or at least as comfortable as possible.

{Oh Erin, we all know you want to} Alice raised her eyebrows at the sudden change in subject. He must have been uncomfortable with it, but she didn't blame him, her statement was one that would cause an awkward outcome. She wanted to see how he would react anyway, and so it seems Erin would rather avoid the topic. "A little yeah." She shrugged, she didn't eat breakfast, and only realized it as her stomach felt quite hollow.

(OH does he ever xD)
Erin nodded, "I can cook soon. But we don't have much, sorry to say, so it'll be something simple" he said with a subtle sigh, he didn't really like having to cook with the bare minimum, which happened more often than not. He liked to have more choice and options when he were to cook. Regardless it was food so he wouldn't complain much. He looked over at Alice before he got up to go look for supplies "is there anything you'd like in specific?" He asked as he stood

Alice moved her head to look at Erin as he moved to the cooking area of the house. She gave Erin a small smile and ran a hand through her slightly wet hair. "You don't have to worry about it right now. I would rather talk for a little while. Unless you don't want to talk to me?" She said it like her statement was a question. Hopefully that would lead Erin to sit by her again. She wanted to speak with him again for a little while longer. It was quite calming actually.

Erin nodded, relieved she wasn't hungry yet. He made his way back to his spot near the fire next to her. He sat facing more towards her with a smile "what would you like to talk about?" He asked, tilting his head slightly. He was glad she'd wanted to talk to him, she was very easy to talk to and it made the time he'd spend with her enjoyable. (Short post sorry, in class reading macbeth. I sadly have the role of macbeth but class is over soon)
