Skylars POV
It has now been a week since Gray and I got into an argument. Ethan has woken up and has been going through some tough lessons lately. He barely wants to eat, he's in so much pain he doesn't want to move. He hasn't shaved and now he's starting to grow facial hair. I tell Grayson to give Ethan time to heal before we argue over anything. I try to encourage Ethan, but he has a lot to process. He's agreed to the charges on his ex, and she is now being trialed. Ethan was near death but somehow he made it through. He keeps wanting to thank me, but deep down I feel guilt. I can't help this awful pain in my chest that tells me I'm guilty, but I didn't pull the trigger. "What are you thinking about dear?" Ethan says to me taking his eyes off the tv and burrowing his brows with concern. "Oh nothing E I just zoned out." I can't tell him I feel guilty if I can't explain why. Suddenly Gray walks in and Ethan gets a smile on his face "BROTHER good afternoon it took you long enough to get here!" Gray kind of rolled his eyes at me and then sarcastically laughed at his brother. "Sorry Ethan, but some of us have to work because not everyone has a crazy ex that shoots them." Ethan kind of looked surprised "well geez Gray thanks for that" Gray sighed and apologized. I tried to keep an unbothered and happy face but the glares I kept receiving from Gray were deadly. I asked the boys if they wanted anything from the cafeteria and went and got food. I couldn't help but feel worried about Gray and I's relationship. I hope and pray that telling him how I truly feel won't ruin our relationship.
Grays POV
I don't want to be mad. I want to be okay with how Skylar feels and love and accept her. I just thought that we were together and it hurts to see how she looks at E. "Hey if you and Skylar don't stop zoning out my depression will never go away" I look at E "I'm sorry man...wait did you say Skylar was zoning out?" E looks at me strange "um are you and Skylar doing okay? " I laugh at his back handed question "why E you wanna go ahead and take her from me completely?" He looks at me confused and shocked "Gray what the hell is that supposed to mean?"  I storm out of the room to see Skylar walking back with the snacks. She slowly smiles at me and I turn the corner completely ignoring her. All of the sudden I feel a jerk at my arm and there she is with a look of fear and sadness. "Gray what happened, please talk to me" " DO YOU LOVE ME?!" I shout ,she flinches, but I can't let this go. "Yes I love you, absolutely." She stutters with tears in her eyes. I could tell she was sincere and I just broke down. " then why am I not good enough Sky?! Please why do you need both of us?!" I feel a tear run down my eye and she grabs my cheek wiping it away. I love her and I can't lose her, but we have to talk...all three of us. As of right now I walk away leaving her there crying.
