Foster Love (An Ethan and Grayson Dolan Fanfiction)

Chapter 6

I woke up to an alarm pounding in my ears and jumped out of bed, startled. 6 a.m. Grayson jumped up. "Sorry! I should have warned you about how loud it is." He slammed his hand on the clock, turning it off. "Why are we up so early?" I groaned. I was a terrible morning person. I can barely function until noon. "School, silly" Grayson laughed.

Fuck. I forgot I had to start a new school today. I looked inside my backpack, which had basically nothing inside of it.

"You can get some clothes from my sister, Cameron" he said, gesturing me to her room. She was really nice and gave me some clothes and did my makeup. She was like the big sister I never had.

I walked downstairs and Mrs. Dolan had some bacon and eggs for breakfast. "We can go shopping sometime and get you some new clothes and whatever else you need" she said to me, smiling.

"Thank you so much Mrs. Dolan!"

"Oh please, call me Lisa."

Ethan came down from the stairs and avoided eye contact with me. He walked out the door without saying anything.

"What did I do? To bother him, I mean." I asked Lisa.

"It's..." She sighed. "It's a long story. But don't worry, he won't act like this for long. It's not like him."

Grayson came downstairs, smiling. "Ready to go? We can't be late."

"Okay." I said, grabbing my bag with only a notebook in it.

We walked to school together in silence.

"Can I ask you a question?" I asked

"Of course"

"Why does your brother hate me?"

"He doesn't hate you... He's just... Mad"

"But why? What did I do?"

"You didn't do anything" he said sharply

"But why is he-"

He cut me off. "This is your class" he said as we approached a door. "Mrs. James"

"Wait you never answered me!" I called after him, but he didn't turn. He just kept walking.
