Double the Trouble

Game over

(Iris's pov)
I woke up to what seemed to be morning. I looked to my clock on the right. 6:30 am? This wasn't normal for me. Ethan's arm was around me and he was sleeping. God he's adorable. How did I manage to screw everything up and betray him. The guilt rushed straight to my stomach yet again so I slowly got out from under his arm and went downstairs. As I got down I saw Grayson asleep on the couch. Why didn't he sleep in the room? I shook my head trying to ignore the sight of his perfection and made my way to the kitchen to get some orange juice. I poured myself a glass and started slowly gulping it staring at the floor thinking about what I was gonna do. Just as I felt closer to a decision I was startled by a hand on my hip. I jumped and turned around fast to the sight of Grayson with messy hair. He half smiled," morning gorgeous." I smiled at his attractively deep morning voice but then remembered. This wasn't like the other weeks. Ethan was upstairs. I'm done being a slut. I shook my head and walked to the sink to wash my cup. As I finished washing it I turned around and as I expected Grayson was right there. He grabbed both my hips this time. "Iris what's wrong? W.." I cut him off putting my finger to his perfect lips. "Shh. Ethan's upstairs sleeping. And what do you mean what's wrong? Everything's wrong Grayson. I'm dating your brother. As if it isn't slutty enough to cheat period I cheated on my perfectly sweet boyfriend with HIS BROTHER. How don't you understand how wrong that is? I made huge mistakes these past few weeks. I should've never done anything I did or let you do all the things you did. What happened, happened. If I could take it all back i would. It didn't mean anything (I lied). Me and you, we're toxic Gray. We're bad together. When I'm around you it's scary cuz I do things I wouldn't normally do. Things that aren't right. And I'm done. I may be forced to be around you but whatever it was that we had going on, it's over." I took his shaky hands off of my hips and felt my heart break as I saw the hurt and shocked expression on his face. This was the right thing to do. Even if it felt wrong. Even if it felt like possibly the worst thing I'd ever done.
Teary eyed I made my way back upstairs to my room sniffling. Seeing the sight of Ethan still sound asleep on my bed however made me smile a little. Maybe it wasn't that Ethan didn't give me any feeling. Maybe it was that I was always so focused on resisting Gray that I never gave Ethan a fair shot. I didn't deserve him. But did he deserve to have his heart broken. No. I'm gonna give him a chance. My mind soothed slightly knowing that I had finally made atleast one decent decision. I slipped back under the covers and snuggled up to Ethan's chest. Just as I got comfortable I felt him waking up. I pretended to be asleep like the dork I am not knowing what else to do. I felt his eyes on me. I fluttered my eyes open and looked at him. He smiled. "Goodmorning gorgeous." Just as I was about to smile a million thoughts and moments with Grayson flashed through my mind attacking every feeling in my body. Hearing those words only from Graysons mouth to suddenly hearing Ethan saying them. It didn't feel right. I remembered all the stupid and cheesy things Grayson did before and during the short while Ethan was gone. Were they wrong? Yes. Would I take them back? Not one of them. I came back to the present and felt my eyes tear up all over again. Ethan sat up quickly and grabbed my face. "Iris what's wrong? Talk to me I'm here for you." I felt myself about to have a full on breakdown but I wasn't about to cry my eyes out in front of Ethan and have to come up with an even bigger lie than I was about to make up so I sucked it up. I fake smiled. "Nothing really. It's just it just struck me that your back. I didn't really get to fully process it last night but seeing you here laying next to me just made me feel emotional that's all." A huge smile plastered on his face and he kissed my forehead pulling me onto his lap. I layed my head on his shoulder and stayed like that for a while with him. He whispered in my ear," I want you to come somewhere with me today. Just a day to ourselves. Come on get up." I smiled and got up. He furrowed his eyebrows when he stared at me. I was confused. "What's wrong?" I asked. He replied," Were you wearing that last night when I got here?" I furrowed my eyebrows too now. "Yea...?" I answered. "Whose sweater is that?" He stood up stiffly. I looked down and felt my face get hot. I was in such a rush last night to get something on that I didn't realize that I had put on Jack's sweater. "Oh this?" I choked out thinking of things to say as I went. "It's just one of my friends." He came closer to me. "What friend Iris? That sweater looks really familiar. Is it someone I know? Is it Graysons?" He asked. I got angry mostly because I was getting cagy as he touched a tender spot in my life right now, Grayson. And because he was questioning me so much. "No Ethan it's not Graysons. And even if it was so what. Who cares whose sweater it is. It's a sweater. Not an engagement ring." Just as I was about to ramble on more my phone rang which was closer to where Ethan was standing. He picked it up and looked at the screen and moved his tongue to the side of his mouth nodding his head. His jawline clenched. He spoke," Now I remember whose sweater it is. Jacks." He spit revealing the text from jack on my phone. I grabbed it from his hand. It read,"Goodmorning Iris💓" I locked my phone and looked up at Ethan. "So what? Friends can't text me? If you must know I hung out with Jack and it was cold so he gave me his sweater what's the big deal?" Ethan's body got tense. "The big deal Iris is that I don't know anything that went on while I was gone. I come back to you getting flirty texts from gilinsky, you sleeping in his sweater, and waking up this morning praying that I heard you wrong when you were downstairs!" My whole body got tense at the last part. "Heard what?" My voice cracked. Ethan angrily ran his fingers through his hair. "Oh I don't know where do you want me to start where you were slutting around with other guys or where you 'let things happen with Grayson'. I THOUGHT I COULD TRUST YOU. AND WITH MY BROTHER IRIS SERIOUSLY. MY BROTHER! I thought maybe I heard wrong but seeing you in that sweater and that text on your phone cleared things up for me." I stood there shocked and felt a hot tear run down my cheek. Then Grayson walked in. "What's going on?" He asked cluelessly. Ethan swung his fist at Grayson and hit his cheek. Grayson punched him back and before I knew it they were fighting in my room. "STOP!!" I yelled. They both looked at me. Grayson looked at Ethan," WHAT THE HELL BRO!" Ethan wiped blood off his lip. "I know everything Grayson. Take the slut what do I care." Grayson punched the hell out of Ethan at those words and Ethan fell back. At this point hot tears were shedding down both my cheeks consecutively. "STOP BOTH OF YOU. You know what Ethan I think I'm gonna take that offer. I'm gonna take a day to MYSELF. I expect both of you to be out of my room when I get back. We all have to live together for the next few months but I don't intend on communicating with either of you." I grabbed my keys and ran downstairs to my other room. I changed into a Nike pro sports bra and a black fitted jacket with some dark denim shorts and white converse. My hair was in beach waves from yesterday so I left it like that. I got my wallet and into my car and drove. Not sure where I was going, but I was getting out of here.
