| Alex's POV |
I woke up the next morning next to Grayson. My heart dropped.
Did I sleep with him?? My mom is going to flip.
I looked at my phone and it was 7:30 AM.
"GRAYSON!! We have school! Come on!" I nudged him to wake up.
He started to wipe his eyes and turned to look at me, "what?" Then he sat up, "oh! Come on baby!" He picks me up and carries me to the bathroom to brush our teeth.

After Grayson and I got ready he lead me to the car to go to school.
He looked over at me in the passenger seat, "what happened last night?"
"After um..." I paused to think. I could barely remember what happened, did we...? No. Yes?
I pushed my hair behind my ear, "All I remember honestly is us falling asleep together after kissing. That's all."
"I'm just happy I got to wake up to that beautiful face and see you so fresh and radiant. I love you Alex."
"I love you too gray, I do."

As we arrived to school he helped me out of the car and tried to squeeze my butt one last time before he could get in trouble for it.
"GRAAAYYY!!"
He nudged me,"What? It's cute!"
He pulled me in under his arm to walk to the school. I see Leah in tears.
I turn to Grayson and put my hand on his chest, "one sec ok babe?"
I walked over to her to see if she was okay, "Leah, what's wrong?"
She tried to get puffs of air and finally looked up at me, "Alex, it's just...Ethan broke up with me. Last night. He said he has feelings for someone else. I don't know what I did wrong."
I pulled her in tightly, "Leah! You did nothing wrong!" I knew this was coming. "Ethan is missing out on a lot for loosing you! But we better get to class ok?"
I walked back over to Grayson in the corner waiting for me on his phone.
"Grayson I give you full permission to beat up your brother when you get home. I know I sound like a complete b**ch saying that but it's true. He broke up with Leah last night. And his reasoning was for having feelings for someone else. I can bet you 100% I know who that person is."
I could see his face get red real quick.
"Alex, I won't beat him up at first, I want to get him to admit it. He is my brother I don't want to hurt him. I will probably just show you off or make him jealous."
I rubbed my hand on his cheek, "I trust you."

By the time lunch came around it was time to see the twins. I was walking in with Leah and she stopped me in my tracks, "Alex, Ethan broke me. I can't sit with you today I'm sorry. I know you probably want to sit with your boyfriend and I totally understand-"
"Leah, I would never want ditch you for a boy, but in this situation it's for the better. I want to see if I can talk to Ethan about this or have Grayson talk to Ethan about this. I have to sit with them for you, I promise I'm always here for you and I am doing this for the better."
She put a slight grin on her face, "I trust you. Thank you."
I gave her a hug and patted her back as a "good-bye" as she walked over to another table.
Grayson and Ethan were already sitting down at our usual table and I could see Grayson's smile all the way from the door.
As I approached the table, Grayson pulled out my chair for me so I could sit and Ethan sat there resting his left cheek in his hand. He looked so lonely I didn't know what to say or think.
Grayson leaned in to speak to me and whispered, "remember the plan, before I bring anything up if I needed to, I'm just going to show you off to him."
He then pulled me in and held me in his arms casually, "So, Ethan. Bro. What's up?" He then kissed my forehead. He was so obvious.
He put his arm down that he was resting on and let out a puff of air, "well, Leah and I broke up recently and I'm ya know just holdin up."
Grayson put his hand on my inner thigh and made me bite my lip. I turned towards him and whispered, "not now."
"So why did y'all break up though?" He raised his brow.
"Eh I just didn't like her like I used to. I kinda have feelings for someone else anyways."
Grayson wrapped his arm around me and started stroking my arm, "and who might that be?"
Ethan started to look uncomfortable. You could see it in his face. "Um I don't really want to talk about it right now."
"-understandable." I cut Grayson off before he could fire anything at Ethan. I didn't want to start a scene in the cafeteria.
