Bad Blood (g.d) and (e.d)

Part 22

Piper POV

I ran home sobbing. Why? How?
I threw myself in bed and cried.

I guess we have bad blood between us again.

Later

"Hello, Ethan?"

"Hey, yea... Do u want to work on the project?"

"Um..."

"Grayson is not here.... He's at a friends house" Mia. "Plus I wanted to talk to you about something"

I sighed.

"Ill be over in 10." I said hanging up the phone.

Shortly afterward

I sat on Ethan's dark blue bed with our poster board in my hands. Why was I even here? Ethan came walking in the room.

"So I guess Grayson took the markers... We just have to use paint." He said pulling out plastic bottles from a old bag.

"Um no problem.... Paint is going to make it even better!" I said trying to be optimistic. Truth be told, I suck at painting.

Things were quiet as we painted in his room, until Ethan spoke.

"So, how are u holding up?"

I nodded my head and gulped. "Good." I said choking on my last word. If you call "good "breaking down in the middle of the night, then yes.

"Do u still have feelings for him?" He asked

I nodded again. "Yup."

Then Ethan shifted his weight and got up.

"Piper! Look at yourself right now! You look half dead, you reek, and I can tell your about to cry again!"

I looked up. He pretty much summed me up at the moment.

"I hate seeing you like this! I'm going to help you get Grayson back!" He yelled.

"Ethan that's so sweet of you bu-"

"NO BUT ETHANS PIPER! I want you to be happy! I'm here for you now."

He knelt down and hugged me. It felt warm and almost comforting. I closed my eyes and let go of everything around me.

I pulled back at looked at him. His brown eyes sparkled and he had a small smile on his face. I can trust Ethan.

We then continued painting. Ethan commented at my sloppy painting skills. I saw his side of the board and was amazed. The colors were beautifully blended and chosen.

By the time you knew it, both of us were covered in paint and laughing. I decided to take a shower at their house. I wore Ethan's oversized t shirts and a pair of sweatpants. Ethan was shirtless, revealing his gorgeous abs.

"What?" He said blushing

"Oh nothing... I zoned out and... Um...." I looked around for an excuse

"Or maybe you were just checking me out." He said with a smirk

"NO I WASNT!" I yelled gently slapping him.
