The Bad Boy I Once Knew | G. D.

Chapter 30

"Adriana wake up!" I heard someone say in my ear. I shot my eyes wide open from this awakening, and I saw Julia sitting on the side of my bed. I groaned, and said, "What."

"What's going on between you and Ethan?" she asked, and I noticed she had a suspicious tone.

"What do you mean?" I asked her.

"You kissed guys kissed at the pier," she said. "Are you cheating on Grayson?"

"What?" I said shocked, and instantly sat up. "How did you know that?"

"So it's true?" she asked, and she looked a bit upset. "There's a picture of you and Ethan kissing each other at the pier. I didn't know if it's real or not cause you know how people like to edit things."

"Let me see the picture," I demanded, and I let out a sigh. She then took out her phone from her pocket, and she unlocked it. She then went onto Twitter, and she pulled up a tweet of exactly what she described. It was the day when Ethan and I went to the pier, and I panicked when he was gunna kiss me on the Ferris wheel. But I kissed him when we got off the ride. Someone must have taken a picture of us kissing... How is Grayson going to react?

The person who tweeted this picture looked like a fan of the twins, and she was questioning Gray and I's relationship. But the picture did look edited like Julia had said since it looked a bit blurry, so it could look like it was photoshopped or something, but the thing is that it actually is us kissing... "Is this edited or is this actually you and Ethan?" she asked once again.

"Yes, it is us kissing," I told her. Her facial expression looked so surprised, and I felt so horrible at this moment. "Why?" she asked. I then started to explain to her the whole story, from when Ethan told me his feelings for me, and what we were doing.

I even told her how Grayson doesn't know about it, but how I was gunna tell him later on. I knew this was a terrible thing to go with, and I'm such an idiot for making this decision. "Grayson doesn't know about this picture?"

"Who knows, he probably fucking does," I said bitterly, and I even felt a tear escape from my eye. "I'm such a stupid girlfriend to him. I didn't wanna hurt Ethan's feelings for saying no, but I'm hurting Grayson's so much..."

"Adriana, just think this through," Julia assured me. "You'll need to tell him sooner or later about what you and Ethan are doing. If he loves you as much as you love him, then he might just forgive you for it."

"I doubt it," I shrugged. "I don't know how to tell him about it, and to even tell Ethan to call it off." Julia didn't say anything after that, and there was a couple moments of silence.

It was until we heard a knock on the door, and that brought us out of our thoughts. Julia gave me a sorry look before getting up, and I followed her to the door. I didn't even care how bad I looked if there was someone important at the door.

Julia soon opened it, and Ethan instantly walked in looking uneasy. He brought me into a hug, and said, "I'm so sorry. This is all my fault." I guess he found out about the chaos on Twitter. "I put you in so much danger with you and Gray's relationship, and I'm so sorry for that," he said pulling away from me. "And the whole world knows about us at the pier now. I'm such an idiot for messing up you guys relationship."

"Ethan... It's fine. It's mostly my fault since I agreed to be with you sorta. And I'm the one who kissed you at the pier," I told him. "I don't know if Grayson knows about it, but he will sooner or later. I think me and you should just call this thing off, and explain everything to Grayson..."

"I agree. I'm still so sorry," he added. "I think we'd be better off as friends." I agreed with him, and I gave him the best smile I could. But it was hard since I had this situation running through my head... That's one thing that I've handled, and Ethan and I are just back to being friends.
