Babe: Hey where are you??
Scarlette: sorry baby I'm at this hotel my dad told me to stay at
Babe: So we can't hang out tonight??
Scarlette: no I'm so sorry
Babe: It's okay I'll see you in the morning:)
I locked my phone and set it on my thigh. I let out a huge sigh before turning my head and looking out the window. I didn't really feel bad for lying to Carson I was just scared for him to find out. Not for my sake but for Grayson's.
"Why are you so against going over to the twins house? I thought you and Grayson were like best friends." my dad said breaking the silence that surrounded the car.
"We just aren't friends anymore. Sh- things just happen like that and we just stopped talking." I weakly smiled but I could tell that my dad wasn't buying my lie.
"Okay if you don't want to say the truth fine but you have to stay here. I'm sorry Scar but you do and I wish you could just come with me but-" I barged in with anger and shock.
"COME WITH YOU?" I snapped. "Why not find a different job that is closer to home? God you are always saying you are sorry that you have to leave and you wish you didn't have to but you never do anything about it!" I argued letting everything out before he started talking.
"Please watch your tone." he said taking his eyes off of the road to look at me.
"Please watch the road." I replied rolling my eyes before turning my head towards the window once again. Once my eyes focused on where we were I sat up straight and my breathing picked up.
"Are you going to get out?" he asked putting the car in park.
"There's no way I can get out of this?" I whispered and he sighed before shaking his head no. I let out a small groan then hopped out of the car and got my bag out of the trunk.
"Bye sweetie." my dad called driving off leaving me in the yard that was owned by the Dolan's.
Grayson's POV
"How was the first day?" my mom asked Ethan and I setting down three plates.
Ethan and I both looked at each other with our eyes wide. I could tell that both of us had no idea what to say.
"Pretty good." Ethan finally spoke up.
"Well good what about you Gray?" she asked.
"Uh yeah it was okay." I replied and she let out a soft sigh.
"You boys know that you can tell me if you get bullied again right? I don't want to have to figure out from the principal because you two got into a fight at school or something like that again." she admitted and I set my fork down lightly before rubbing my face in the palm of my hands.
"Yeah we would tell you but of course we wouldn't get bullied on the first day." Ethan smiled weakly towards me.
"Yeah I know I was just making su-" she was cut off by a knock at the door.
"I'll get it!" I jumped up and jogged over to the door. "Scarlette?" I asked in shock that she was standing before me at my house.
"Uh hey." she said looking down at her feet, not once making eye contact with me.
"Um what are you doing here?" I asked opening the door a little more so I could lean against it.
"She is staying here for a little while, while her dad is out of town." my mom walked up and smiled. "Here I'll take your stuff sweetie. Ethan can you please show her towards the guest room?" she asked and Ethan barely looked back before nodding his head in agreement.
"This way." he said using his hand to point towards the stairs. Scarlette smiled a slightly friendly smile before quickly moving past me and my mom and following Ethan upstairs.
"Why?" I whispered to my mom.
"What?" she asked in response.
"Why did you have to invite her over? How long is she going to be here?" I barked quietly just so Scarlette wouldn't hear me.
"She is staying for about a month because her dad is leaving and he didn't want her alone. What's the big problem anyway? Wasn't she like your best friend?" she argued and I bit my tongue so I wouldn't say anything she didn't really need to know.
"Yeah she was. She just uh, randomly stopped talking to me out of no where as if I did something wrong but she wont tell me why. It's just going to be awkward having her here that's all." I said and she giggled a little bit. "What's so funny?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"Have fun being awkward around her. I can't wait to see what you act like." she laughed walking back over to the table and sitting back down. I sighed before closing the front door and placing my forehead against it.
Ethan's POV
I started walking upstairs then slowly stopped to make sure she was following and when I turned to see that was she right behind me, I kept going. I went up the last step and turned to the left. My room was on the right then there was a bathroom and on the very left there was the guest room which she would be staying in.
"Here it is." I smiled letting my arm stretch out to show her the door.
She wriggled the knob and it finally opened but when she walked in there were video games and other small random stuff laying all over the floor.
"Oh uh sorry I'll pick up this stuff." I giggled slightly and she smiled.
"I'll help." she said.
"Why?" I asked and she turned her attention to me.
"Because it's a big mess and I don't want to just stand there and watch you clean." she giggled and I rolled my eyes.
"Not that. You know what I mean." I answered picking up a pair of headphones and stuffing them in my pocket.
"I'm sorry I don't think I do." she smiled in confusion and I let myself fall backwards so I could sit against the wall.
"Why are you here?" I asked trying not to come off too mean.
"Oh because my dad is leaving for another stupid work trip and he doesn't want me alone at my house." she replied trying not to look me in the eye. I put my pointer finger under her chin and pulled her head towards me so she was looking at me. I laughed before letting go of her chin and standing back up to fix the bed.
"So why not stay at Carson's house?" I asked fluffing the pillow then turning around to look at her standing by the door.
"Because he doesn't know I have a boyfriend and he definitely wouldn't trust me over there." she answered and I rolled my eyes playfully and smiled.
"Okay well your room is finished just put your stuff in the closet and the dresser. Have you eaten?" I asked stopping myself from walking out the door.
"Erm no I haven't." she answered folding one of her shirts and throwing it in the drawer.
"Okay well if you're hungry you can come downstairs to eat with us." I smiled before walking out of the room and down the stairs.
