Grayson's POV

Later That Night

"Hey guys can you go upstairs for a bit please?" mom asked as she put down the dish towel that was she was just using.

"Yeah sure." Ethan said and all three of us, Ethan, Scarlette and I, all went upstairs.

"Oh not you Scarlette." my mom added which stopped all of us in our tracks.

"Uh okay." Scarlette said looking to Ethan and I as if we knew what was happening but both of us had no idea.

"You two can go upstairs though." my mom said using her hand to wave us away.

"What do you think mom is going to talk to Scarlette about?" I asked Ethan and he looked down at me like i asked the most stupid question ever.

"You're kidding right?" he asked with a small laugh.

"No?" I questioned which caused Ethan to shake his head in disappointment.

"Mom is going to talk to Scarlette about lying about where she was and the sneaking out to do drugs. Do I need to spell it out for you?" Ethan asked sarcastically.

"Shut up." I rolled my eyes towards Ethan before sitting on the wall beside the stairs so I could still hear what my mom was saying.

"Just what do you think you're doing?" Ethan asked, stopping in front of his door and turning to look at me.

"Listening now sh!" I whispered putting my finger up to my mouth. "What are you doing?" I asked when Ethan came and sat beside me.

"I'm listening too." he answered and I shook my head.

"No Ethan go." I ordered and he got up and walked away.

Scarlette's POV

"Yes ma'am?" I asked sitting with Ms. Dolan in the living room.

"So one of Ethan's friends told Ethan some interesting information. I am not accusing you of anything so just let me speak before you explain okay?" she asked calmly.

"Yeah sure." I answered simply then she started talking.

"Okay so Ethan's friend said that he saw you and a few of your friends out by a store doing illegal drugs. I didn't see anything on you the next morning so I'm not accusing you of anything but I am going to tell your father if you did do it. The other thing is that I know about the other night." she said I my eyes widened. I was scared that she knew that I was having sex the other night but I'm hoping that she doesn't.

"What happened the other night?" I asked innocently. 

"You were 'at a friend's house'. Now this I know is not true because Grayson told me the truth. He said that you went to your house instead and that would be fine but I just need to know. I can understand because home sick and you want to go back or you want to be alone but I have to know where you are. If anything were to happen to you I would be in serious trouble. You understand what I mean right?" she asked and I did a mental sigh of relief.

"Yes I understand." I replied and she let off a soft smile.

"So now about the drugs. Did you or did you not do them?" she asked and I regretted the sigh of relief.

"No I didn't but my friends were. I was just around them when it was happening." I answered hoping it was believable.

"Okay good but I'm not saying you have to because I'm not your parent but you should consider who you hang out with." she said and I just nodded my head so I wouldn't say something to get me in trouble. "Now I can't let you get away with lying about where you were so for the rest of the week you can't go over to your friend's houses. I'm sorry I have to do this but I would do the same thing to my boys if they had done this. There will be an exception when it comes to school projects. You can have people over to work on it if you wish but until your week is up you can't go to their houses. Does that make sense?" she questioned.

"Yes that makes sense." I answered nicely.

"Okay thank you for understanding." she thanked with a smile.

"Yeah no problem." I ended before getting up to walk away. "Oh and sorry for lying I am just not good with talking about my feelings and I thought that if I had told you that I wanted to go back to my house you would want to talk." I smiled.

"It's perfectly okay sweetie just please don't lie again." Ms. Dolan smiled grabbing the remote to turn on the tv.

"I won't." I whispered before walking upstairs. "HOLY SH-" I started to say before Grayson pulled me in the guest room.

"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you I was just wanting to know what she was talking about." Grayson apologized with his hands on my shoulders.

"Okay whatever." I replied plainly.

"Are you okay?" he asked moving his head to the side to follow my eyes.

"Well earlier you were really pissed at me now you want to make sure I don't get in trouble I'm just confused." I answered and I could see his expression go away.

"I'm tired of being mad at each other." he replied and I looked down at the ground with a big puff of air.

"So am I but we both catch big attitudes, have a short temper, and are stubborn and that doesn't work. We were better off not talking." I said and immediately regretted it.

"DON'T SAY THAT!" Grayson argued and I continued to look away.

"WHY YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE!" I argued in response but before I could continue he smashed his lips onto mine.
