Ethan's POV

You might think my girlfriend wanted this double date to happen. Well she didn't. I mean, she wanted it to happen, but it was my initial idea. I missed seeing Skylar. And Grayson, I guess. I wouldn't say I say that I still have feelings for Skylar. Why would I like my brother's girlfriend? It's just I genuinely want her to like me, as a friend of course. Or maybe more? I don't know. It's weird. I just want her to like me. Or I want to like her but I know that I can't? No that's not it. Is it? No it's not. That's stupid. I like Brooke. She's my girlfriend. She's the only girl I love and ever will. I'm glad I met her. I shouldn't want Skylar, and I don't want her. I've been thinking too much about this. I'm over complicating everything and making nothing into something. None of this matters.

"Baby what's wrong? You've been ignoring me for the past 5 minutes. What are you thinking about?" Brooke asks which snaps me back into the real world.

"Uh nothing?" I answer back quickly before turning to the table. Skylar and Gray should be here any minute now. My heartbeat rate speeds up drastically at the thought of seeing Skylar again after all this time. Well I kinda saw her like yesterday but that's different. It'll be my first time seeing her in like a dress in stuff.

Skylar's POV

Grayson and I walk into the steakhouse together with our fingers intertwined. We walk through the door instantly seeing Ethan and Brooke.

We sit down at the table and I instantly notice Ethan's girlfriend staring at me with some look. Not a mean look, bad look, an innocent look. Acting like nothing happened... But it's okay. I'm going to give her another chance. Hopefully she's nice tonight.

"Oh my god Skylar I love your dress. Where'd you get it?" Brooke asks in full excited.

"I got it from some store in the mall, I don't remember what it's called. Sorry," I answer, trying to keep eye contact.

"Well Sky, you look very nice," Ethan says as he nods his head.

"Ok thanks," I respond, suddenly looking down at my empty plate. I feel like we've been here forever and I'm so hungry. The worst part is we haven't even ordered yet. It'll be forever until the awkwardness at the table dies down, so I'll just go to the bathroom for a little while. No one will even notice.

*In the restroom*

I don't know why, but I'm really paranoid and nervous right now. And there's nothing to even worry about. Brooke is actually nice.. I think? I mean why would Ethan like her if she wasn't? Maybe he likes her for her appearance. She is pretty so it's a possibility. But I don't think Ethan's shallow like that.

All of a sudden, I see her walk in. And she doesn't look innocent like she did before. She looks mad.

"Oh hey," I greet her with a smile.

"Look, I saw the way you were staring at my boyfriend, and I don't appreciate it. So just back off because he's mine not yours," she snaps angrily.

"I didn't even look at him and I'm not attracted to Ethan at all..."

"But you're dating his brother who looks exactly like him? Okay."

"They don't look alike once you get to actually know them. And I like Grayson's personality. I don't care what he looks like," I finish.

The next thing I know, I see her turn on the sink and start splashing herself in water. She's purposely getting it all over her hair and her dress. Why is she doing this?

A second later, she grabs me by the wrist and drags me outside the bathroom. Before anyone can see us, she starts fake crying. At this point, I'm convinced that she's on drugs.

We reach the table with her still gripping onto my wrist. She's still fake crying and I'm just confused.

"Ethan! Look what she did to me!" She screeches.

Did she actually just say that? She realizes that no one would believe that, right?

"Skylar what the fuck. Why would you do that to her?" Ethan says completely serious. I want to punch him right now.

"I didn't do anything to her, she's fine," I defend myself.

"Bitch you honestly expect me to believe that Brooke would just pour water on herself and fake cry?" He says while rolling his eyes.

"Ethan we all know damn well that your girlfriend is lying. It's obvious as fuck. And don't call my girl a bitch. Skylar's innocent and Brooke is just jealous because she lowkey wants me. This hoe straight up DMing me saying she wants to hook up and just not tell anyone. Oops I wasn't supposed to say that, oh well," Grayson says and I want to die. She tried stealing Grayson then accused me of wanting Ethan?

"Now's not the time to make up shit Gray. And Skylar is a bitch for getting jealous of Brooke so easily." Does Ethan not realize that I'm right here and I can hear everything he's saying. Literally yesterday we were talking and now he's calling me a bitch for something I didn't do. Okay.

"Ethan are blind? Brooke's obviously lying to your face right now boi. Like are you serious?"

"Why would she make this up? She's not manipulative like that. Skylar, on the other hand is shady and petty so she'd do something like this."

"Shady and petty? Only I can call her that. And why would your girlfriend lie to you? I don't know, maybe because she's trying to get you to turn against Skylar because you're literally in love with Sky. Oops wasn't supposed to say that either."

No one really knows what to say after that. There's a silent 30 seconds before I notice someone walk into the steakhouse. I look and see who it is. Oh my god, it can't be. Is it?

I'm updating again today so stay tuned ! <3
