Love Triangle

All Things Considered

Ella's POV:

"I'm sorry Grayson but you left me last night and I told you that meant we were on a break so I guess I listened to my heart and it took me to Ethan." I explain.

"I understand." Grayson says.

"I don't know how I feel right now but I do know I can't be with either one of you until I make my mind up." I tell them. "I'm going to go home now."

I slip my shoes on and open the door. "You're still welcome to stay." Grayson says.

"I might just take you up on that offer." I reply before walking out the door. I don't know what I just did I just know I needed Abby but she was no longer here for me. Who could I talk to now? I had no one. I couldn't talk to the boys and I wasn't close enough to anyone else to tell them any of this, I was officially alone.

"Ella, where've you been?" Claire asks.

"Dropping off my best friend at the airport and now I'm never going to see her ever again." I reply.

"Oh. I'm going out of town for a while to stay with some guy I met, you'll be okay for a week by yourself right?" She questions.

"Yeah. I'll be fine." I lie and march to my room. I sit in my room and cry for a while. Now who do I turn too?

My phone pings with a message from Grayson:
I know you might think it's awkward to stay with us now but I'm always here for you.

I know Grayson wanted me back and that was probably one of the reasons he asked me round but I didn't care, I needed to be around people at the moment or I'd shut myself inside and never speak to anyone. I don't want that. So I pack three bags with some stuff I'll need for however long I'm going to be there for and walk to there house.

I knock on the door and Grayson opens it. "Offer still standing?" I question.

"Of course it is." He pulls me into a tight hug that neither of us wanted to pull away from, having his arms around me make me feel safe and like I'll never be hurt or alone again.

"Come in." Ethan says, picking up my bags and bringing them inside. "Luckily for you we have a spare room so you don't have to share with one of us, unless you want too." I simply role my eyes at him. "By the way, I sleep with my door unlocked." He whispers into my ear.

"I'll show your where the room is." Grayson snaps, snatching my bags from Ethan and leading me upstairs.

******

"I just wanted to thank you for letting me stay here, all things considered." I say.

"It's fine." Grayson replies. "I've got to go edit but I'll be in my room if you need me."

Being here makes it harder for all of us but it also makes things easier. I'll be able to chose quicker but seeing them both everyday, all the time will stir up emotions that I don't know if I want to feel.
