"you gotta tell him, y/n." your best friend, b/f/n, said.

"i know, but how? i mean, he's moving away. i may never see him again."

"exactly, so you need to tell him how you feel before it's too late."

you shook your head. it was too hard. you had been best friends with ethan and grayson for the longest time, and had really started to like ethan, as more than just a friend. but just last week, the twins told you they were moving across the country, to los angeles. you wanted to tell ethan how you felt before he left, because your friend was right. you may never see him again, and it would be torture to you, knowing that ethan didn't know. especially if he started dating someone.

you decided that later tonight, you'd tell him. you and your families were going out for dinner together just to say goodbye, and to make one final good memory before the twins moved away, so you decided to tell him after that.

___

you were just finishing getting ready for dinner, when your phone rang. you closed your mascara tube before answering the phone.

"hello?" you said into your phone.

"y/n? it's ethan."

"hey ethan, what's up? i'm just finishing getting ready to go."

"oh, that makes this ten times harder than."

"ethan, what's wrong?"

"um, grayson and i are going to have to cancel. we were supposed to be at the airport two hours ago, and we missed our flight to los angeles."

"what? i thought you were driving there? like with a truck?"

"our parents are, because they wanna see the city, but there's no room in the truck for gray and i so we bought plane tickets."

"so you're leaving?" you asked, your voice breaking.

"yeah. grayson and i are on our way to the airport right now."

"without saying goodbye?" a few tears rolled down your cheeks, messing up your makeup.

"i'm really sorry, y/n. i wish we could've stopped in to say bye but we don't have any time. if we don't get to our apartment at a certain time to sign the papers and everything the realtor might put it back on the market and we'll be homeless. [ a/n; does this actually happen?? lmao idk im dumb ]

the line was silent as you tried to process what ethan was telling you. he had left without even saying goodbye, and you didn't get a chance to tell him in person how you feel. 

"y/n, i gotta go. i'm driving right now, unless you want to talk to grayson." ethan said.

"yeah, let me talk to him." you mumbled, barely audible.

you heard ethan and grayson talking, and then grayson's voice rang through your speaker.

"hey, y/n. i guess you heard the news, huh?"

"yeah gray, i did."

"we're really sorry. just know that we love you, and you're still our best friend  no matter where in the world we are. okay?"

"i love you guys too. please don't forget about me."

"never in a million-"

grayson was cut off by a loud bang, and a sickening crunch that you could hear through the phone.

"grayson? what happened!" you yelled. you checked your phone to make sure you were still on the line, and ethan's name was still on your phone, so no one had hung up. you could hear faint yells, and sirens.

"ethan! ethan! someone help!" you could hear grayson screaming, and alot of banging.

"grayson!" you yelled. he must've dropped the phone, or just wasn't listening.

"y/n..." grayson finally answered, in a faint whisper.

"what's happening!" you screamed at him.

"it's ethan. someone just t boned us, and the car is on it's side."

"what's wrong with ethan!!"

"he's...y/n, he's dead."

you gasped, and didn't even flinch as your phone fell out of your hand and hit the floor, shattering. your knees gave out, and you fell down onto the floor, beside your broken phone. there was no tears, no sobs, and no noise. you just laid there, those two words flowing through your mind over and over again. the two words that you never wanted to hear anyone say, and the two words that just changed your life, forever.

you were almost able to tell ethan about your feelings for him, but now you'd never be able to tell him.

never.
