Friend-Zoned

Part 15

I wake up in a different hospital room. Ethan was laying right by me, cuddling me on the bed.

I hug him a little tighter and he kisses my forehead.

" Morning.", Ethan smiles at me.

" Morning?", I turn to look out the window to see rays of sunshine gleaming through the glass.

" Yeah-", Ethan continues talking but I was trying to remember what happened.

First off, those girls tried to kill me. Then I woke up in a hospital. Some girls walked in... Katherine grabbed me... then she said something.

What did she say?

We hear the door open and I see Grayson skip in.

" Morning Ella.", he has three bags from Chick-fil-A. He puts down the bags and walks towards me. I run up to him and he gives me a hug.

" How are you?", Grayson asks as we pull away from the hug. I look down and sigh.

" I'm feeling better- I just mainly can't remember what happened...", I feel arms wrap around my waist and I turn around.

Ethan smiles, pulling me into a kiss. I kiss him back.

" Get a room!", Grayson yells. Ethan and I turn around to see Grayson covering his eyes. We laugh and he puts his hands down.

---

Grayson was watching tv on the chair, and Ethan was cuddling with me on the bed. I kiss his jaw and he smiles.

His phone starts vibrating and he reaches into his pocket.

He looks at his phone and sighs. Then he looks at me and kisses my forehead.

" I'm going to be right back...", he climbs out of the bed and walks out the door.

I nod and turn towards the tv. Grayson looks at me in the corner of my eye and he smiles.

He stands up and walks towards the bed. He climbs where Ethan had been and wraps his arm around me.

" Gray, what happened...? Earlier...", he sighs once I said that.

" I honestly don't know too much of what happened- I mean, I walked in right when the action was ending.", he looks down at me.

He looks back up, but I keep looking at him. Everything about him was perfect...

His beautiful eyes were glowing at the tv, his perfectly carved lips, his jaw...

The shadow of his jaw was making me go crazy. I see him clench his jaw and nearly faint.

I turn back to the tv and we begin to cuddle.

I mean, were just friends... right?

I've never cuddled with Grayson, I mean, I've cuddled with Ethan and trust me, I love the feeling.

I love the feeling of... feeling safe, the feeling of love, I also had the feeling that we were the only people in the world...

But with Grayson, I felt more. I just couldn't pin it. I felt safe, I felt... love? And there was something else... but I don't know what it was...

... Trust...

I felt trust, I felt friendship, I felt loyalty...

Once I left, Ethan and I had bumps on our road and we lost friendship... and I lost trust in him.

But with Grayson, I felt all of it. And before I had left, this is exactly how I felt towards Ethan...

Then I remembered-
