Tough Love | g.d |

e l e v e n

The next when I woke up, my phone was repeatedly going off. When I clicked on my home button, I saw a ton of twitter notifications.

Someone posted the recored video of Aaron and I singing last night.

Since it was only posted 3 hours ago, it was everywhere, literally. It was on Instagram, too.

I scrolled down the huge list of comments that were there and that were still coming in. I'm surprised that so many people liked my voice. I'm also surprised of how little hate comments there were.

A majority of the comments consisted of people asking if I was going to start making more duet videos with Aaron.

I stopped smiling when I read the comment, "Grayson must be so proud of you, Sarah."

Grayson... Grayson doesn't know that I can sing.

I slowly got out of bed, making my way down to the kitchen only to find Ethan making breakfast for himself.

"Morning sleeping beauty. Grayson said that he would be right back. He had to run to the store real quick."

"Thats fine."

"He also said that he needed to talk to you about something when he returned, it sounded serious."

"Oh, okay. Well, did he happen to of say what it was about?"

"Nope but, I have a pretty good idea though," He said cracking an egg. "if its the something that I saw on twitter this morning, then I'm pretty sure thats what he's going to talk to you about."

"The video of Aaron and I?"

"Just wait until he gets ba-" He started to say but, we both heard his car pull up in the driveway. "Looks like we get to find out whats going on."

After he says that, I walked outside meeting Grayson carrying in some groceries.

"Morning babe."

"Ethan said you wanted to talk about something, whats up?"

"Yeah about that, why didn't I know that you could sing? Scratch that, why was I the last person to find out and when I did, I found out through a video on twitter. What happened last night?"

"Babe, we just went out skating. But, we got bored of that, so we laid down and watched the stars but, he thought it was a good idea to sing something that I knew, so I felt comfortable enough to sing along to it. Nothing too exciting."

"Nothing too exciting? My girlfriend can sing, with an amazing voice. Babe, this is more than exciting news. But, why didn't you tell E or I about this? Why did we have to find out by a video? Are you that embarrassed of something?"

"No, no of course not. Being embarrassed has nothing to do with this, I was afraid of being judged, again. My family never had any faith in me so I made a vow with myself not to let anyone in on that secret. Due to my own family not having faith in me I have up on this dream but, I still kept the vow to not let anyone in on it. I'm sorry that you found out that way. Being judged by people is one of my biggest fears, which triggers off my anxiety," When I said that, Ethan's head popped up. "but, singing with him felt so great. What made everything better was when we finished and hearing all of those people just applause us."

"Sar, we would never judge you for something that you love to do or in general. We would never judge anyone. If singing is something that you've always had a passion for then don't let anyone stop you, not even your family. Have faith in yourself, thats the only faith you need. The people that don't have faith in you, just lost out on someone that has an amazing gift," E said.

"He's right. If you have a dream, don't push it off. But, hey its more than okay," He said with a reassuring smile. "but, could we make a vow of our own?"

"Yeah but, what though?"

"Lets vow to always be honest with each other, even if someone ends up hurt out of it?"

I smiled, nodding my head. "I can do that."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah."

"Good. So can I." He chuckled. "So, whats the plan? Are you going to continue letting people hear your amazing voice because I know that those people are going to keep bugging you until you do something, trust me." He chuckled once more.

"I for sure want to but, I don't want to do it alone."

"Then, you don't have to. I'll talk to Aaron and see if you two can start something. I'm sure he won't mind."

"Thanks for the offer babe but-"

"Sarah common, why are you pushing this off?" Ethan said joining in again.

"If you'd let me finish my sentence, I was going to say, thank you for the offer but, I'm going to go talk to him myself and see what he says."

"Oh, right, sorry."

"Well, do you want one of us to drive you over?"

"Nah, I think I can handle it from here but, I want to say thank you for not doing what everyone else did when I was younger, it means the world. I love you guys." I said hugging them both.

"We love you too." They said in sync.

When I got to Aaron's place, I didn't even knock because, well who knocks these days? You know? You just walk in.

"So,  Grayson saw the video, he knows. He knows about everything, I came clean with him. Before you interrupt me, he said he's okay with it. I don't know why I didn't just tell him from the start, I knew him nor Ethan would of judged me," I shook my head, not wanting to get off topic. "Anyways, I came over to see if you wanted to start something."

"You want to start doing music with me?"

"No, I came over to ask if you wanted to make brownies together." I said sarcastically. "Yes, I want to start doing music." I laughed, which made him laugh in return.

"Watch it, wise ass." He said in between small laughs. "So, is this something that you are for sure that you want to do? Because it honestly sounds like it would be fun."

"I mean, I'm comfortable singing around you, so yeah. I want to start with someone that I'm going to be comfortable around."

"Really?" He said in complete awe.

"Yeah, believe it or not, last night was amazing. I wouldn't take any of it back."

He smiled. "This is how its going to work, next week I'm going to be doing a cover of Cold Water, do you want to get started from there? Do you know the song?"

"It's a Justin Bieber song, of course I know the words. I've been a fan of him since like forever. Just text me the time and date and I'll be there."

"Okay, sounds great."

"This excites me. I never thought in a million years that I would be sitting in front of someone, who's gonna help me get started on something that I've always wanted to do since I was younger. I can't thank you enough, Aaron."

"Eh, don't sweat it. I'm glad that I could help."

"Well, you should text me later or whenever you can, the time and date. I should head back and let them know whats going on." I said walking towards the door with him nodding in agreement.

*****

When I walked through the doors of the twins place and ran to Grayson giving him the biggest his. 

He picked me up and spun me around while hugging me.

I can't believe this is finally happening...

────────────

I made it the point where I actually wanna be Sarah. I mean common. She's in a relationship with Grayson Dolan. She's best friends with Aaron, Matt & Ethan. She's on (went) the 4ou tour and is now making covers with Aaron.

Whats not to be jealous of?
