Hero // Ethan and Grayson Dolan

chapter 15 ~ running away

I told him everything.

About my phobia, about Ethan thinking he's the dad, about my panic attacks - literally everything.

It took me about fifteen minutes, and right now I'm cuddled up next to him.

"You're so brave." Grayson whispers in my ear. He traces gentle circles on my forearm with his pointer finger.

"I don't feel like it." I say between soft sobs.

"Well you should. Keeping this baby while-"

"I'm home!" We hear Ethan's voice from the door. Shit. You'd think we learnt from our mistakes.

I spring up and exit Grayson's room as fast as possible, not even looking back at him to give him the all clear. I scramble into the kitchen and return to my spot on the couch where I was sitting before Ethan left.

"I went to the bathroom." I assure him.

He smiles gently. "I got all the ingredients! I'll have breakfast ready in no time!"

...

I hung out with Ethan all day.

What was I supposed to do? He was home, and I can't go near Grayson when he's around. I'm so thankful Gray understands.

It's currently 2:17am. Ethan's fallen asleep in his bed, and I'm awake, on my phone, sitting at his desk. I decided not to get in with him, so I could sneak into Grayson's room once he had fallen asleep. Which is what I'm about to do now.

I place my phone on his desk, and tiptoe out of his room as quietly as possible. Luckily his door is open slightly, so I'm able to open it just enough without making any noise. I slip my body through the narrow space and make my way over to Grayson's room.

"You awake?" I whisper.

"Of course."

I walk through the darkness of his room and slide into bed with him, laying on my side and wrapping my arms around his warm body.

"As I was saying before I got cut off," He says quietly. "You're very brave keeping this baby. I understand how hard this must be."

God I love him. I stare up and admire his perfect jawline, before shifting my eyes up to his lips.

"Kiss me." I whisper, not looking away.

Grayson looks straight down at me and cups my face. "Whatever you say." He smirks, connecting his lips with mine instantly.

He kisses me fast, tugging on my light pink tank top, indicating for me to take it off. I obey his order, breaking the kiss.

"I love you." I whisper.

He rests his forehead on mine, and runs his fingers through my hair.

"Well, I love you more." Grayson replies.

"Not possible." I giggle quietly, connecting our lips once again. He continues to kiss me fast, and lets out soft moans every once in a while. I break the kiss and push down on his shoulders, causing him to lie flat on his bed. I lay on top of him, and we continue.

"Can you fucking tell me what this is?"

Grayson and I get scared and jump in shock, instantly breaking away from each other. We sit there, panting. Holy shit.

Ethan stands at the door, holding my phone in his hand - with a picture of Grayson and I kissing from the beach on my screen. His eyes are welling up with tears.

"How could you?" His voice quivers.

I open my mouth to speak, but no words come out. "You weren't supposed to find out like this." Grayson cuts in.

Tears start to stream down my face. No no no this can't be happening-

Ethan drops my phone on the floor with a thud. He wipes his eyes with his hand, and points his finger at me. "How long has this been going on for?" I can tell that he can't stand to face me right now - but he wants answers.

"Since I met Grayson." I need to tell him the truth from here onward. I've done enough to hurt him. No more lies.

His jaw drops, and he heads straight to his room. My heart is pounding so loud, I swear Ethan could hear it the entire time.

Grayson and I look at each other. He isn't crying, but boy am I. I spring up and rush over to Ethan's room, where his light is on.

He's got his suitcase out - and he's packing it.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!" I yell.

"Getting out of here." Is his simple answer. He stares at me sadly, with a tear stained face.

"WHAT? WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!" My voice stays raised. He's making a big mistake.

Ethan zips up his suitcase and throws on a black t-shirt. "None of your business."

He walks past me without saying another word, brushing my shoulder as he drags his suitcase behind him.

"I love you so much Ethan don't leave. I can't lose you." I follow him into the kitchen.

"You don't love me. You're a fucking liar." He snaps, stopping in his tracks and turning to look at me.

"I do love you, I love you with all my heart. I just love you and Grayson in two different ways."

"Oh yeah? You don't love someone if you feel the need to fuck his twin brother ... behind his back."

"You saved my fucking life Ethan. I need you. I love you. You are my best friend in the whole world." The tears are uncontrollable.

"I love you too, and if you wanted to just be best friends, I would've been happy. I'm fine with that Brooklyn. But you go behind my back ... with my twin brother? Don't tell me for two and a half fucking months? I'm out of here."

My mind races as I try to think of another excuse to stall. "What were you doing on my phone in the first place?"

But the door slams. He's gone.
