Torn (Ethan Dolan)

~Chapter 15~

***

Today was our last day of traveling worldwide for the twins tour. I've had more fun than I've ever had in my life. I've also been the happiest I have ever been. I don't wanna leave.

I have a gut feeling that things won't be this happy anymore. I don't know why?  I just have a gut feeling.

But I need to be in the now. I'm literally standing on a cliff with Ethan right now and we're staring over the ocean. Sam, .the twins photographer is recording an aesthetic video for the tour today. I was holding onto Ethan's hand scared shitless.

"You ready?" Ethan smiled at me. I nodded my head back and forth, fear seeping out of my eyes.

"3! 2! 1!" Ethan shouted and we both front flipped off the cliff. I resurfaced and breathed.

"Holy shit... Did I just do that?" I asked myself. I felt two arms wrap around me.

"Yes you did baby girl..." Ethan smiled at me. I turned around in his embrace and kissed him. This is the first video of theirs I'm actually gonna be in. Somehow their fans found out and got pictures so Ethan confessed.

We were back at the hotel,  getting packed to go home. I'm an idiot. It's the last day of our worldwide tour and now is the time I'm deciding to go talk to Julie. 

I knocked on her hotel room door,  Ethan is out somewhere so now is the perfect time.

"Oh hey Gray,  Ethan's not here right now..." she said.

I nodded my head, "I know... I came to talk to you." She nodded her head and opened the door more so I could come in.

"What do you wanna talk about?" she asked. 

"Look... I've noticed things have been really awkward between us ever since you called it off and started dating Ethan. I'm so sorry Julie..." I stopped. "I hurt you... I used you...  And I can tell you feel guilty... Trust me,  I take all the blame."

She looked at me and smiled, "Thank you Gray, but I also was apart of this. I agreed to this..."

We hugged after talking about it. It felt like somehow all that tension uplifted.

Suddenly something dropped on the ground behind us. We turned around to see a very angry looking Ethan.

"What did you agree to?" Ethan gritted his teeth.

"Ethan..." Julie said standing up and pulled his arm to sit down but he slapped her hand away. He slapped her hand. This is not my brother, he would never physically touch her like that. He freaks anytime a guy as much as shoves her slightly.

I stood up and pushed his chest back, "Bro! You need to calm down..."

Ethan stared me dead in the eye, "Get out..."

I nodded my head back and forth, "Calm down before you do or say anything you'll regret..."

"Get out!" he shouted. "I'll deal with you later..."

I backed out of the room, looking at Julie concerned. There was no way he would let me stay without it all coming down to a physical fight.

 ***

"Ethan. Please listen for a second..." I gabbed for Ethan's arm but he yanked it out of my grasp.

"Don't you dare touch me..." he stared me dead in the eye. "You fucked my brother..."

"That was before you even asked me out!" I cried.

"You fucked my brother!" Ethan shouted even louder.

"You know I would never do anything to hurt you!" I shouted. "I've never even looked at another guy besides you!"

"Get out! I never wanna see you again slut!" Ethan shouted at me pointing to the door.

"Ethan! Please!  I love you!" I shouted,  the tears were flowing harder now.

"Well I don't love you..." Ethan stated. "We're over."

My heart dropped to the ground and shattered across the floor. I began to cry even harder grabbing my suitcase and walking out of the hotel room.

Cameron walked out of the room right as I was leaving, "Oh my God,  Julie!  What happened?"

I looked at her and made up a lie, "Family problems. I have to go..."

I gave her a weak smile and hugged her.

"If you need anything call me." she smiled.

I nodded my head at her, "Thanks Cam, tell your parents I said bye."

She nodded her head at me giving me one last hug.

I felt empty the whole plane ride home. I knew it. Good things never last for me. I can't lose him though. I'm not giving up.

Grayson walked into my room after the bitch left.

"You're an asshole..." he shouted at me.

"You fucked my girlfriend!" I stabbed back at him.

"Bro!  Are you serious?!  She broke it off before she even knew that you would like her! She made one mistake and it wasn't even that big!  It was my fault! You called her a slut!  And you said you don't love her..." he fired back at me. "You and I both know that's a lie."

I did the first thing my body could think of and I punched him. He stared at me, shocked as he held his jaw. He didn't hit back or do anything. I just hit my brother and I hit Julie...

"Bro!  You're gonna regret this..." he told me. "Don't blame her though,  I'm the one that used her..."

After he left,  leaving me sitting on the couch rocking back and forth. I did love Julie. But she hurt me big time and I can't forgive her.

I was back home and I collapsed on my bed crying my eyes out. I grabbed Ethan's sweatshirt that he left here one night he stayed over.

I gripped the fabric,  smelling his scent. I miss him so damn much. I messed up big time.
