Tough Love | g.d |

Aaron and I went to many different places in just a few hours, we had lunch at a beautiful restaurant. I told him several times that I didn't want to go because I didn't dress up for it, but he took me anyways.

We stayed long enough until I begged him to go on the beach, I love walking on the beach.

(In reality, I hate going to the beach, period. I'm weird, I know.)

"So, what do you say that tomorrow we were on a cover or something?"

"I'd love to, but I can't."

"Oh? Busy with Gray or something?"

"No, Ethan."

"What're you gonna be doing with him all day?"

"Well, officially its not going to be just us, we have to pick up there sister from the airport, Then we're just gonna hang out."

"Oh, where Grayson gonna be all day?"

"I'm not really sure, he said he was gonna be out doing a few things>"

"Since we're on the topic of Ethan, I have a question, you don't have to answer it though, if you don't want to."

"What is it? You know you can tell me tell or ask me anything."

"Okay, remember how you had mixed up feelings for him?"

Alright, lets get one things straight here; yeah, I know that I was with Grayson, but my feelings were not "mixed up". I really did have feelings for E, at the time, but no one knows that, so I just nodded my head and agreed.

"How did you get over that so quickly?"

"What do you mean?"

"You did get over him right?"

"Obviously, why wouldn't i?"

"I mean, you liked it one day then the next, you were completely over him."

"That's not really how it went, but if thats how you want to see things, then go ahead."

"Wait," He stopped, and looked at me. "What?"

I glanced over at him. "Hmm?"

"Did you not get over him? Do you still have those feelings for him?"

"What? Aaron, no. I mean that it didn't happen the way you think it did, it took me a while to get over him, but I did because I knew that I wanted to be with Grayson." My words started to fade off. "Aaron, as much as I love you, I really don't want to talk about this."

He nodded and apologized.

When we got back to the Dolan household, I ran into an already dressed Grayson.

"Thank you for walking me back, Aaron." I said smiling.

"It wasn't a problem, if I didn't you're boyfriend probably would have kicked my ass."

Grayson laughed, then nodded. "He's not wrong."

"I'll see you soon?"

"I see you soon."

I smiled once more, as we both walked our separate ways, going into the house. I ended up running into Lisa.

"How was you're day with Aaron?"

"It was fun, I'm happy to be back in California."

"Thats good, I'm happy to hear it."

I suddenly felt a pair of hands, snake around my waist, I slowly tuned around to see Grayson smiling down at me.

"You ready?"

"Yeah."

"Alright, mom, we'll be back."

"Okay, sweetie. Have fun!"

"We will."

When we walked out the door, I realized that I never changed out of the outfit that I was already in.

"So, where are we going?"

"Just the beach. I know you like long walks on the beach, especially at night."

"Ooo, the beach again." I smiled at that thought.

"What do you mean again?"

"Aaron and I went to the beach either."

"Oh."

One word, two letters, somethings wrong.

"Why?"

"Nothing."

I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but I definitely can tell when someone is lying.

"Look at me and tell me that its nothing."

"I'm driving babe."

"So? You look at me all the time when you drive, good try, Bailey."

When he sighed thats when I remember that I mentioned Aaron.

There still friends, but not the way that they used to be because I completely fucked that one up. Now he tends to get jealous when he gets brought up, worse than before. But, he has every reason to be.

"Shit..." I mumbled to myself. "I'm sorry."

"For what? You didn't do anything wrong."

"Yeah, I did. I mentioned him once more, I know how you feel about it."

He shook his head, grabbing my head. He looked at me, then back to the road.

"Sarah, its fine."

"But, its really not. I know how you feel about him, but I brought him up again. I'm sorry."

"Sarah."

"What?"

"I love you."

Whatever was on my mind, vanished. "I love you too."

"Good, now shut up."

"But."

"No buts, O'Connor." He chuckled. "Besides, I kinda gotta deal with him anyways, you know?"

"Babe, common, he's one of your bet friends, he's also my best friend too even though, now we have a huge whole in the path."

I didn't say anything, I just nodded.
