Tough Love | g.d |

Aaron and I both state up all night, talking about the first thing that came to our minds. I think I was only running off of coffee. I've had 3 cups of coffee, before it turned 9.

When I tuned my phone back on, message after message, missed call after call, came in all at once. A majority of them were friend Grayson, the others that weren't from him, were from Ethan.

Maybe if they thought about it long enough, instead of calling me and wondering why my phone was off, they'd know where I was.

"Damn, someone seem's important this morning." Aaron said chuckling as he walked in the kitchen.

"Not just someone, two people. They spammed my phone all night, until they must've taken the hint that my phone's off."

97 messages. 28 miss calls.

"I should probably give one of them a call back."

He poured himself a cup of coffee, nodding his head. "Yeah, that would be a good idea. There probably worried about you."

"Yeah, I understand that, but I just hated how they put me in the middle of everything, you know?"

"Tell them that."

"Don't you think I have? I did before Grayson left the room, before Ethan told me how he felt."

Before I was able to continue on, my phone rang once more. When I looked down, I seen Grayson's contact picture come up.

This time, I didn't reject it or turn my phone off, I answered.

"Hello?"

I walked outback on the patio, where it was quieter.

"Where on earth have you been? I've been calling you all night, why haven't you answered anyone? Most importantly, are you okay?"

You could hear the anger and fright in his voice.

"I'm fine, I didn't want to talk to anyone, I stayed over at Aaron's."

"Why doesn't that surprise me? 

"Excuse me?"

"Nothing."

Suddenly I heard the door opening up behind me, when I turned around I saw that Aaron walking out, to sit on the edge of the patio, just listening.

"No, stop doing that shit. You know I hate when people do that but, you still do it anyways." At this point, I was getting really irritated. "If your that jealous of Aaron, then just simply say it because lord only knows that you are."

"I'm not jealous of him."

"Puhlease, do you see the way you act when I mention him You get so uptight, you hate when I mention him let alone anyone else, you even hate when i'm with him. He's the only person other than, Ethan that I can call my best friend, Grayson. Do you not realize that I barely have any friends since I joined tour with you?"

"That's not my fault."

"I never said it was..." I said shaking my head, feeling my eyes starting to sting again.

That's when I decided that I would put the call on speaker.

"You're over there so much, you're always with him, why don't you just be with him, again?"

Aaron chuckled lightly, shaking his head at what he heard.

"What?"

"You're always with him, Sarah. It starts to make me thin about certain things that I shouldn't. Do you know how bad it hurts to see that my own girlfriend would rather be out with my friend?"

"Well, do you know how bad it hurts me to with someone when their brother just confessed his feelings for me?"

"What what?"

When I looked up, Aaron was mouthing 'ouch.'

"Eth, I know that you're in the same room as him, so you'll know that I can't keep secrets from him. You and I both know that I'm just gonna end up spilling this out, the reason I left the hospital yesterday was because I was unsure what to do or what to say, so I just left."

The line went dead.

"But, it doesn't matter anymore, you clearly think that I'm out with Aaron because you think that I have feelings for him when nothing is going on. You know, the only reason that I come here this often is because I'm able to get away, but apparently thats not enough because now Ethan, caught feelings for me."

"Sar, thats not what-"

"It doesn't matter anymore, Gray. I don't want to talk anymore."

"I'm sorr-"

He began to say something, but I ended the call, locking my phone, taking a deep breath as I looked up at the sky.

"I really don't know what to anymore.."

Honestly, since I'm just making this story up as I go, I'm not sure when to stop tbh. I just keep getting more ideas. I'm trying to get as many drafts saved up as I can so I won't forget to update or it a chapter doesn't get updated late or I won't skip a week.

Btw, thank you for the 4.6K views, that makes me really happy that, that many people have read my story.
