When I woke up, Grayson wasn't in bed with me. Normally that doesn't bother me, but right after he was in a fight the night before, it kinda bothers me.

When I went downstairs all I could hear was Ethan's stream of questions.

"Wait, who the hell is this guy and who does he think he is to think that he can do this to you? Common Grayson, what the hell."

Grayson couldn't even get a single word in without Ethan interrupting him, so thats when I went in where there were at, interrupting Ethan.

"This guy happens to be my ex boyfriend, and no, I don't know what happened to him, he was never violent when I was with him."

"Whats his name?" He asked. "Where did this happen? I'm gonna find and -"

"And do what? Huh? Get your ass kicked like Grayson did? No, you're gonna stay away from him, I mean that Ethan."

"No, I can just sit back and act like nothing happened."

"I didn't say that you had to."

It was for sure too early to be arguing, especially about this.

"Well, the way your acting you act like you want me to to just pretend that this never happened."

"Alright, you know what? If you want to go out and pick a fight with him too, then go ahead. But, if you come back, fucked up like him, then I don't want to hear it. I don't want to see you get hurt by him the way that he hurt Grayson and what he did to me. You're one of the last people that I don't want to see hurt, Ethan. Why can't you see that?"

Mine and Grayson's eyes locked with one anthers, before I walked out of the room.

"Wait, what did he do?" His voice only grew louder as he followed behind me. "Sarah, what did he do to you?"

His jaw tightened.

"It's nothing."

"You said that he wasn't violent towards you, was that a lie?"

"What? No, that wasn't a lie, why would I lie about that?"

"Then, what did he do to you?"

I haven't even been up for 10 full minutes yet and we were already arguing about this.

"Babe, common." He said trying to grab my hand, but I pulled my hand back. "Don't start with this Sarah."

"Are you really telling me not to start? I haven't even been awake for 10 solid minuets yet, and I'm already fighting with you and him out something as stupid as this?"

When I looked up at him, thats when I noticed where Ethan was standing.

"I didn't want to wake up and have this discussion with neither of you. I hate talking about my past life, but apparently thats important you."

"Why? What did he do to you that was so bad that you feel like you can't tell me what happened?"

"Grayson, common, don't force her to talk abut something that she doesn't want to talk about, back off."

The more that they spoke about it, the more that it ate my insides alive. I bit the insides of my cheek.

"No, don't tell me to back off of my girlfriend."

"He cheated on me." I choked out.

"What?"

Ethan just shook his head, hearing what I had said.

"He. Cheated. On. Me." I said one word at a time, in a louder tone. "Do I need to repeat myself?"

The more that I thought about it, the more tears that came.

"He cheated on me with my best friend, well I thought she was my best friend, but it turns out that I was wrong. I ended up walking in on it happening." At this point, I was a mess. "There, I told you, happy?"

I walked away, going outside slamming the door as I went out.

Ethan's Pov

"You know, you're a dick sometimes."

"Excuse me?"

"I knew that something worse than abuse must of happened, you're suppose to be her boyfriend, your suppose to know these types of things, not me."

I pushed him back causing him to call back on the couch, before I walked out of the house looking around for Sarah.

There relationship was like a really rocky road, there was so many bumps, I lost count.

"Sarah." I yelled out looking round until I heard sniffling coming from out back.

"Go away, Eth.."

"No, I wont."

"Why?"

"Because you shouldn't be alone, right now, let alone ever. So, i'm gonna stay out here with you."

"If I stopped crying, will you go away?"

"How about no?"

She sighed as she rested her head on my shoulder.

"Ethan?"

"Yeah?"

"Does Grayson still love me?"
