The Adopted One (Dolan Twins)

"You're lying"

Ethans P.O.V:

As soon as I heard the lock on the door click I pushed Grayson out of the way but hesitated to open the door. I needed to make sure Lena was okay but I didn't want to make it worse. I cared about her already and it hurt to know that something was wrong. When I saw the look on Lenas face when Betty mentioned an accident I knew Lena was fighting tears. Then Lena just ran off and I didn't know what to do. I wanted to chase after her but I barely knew her and I didn't want to make her mad. Grayson nudged me with his elbow and motioned towards the door. I placed a hand on the knob and pushed the door open. Lena was sitting on her bed crying. She had the palms of her hands against her eyes. I stepped into the room. Then Grayson followed. Lena looked up, her eyes red, tear filled, and puffy.
"Only one." She mumbled
I looked at Grayson and started to walk out of the room. Grayson grabbed my arm, turned me around, and said "I'll leave." I could tell he didn't want to go so I looked at him and tried my best to give him a greatful expression. When Grayson walked out of the room Lena told him to "shut the door" so I did. I sat down on the bed beside her. I tried to comfort Lena by putting my arm around her. She was shaking but the sound of her tears started to fade. At first she flinched and tensed a little at my touch but after only a few moments she relaxed. She lay her head down on my chest and I wrapped both arms around her.
"Are you okay Lena?" I asked softly.
"No..." Lenas voice was quiet and a little raspy.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
"..I guess.." with that Lenas tears started back up.

Graysons P.O.V:

It was hard letting Ethan talk to Lena instead of me but I knew it would be better for both of them. Lena seems to have taken a quick liking to both of us. Ethan more then me I think. Even though I wouldn't get to talk to her I could still listen in on the conversation. And so I did. They both sounded quiet and sad. There wasn't really much being said but I knew Lena would be okay. I don't know why she's so upset and I don't think Ethan does either. It must be something big that she will talk to us about when she is ready. I didn't want to be rude but I couldn't help but listen to everything. My legs started getting tired so I sat on the floor next to the door with my ear pressed against it.

Lenas P.O.V:
Ethan seemed worried about me. Everyone one did. Ethan had his arms wrapped around me trying to comfort me. I wanted to push him off but I needed this. Plus Ethan was warm and didn't hold me to tight. Ethan kept asking to make sure I was okay. Each time I answered honestly and said "No". He asked me if I wanted to talk about it and I said "No". After a minute or two of him holding me he let me go. He placed his hands on my shoulder and turned me towards him. I looked down at my feet. I wouldn't want anyone to see me like this but he moved in front if me and made me look at him
"Lena I know you're scared and I know you're upset right now but I promise everything will be okay." He said easily trying not to be to loud.
"How do you know?" I asked honestly needing his answer
"Because now you have me, Gray, Cam, mom, and dad forever." He said reassuringly
"No I don't." I mumbled so Ethan wouldn't quite understand me.
"What did you say Lena? I didn't hear you."
"Nothing." I said quickly
"No really what did you say?" He asked
"I said No I won't have you forever." I said knowing what would happen next.
"What do you mean? Of course you will!" Ethan got up and sat next to me. I was still looking at the ground.
"I mean after a little bit of time no one in your family will want me anymore. It happens every time." I whispered trying not to let my voice shake.
"Oh Lena, I'm so sorry but that's not true you're stuck with us and you have to live with it." I turned around tk set that he gave me a smile as he said it.
"You'll change your mind soon. They always do." This time as I spoke there was some anger in my voice. I could tell Ethan picked up on it because he winced at my words. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sound mad... It's just I-I don't want to get hurt again." I said quickly after so Ethan knew I wasn't mad at him.
"Lena, I know for a fact that everyone in the family wants to keep you and we only just met you." Ethans eyes looked happy when he said it. I could tell that he really did want me to be his sister but I wasn't ready to let my gaurd down.
"You're lying..." I whispered
"Stop trying to make me feel wanted. You're probably already having second thoughts about me."
"I'm not lying and I'm not having second thoughts okay Lena." He sounded hurt now. Like he was somehow upset. He continued on to say
"Lena I need you to get this in your head, okay? We. Want. You." Ethan said that last part slowly.
I looked down to the ground and bit on the inside of my lip.
"Lena.." I didn't answer him instead I started slowly swinging my legs at the end of the bed we were sitting on.
Ethan put two fingers under my chin and forced me to face him.
"Lena." My face was towards him but I lowered my eyes away from his gave.
"Lena would you look at me please"
I slowly but surely moved my eyes to look into his.
"Alright I get it. I get it okay? You. Guys. Want. Me" I said mocking him. Ethan smiled and pulled me in for hug. I was hesitant at first but then allowed him to embrace me in his arms. I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him back. Moments later Grayson waltzed in casually, sat on the bed on my other side, Wrapped his arms around me and both twins shouted "Dolan sandwich" at the same time. I looked up at the boys and giggled and they chuckled.
"I heard everything Ethan said Lena and it's true we want you. We want you to be our sister." Grayson whispered into my ear.
"Okay guys I get it you want me to be your sister and you two won't change your minds." I said
"Exactly" Grayson said
"I'm glad you finally get it." Ethan said with a silly smirk on his face. I couldn't help but laugh and the boys joined in with me.

As much as I didn't want to, I liked them. They were nice and funny. I didn't want to like them. I wanted to have a strong disliking towards them. The thing is though, I've realized already that I can't and I barely know them. They made me love them already in less then a day. I knew they were being honest now and that they wanted to be my brothers. I also knew these next few months would be tough but I was proud to say that I'm stuck with them.
