I am such a fuck up.

This whole entire time I somehow could have stopped this, marrying Heather, I could have somehow made Grayson happy and be with Jay.

But then I had to fall for Heather as well.

Jay has been there for me the whole time, yet I keep chasing Grayson's lover. I am a terrible brother. Jay acts like everything is okay and I know she is breaking, I know she has been distant from us recently. Normally all four of us would talk at school, but it hasn't been the same recently.

Everything is happening so fast.

Last year I never even thought about love, I never thought about marriage. I thought saying "I love you." Was something I said to Jay only, normally in a friendly way. Now I realized I actually had feelings for her.

Its too late now though

My phone dings sitting net to me, which snaps me out of my thoughts.

I've been laying in my bed because I'm too lazy to get up. All I've been thinking about is Jay.

I love Jay I just do.

Yes I have some feelings for Heather but she's my best friend. She is in love with Grayson.

My phone starts ringing, my mom, she's probably mad I ignored her text.

"Mom?" I asked confused why she's calling me if she's down stairs. "Where is Grayson he won't answer his phone!" She snaps.

"Probably at Heather's he is taking care of Jess." I say. She is silent for a couple of seconds.

"You are taking care of Jesse for now on." She says and hangs up.

What the fuck

I go through my contacts, scrolling, I stop at Jay.

Should I call her?

Just ducking do it Ethan.

The phone rings, my heart starts beating really fast.

"Ethan?" Her voice is soft, like always. "We need to talk, I want to be with you." I say and she is silent.

"Ethan you're with Heather-"

"Not really, we are forced to be together."

More silence.

"What do you even mean!? She would have told me!" She was angry how about how confusing this was.

"Just come over." I say and hang up.

I wake up, looking at the time in my phone.

11am

My mom called me so many times, shit.

I look over at Heather, she is asleep. Her hair and eyes are some of my favorite things of hers. She is hazel eyes but their are specs of fire in them.

I love her hair, it's a golden blonde. It's long and it's not curly or straight just wavy.

She normally doesn't try hard for school, she is just gorgeous anyway. She wears what is comfy, she doesn't apply heat to her hair that often. She just lets her be her, which I love.

She has freckles.
Not a lot, but enough.
I love freckles.

I don't want to bother her, so I scroll through my Instagram. I don't want to wake her or leave before she is awake.

"Grayson?" Her voice girls and I smile. "Hey baby." She smiles and I peck her on the lips.

That's when my notifications start buzzing like crazy.

Pages and pages of texts from Ethan.

What the fuck

I didn't even read them, I could tell the spelling was whack. Why was he drunk at 3 am?

"Oh my god Ethan." I start showing her the texts, I can see her look. I can read her well.

"What is it?" I ask her.

"I got mad at him, walking home yesterday. Before I saw you. I told him how I liked you and- he likes Jay." She said and I nodded.

He was in love with Jay, almost as much as I am with Heather. I can see how Ethan stared at her and how they lock eyes in the halls. It's a shame because I swear they were gonna marry each other.

But Ethan gets to marry the girl I'm in bed with.

"I don't want you to marry Ethan." I blurted out. She stayed silent for a while, she leaned back into her pillow.

"I don't want too either but it's compl-"

"It doesn't have to be though." I interrupted her. "We just have to convince our parents somehow." I said, she turned to look at me. Her hand caressed my jaw.

"I love you so much Grayson, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want you to be the father to my kids one day, no matter how crazy that sounds. I want to share so many memories with you and I would do anything for that."

Holy shit
Is this real
I love her

My heart started beating, I was happy inside and out. I crashed my lips into her and our fingers interlock, as she gets on top of me.

Soooo please read:
Idk I've felt like I'm starting to get away from the original storyline, because I've been writing this book on and off.

I loved the original story, but I didn't write it well in the beginning because I just started then. So I'm going to edit earlier chapters, the plot is the same just written better.

Thank you so much for the support in this book!

Please check out my other book Hush. It's a lot different and tbh I think it's better but I just released it.
