Tough Love | g.d |

f o u r t y f i v e

If you seen me, you would say that my eye looked really painful, but if we're being honest. It doesn't. It's so numb, that it doesn't hurt. 

I'm not covering it. I don't want people to think that I'm ashamed or afraid of the person who did it. 

My wrist was still bothering me. It's still red, you can even see the finger prints going all the way around it. 

But, none of that competes to what was really bothering me, which is Grayson. 

Something is bothering him to the point where he won't even talk to me about it. He didn't even sleep in the same room as me last night, which was surprising after what happened. Normally he would've stayed up all night watching over me. 

Whenever I would walk into one room, he would walk right out.

It was really starting to annoy me. 

(A.n. What doesn't annoy you, Sarah?) 

I walked into the living room and sat next to him and just as I thought, he got up and left the living room. 

"What the hell did I do to him?" He's been giving me the cold shoulder lately and I don't know what I did." I asked Ethan as I watched Grayson walking away. 

"Honestly, I don't know. He hasn't said much to me, either." 

"Yeah, well at least he stays in the same room with you for more than a solid minute." I shook my head. "I don't understand what I did to him. He wouldn't even sleep in the same room as me last night."

Ethan nodded in agreement. "I don't know, Sar."

When I looked up, I saw that Grayson was standing in the door way. I nudged Ethan's arm, to get his attention then I nudged my head in Grayson's direction. 

He was on his phone. The conversation that he was having must've been serious because he didn't take his eyes off the screen.

"What's wrong, Gray?"

Instead of answering me, he just shook his head and then tossed the phone at me. 

"What the hell?" When I grabbed the phone, I looked down at the screen with Aaron's name across it. I put the phone to my ear and I could hear Aaron bitching.

"Hello?" 

Ethan looked at Grayson who had walked out of the room, once again. Then he looked back at me.

"What the hell is the matter with you?"

"Excuse me?"

"Oh, don't play stupid with me, Sarah."

"I honestly don't know what the hell you're talking about, Aaron." I said confused looking at Ethan. Suddenly, I stood up and walked out to the balcony, shutting the door.

"You and Ethan, really?"

"What? Where the hell did you hear that?" I started laughing, but then stopped when I saw Grayson in the window from the kitchen. "Nothing is going on between Ethan and I."

"Just save it, Sarah." 

"No, listen to-"

I began to say something, but I was cut off when the call ended.

When I went back inside, Ethan was standing there. "What happened?" 

"I don't know," I walked in the kitchen when Grayson was and threw his phone at him. "how about you ask your asshole brother?" I said pissed off. 

"What?" Ethan stopped looking at me, then looked at Grayson.

"What the fuck did you do, Grayson?"

"Will someone tell me what happened? "

"Tell him, Gray." I crossed my arms across my chest. "Tell him how you told Aaron and everyone else that something was going on between Ethan and I." 

"Dude, what the hell is your issue?"

"Don't bother, Eth. He isn't gonna talk to either of us." I said as I walked away a little bit. "He says he misses the way that things used to be? Yeah, well that ain't gonna happen if he's ignoring us."

I went in the other room sitting by the window listening to Ethan, trying to talk to him.

Grayson's Pov

I wanted to blurt out how I was feeling, but then I didn't want to talk to nether of them at the same time.

Wen they hugged the other day, it felt like more than just a friendly hug. I could be just over reacting, but they've both got history. Not dating history, but feelings for each other.

She "says" that she got over him, but I feel like he's defiantly not over her because what guy would be over her?

Just like Wes. I know for a fact that, thats the only reason why he came back to town, just to win her back. It's like I have to win the fricking hunger games for my own girlfriend.

"Ethan, will you shut the fuck up?" I yelled, trying to get him to shut up, but he wouldn't. 

"Wow, so he does speak after ignoring his girlfriend for the last couple days." 

"Just shu-"

"Shut up? Like what you've been doing to her for the last few days?" I saw him, pointing in towards where Sarah was at.

"What is it to you? What happens to my girlfriend isn't any of your business, Ethan."

"You're right, you're 100 precent correct, but it is my business when she needs someone to run to when her boyfriend isn't there for her when she needs someone the most. Now, her best friend isn't gonna be there either because he things that she's out with me, behind your back."

"He's been more of a boyfriend to me than you have been for the last 36-48 hours, than you have Grayson.."

We both turned around when we heard her voice. The way she said that, it made my heart ache.

"You call yourself a boyfriend? Grayson, a boyfriend doesn't ignore there girlfriend for 3 straight days. Grayson, we're gonna fix this until its fixed, if your gonna choose not to talk to me then, thats your fault, I'm trying to fix this, I want this to work, I need you in my life."

She said walking towards me.

"I know whats bothering you and I don't know how many times I have to tell you this, Ethan is a great guy, I'm not gonna lie about that. Yeah, I did have feelings for I'm but," Her hand reached out, grabbing mine. "he's not not, you know that there isn't any other guy that I'd rather be with."

I wanted to look at her, but I couldn't. Instead I kept my head down, slowly nodding.

"Right," She chuckled under her breath, as se slowly let go of my hand backing up. "why did I think that you would actually talk to me?"

When I looked up, it was too late to say anything because she had already walked out of the room. I looked over at Ethan who was shaking his head.

"Don't make me fucking say it."

"Say what?"

"You are such an idiot, go after her."
