Two Best Friends - Dolan Twins

The Drive

Grayson's POV
Me: Where are you? We need to talk. I love you, it wasn't want it looked like. I'd never do that to you. You're the only person I've ever loved this much. Come over and we can talk :) <3
Amelia: Really tired. Talk tomorrow?
Me: Sure. Love you! Good night babe.
Amelia: Night.

She didn't say she loved me back. Weird. "Ethan!! Can you come in here for a second!" I yelled. I needed answers. Fast.

I heard two knocks and then my door opened. "Hey. What's up?" Ethan says, looking me in the eyes.

"Amelia gave me note saying she wants to keep trying with us, but now she doesn't even want to talk. Do you know anything? You guys are pretty close, right?"

"She wrote you a note too?" He hands me his note and I pass him mine. "She really loves you man. You're so lucky, and you messed it all up with Abby." He frowns at me.

I sigh, "Oh I know, I suck as a boyfriend and a person. How could I do this to her?"

"At least she didn't walk in on you guys." He laughs and I frown again and shake my head. "What the hell man!! You actually had sex with Abby?! We broke up like yesterday! That's so not cool dude. So not cool."

"Oh my god I know!" I run my hands through my hair. "I lied to her too! I told her it wasn't what it looked like!"

I heard a ding and looked at my phone, but there weren't any notifications on it. It must've been Ethan's phone. "Who is it?" I ask him.

"Its Amelia's mom."

"Why is she texting you? Shouldn't she be asleep by now? It's like 9:30pm."

"Grayson." He looks me, rolls his eyes and shakes his head. "She's texting me about where Amelia went. And she's not 70, it's Friday for God's sake."

"What is she saying?!"

"Wouldn't you like to know asshole. She won't doesn't want to see you anytime soon. And it's probably why she left town."

"Ethan! Where the hell is she? I have a right to know, I'm still her boyfriend you know."

"She's in Cincinnati. But DO NOT tell her I told her. I still want her to be my friend, even if she isn't your girlfriend anymore after this."

"Fine I won't." I grab my car keys and yell to my parents that I'm going to go to Amelia's and I'd text them the details later. "Don't you want to come with me to Cincinnati though?"

"You're going after her? After everything that's happened today? Do you even think she wants to talk to you, or even me?" He asks me, being 100% serious and truthful.

"Hey. It's worth a shot, and she's worth a million shots. I'd go after her every time."

"Well, when you put it that way, lets go I guess." He tells me, "I think she's staying with her old friend Eric from school."

"Are you serious?" He gives me a confused look. "As in Eric Kaser? Her ex boyfriend?!"

I race to my car and Ethan follows me, getting in the passenger seat. "Her mom gave me the address awhile back because we took a road trip last summer with Cameron and we stayed there." He sighs, "He's not a bad guy, Gray, he probably didn't even touch her. It's been 4 years since they dated and she's totally in love with you. Don't doubt her."

I pouted, "What if she's trying to get back at me?"

"She's not like you, now drive." He demands, "It's already 10:00pm and we're gonna get there at 7:00am if we start now."

9 Hours Later

Amelia's POV
"Eric?" I ask. Sarah lent me some of her clothes that she said I could wear until I go shopping next, but I really didn't want to keep asking her for clothing. They've been really nice, so I don't want to overstep any boundaries.

"Yo. What's up?" He responds.

"Do you wanna go shopping with me, today? I would ask Sarah, but she's at Amy's house. So will you please??"

He looks down and does he thinking face, then looking back up at me, "Do I have to? Can't you just ask my mom? She's a great shopper, way better than I am."

I grab my car keys off the shelf and grab Eric's arm. I yell bye to his parents before we leave, letting them know where we were going. "What happened to the old Eric? You always used to go shopping with me."

"Well at the time I was dating you, so I had to say yes." He laughs and I do the same.

"You're such a douche." I laugh, but this time pushing his shoulder playfully.

I start the car and begin to back up, only ending up slamming my foot on the brakes. I get out of the car and look to see who was blocking me in.

"Hey baby, I've missed you." He says.

"Grayson? What the hell! Why are you here because I certainly did not invite you." I yell at him.

"Your mom told us where you were last night and we drove all night to get here."

"Us? Who is us?" I swear to god if Abby came with him, I'm gonna kick her ass.

"It's just Ethan. Why aren't you excited?"

I roll my eyes at the stupidest question ever. "Hmm... I don't know Grayson, maybe because YOU WERE HAVING SEX WITH MY BEST FRIEND YESTERDAY WHEN I SPECIFICALLY ASKED YOU IF YOU LIKED HER!!"

I get back into the car, making sure to slam my door. "Still want to go to the mall?" I ask Eric.

"Do you?" He always makes sure to think of others first.

I hum a yes. "Do your parents mind if I drive on the grass?"

He laughs, then stops, realizing that it wasn't a joke. "Um, probably not..."

I put the car in drive and roll down the window. I throw out one of Grayson's hoodies that I kept in here, in case I got cold or just wanted to think of him.

"I know how you feel, my girlfriend cheated on me too. Except it was with a freaking chess club nerd." Eric tells me.

"Try your best friend." I say back.

We pull into mall parking lot. And Eric was first to break the silence. "Where to first? I'll pay for this one. You deserve it."

I wrap my arms around him and whisper 'thank you' to where he could only hear. I'm so glad I have him as my friend.

Friend?
