Two Best Friends - Dolan Twins

The Break

I'm in college now and living in an apartment with my best friend Maya.

I hear a knock at my door and yell, "It's open!!" I smile happily and open my arms wide. "Ben! What are you doing here?!"

"I'm here for you!" He says giving me a kiss. "I missed you this morning, you didn't come to study group."

Ben is my boyfriend if you were wondering. And yes, Grayson and I broke up. Ethan and Grayson are living in LA too, after they got really famous, I just couldn't handle it all. I just couldn't handle all the mistakes I made, we all made, with each other. It was so much, too much drama. It was like there was new drama everyday. Not to mention, his fans knew everything about the kiss with Eric, not sure how, but making Grayson pissed and not wanting to see me. Then we got into a whole fight because, at the time, I thought we were broken up and how he cheated on me first with my best friend. And then things happened with Ethan, who now hates me. I said some things, he said some things, Grayson said some things. At one point, Grayson and Ethan wouldn't even talk to each other for a whole 4 days, which was probably my fault. I created drama, so much drama. Too much drama. So I left, I packed up my things and said goodbye to Ethan. Telling Grayson I'd always love him, but we weren't meant to be. And he agreed. He said he had felt that way for awhile. He broke my heart, but I guess I broke his first.

"Sorry," I laughed. "I wanted some Starbucks, but there was a really long line, and by the time I got my Starbucks, it was 10:30!"

He laughs with me, slowly coming closer. "I love you so much."

My eyes widen. I didn't love him.

He notices my face and tries to take it back. "I didn't mean it. I just felt like you needed to hear something and I thought that was the thing to say." He sighs, "I understand if you want to break up with me, I just-"

I interrupt him by kissing him. I didn't want to lose him, not just yet.

"I love you too." I say smiling, yet those three words were breaking my heart inside.

After all these months of trying to forget him, I knew I still loved Grayson.

After he cheated on me.

After Eric kissed me.

After everything we've been through, I have no clue how I could still be in love with him.

I knew he wasn't still in love with me, but we needed to talk. I couldn't keep loving someone who didn't want anything to do with me.

I text Ethan,

I'm not sure if you guys deleted my number or changed it, but I hope you didn't. And if you didn't change them and you get this, please meet me at our old spot in half an hour. I'll be at the picnic table.
- Amelia

I remember that they're always on their phones, when they're at home, so I was expecting an immediate response.

So I waited.

And waited.

And I finally got a response 15 minutes later, from Grayson.

Ethan isn't coming to the spot, but I'll be there in 10.
- Grayson

I frown, I've felt bad for what I did to Ethan. I was the biggest bitch in the entire world to him, and all he ever did to me, before our fight, was be nice. I just tore him down and made him feel like shit.

I looked at the time and ran out the door, hoping I wouldn't be late.

-

I finally get there. Managing to be on time, for the first time ever.

I really needed to talk Grayson.

And there he was.

"I'm still 2 minutes early..." I say, trying to make a joke, obviously not succeeding.

"Why did you ask me here?" He says getting straight to the point.

"I just wanted to tell you that I'm still in love-"

"I have a girlfriend." He blurts out.

I feel emotionless. I don't know what to say, because he clearly didn't love me back or else he wouldn't have told me he has a girlfriend.

"I'm sorry." I say. "I shouldn't have asked to talk to you. Of course you have a girlfriend."

He looks at me confused. "I thought you were in love with Ben. That's the only reason I moved on."

I wanted to run away and go home to cry.

"That's good. You deserve way better, I was a bitch." I sigh, "I shouldn't have ever kept all those secrets from you. It was such a bitch thing to do. Typical me."

It starts raining and I thank to God because now I can start crying without him noticing.

"I'm sorry I almost slept with Abby."

My eyes shoot up at his comment. "What?" I say shocked.

"I'm sorry I almost-" He starts to say.

A tear slips out and rolls down my cheek. "I thought you slept with her?"

"Well, I just let you think that so-"

I interrupt him again, only this time it was my crying and not my words.

"I loved you Grayson." I say as I get up to go to my car, but he grabs my arm. I yank it away, "You lied to me. I hated you for so long and I hated my best friend in the entire world." I giggle a little. "And sure she turned out to be a bigger hitch than I am, but she was my BEST friend."

"I was a teenager!" He shouts back. "I was so naive. I didn't care what you happened at the time, I just wanted to get you back."

"After all this time. After all this time Grayson, I still thought I loved you." I turn around, about to start walking. "I guess I was wrong."

He grabs my arms and turns me around.

"I just needed to hear you say it." He says kissing me.
