Ethan's P.O.V 

I was laying on my bed, scrolling through Netflix. Trying to find a new series to get lost in. Until I stumbled off Pretty Little Liars. By reading the captions, it seemed pretty interesting. I was about to press play until I heard a bang on my door. I groaned. It must've been Grayson. Ever since the "incident" happened, he has been acting like a shithead with himself. Has been drinking, partying, and crying 24/7 over Lauren. He sounds more like a girl on their period. Jesus. I can't keep dealing with this. I don't want this to become a routine. I got up and went to go open the door. I stood corrected. 

"Ethan!" he slurred. He was leaning on the side of my door frame, his eyes were twitching from his lack of sleep. His shirt was unbuttoned showing his body, and his scent smelled like alcohol and regret. You're probably wondering, where are my parents so they can deal with him? Well, our mom and dad divorced, causing to separate each other and breaking each of us physically and mentally. So I only had Grayson, and our sister. But she is in San Francisco with her boyfriend, and we are in New Jersey. So, life is pretty shitty right now. 

"What is it, Grayson?" I said rolling my eyes.

"LAUREN! I NEED YOUR HELP!" he said sniffling a little bit. 

"With what, dumbass? This was all your fault, dude." I said. 

"NO! IT WAS LAUREN! SHE DUMPED ME!" he said crying now, lying on the floor. I am so sick of this. I tackled and slapped him. 

"OW! What was that for?" he said rubbing his face.

" You keep blaming this stuff on Lauren! This isn't her fault! It was all you! You were the one who broke her! You were the one who made her feel like she wasn't enough for anything! And now, she is really hurt by YOU! You were the one who didn't know how to work your feeling for her! You just had to be on and off with her when you knew you were dating her best friend.  And she was just your tutor! Not just some toy, that you can just throw away after you're done! She was such a sweet, beautiful, smart, funny girl and was only made for helping you. Instead, you had to be your horny self and fuck it all up! Both your grades and relationship! So, get up, grow some balls, and get over it. Cause I know damn well that she deserves so much better than your lying ass!" I said at the top of my lungs. Grayson just stared at me in shock. He left back to his room in silence. He deserved to know this. It was the truth. While walking back to my room, I got a call. It was Lauren. I smiled silently to myself. I was so glad to know she was ok. I quickly answered it. 

"Ethan." she said. It was so nice to hear her voice again. 

"Hey." 

"Um. I got your gift." she said giggling. she is so cute when she giggles. 

"Oh. So do you like it? If you don't wanna." she shushed me on the line. which made me smile a little bit. 

"No! I loved it. And which reminds me. Can you come over please?" she said pleadingly. 

"Um Lauren, it's pretty late. It's 4 in the." I said yawning. 

"Please. I went through so much rejection today, I can't be rejected by my best friend." she said sniffling. That was like a stab in my heart. I felt so gulity. 

"I'm on my way." I said hanging up. I slide my sweats and my black shirt on and was about to leave until I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. 

"You're seeing Lauren aren't you?" he said voice cracking. I feel really bad for Gray, but this was his doing and Lauren was hurt.

"Yeah." I said hanging my head low. He put his arm on my shoulder. 

"When you come back, tell me how she is ok?" he said sniffling. I hugged him back. 

"Yeah." I locked the door and started walking.
