I walked up to my locker as I saw Grayson standing there waiting for me with a big smile and open arms. Damn he's so cute.
"Hey babe" he says with a toothy smile
"Hey gray. I read your texts...I love you too."
"Aww well, I love you more." He chuckled.
I looked to my right and saw Ethan passing by with a frown on his face. Honestly at this point, I don't know what to do. I love gray but I like Ethan. And I feel like he deserves a chance. But it's wrong.
"Is everything alright?" He said snapping me out of my thoughts.
I knew I couldn't keep these things in my head forever while being with Grayson. So I have to let him know.
"Actually, can I talk to you after school at my place?"
"Sure...but everything is okay though right? I haven't done anything wrong..."
"NO no no you're fine gray." I said as I smiled. He really doesn't deserve this. But I can't be with someone while having some other dude in my mind. Especially if it's his brother.
***20 mins later***
I walked into class seeing hailey sitting right next to my seat.
"Hey!"
"Whats sup Alex , how's life?"
"If I'm gonna be honest, it's confusing" raising my eyes brows letting her know that I'm going through some things.
"Ugh is this about the twins?"
"Yeah..."
"Well what can I say... I did warn you. But you'll get through it." She smiled and all I could think was 'wow she's a really great friend. ' after I explained everything to hailey, she understood
"Wow well good luck with Grayson after school. And I can't believe I'm saying this but, by the way he's been treating you...please don't hurt him."
"Wow hail I never thought I'd hear those words come out your mouth" I said shockingly
"Neither did I." She rolled her eyes and smiled while walking out the class as it ended.
***skip to the end of the school day***
Ethan and I haven't talked today. We only make eye contact once in a while. Gray and I just hung out and I tried not to throw myself onto him. As much as I wanted to.
"Sooo what did you want to talk to me about?" I could tell he was really anxious and nervous by the sound of his voice. We were infront of my house driveway as I stopped us from walking any closer to the front door.
"Gray, I hope you don't hate me or think otherwise of me after I say this but-"
"Buuuut you want to try things out with ...Ethan" he said as he exhaled his twin brothers name.
"Oh umm i don't know what to say except, it's temporary?" I'm surprised he knew.
"Yeah it's fine, Ethan talked to me about it today at school. I just...I just want you to remember that I love you and that nothing will ever stop me from feeling that way towards you." WHY IS HE SO SWEET.
"I'm really sorry gray. You did nothing wrong. You're a great guy." I got on my tippy toes and gave him a kiss on the cheek. We hugged it out and made our separate ways.
" YO ALEX!" Grayson yelled from across the street.
"YEAH GRAY?!?"
He ran up up to my door where I was standing and hugged me one last time.
"Please don't forget about us, Alex."
He started getting teary and he seems really hurt.
"I won't. I promise." I could feel myself wanting to break down but I held it in.
"See you around Alex" and with that, he walked away. I hate this. Seeing him upset makes me upset. But Ethan's sad too and I can't see them like this.
