"So, you and Ethan."

Fuck

"Grayson, I don't want to talk about that, right now."

"Right, I'm sorry."

He looked down as he walked, while I was looking around at things quietly.

"Sarah, I'm sorry that I didn't trust you the way that I should've. I'm also sorry for turning into an asshole and putting them before you, I know it was mistake and I'm sorry."

"Grayson I-"

"No, don't say that its okay because its not. What I did was far from being okay, its unforgivable."

"Grayson."

"I know I should of threw that party that night, I knew it was just going to start something that I knew I wouldn't be able to handle."

"Oh my god, will you just let me speak?"

"Right, I'm sorry again."

'It's okay, alright? You made a mistake, people make mistakes everyday. I've made them, its okay. You're trying to fix it and I see that. You've been trying to fix your mistake what before I even came back home."

"But, I hurt you."

"And I haven't hurt, you?"

"How could you of hurt me? You didn't do anything, wrong."

"That's not what I'm talking about, Grayson."

"Then what?"

I sighed. "We almost did something a few nights ago..."

"You and E?"

"Uh huh..."

"Oh."

"And before you say anything, we didn't. It didn't happen, almost, but it didn't."

(a/n. well this would be an awkward conversation to be actually having with one of them.)

"Well, its not my business what you and him do," he smiled, but I knew it wasn't a real one. "its yours and his."

I wasn't sure what to say, I just smiled and nodded.

"So, back to my question from earlier."

"You're not gonna let that slide are you?"

I chuckled when I looked up at him, when he made eye contact he smiled a little.

"I don't know whats going on with him and I."

"Oh, well whether your together or not, I'm happy for you. He'll probably treat you better than I ever did."

That just fucking caused my heart to ache.

"I know that we're suppose to be catching up, but I'd really like to go back and see Aaron. If thats fine with you."

He shook his head. "Thats fine with me, besides I think that he really wants to see you too."

I couldn't help, but smile as we both walked back to their house.

"I'm really glad that you're back home."

"Yeah, me too." I said as I grabbed onto his arm, as we walked.

*****

"Make up, already?" Matt asked.

I shook my head, letting go of his arm as I walked up the stairs.

"No? What do you mean no?" He stood up looking at Grayson.

"Matt, Matt, Matt calm down, thats not what I meant."

(A/n. Please tell me that I wasn't the only one who thought that sounded like, "Pat, pat, pat" from the Little Einstein's)
