My BestFriend, Grayson

Chapter 16 - Tension

"Hey E" I entered his room, closed the door quietly and sat on the end of his bed. "What's up?"
"I can't sleep, too much on my mind".
"Wanna talk about it?"
"Sure" he patted the empty space next to him, signaling me to sit beside him. I laid under the duvet with him and asked what's wrong.

"I want to be honest with you and I can't think of a better way to tell you other than just blurting it out".
"Ethan, you can tell me anything, you know that".
"Kyla, I like you. That's it. That's why I've been so interested in what you and Gray have got going on." He looked at me, hoping for some sort of response. Our eyes met. Ethan made me feel differently than Gray. I don't know how to explain it. There's just something about him that makes my heart melt.

"I want to spend time with you. I want you to see me for me. I know Gray likes you, but I just want you to give me a chance. I know I'm stupid for thinking I'm good enough for you but-..." I put my finger on his lips.
"You're more than good enough. You're too good for me. What are you even saying?!" He put his hand on my cheek.
"Spend the day with me?" I agreed.
"Kyla, will you stay until I fall asleep?"
"Sure" I smiled.

He rested his head on my chest and I played with his hair until he fell asleep. Now I had only one problem, I couldn't leave. I was stuck in bed with a sleeping Ethan laid on my chest. Not that I really wanted to leave anyway. Staring at Ethan, I couldn't help but ask myself why both Twins would like me at the same time. Why me? What made me so special? They have nearly 5 million fans yet they BOTH wanted ME.

The next morning I woke up in Ethan's bed. I didn't remember falling asleep nor could I remember him leaving, but when I woke, he wasn't in bed. I threw the duvet off of me and left Ethan's room. I turned around to see Grayson stood behind me. He didn't look happy.
"Hey Gray" I said awkwardly acknowledging the fact I just came out of his twin brother's room.
"Is Etha-..."
"He's working out in the Warehouse." He sounded annoyed.
I nodded, walked past him and heard him sigh. "Great" I whispered. Now Gray's pissed at me. I rolled my eyes at my stupid mistake.

Grayson's POV
Seeing Kyla walk out of E's room hurt. It did, I'm not going to deny the fact. She spent yesterday with me, I told her how I felt. We kissed for gods sake! And now Ethan's trying to take that away from me. This always happens. Everyone uses me to get closer to him! He always gets the girl I like.
Kyla means everything to me, if it's war he wants, I'm game. I'm not losing her.

Kyla's POV
Walking into the Warehouse, I found Ethan lifting weights. I'll admit that I stood watching a little longer than I should have.
"Enjoying the view?" Ethan laughed, dropping a weight on the floor.
I snapped out of my day dream. "Yeah, you wish".
He came over to me, wrapped his arms around my waist and held me.
"You get any sleep last night?"
"Well considering I was kinda stuck in bed, yeah" I joked. There was a moment of silence as we looked into each other's eyes.
"Sorry" he sighed.
"For what?" He lifted my chin then leant in.
Suddenly Grayson walked in and Ethan shot backwards. There was an awkward silence for a few seconds.
"I need to talk to you, Ethan" Gray said sternly.
I decided to remove myself from that situation to shower and fix my face.
