A Few Weeks Later

Sophia's POV

I look at my phone, staring at the number on the screen. I look around and make sure no one else is downstairs, pressing the call button.

"Hello?" Grayson answers and I smirk,

"Ah, he speaks." I say,

"Sophia?"

"Grayson."

"What do you want?" he asks,

"Like you even need to ask...."

"You want me to father your baby because Jake left?" he asks,

"No, you're a dick! You're the one that left so you can't even pull that card." I retort, "I know you slept with other girls when you were with me, why are you beating yourself up over this with my sister?"

"We weren't real."

"No, but you're welcome for making you single so you could freely cheat on my sister."

"Goodbye, Sophia."

"Wait!" I sigh, "I'm sorry... just tell me where you are."

"Goodbye." he says,

"Grayson!" I exclaim and he hangs up.

Skylar's POV

"Grayson!" Sophia exclaims, yes I was eavesdropping but I have every right.

"You've been talking to Grayson?" I walk in, "Where is he?"

"I don't know." she says,

"How long have you been talking to him?" I ask,

"I just now called him, why were you listening?"

"Why'd you call him? It's not like you care about anyone but yourself."

"Okay, harsh." she says, "You're miserable and hell bent on getting him back, I was just helping you."

"I'm not miserable."

"Please, by the time he gets back you'll already be back with him, it's only a matter of time." she says, "You're too easy to convince."

"I'm not interested in him anymore."

"No, but you're still in love with him." she says and I look at her, "You can try and hide it with Ethan but it doesn't work, you love him and it won't just go away because he did."

"If you think I love him so much, why would you take him from me so I would suffer because you were jealous of me?"

"You know, I thought that whole admitting to it would make us closer."

"It should have, but then more of the truth came out." I walk back to my room and sit on my bed. Mariana walks in,

"What's your crisis?" she asks and I look at her,

"Ethan..." I look at her, "We've been hanging out more and he really likes me, but--"

"You don't like him, I know. You can tell when you guys hang out." she says, "Can I ask why? Why don't you like him? He's an amazing guy, he likes you, he'll treat you right."

"I know and I tried liking him, I thought I did. I wanted to." I look at her, "I need to tell him, I don't want to lead him on. I don't how, though."
