Life compelled

30~Brothers

Ethan's POV

I walk into the room and see Grayson sitting at the table drinking

"Oh look at me, causing my brother to drink. Have I made that big of an influence?"

"Just shut up. You've done enough already"

He stands and starts to walk out "ok I'll just see you at the bake sale" I say looking at a magazine

He stops "what? You're going?" "Well I did make 200 pies for it so..."

He looked at me confused "oh did Bella not tell you yet? Oh right you guys haven't seen each other! Well, you guys have a lot to talk about"

Isabella's POV

I set up a table for the pies and see someone walking towards me

I look up and it's gray

I give him and hug and he kisses me on the cheek and says "we gotta talk"

I look at him concerned and anxious "about what?"

"Ethan killed Jackie and almost killed Jenny yesterday"

My anxious guilt was replaced with frustration "are you serious?"

"I know. We came back and heard screams and once we got in we saw Jackie's body and Jenny being bitten. And to make matters worse James is PISSED at Ethan, which he has reason to be"

"Oh my god. Why would he-" "I don't know. No one knows"

We look back at him

He turns back at me and asks if I could try

I said sure and walked over to Ethan

"Listen Ethan, we need to talk about what happened"

"What happened when?"

"What happened in my room last night"

"I personally don't remember anything important happening in your room last night" he turned away from me

Is he serious?

I fold my arms and say "well if you don't want to talk about that then why don't we talk about why you killed Jackie"

I saw him roll his eyes "how could you do that? She was an innocent person who did nothing to harm anyone"

"because that's who I am" he turned to me "and if you don't like it, too bad"

I roll my eyes and look over to the side in Grayson's direction

He was already looking at me when I shook my head 'no'

He put his hands in his pockets and sighed

Later in the day we went to his house

We were hanging out when I realized I had to tell him about last night

The more I held it in the more guilty I felt

We were having a great time spending time together but I couldn't just keep it from him

That's not being fair to him

"Hey uh gray I need to talk to you about last night" I start. "Jackie?" "No. Before that"

He frowned his eyebrows an leaned in, interested in what I was gonna say

I was so hesitant that I avoided eye contact

"Ethan and I...kissed"
