My BestFriend, Grayson

Chapter 32 - Could Be

Kyla's POV
My fight with Ethan had left me heart broken, not because of what happened, but because I knew what he said was right. It was all true. I had been a horrible person, not only to him but to Grayson too. I had been jumping between the two of them, I realised that now.
Grayson was what I wanted. That was it. I had finally made my decision.

I think.

Whilst I hit my head against a wall, I decided to take a shower to clear my mind. For some reason, sitting in the shower with hot water pouring onto me was my favourite way to relax and forget about my problems. However, this time, I couldn't relax. I couldn't do anything but cry. Partly because I had lost Ethan and partly because of everything I had done.
I had spoken to Beth about how I felt towards him, she said she felt bad for Grayson. She wasn't the only one. Gray was the sweetest person I knew, I never wanted to hurt him. He was my best friend and I had only just realised how much he meant to me. I couldn't hurt him, I needed to forget Ethan and our 'relationship thing'.

I had no idea what we are. Or... were.

A few days had passed, it was now November 11th. Ethan hadn't spoken to me since our fight. Maybe a few words a day, if that. Nothing like it was before. His silent treatment tore me apart, everyday it hit me harder that I had lost one of my best friends. I guess my pain was nothing compared to what I had put him through. Part of me wanted to apologise but I knew he wouldn't forgive me. Not again.
I thought a lot about him when spending time with Gray, when sleeping, when going on walks. Beth said it was natural considering they're twins. I missed Beth, part of me wanted to go home. I thought it would have been the best thing considering everything that had happened, Grayson never wanted me to however.

"Kyla, I want to watch the sunset somewhere else tonight."
"Like where?"
"It's a surprise." Gray drove for around half an hour and when we arrived, I recognised it immediately. Ethan's cliffs, our cliffs.
"Not here, Gray..."
"Why? It's perfect!"
"Just please not here!" I didn't mean to raise my voice, it just hurt to be here. The last time I had come here was the day after Ethan and I had... nevermind. I didn't want to think about that anymore. He had put it behind him and I thought I should do the same.
In the end, Gray drove us to some different cliffs. Cliffs I hadn't been to before. Watching the sunset was the only time I had with Gray in which I wasn't thinking of Ethan, as stupid as that sounds.

Everything with him had really fucked up my head about Gray and I. As I walked up to Gray, I noticed he seemed a little on edge today. He put his arm over my shoulder and we stood watching the calm waves below us.

"Do you ever think back to a few months ago?" Gray asked, leaning his head on mine.
"I try not too.."
"Why?"
"I guess a lot has happened since then, a lot that I regret."
"Do you regret coming here? Meeting me?" I looked up at him and stroked his face.
"You're one of the only things I don't regret, Gray."
"Good". He kissed my forehead, bringing me instant comfort. Looking into his eyes, I almost felt all of my worries slip away.

Almost.

"I love you, Kyla." I'd heard him say those words two or three times now, it still brought as many chills and butterflies as it did the first time.
"I love you too, Gray." He smiled at me.
"You've been here nearly two weeks already!"
"I know, it's crazy! Another two and I get kicked out the country" I laughed. His smile sunk into a smaller, sadder half smile, he sighed and held me closer.
"Watching you leave will kill me. I don't want you to go. Not now, not ever." I tried to keep the mood upbeat with half jokes.
"Well, unfortunately for you, the only way I can stay is if we get married!" He sniggered and eyerolled.
"Sorry to let you down, but I don't plan on a proposal for a while" he said sarcastically.
"For a while" I quoted and raised an eyebrow as Gray winked at me. I punched him in the arm.
"We're not even dating!"
"We could be" Gray said as he turned to face me completely and held my hands. I'll admit that those words caught me off guard a little.
"Kyla... would you.."
"What?" I said, acting clueless on purpose. He laughed and shook his head.
"Be mine. Be my girlfriend finally." I tilted my head and looked at him.
"Hmm, I'm not sure. I mean.. I guess". Thankfully Gray noticed my sarcasm, he tickled me until I fell on the floor.
He fell ontop of me, brushed the hair out of my face and bit his lip.

"You're mine now, Kyla".
"And you're mine."
"I've been yours from the beginning. You're all I've wanted since I met you." His phone vibrated suddenly.
"Ethan said he needs to talk to me."
"What about?"
"No idea, he says it's important though."

Shit.

(Sorry Kythan shippers! 🙃

Is this the end of Kyla and Ethan?😱
