My BestFriend, Grayson

Chapter 33 - Accidents

Arriving back at the Warehouse, I found Ethan in the kitchen drinking. He wasn't drunk, but definitely tipsy enough to be able to tell.
"Ethan, bro. What're you doing?!" Gray shouted as he grabbed the bottle from Ethan's hand.
"I gotta talk to you, in private." Ethan replied whilst glancing at me. Gray grabbed Ethan's arm and pulled him into his room.

I began feeling sick, I had a feeling Ethan would be telling Gray about what happened. I knew Gray wouldn't forgive me, especially for keeping it from him and then agreeing to be his girlfriend. At the same time, I was scared to tell Ethan I was now dating Grayson. I shouldn't have been, considering Ethan and I were a thing of the past now.

After about 5 minutes, I heard something smash in Ethan's room. Grayson came storming out, crying and angry. Ethan followed, telling him to calm down. Gray shoved Ethan away from him and punched a wall, crying.
"Why?!" Grayson shouted. I stood up from the couch, realising Ethan must have told him what happened.
"Gray, I can explain! Ethan and I made a mistake and I'm sorry. It only happened once, I swear!" Grayson turned to face me from a few feet away.
"What only happened once?" He stopped sobbing, his voice was just pure anger and confusion now. I looked over at Ethan, who was stood behind Gray, and saw him shake his head.
"That's what this is about, right?" I asked confused. Gray stepped forward with clenched fists.
"What only happened once?!" he shouted. He turned to see the guilty look on Ethan's face and then back at me.

"You two? I don-... You fucked, didn't you?!" I hung my head, I couldn't say anything whilst Grayson was this angry. He walked over to me and grabbed my shoulders, I don't think he realised how hard he was grabbing however.
"Kyla, tell me you didn't..." his voice turned from anger to hurt as he began crying again.
"It was once." Ethan tried helping. Gray turned to face him once more, he stopped crying again.
"Once? Fucking once?! Oh well rainbows and fucking unicorns all around then. She's my girlfriend!"
"She's not!" Ethan shouted back at him.
"Yes she is! She agreed to be with me today." Ethan looked over at me, hurt.
"Well she wasn't when I fucked her." Grayson turned to me once more.
"When?" I couldn't reply. I wanted to cry. I wanted to throw myself out a window there and then.
"When, Kyla?!" he raised his voice again.
"Bonfire night..." I sniffled.
"So you fucked him and then agreed to be my girlfriend?! I never thought you, of all people, would do this to me, Kyla. I guess I never really knew you."

He let go of my shoulders, walked over to his car keys and tried walking out of the Warehouse door. Ethan stood infront of him.
"Gray, please don't go!" I pleaded.
"My fucking Dad just died because of his cancer and now this shit! I need to leave." My heart just broke. I had no idea about what happened, I'd messed everything up. I wanted to hold him, he'd just lost someone he loved and I couldn't help.

"Gray, please! I love you!" He stopped, turned to face me, walked over and started stroking my face.
"I love you, I always have. It's always been you, Kyla. But you can't seem to pick between me and my own brother."
"I want you, Gray. Please, don't go. I need you." A tear rolled down my cheek.
"Do you really? Or are you just going to jump into bed with him the second I turn my back again?" He sounded sarcastic and angry again.

Ethan tried grabbing the keys from Gray's hand.
"Gray, you can't drive while you're like this! This is how accidents happen!" Grayson swung at Ethan, punched him in the eye, walked out of the door and got into his car. I watched him out the window, he looked at me and I saw tears flooding down his face before he started the engine and drove away.

I ran over to Ethan who was laid on the floor, half in shock and half in pain.
"Ethan! Ethan, are you okay? Let me see!" I moved his hand from his eye. It was already puffing up.
"Ethan, I'm so sorry.." I began to cry again. He wiped away a tear from my cheek with his thumb.
"Don't cry, it's okay. I've got you." He pulled me into a teddy bear hug and held me tightly. It felt like a lifetime since I'd been in Ethan's arms. I missed him.
"Why're you always trying to be the good guy?" I sniffled.
"You know why.." he laughed then squinted at the pain.
"I don't. You're just a good person."
"I told you I'd protect you, no matter what. Please, don't cry." He stood up and laid down on the sofa.

"It's not the first time he's hit me. He's got a temper, not that he loses it often." I sat beside him.
"So you're dating now?" he sounded hurt again. Ethan looked at me with eyes filled with pain and slight tears.
"Don't look at me like that, E. We haven't properly spoken since our fight..." He sighed and we were met with silence.

"I'm sorry about Sean..." I broke the silence.
"Thankyou. I've already done my crying, he wouldn't want us to be upset. He'd want us to muscle on."
"Will... will Grayson be okay?"
"Your boyfriend will be fine, don't worry." He sounded slightly sarcastic.
"Stop calling him that."
"What? Your boyfriend? Why? He is."
"I don't think so... I highly doubt he'd still want me after everything."

"Why? I still want you after everything."
"Ethan..."
"You just straight up said you wanted him infront of us both, you broke my heart, we've had countless fights... but you're all I want. I guess it doesn't matter how much someone hurts you, you look past it. People act stupidly when they're in love."
