Grayson's POV

"Grayson, wake up!"

"Grayson, we are gonna be late. Wake up!" Ethan shook me awake.

"Grayson! You have 5 minutes to get ready or else we are gonna be late!" I finally woke up and got out of bed. I was so tired, I went to bed pretty late last night. I was surely going to remember last night's events and if it weren't for Nick, I would have probably gotten beat up by that drunk dude and I was extremely thankful.

"Alright, I'm up."

"Why did you sleep in my bed last night anyway?" Our beds were very small, so it must have been pretty uncomfortable for Ethan.

"I felt lonely." I just mumbled and quickly went into the bathroom, getting ready as fast as possible.

"Hurry up!"

Five minutes later, I was ready to go. I was still very tired and my back hurt. Ethan had booked us appointments for haircuts today and we couldn't miss it.

"What should we do today, Gray?" Ethan asked me as we made our way to the hair salon.

"I don't know. I'm not really in the mood for anything." I said.

"You've been acting so weird for the past two weeks. Why won't you tell me what's been bothering you?" Ethan was upset and I didn't blame him. I would be too if he didn't tell me anything.

"Just miss home, that's all. College is really getting to me and I miss Mom, Dad and Cam."

"I know that's not it. Grayson, I am your twin brother. Do you really think I don't notice it? It hurts, Gray. It really does." I couldn't look him in the eyes anymore. It hurt to see Ethan so upset over me. I would have explained to him what the hell was going on with me, but how was I supposed to do that if I didn't even know the answer to it myself? I did not know what was happening with me. It all started when Nick came into my life and it was just a big mess right now.

"I don't know, E. I really don't know. I'm sorry, okay? I don't know what's been up with me lately. I still have to find the answer to that myself." I sighed and Ethan just stayed quiet.

Ethan and I didn't talk to each other during our appointments, which made me pretty upset. After all, it was my fault and now Ethan thought that I didn't trust him.

"Talk to me, E. I'm sorry, okay?"

"Just drop it, Grayson." I sighed and dropped the topic. He was mad at me, I could already tell. This had never happened before and if we did argue, we always made up not even half an hour later. I must have really pissed him off.

"Are you mad at me?" No answer.

"Ethan, talk to me. Please." I begged him.

"I'm not mad. Just hurt." That was even worse. Imagine seeing the person who means the world to you, hurt and upset, over something you did. It was a horrible feeling.

"I wish I could tell you what's been happening with me lately, but I just can't. I don't even know it myself."

"It's fine." I knew it wasn't.

"I promise you, once I figured it out, I will tell you everything immediately. I promise, E." He stopped walking and just stared at me for a few seconds, before pulling me into his arms.

"I'm just worried, Gray."

"I know you are, E. But don't be, yeah? Everything is fine, I have just been overthinking a lot of things lately."

"I love you, Gray."

"I love you, too, Ethan."

So we just stood there, hugging each other.

"Boys!" We heard someone yell behind us. We turned around, only to see a girl, whose name we didn't know, coming towards us. And, what a surprise, Nick was there, also.

"Uhm, hey." Ethan said.

"You are...?" She wondered. People could never tell us apart.

"I'm Ethan and this is Grayson." Ethan said. Nick was just staring at me, not once did his eyes leave mine and I felt extremly uncomfortable. Especially now that he had a girl with him, too.

"We saw... Grayson at the party yesterday, but you weren't. Why is that?" My eyes widened in shock. Oh no. Ethan turned to me, confusion written all over his face.

"You must have mistaken him. Grayson and I were having a movie night yesterday." Now Nick turned to me, giving me a look as if to say "Oh... really now?" And I prayed to whatever god was out there, that I would not get exposed. I looked at Nick, shaking my head.

"Please, don't." I mouthed and he just smirked. Oh no, shit was about to go down.

"No, I'm pretty sure it was Grayson. I could tell from the earring."

"It wasn't him, Lauren." Nick interrupted her. I was probably being all suspicious, I should have been the one to try to at least deny everything, but it was Nick instead.

"Grayson was with me the entire time, so it couldn't have been him." Ethan said again and I suddenly felt really bad. Why was I such a shitty brother?

"Oh, I'm sorry. My bad." She laughed and entwined her fingers with Nicks.

"So... you guys are a couple, huh?" I pointed out and scratched the back of my neck awkwardly.

"We are! We've been together for two months now." Lauren said happily, while Nick stayed quiet.

"How... nice. We gotta go now. Bye." I grabbed Ethans hand and dragged him away with me. I needed to get away from them, especially from Nick.

"Grayson!" I heard Nick call after me, but I just wanted to go.

I was so confused. Why did it bother me so much that they were a couple? I had a weird feeling in my stomach. I just needed to get away from them.

Once we arrived in our dorm, I immediately headed for the bathroom, wanting to take a shower. Hopefully this weird feeling would go away soon.
