Unbreakable Past || G. D.

Ethan's POV:

I wake up by the sound of Grayson taking something downstairs.. "What the hell are you doing? Its 6 am, you are making a lot of noise!", I say. 

"I needed to take Gizmo's cage here, she doesn't like Emily".

I roll my eyes, "nobody does", I murmur. 

"What?", he asks a little mad. 

I laugh a little, "you know it's the truth Gray. I seriously never though you would do something as stupid as leaving Emma for that psycho bitch". 

"Emily is not psycho". 

I look at him directly, "Yeah... keep telling that to yourself". I take a deep breath. "By the way, what the hell happened yesterday? Emma literally ran out of the house". 

He takes some seconds to answer, "I... I don't know man...", he says starting to walk away. 

Before he leaves the room I decide to tell him one more thing, "you know she is still in love with you right? And I also know you are with her. So please, stop breaking her heart and playing with her feelings. Seriously bro, why don't you tell me what happened the day you left and returned with Emily". 

"Nothing happened! I have told you a million times! Just, back off, it's my problem and my life!". 

.... 

I arrive school to see Sam, Jane, Mary and Brandon . All seemed stressed, and they were talking at the same time. 

"Hey guys!", I said but nobody listened, they all look worried. "Guys!", I say again. "What is going on?", I ask Sam, stepping besides her. 

She looked at me with worried expression. "Do you know where is Emma?". And everyone stared at me. 

"What?" No, I mean, she was at my house yesterday, but she left at like 6. Why? 

"She is nowhere to be found, we have tried calling her, texting her, and nothing", Mary says. 

"Maybe she just skipped school", I suggest. 

"Eth, I think you don't understand. She didn't even arrive home last night!", Sam says. Oh God, this is not good. 

"My parents are worried sick, they say they will call the police if she...", Brandon stops talking and focuses on the entrance. We all turn around to see what he was seeing. And there she was, Emma, getting out of her car, in the same clothes as yesterday, and acting like nothing happened. We all run to her. 

"Emma!", Brandon says. "Where the hell have you been? My dad is...".

"Shhh! Why are you screaming?", she says. Its clearly she is under the effects of something.  

"Are you drunk?", Brandon asks getting closer to her. "And high....", he says dissappointed. "Since when do you use drugs Emma? this is not like you!"

"Why do you care anyways!", she laughs. 

"Emma, I think you should go home and....", Sam begins to say. 

"Don't tell me what to do!", she yells at her. 

"Ems, really. If the principal notices you are...", Jane tries to convince her. 

"I don't care what he does or thinks about me", she tries to walk away but Brandon grabs her arm. 

"Emma, we are going home NOW!". 

By now, everyone in the parking lot is watching. "Don't you dare take me home Brandon. And what the hell are you all watching? Don't you have better things to do?!", she stops when she sees Grayson and Emily getting out of their car. Grayson is surprised, I mean, who wouldn't? I know Emma likes to party, but she is one of the best students of the school, and she would never come here in this state if there was not something wrong; and I know exactly what the problem is. "Get the hell out of my way", she says before walking into school. The girls follow her, and I stay with Brandon thinking about all this situation. Then Grayson and Emily approached us. 

"Wow, it seems someone doesn't know when to stop partying", Emily laughs. We all stare at her. "What? Its true, she needs help". This girl... 

I guess Grayson was also not in the mood because he said, "Emily, why don't you wait for us in the classroom...", but she didn't move. Grayson then faced her, "please babe". 'Babe' it made me cringe. Why is Grayson doing this?

When Emily was finally out of the picture for now, we cold clearly see Grayson's confuse expression. 

"We need to do something", Brandon says. 

"But what is going on?", Gray asks. 

"Emma she is drunk, or high... I don't even know at this point. But we need to solve it before someone sees her", Brandon explains. "We can't let anyone know, specially the principal. This will bring bad publicity to my family and we can't have another scandal". 

With all that is happening, I almost forgot who Emma's dad is. Their family is like celebrity around here because of the company they own. 

"What do you want us to do?", I ask. Emma is one of my best friends, I need to help her. 

"Us?", Grayson asks. "I am sorry, I - I can't help", he says begining to walk away. What the f*ck? 

"You know my sister is like this because of you right? Your games, and on and off relationship is really messing her up", Brandon says. 

Grayson turns around abruptly. "Don't you dare blame this on me".

"I am not blaming anyone, I am telling the truth". You can see Brandon is pissed. Grayson remained silent for some seconds. "Just tell us, what happened yesterday?! Emma is not like this and you know it". Brandon says putting his finger on Grayson's chest to remark when he says 'you'. 

"I - I don't know what happened ok?", Grayson backs off. 

"Bullshit!", I finally say. "Emma was ok during dinner, and suddenly she ran away from our house? Just tell us!". 

"WE KISSED! OK?", we all look at him in surprise. "And then I told her to leave the room...before anything else could happen", Grayson says passing her fingers through his hair. 

"What?", I ask, kind of disappointed. 

"Dude, I know you still like her. Everybody does, but whatever the reason you are with that other girl, you shouldn't play with Emma's emotions and feelings, because she sure as hell wants you", Brandon says. 

"If you truly care about her, you need to help her. And I know you do Grayson", I say. 

"I can't, what about Emily? She will be pissed and-", Grayson says. 

"Its either Emily or Emma for now", Brandon says. "And as soon as this is over, you need to explain us what is going on, so we try to help you". 

"I can't tell the truth to Emma, she will hate me forever", Grayson says. Why don't I know this? We used to tell each other everything, what dark secret Grayson has?

"Let's figure that later, we need to help Emma now!", I say. 

Now, Jackson walks in front of us to enter school. "Hey! Jackson, wanna help?", Brandon says.
