• It's a deal. • {E.D}

s e v e n - the truth

Ethans pov:

My tuff attitude disappeared as soon as those words came out of her mouth.
Last night somehow felt special to me
And the fact that she apparently liked someone else couldn't do anything other than to hurt me a little.
It felt like the way my last girl made me feel all over again.

I was now at mine and Grayson's apartment.
Grayson's doing something in the kitchen while I'm just sitting at the edge of my bed just thinking.
Thinking about last night.
I tried so hard to keep something else in my mind but I couldn't help but to think about Isabella.

What had she done to me? This was definitely not my intentions when I went into this deal.
But I was still not going to be the one to break it.

I figured I just had to try to think about something else.
I was going to go out for a walk to get my mind on something else.

I look over on my armchair in one of the corners in my room.
My black sweater is laying where I left it last night.

I use all my strength to manage to get out of bed and stumble over to the armchair to pick my sweater up.

The hangover was real, and I was nothing but exhausted.
I didn't really drink that much but I guess it was enough to become like this.

I pull the sweater over my head.
My hair gets everywhere from the sweater  and I don't feel like putting any effort into fixing it so I just pull the hood over my head.
I start to walk out of my room and pass the kitchen where Grayson see me on my way to the door which was the one thing I didn't want to happen.

"Heyyy!" He shout back at me.

I stop next to the fridge, just when I was about to take another step.
I turn my face towards him, he's holding a knife in his right hand and a tomato in left hand looking like I interrupted him in his soup making.
I look at him and I can't read his face expression enough to know what his about to say next.

"Um yeah" I respond with a confused voice and an awkward smile not wanting him to bring the Isabella subject up.

"Where are you heading?" He ask me and raise an eyebrow as he speaks.
I bite my lip not wanting him to find out about the truth, but I had to tell him.

"Um I was just going out for a walk you know." I say as I try to sound confident about it but I know that Grayson knows that I'm not the type of person to go on walks.

He just stares at me for a few seconds in respond and I see in his face that he knows that something's up.

"Hey Ethan, That's just stupid.
You never do that,  I know something is up.
Just come here." He say as he gestures me to sit down with him on the couch.

So we both walk over to our gray couch in our big living room.
We sit next to each other with a few inches of distance.

Grayson doesn't say anything after that, he just wait for me to get ready to tell him all about it.

I know that he know all about it so I see no where to run from this situation.

I just sit there staring into our white wall in front of us trying to figure out what I wanted to say because I was so confused by all the feelings.

"You know what Grayson?"

I say as I look down on my feet trying to hide my face.
He doesn't respond but I know that he's listening.

"I think that I gave my heart away to a girl that doesn't want it" I say as I wipe a single tear rolling down my cheek.

I really didn't expect that I would cry talking about it, but I did and at this moment I realize how much she meant to me.

Grayson is still silent, letting me talk.

"I don't understand what's going on inside her head.
One second she looks at me with nothing but hate in her eyes and the other second she kisses me like I'm someone she loves.

I honestly don't know if I can take another broken heart" I say and exhale slowly.

It feels good letting it all go off my chest.

Grayson look at me like he understand every single word I'm saying.

"Eth-" he say but I interrupt him right away.

"I know I shouldn't be the one to break the deal but I can't admit it to her now since she'll be the one that wins and then she'll just leave me.
It's all a game to her Grayson"

At this point there's several tears rolling down my cheeks and I cup my face with my hands trying to cover it up.

The room goes silent for a few moments.

"Do you love her?" Grayson say as he breaks the silence.

"If I tell her how I really feel I won't be able to handle the truth.
But I guess I do l-"

I get interrupted by someone walking in the hallway as I turn around checking on who's there.

"Ethan what is going on?"
