NOT A FAN

chapter 36

                  *Emersons pov*

(A/N: don't play they song yet! I'll let you know when to start it!)

          Ethan and I were seated up in my room talking about all the fun things we did this summer. I tried my best to join In on the conversation and smile, but I couldn't help but zone out and think about Grayson.

I quickly jerked out of my daze when I saw Ethan reaching for my guitar.

I watched him in amusement as he attempted to play the guitar and sing 'hello' by Adele.

It was terrible... And I mean terrible.

It's a good thing they're YouTubers!

"Ethan stopppp" I begged with a laugh as I covered my ears.

He stopped and chuckled lightly.

"Finally, a real smile" he said with a grin as he fixed his messy hair.

I continued to smile as I looked at him shaking my head.

"Here" he said handing me the guitar.

"What?" I asked raising an eyebrow at him.

"Sing a song" he said in a duh tone.

I immediately remembered all the times Gray had asked me to sing for him...

The song... The song I was going to sing for Grayson.

"Em.." He said with a light laugh.

I shook my head.

"Uh okay." I said as I cleared my throat pushing my other thoughts aside.

I nodded and began to strum the tune of the song I had planned on singing for Gray.

(Now would be a good time to play the song up above! Just imagine Emerson singing the song 🙂)

"I promise that one day I'll be around
I'll keep you safe
I'll keep you sound

Right now it's pretty crazy
And I don't know how to stop
Or slow it down

Hey
I know there are some things we need to talk about
And I can't stay
Just let me hold you for a little longer now

Take a piece of my heart
And make it all your own
So when we are apart
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone

You'll never be alone
When you miss me close your eyes
I may be far but never gone

When you fall asleep tonight
Just remember that we lay under the same stars

And hey
I know there are some things we need to talk about
And I can't stay
Just let me hold you for a little longer now

And take a piece of my heart
And make it all your own
So when we are apart
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone

And take a piece of my heart
And make it all your own
So when we are apart
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone

And take a piece of my heart
And make it all your own
So when we are apart
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone

And take a piece of my heart
And make it all your own
So when we are apart
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone"

I finished off the song with a final strum of the guitar as I looked up to find Ethan staring at me intently.

"Wow" he choked out with a small laugh.

"You're so amazing Em" he said after a moment of silence.

I smiled and looked down at the guitar in my lap.

You're singing to the wrong guy.

The door to my room quickly opened revealing the last person I had expected to see after today.

"Great song" a familiar voice said causing my heart and stomach to do a flip inside of my body as I made contact with the boy standing in my doorway.

"Gray.." I choked out, unable to even attempt and explain myself before he spoke up again.

"I can't believe this" he spoke in a harsh tone causing me to lean back slightly, not being used to this side of Grayson.

He sighed, immediately softening his tone and muscles once he had realized he had frightened me.

He looked over at Ethan and seemed to get mad all over again.

He turned around and quickly walked out of my room closing the door loudly behind him as he left.

And now, I'm finally starting to remember why I'm 'not a fan'.
