My BestFriend, Grayson

Chapter 50 - Always

Ethan and I arrived back at the Warehouse, Grayson and Beth weren't in either. Part of me felt relieved by that fact, I couldn't face them and tell Gray that Ethan and I were now an official thing.
"I'll grab you some comfy clothes, okay?" Ethan said, turning to face me. I nodded and waited on the sofa, wrapped in a blanket that I'd found in the back of Ethan's car. He kissed my forehead, smiled and then proceeded to walk upstairs. After a few minutes, Ethan brought me some sweatpants and a hoodie of his and we curled up together on the sofa.
"Kyla, can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Do you think we'll survive long distance?"
"I don't know, why?"
"I guess I'm just scared" he sighed. I stroked his face and stared into his eyes.
"Scared of what?" He looked at me with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"I'll wait for you forever, I'd follow you to the ends of the earth and I'll always be here for you. I'm just scared that we'll say goodbye and I'll never see you again."
"Hey... We can FaceTime everyday. I know the time zones are a little fucked up but we'll work it out. You'll see me again, I promise." He smiled, pulled my face to his and kissed me before leaning his forehead against mine.
"My babygirl."
"Always" I smiled back at him.

About an hour later, Beth and Grayson turned up.
"Comfortable?" Beth smirked at the both of us. Ethan flipped her off without even looking at her causing me to laugh quietly. Grayson walked in behind her, looked directly at me cuddling Ethan then down at the floor. I swear I felt my heart sink slightly whenever I saw him, I'm not sure why. I guess it might have been the fact I'd been away from him for so long and now he was dating my ex bestfriend. Ethan broke my train of thought by holding my hand, he must have noticed the way Gray and I looked at each other. He smiled at me and raised an eyebrow in concern.
"I'm going to bed" Beth said quietly to Grayson, he nodded at her and looked at Ethan.
"Kyla, can you go upstairs? I'll be up in a second, I promise. I just wanna talk to Gray about something" Ethan smiled at me.
"Sure, I'll be in your room" I replied before leaving the couch to head upstairs to E's room. I'm not sure what was said between the both of them, I couldn't hear through the walls because Beth began playing music in Grayson's room. I sat and thought to myself about how I was the one meant to be staying in there, I was the one who should have been with Gray. After all, he was the main reason I flew out here in the first place. Sure, I had Ethan now and I would be forever greatful for that, but Grayson still meant the world and more to me...

Ethan's POV
Grayson watched Kyla walk upstairs with a sad expression on his face. I looked at him and coughed slightly, turning his attention to me in the process.
"You wanted to talk?" Grayson started the conversation.
"Yeah, Dad's funeral is tomorrow and I wanted to remind you. I know you've been busy with your rebound but-"
"Stop" he butted in. I raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Stop what?"
"Don't call her that" he snapped.
"What? A rebound? Why? That's all she is" I replied sarcastically. His face dropped slightly as he looked at the floor.
"I'll be at Dad's funeral, don't worry. Just don't talk about Beth that way."

He began walking away and I couldn't contain myself anymore.
"What the fuck are you doing, Gray?" He stopped and turned to face me once more.
"What're you talking about?"
"You know exactly what I'm talking about. Why are you with her? To make Kyla jealous? You're pathetic, get a grip and realise you fucked up. You don't love Beth, you're in love with Kyla and you can't stand the fact she chose me over you." His eyes filled with anger and pain. I'm sure I saw a tear in one of them but he quickly blinked it away.

"You're right" he began. "I don't love Beth. However, Kyla didn't choose you over me, I left her, remember? If anything, you're her rebound, E. I've never loved or wanted anything more than Kyla and I'm not prepared to sit around and watch you destroy her."
"Destory her? I'm protecting her!"
"From what? The only thing she'd need protecting from is you." He smirked, making me want to smash his face through a window. My heart sank slightly, I didn't want to believe a word he was saying, I knew he was trying to hurt me.
"Kyla's my girlfriend, she loves me. She loves me more than she ever did you."
"For how long though?" He laughed a little.
"What's that meant to mean?" I clenched my fist.
"She leaves soon, right? Tell me, E, how well do you know her? Has she told you everything? Everything about her past? About what happened to her 2 years ago?"
"The fuck are you talking about, Gray?"
"So she hasn't told you, huh? I wonder how long she'd stick around if she knew what you did to the last girlfriend you had." He raised an eyebrow and smirked at me. My heart began pounding in my chest as it filled with pain and regret.
"Grayson, don't-"
"Don't what?" He cut me off. "Don't tell her? Are you going to? Because, personally, I don't think she loves you enough to stick around after she finds out." A sickly feeling filled my stomach, I wanted to cry. I wanted to scream, hit him and throw myself out of a window in the process. The thought of losing Kyla... I couldn't bear it. I couldn't be without her again...

"You'll lose her, Ethan. You'll lose her and I'll have her back."
