Grayson's POV

I woke up to my phone ringing. I was confused as to where I was, because I did not recognize my surroundings. I wanted to turn over, so I could grab my phone, but something was preventing me from doing so. I looked down and saw two strong arms wrapped around me. Nick's arms. So that's why I was feeling so comfortable, I thought. I struggled to get out of his embrace and he was wrapping his arms around me even tighter.

"Nick, let me go." I said. My phone kept ringing and I was starting to get a headache.

"No." He mumbled, hiding his face in the crook of my neck.

"Please, I need to get my phone."

"It's too early, go to sleep." I sighed and somehow managed to get out of his grip. I grabbed my phone and saw, that I had 3 missed calls from Ethan. Oh no. I actually planned to go back before he woke up, so he wouldn't suspect anything. Looks like I was screwed now. I needed to find an excuse. Now!

"Oh shit. I need to go back, Nick." I quickly got out of the warm bed and went to Nick's bathroom to wash my face.

"Why? Just stay here."

"I need to go. Ethan called me a few times and he doesn't even know where I went." I was panicking. What was I supposed to tell him?

"It's going to be fine. Just tell him you went for a run or something." I raised one eyebrow at him.

"In my pyjamas?"

"Why not? It's better than nothing and also more believeable."

"Ugh, alright. I have to go now."

"Alright, stay safe and do not get in any trouble, yeah?" I nodded.

"Bye."

"Bye, babe." I ignored his petname for me and bolted out the door.

"Hey, E..." I scratched the back of my neck awkwardly.

"Hey." He said in a cold tone.

"Listen, E, I know you are still mad at me, but-"

"Where did you go?" He cut me off, looking at me expectedly.

"Uh... I went for a run." Ethan wasn't dumb. He always knew when I was lying to him, like right now.

"Who are you trying to fool, Grayson? You aren't even sweaty and plus, it's raining." I looked out the window and saw, that it was indeed raining outside. Damn it.

"Uhm... I wanted to go for a run, but decided not to, 'cause of the weather." I felt so bad. What the hell was happening to me? I was never the type of person to lie to anyone and here I was, lying to the person who meant the most to me.

"Grayson..." He started, sighing.

"What's wrong? Is something bothering you? You can tell me anything, Gray. You don't have to lie to me." I was so ashamed of myself. Ethan was hurt and upset and it was all because of me.

"It's nothing, Ethan. Really, there is nothing to worry about."

"Don't give me that shit, Grayson. You wouldn't be lying to me all the time if it weren't the case." I sighed and sat down on my bed.

"I can't tell you the truth, E." I sighed. He turned to me, his lips parted wide open.

"W-What? Gray..." He stuttered out. I put my hands in front of my face, ashamed to even look at Ethan. He looked so hurt and it was so heartbreaking to see.

"I just can't. You'll hate me."

"What the fuck? I would never hate you, Grayson. You should know that!" He raised his voice.

"I'm sorry... I'm not ready to tell you the truth just yet."

"Why not? I would never judge you, Gray. Do you know how I feel right now? Like shit. My own twin brother doesn't even trust me." I sighed and nodded.

"Please don't be mad, E, but-"

"I'm not mad. I'm hurt. There is a difference. Don't you trust me?" I couldn't help, but tear up. I hated being in this situation. I would have loved to tell Ethan everything about Nick, but it was harder than I thought it would be.

"I'm so sorry. I need to figure everything out, before I tell you. I hope you understand."

"Alright, don't expect me to tell you anything from now on, either." He said coldly and walked out. I didn't blame him, I fucked up once again.

Instead of running after him, I decided to just leave him alone and give him some space. I was so mad at myself. I knew I could trust Ethan with everything, yet here I was. Of course he would be hurt by that. I would have been too. I hated the way I was behaving right now. I should be going to Ethan with my problems and not try to run away from them. I took my phone out, deciding to text Nick. I know, probably not the best decision, but I really needed someone to talk to right now. Especially since Ethan was mad at me right now.

'Hey... can we talk, please? I messed up...

- Grayson'

Not even one minute later, I received an answer from him.

'Of course. I'll be right there.

- Nick'

I sighed in relief and a few minutes later, I heard him knock on my door. I opened the door and without a second thought, wrapped my arms around him. That's what I needed right now.

A warm, comforting hug.
