My Two Best Friends|G.D|E.D

31|"we both fucked up"

| Grayson |

"How the hell could you do that to me?!" I screamed as I slammed the front door in my house.

We were home alone which is good so we could scream as loud as we want, but bad because no one will hold me back if I lose my temper again.

"To your own fucking brother!" I shouted again looking for Ethan.

I stomped up the stairs in search for him. I walked down the hallway and noticed the bathroom at the end of the hall, the light was on.

I turned into the bathroom door and there sat a shirtless Ethan sitting on the bathroom counter tending the wounds I gave him. I walked in, Ethan looked at me through the mirror and continued back to clean his cuts. 

I clenched my jaw, "Did I hit you too hard? Can you hear me?!"

Ethan continued to tend his wounds, ignoring me.

"You freaked the fuck out when Beth kissed my cheek! Ethan, you fucking kissed her! You deserved every hit I fucking gave you!" I screamed once more. I was beyond furious.

Ethan jumped off the bathroom counter and turned to face me with his angry eyes, "I get it Grayson! I shouldn't have done it, but I did, and I'm sorry! But, what's done is done and I can't go back and unkiss her. But, how the hell did you think I felt when you kissed her last summer?!"

I scoffed, "That was a dare!"

"You still kissed her! And, don't act like the only reason why you kissed her was because of the dare. You would've done it too, if you had the chance like I did! You crossed two lines, I only crossed one!" Ethan yelled.

I went silent and soaked in the words he said. And, I soaked in the sight of my brother in front of me.

Ethan's face had tints of purple and red all over, forming bruises, because of me. His mouth was still somewhat bleeding from the first shot he received from me. His eyes were a little swollen from all the punches I gave him. There were red color tints on Ethan's back, abs, and neck from me hitting him. Cuts and scrapes covered his knees, arms, and a little bit of his face from me tackling him into cement. I did all that.

I let jealousy and anger build up and take control of me. It brought a person in me that I'm not proud of seeing when they come out, but that's not me. I took out my anger on someone who feels the same pain as me and someone who is striving for the same thing as me, striving for Beth.

"We both fucked up," I muttered.

Ethan spit out some more blood into the sink and smirked, "We both broke our promise. Can we start over? Because, we obviously can't control our anger, let's control our decisions."

I opened the bathroom cabinet and got out a first aid kit, "Yeah, good idea."

Ethan furrowed a brow once he saw the kit, "Woah, I've been looking for that!"

I chuckled and opened the kit taking out some gauze, "Stick this in your mouth. I must've got you good, since it's still bleeding."

Ethan snatched them from my hand and stuck them inside of his mouth, "How should we start over?"

I shrugged my shoulders, "I don't know... Maybe make a deal where we just don't try to make each other and jealous and stop trying to cross lines? We're not each other's competition. Our only competition is Damien."

Ethan nodded his head as he continued to search through the kit, "So basically the same deal as last time, but just we don't break the deal?"

"Basically," I said.

Ethan pulled out a small bottle of rubbing alcohol and widened his eyes, "I do need to clean my cuts correctly..."

I took the bottle from his hand, "Let's call Beth over before we mess something up. She'll know what to do, and plus we need to talk to her about all this."

I took my phone out from my pocket and called Beth up. It rang a total of 4 times and she finally answered.

"Hello?" She muttered.

God, her voice gives me butterflies.

I smiled as I spoke to her, "Can you come over? Ethan needs nurse help-"

"Ahhh!" Ethan fake screamed pretending to be hurt.

The other line went silent, but I could hear low murmurs in the background.

"Ethan and I are okay now. We made up. We don't only need you for medical help, but we thought a good talk is necessary," I insisted.

Beth sighed, "Oh... I'm glad you guys made up. But, I can't come over right now."

Ethan and I both furrowed a brow and said this in sync, "Why not?"

The line went silent and more murmurs appeared. I heard a deep male voice that I could tell which was Damien.

"She's with Damien," I mouthed to Ethan.

Ethan rolled his eyes and looked down in disappointment.

"I'm with Damien," She muttered.

Damien literally found out Beth kissed another guy an hour ago and they already made up? I was hoping that'd be the end of their relationship.

"Oh... you guys are okay?" I said.

"We're great," She said with enthusiasm.

Cool.

"Well I can't heal myself," Ethan said still trying to get her over here.

"J-just clean the wounds with rubbing alcohol, it'll sting. Then, put ointment on it, if you have any. And, put a bandage on it to seal it up. I checked Ethan out and none of his wounds are in need of me to be there," Beth said with monotone.

It was obvious she didn't want to see us.

"Oh, okay. Thanks. Later, Beth," I said trying to act okay.

"No problem," She said and hung up.

I stared at my phone in shock.

Ethan chuckled, "She checked me out."

I rolled my eyes, "Shut up, E."

"I guess I'm your nurse," I said as I put some rubbing alcohol onto a cotton ball.

Ethan's eyes widened from fear.

"I love you bro," I said as I placed the alcohol cotton onto his wounds and he grunted from pain.
