the girl turned around and my heart stopped.

alexis.

my jaw dropped as i looked at the screen. she was in new jersey and she didn't even tell me? no wonder she hadn't texted back for the past few days. i honestly couldn't believe what i was seeing.

me being me, decided to go over to their house and "pretend" to see how ethan was doing. i closed the live and changed. i quickly brushed my hair and headed downstairs. i wanted to get there before she left.

i grabbed the key and locked the door, stepping out into the chilly night. brent was at the back of my mind, what if he was here and tried to kill me again?

i kept reminding myself that the police had him and he was in jail but everytime i heard a car behind me i started walking faster. I would turn one direction and the car went in the other.

phew.

i looked up the street and saw the lights of their house on. i decided i was going to pretend i had no idea she was there, but the person doing the live can see who was watching. well, there were 45 other people so hopefully they didn't notice.

let's just pray.

i walked up their steps to the door and took a deep breath.

here goes nothing.

i knocked on the door and i was soon face to face with none other than grayson dolan.

"what do you want?" he asked, leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed over his chest.

"i-i-um-came to see ethan" i said, mentally hating myself for stuttering.

"who is it gray?" ethan asked from inside. grayson turned around and laughed, "it's your girlfriend".

ethan got up and came to the door, "oh it's you" he said, his tone slightly disappointed

for some reason, this hurt more than anything. he looked almost disgusted and annoyed that i was here. i felt tears at the corner of my eyes. i looked down for a few minuted before saying something.

"sorry, you clearly seem busy. yeah, it's me, i'll go and when you have enough time out of your busy schedule, let me know." i spat, grayson rolled his eyes. i glared at him and ethan before walking back down the steps.

i walked faster and when i was far enough i burst into tears.

god why am i so sensitive?!

i honestly cannot believe him. i stayed with him at the hospital when he was hurt, i got him food, got him gifts, and that's how he's gonna treat me? making friends with them was a bad idea.

enough is enough.

"ash?" i heard someone say, i turned around and saw ethan walking towards me. i turned my back towards him again and started walking faster, i really didn't want to talk to him right now.

"ash!" he called again, running behind me. i
stopped and turned around. "what?"

"what's wrong with you?" he asked, stopping and catching his breath.

"what the hell do you mean?" i shot back, slightly raising my voice.

"why're you mad all of a sudden?" he asked, i scoffed. some friend he was.
