Roommates

Chapter 6

"I was thinking too much."

"About?" I wanted to know

"N-nothing. It's stupid."

"It can't be that stupid." I said.

"It's better if I don't say."

"Oh my gosh, just tell me! What were you thinking about?"

"You."

 Did he just say what I think he just said? Does he have feelings for me? Is he being serious. I kept quiet and Ethan walked away from me. I didn't know what to do. He was upset and hurt and I just don't know what to do or what to say. I don't even know how to feel. 

Grayson came out of his room and went to the living room to watch TV. I walked out of the kitchen and sat next to him. I didn't look at him nor the TV. I just looked down.

"Are you ok?" he asked.

"I-I don't know."

"What do you mean?"

"Your brother just confessed his feelings for me? And I-I don't know h-how to feel."

"Do you like him?"

"Maybe a-a little."

"tell him."

Grayson's Perspective

"Are you ok?" I asked Kim.

"I-I don't know."

"What do you mean?"

"Your brother just confessed his feelings for me? And I-I don't know h-how to feel."

"Do you like him?"

"Maybe a-a little."

"tell him."

I was kind of hurt that she didn't like me, but she liked my brother. For crying out loud we look the fucking same. We're twins! She doesn't like me but she likes Ethan. I just have to get over it, but how can I when we live together?

"You know what? I'm gonna do it." She said snapping me out of my thoughts. I just gave her a small smile as she got up and left me in the living room heart broken.

Ethan's Perspective

I just told her how I felt and she doesn't feel the same way about me. I wish I never told her, and just kept it to myself. She probably likes Grayson more than me but we fucking look the same. How is that possible? 

I was in my room laying down on my bed and just deep in though about what just happened until I was interrupted by a knock on my closed door. It was probably Grayson. 

"Go away Grayson." I said. The door opened and it wasn't Grayson. It was Kim.

"What do you want?" I said kind of harshly.

"Ouch. I just came to say that I feel the same way about you."

"Why didn't you at that before so I wouldn't look like an idiot in front of you?" 

"B-because, I was confused? I don't know."

"Confused about what?"

"I was just shocked. I didn't think you would like me like that. I'm sorry I made you upset."

"It's ok. I just want you to like me back the way I like you.

6 months later...

Kimberly's Perspective

Ethan and I have been together for about 3 months and I'm so happy. He makes me smile and I that. I haven't been able to work because my manager hasn't found anyone "good" for me to take pictures of. I have an Instagram account of all the pictures I have taken and they have turned out really good. I have gotten a little closer with Grayson, he seems to be depressed though. He hasn't talked to me in awhile and I'm getting a little worried. He only leaves his room to eat and go to the bathroom.

I was in Ethan's room and we were just cuddling. I was starting to think about Grayson. Ethan ended up falling asleep on me and I tried to get out of his grip without waking him up. I successfully got out of his grip and walked into Grayson's room.

"Hey bud."

"Hey." He said not looking at me.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"please tell me. I want to help you."

"THAT'S THIE THING, YOU CAN'T HELP ME!

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? OF COURSE I CAN!"

"NO YOU CAN'T."

"Grayson. Tell me why I can't." I said folding my arms.

"BECAUSE YOU'RE DATING ETHAN."

"WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?"

"IT'S BECAUSE I FUCKING LIKE YOU, KIM! I FUCKING LIKE YOU." he cried.

Why am I even doing this. Both boys like me. What am I gonna do? I can't just break up with Ethan and then go to Grayson. I might have a little crush on Grayson but I'm drooling over him. I have to tell Ethan I can't keep it from him. I walked away, not knowing what else to do and walked right back into Ethan's room.

Ethan was awake when I walked in. Grayson must've woken him up from yelling. He can't be totally blamed though, because I was yelling too.

"Hey, what was the yelling all about?" He asked.

"E, this is serious. Please don't get mad."

"What is it?"

"Grayson likes me. Like, Like likes me."

"What the hell?!"

"Ethan calm down."

"You probably like him too, you went to his room to do whatever!"

"Ethan it isn't like-"

ISN'T LIKE WHAT?!"

"I WENT TO HIS ROOM TO SEE WHAT HE WAS UP TO, IN A FRIENDLY WAY. DID YOU REALLY SUSPECT THAT I WOULD CHEAT ON YOU!?"

"YES!" 

"SERIOUSLY?! WHATEVER HAPPENED TO YOU TRUSTING ME!?" I was so mad at him for thinking like this. I would never cheat on him. For that matter, any guy that I'm with I would never cheat!

"I NEED TO LEAVE!" Just like that he left me in the room, so angry and confused. I just broke down, not knowing what to do. I think I need some time away from the twins.

I went to my room and packed a little bit clothes. I got my phone out and called my mom. I haven't seen them in awhile so this is a good time to go back "home."

The phone call...

Mom- hello?
Kimberly- hey mom.
Mom- hi honey....are you crying?
Kimberly- y-yeah I am.
Mom- why? what happened?
Kimberly- can I come and stay at the house for like a week, maybe?
Mom- sure.
Kimberly- thanks mom. I love you
Mom- I love you too

I grabbed my keys from the bowl and walked to my car. I got in and drove off. This is best for the three of us. I feel like we need a break, especially me and Ethan. I never told you that we've been fighting a lot but that was over little stuff. This was bigger than any other argument. Usually when we got in arguments, I would just sleep in my room. When we were good again, I'd sleep with him (Not like that). 

I got to the house and walked in since I still have my key. My mom saw me and I instantly broke down in tears. She came running to me and just engulfed in a hug. Kevin came down the stairs and joined the hug.
