Roommates

Chapter 7

Kimberly's Perspective 

Since Ethan left, he doesn't know that I left. This whole week, I'm just gonna block him out. No calling or texting him. Maybe he won't try calling me or texting me. All I know is that this is gonna be hard. Kevin came in my room and sat down next to me.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Nothing. Mom just told me to check on you."

"I'm fine, thank you.

"What were you so upset about?"

"Well...you know how I was dating Ethan?"

"Yes. WAIT! You guys aren't together anymore?!"

"No...well, yes. No! We're just taking a break."

"Oh, so what happened?" my brother asked, making me a little annoyed.

"Well...his twin brother, Grayson was a little down so I went to talk to him and then it turned into this argument. I just wanted to be a good friend and help him but then he told me I couldn't, which led to us fighting. Grayson told me that he had feelings for me. I didn't know what to do and I couldn't keep it to myself, you know I'm not good with secrets. I told Ethan and then WE started fighting and...yeah."

"Damn. That sucks."

"yeah it does. He left the apartment, not giving me time to explain and I just couldn't stay there knowing that his twin has feelings for me...it's just too much. So that's when I asked mom if I could stay here for a week. Me and Ethan just need a break."

"I understand. Me and Taylor had to take a break as well." Taylor is Kevin's girlfriend.

He left me alone in my room, thank god, I thought he'd never leave. I got on my computer and emailed some pictures to Delaney for a project that we have been working on for the past month. 

Ethan's Perspective

I came back to the apartment. I kind of felt bad for yelling at Kim like that. Kimberly was nowhere to be found. She wasn't in her room and she wasn't with Grayson, and obviously not in the bathroom.

"Grayson!"

"What!"

"Where is Kim?"

"I don't know, she left somewhere."

"Fuck!" This is my fault.

I got my phone out of my pocket and tried calling her but it went straight to voicemail. I tried texting her but she wasn't answering my texts, only reading them. Well I know that she's alive but where the hell is she?

I left the apartment again and drove around trying to look for her. I saw her car in someone's driveway so I parked my car on the side and got out and locked my car. I walked up to the door and knocked waiting for someone to answer.

Kimberly's Perspective

I was in my room, Kevin was sleeping, and my mom was making dinner. There was nothing to do around here. I got so used to being around the twins, we always figured out what to do when we were bored.

"Kim, can you get the door?"

"Yeah."

I got out from under the covers and walked down the to the front door. This was not what I was expecting at all. It was Ethan standing right in front of me. What the hell? How did he find me here? 

"Ethan?"

"C-can we talk?"

I looked behind me and then stepped outside and made sure the door was unlocked then closed it. I really didn't want to talk but I did it to save my relationship with him I guess.

"What?" I said sternly.

"Listen, Kim, I'm sorry for yelling at you. I will admit that I did get jealous, because every time I was in a relationship, my past girlfriends would cheat on me with Grayson or any other guy. I just didn't want to lose you. I still don't want to lose you. Kim, I love you and I would do anything for you. I realized that I was a dick and it was wrong to yell at you for something this stupid. Please forgive me?"

"Ethan...I get it, you were jealous. I love you, but I think we still need a break. At least a week."

"I understand." He said and then walked away. I felt bad but I really do need a break. I can't go back, especially since I know that they both have feelings for me. I just need one week to get my shit together.

Ethan's Perspective

It kind of sucked that she needed a break from us but I get it. I want what's best for her. I'll do whatever it takes, I will wait because I love her. I drove back home and Grayson was sitting in the living room. Aaron, Nate, and Jack were here too. They all looked at me and pushed me down on the floor and tackled me.

"Where have you been?" Aaron said.

"Apologizing to my girlfriend." I said.

"Someone fucked up." Nate said laughing.

"Yeah, I did. She won't be back until next week." I said.

"That's because your dumbass assumed something that wasn't happening." Gray said rolling his eyes.

"You can shut the fuck up! You fucking confessed that you had feelings for her."

"Ethan, you can't just hold them in for so long! I had to tell her, plus she was kind of pressuring me to do so!"

"WHATEVER! YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO RUIN THINGS FOR ME AND I GET SICK AND TIRED OF IT!"

"DID YOU REALLY THINK I WAS GOING TO KEEP IT TO MYSELF?! YOU KNOW I HAVEN'T GONE OUT WITH A GIRL FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS BECAUSE I WAS TOO BUSY CRYING MYSELF TO SLEEP. IT FUCKING HURTS TO KNOW THAT THE GIRL I FUCKING LIKE IS DATING MY TWIN! I HAVE BEEN KEEPING MY MOUTH SHUT SO YOU GUYS COULD BE HAPPY, SO THIS WOULDN'T HAPPEN! I CAN'T TAKE THIS SHIT ANYMORE. I'M DONE!" Grayson walked out of the apartment and all the guys were just looking down at the floor.

"We're gonna go now. See ya later bud." Jack said, and the guys left. Part of me felt bad for Gray but the other part felt like he deserved it.
