ethan's pov
"i'm sorry. i really am" my girlfriend of a year says "it's just that it's him. it's always been him, i just didn't know it then" i guess she's my ex girlfriend now
"what a waste of a year" i say before getting up and storming off to my room
"hey what's wrong?" gray asks
"fuck off" i say opening the door to my room
"what happened?" he asks
i look at him, my chest heaving up and down "it's your fault. you take everything away from me. every fucking thing. fuck you" i say before slamming the door in his face
he shouts my name over and over again, but i ignore him and put my headphones on, blasting music. i try to forget about her and the past year of my life.
forget.
forget.
i need to forget.
fuck why can't i forget?
i want to forget her and the fact that she's in love with my brother instead of me.
what's so wrong with me?
why'd she chose him?
y/n's pov
i walk to the door of my bestfriend's house and open it because like always, it's unlocked
i see ethan's girlfriend sitting on the couch with her head in her hands. her body shaking with every cry.
i race up to ethan's room and see grayson sitting by the closed door, a stressed look on his face
i knock on the door "ethan, honey, open the door please"
i hear footsteps and then the door opens to a sad ethan
before i can say anything, grayson starts talking "ethan-"
ethan pulls me into his room and slams the door, locking it
he sits on the bed as i sit next to him, putting my arm around his waist and pulling him closer. he rests his head on my shoulder
"what happened?" i ask quietly
"she doesn't love me. she loves him" he mumbles
"who's him?"
"grayson" he chokes out
"give me one second" i say, standing up
"where are you going?" he asks looking up at me
"i'm going to kick her out and make gray go to his room so we can talk"
he nods and i leave, walking past grayson
i walk over to her and tower over her "you fucking broke him. you couldn't have broken up with him sooner? you led him on for a year" i scream at her
"leave now" i demand
she gets up and runs out the door
i walk back to ethan's room and gesture my hand to gray. he takes it and i pull him to his feet.
"come on, let's go to your room" i say
when we reach his room at the other side of the hall he asks "what happened?"
i sigh "she left him because she claims she's in love with you"
he stares at his feet " i don't love her and i never led her on. she was ethan's. i- i wish this didn't happen. he's going to hate me now"
"no he won't, you're his brother. but let me talk to him and just stay away for a few days or so"
he nods slowly
i hug him "he'll be fine. now don't stress yourself about this. i'll handle it"
he tightens his arms around me for a second before dropping them to his side
i say bye and walk to ethan's room
i open the door and see him staring at the ceiling "took you long enough" he says
i close the door behind me and sit next to him on the bed "i gave her a good yelling"
i see the right side of his mouth go up for a second before it falls back into it's place once again
i lean my back against the headboard "you can talk to me, e"
he lays on his side, facing me "there's nothing to talk about"
i look down at him "just let it out of your system. you'll feel better after"
he lays his head in my lap and wraps his arms around my legs
i feel my pants dampening from his salty tears "a year. a fucking year she led me on thinking she loved me as much as i loved her" he says
i rub his back and let him cry and talk it out of his system
a couple hours later, he stops crying
"do you feel better?" i ask softly
"yeah" he says lifting his head up from my lap and laying next to me
"sorry about your pants" he says
i glance down and see my dampened pants "it's fine, i'll just borrow a pair of your sweatpants"
he smiles "sounds good"
i get up and grab a pair of sweatpants before walking to the bathroom to change. i then walk back out and lay next to him on the bed
"i don't know what i would do without you" he whispers
i smile "ditto"
he smiles slightly before yawning
"do you want to get some sleep?" i ask
"yeah, but i don't want you to leave me"
" i wasn't planing on leaving you until you kick me out"
he laughs "that's never going to happen"
"then i guess i'm staying"
he smiles before closing his eyes "i wouldn't mind that"
"i wouldn't either" i say before closing my eyes as well
