ethan dolan imagines

memory {e}

💛

a guy walks by me, leather jacket, black denim pants, white tshirt, hair messy, cigarette in his hand

 he looks familiar

i stop the boy "excuse me, you look familiar. do i know you from somewhere?"

he shakes his head "no, i don't know you" he tries to walk away

"what's your name?" i ask

"ethan dolan, yours?" he asks, looking at me with those gorgeous eyes

"y/n y/l/n" i say in a daze

he nods and starts to walk away, i let him go

but why does he look so familiar?

~

"kat, tell me the truth, was i dating someone before the car crash?" i ask my older sister

she hesitates "you can't tell mom and dad, promise?"

i nod "promise"

"you were dating a bad boy type of guy. like leather jacket, smokes cigarettes, hot jawline"

"why didn't they tell me that?"

"they didn't like him. they didn't think he was good enough for you"

"do you have a way of contacting him?" i ask desperately

"i was only friends with his brother, i can give you his number"

i nod and get grayson's number, calling him

he picks up "hello?"

"um hi, is this grayson dolan?" i ask

"is this a prank call because if it is-"

"no, my name is y/n y/l/n, i apparently use to date your brother. i was in that car crash and i still don't remember a lot of things"

"oh my gosh, y/n y/l/n, i thought i had seen the last of you when your parents wouldn't let us in the room to see you"

"i want to catch up"

"oh yeah, me too. here's my address"

i write it down

"cool, can i come over now?"

"yeah, ethan's here too" he says and hangs up

ethan? his brother?

if he is his brother then he would be-

omg i met ethan earlier

i feel my stomach turn

i feel like a horrible person

~

i knock on the door and a guy opens it

"hi, i'm grayson. if you don't remember"

i smile "you definitely look familiar"

he smiles widely "good"

i follow him inside and sit on a couch as he sits next to me

"i need to warn you. i didn't tell ethan you were coming because he would've left. he's in love with you even if he won't admit it. and it broke him when you didn't remember who he was. and ever since yesterday, he's been in a daze, saying that he ran into a girl. so he might be moving on. i just thought you should know"

i nod "thank you, grayson. i have a feeling that we were good friends"

he laughs "we were best friends"

we talk about random stuff and it feels good to reconnect with him

finally gray, yeah i'm calling him that now, decides to call ethan down

i hear ethan's foot steps grow closer "dude, what?"

"i have someone here for you"

"ugh is it another girl that you're trying to set me up with?"

"not quite, just take a seat"

ethan takes a seat, my back still turned to him

i take a deep breath and turn around

ethan jumps "wha-what are you doing here?"

"i ran into you the other day and it bothered me that you looked so familiar. i asked my sister and she told me that we use to date before the accident. i- i'm so sorry that i didn't remember you, my parents brain washed me into thinking things that didn't feel normal to me. and i-i'm so sorry that you had to go through that. i feel really shitty"

he doesn't say anything, just stares at his hands

"if you want me to leave, i will"

"no, i-" he sighs "gray can you leave?"

gray nods and walks upstairs

"it's not your fault, you didn't know" he says, still not looking at me

"i still feel shitty though. i-" i stop and place my hands on his

he looks up at me and i look into his beautiful eyes

he leans in as do i

as he kisses me, i have flashbacks of all our good times together

like our first date, our first kiss, and so on 

he pulls away "i missed you"

"i missed you too"

he smiles at me and i smile back

"i don't know if i've said this before, but i love you ethan"

his eyes light up "i love you too"

he smashes his lips on mine

and that was our first 'i love you'
