the other twin • ethan dolan

chapter two

        the next morning, i wake up feeling very confident. i felt like telling grayson how i feel is going to be a good thing and i have this feeling that he wouldn't just turn me down. i mean maybe we'll get closer after i tell him? i really hope so.

      today, i decide to get really cute for school. i put on my favorite outfit and i curl my hair and decide to wear a little more makeup than usual. i look in the mirror and i felt even more confident as i saw my reflection.

"you can do this, y/n." i tell myself.

       i grab my bag and head downstairs. my mom was in the kitchen and i knew she was going to say something to me because of the look she gave me.

"why are you so dolled up today? who's the boy?" she says as she gives me "the look."

       my mom and i weren't very close and that is mostly because of my parents divorce. my dad moved away and i wanted to go with him but he insisted on me staying with her. she makes many attempts to get closer to me but honestly, i don't see it happening. i mean i love the woman, but she pushed my dad away and she has extreme anger issues and it always is taken out on me because i'm the one who has to live with her. she is on and off drugs and she can't keep herself stable. i've tried to be there for her but she never keeps any of the promises she makes to me about staying clean for her sake and mine as well.

"nobody mother." i say as i walk out the door and go to my car.

        i make my way to the school and i get out of the car to be reunited with emily.

"grayson is over there!!" emily says, pointing to grayson with a group of his friends.
"calm your tits, i see him." i say to emily.

i start to have a mini debate in my head about whether or not i should say something to him, and eventually i just decide to go before i completely talk myself out of it.

"bitch goooo!" emily says as she pushes me toward him.

i walk slowly down the hallway towards him with my head down. my heart is racing and i'm so nervous as i'm getting closer and closer to facing my fear.

"hi grayson.." i say as i finally get to him.
"yeah?" he replies back, not even bothering to look at me.
i stay quiet and he finally turns to me.
"you said my name. what do you want?" he says before i can get any words out.
"well... i know i haven't talked to you in a while, but i just wanted to tell you that i've had feelings for you for a long time.." i say as i stare back at the floor.
"oh. cool. and ?"
"i just wanted to know if you maybe liked me back... or if you wanted to be close again." i say feeling as if i could cry right then and there.
"you've got to be kidding me. me like you? fuck no. why would i even— no i don't like you." grayson says as his friends laugh behind him.

a tear falls from my face and i look around and see that there's a crowd around us now. emily runs up to me and hugs me and begins to cuss out grayson. i can't focus on anything that she is saying because i feel like my heart had just been ripped out of my chest. not only did he turn me down, but he laughed at me and made fun of me too. this is not the grayson i knew. that grayson is long gone.

"you're a fucking dick grayson!" i hear emily yell as i snap back into reality.
"emily calm down. it's not worth it." i say as i turn away from grayson and begin to walk away.
"this bitch really thought i liked her. what the fuck." i hear grayson talking to his friends behind me.

i hear a familiar voice say something to grayson and it was surprising.

"chill bro. just leave her alone. "

it was grayson's brother, ethan. ethan dolan. 

      it was so surprising that he spoke up for me for one because i barely knew the kid, but for two, that i had always known him to be just like grayson. a fuckboy. they were just like each other and they never cared about anyone's feelings. they used girls and gave no fucks about how they felt once they were done with them. i had even thought ethan was worse than grayson was...

so why was he taking up for me ?
