the first thing i did after leaving ethan's house was text my mom and tell her what had happened. i knew she wouldn't stay mad at me for long, she loved me too much.
as i was driving in my car, i had to come to an abrupt stop when some dumbass in a pickup decided to switch lanes and cut me off. my mom wanted me to stop at walmart for some dog tic shampoo or whatever you call it, i knew she wouldn't stay mad at me for long, because she frankly didn't have the time. the force of stopping so suddenly was so great that my window visor fell open, an envelope falling into my lap. i looked at it suspiciously, not remembering putting anything up there, i never did that because i always forgot what was up there anyways.
i figured i'd look at it later, when i wasn't driving, because i was indeed a responsible driver, and threw it into my passenger seat, where i noticed one of ethan's sweatshirts. my heart panged a little at the sight, but i let it go and continued on my way to walmart.
while i was walking in, i got a very unusual text from none other than alyssa, my little sister. she lived with my dad a couple towns over, went to a different school, and knew different people, but we kept in touch, and were surprisingly very close.
alyssa🥞🤗;
m, i need your help. bad.
macon bacon🥓;
with?
and after that she didn't reply. i made it home, mentioning alyssa's weird text to my mom. my mom figured it must've been boy issues or something, but i knew alyssa and i knew she wouldn't act like this. she was my baby sister and i knew something was up.
i had my friend arwynn come over after my mom and i had discussed what happened last night and i settled back in. the very first thing i told her about was what happened between ethan and i. she knew ethan and i were "special friends" and if i didn't tell her, she would've found out anyways and gotten mad at me. that was arwynn. she somehow managed to know everything about everyone. even the most private of people. part of me thinks she's psychotic.
after explaining everything that had happened, from me rushing over to his house after the fight, to talking to Laci, and him telling me he loved me. it was finally time for arwynn to tell me how she felt about the whole thing.
"mac, you're stupid." she said bluntly, "are you kidding me?"
"what do you mean?!" i groan, lifting my head up from my pillow to look at her.
"he was brave enough to tell you he loved you and you turned the whole situation into something it didn't have to be. if you had listened to where he was coming from instead of blaming him for loving you, you would be with ethan right now, instead of ranting to me about him." she says.
i sigh, "arwynn, i don't want to be with him. i know i should feel some remorse for his feelings." i pause, sitting all the way up, "but i honestly don't feel anything for him and i think something is wrong with me." my mind automatically wanders to grayson, what he's doing right now, and if he's talking to ethan about me. and i shouldn't be.
she shrugs, "then, i don't know what to tell ya. but he'll get over it, he's ethan. he's never hung up on a girl for more than two days."
"what about grayson?" i blurt, not knowing exactly what i meant.
arwynn furrows her eyebrows, "what do you mean?"
"i don't know, has he ever like had anything with a girl before? he's always playing jerking off and being a dick. and i haven't noticed him with a single girl before."
"y'know." arwynn pauses, "grayson doesn't do girls the way ethan does. ethan's always been one to move one quickly, but i haven't seen grayson with a girl since freshman year."
although grayson was a very hormonal boy, he always stayed clear of girls for some reason. he didn't pull girls every night like you would expect him to, and you didn't see him drooling over girls at school either. it was weird.
i shrug, "maybe grays different." i pause and look up at the ceiling, "a good different."
if he was so different, then why did he constantly try to get at me and not anyone else?
