I am really dreading actually going over to Grayson's house. He is so mad at me, I doubt he will even give me the time of day and Nick Is practically dragging me over there.
We get into his car and I can feel the butterflies in my stomach. Gray can be so intimidating when he's angry and to be honest it kinda scares me.
The car ride was normal, Nick just wouldn't shut up about how he's so excited me and Gray will be friends after this. I wasn't really paying too much attention to what he was saying, my mind was too busy overthinking what Grayson's going to say. I stare out the window wile Nick faint voice is in the background.
We pull up to the familiar house i'v known my whole life and park outside. Nick unbuckles his seatbelt and gets out. For some reason my mind was telling me to go but my body wasn't moving
" Are you coming??" Nick opens the passenger door staring at me
" I-I don't know if I can do this Nick. He probably doesn't even want to talk to me"
" Get your ass out. You are talking to him" He leans over me and unbuckles my seatbelt and pulls my wrist making me get out of the car
We walk up his drive way to his front door. Nick lifts his hand up and knocks on the door. I was literally having anxiety waiting at the door for someone to open it.
Finally I see a dark shadow appear behind the glass door. The door handle turns and opens revealing Grayson.
Well.. this is awkward. Just me, Nick, and Grayson staring at each other in silence.
Nick decides to speak up " Hi Gray, Elle really needs to talk to you can we come in for a second?" He says in a really sweet voice.
He doesn't say anything and just turns around leaving the door open and walking upstairs to his room. Nick looks at me and grabs my wrist causing me too jump forward. We walk into the house and up the stairs.
As we are walking through his house I immediately stop in my footsteps when I see Ethan walk out of his room. He looks at me with his big intimidating eyes piercing into my soul. He stops in his tracks for a second but then continues to walk downstairs and turns his head away from me.
I turn around wanting to go after him but Nick yanks me back
" Hell no hun we are not doing that right now" He pulls me closer to Grayson's room
He quickly pushes me into his room and I see Grayson sitting on his bed texting someone. I stand there awkwardly not knowing what to do or say. Nick quickly steps in and pulls me closer to gray.
" Okay listen to me you two, You guys have been best friends for as long as ya'll can remember. Are you really going to end your guy's friendship over a guy? Because if so that is completely childish and immature. Okay sure it's your brother Grayson but any best friend would be happy for their friend. Now i'm going to step out and go get some water and while i'm gone you two better talk and makeup." Nick walks out the room slamming the door shut
I decide to build up the courage and sit next to him on his bed. It was silent for a little, and all he was doing was staring at the floor playing with his fingers
" Grayson.." I say quietly looking at the side of his face
No reply
" Nick is right.. You are my best friend, I do not want to loose you over a boy let alone your brother. Please forgive me. I love you. "
He finally lifts his head up and looks at me " It just hurts that you didn't tell me. We tell each other everything and I thought I could trust you.." He says quietly putting his head back down
" Gray you can trust me. I know I was wrong for not telling you about Ethan" I didn't really know what to say.
" I just didn't want you to get hurt. Ethan hurts so many girls but you are different. Ethan also gets everything and you were the one thing that I had that Ethan didn't." A tear falls out of his eye
I grab onto his thigh " Im so sorry Grayson I never should have done that. I was only on the mattress with Ethan because Tabby had to sleepover that night because some guy at the party assaulted her. She was drugged so we took her back to my house and she slept in my bed." He looks at me in shock
"Someone h-hurt Tabby?"
" yes and I don't know what to do she hasn't talked to me since."
" I don't want to fight anymore elle, and I also haven't been completely honest with you." He looks down into his hands looking almost scared to tell me what he is about to tell me
Nick suddenly barges in the room with a glass of water in his hands " Okay r we good?"
"Actually it's good Nick came, I want to tell him too." Grayson says and looks at both Nick and I
Nick looks at me confused and sits down infront of us on a chair
" What is it Grayson?" Nick asks
We both look at him eager of what he's about to say
" Well.. the day I came over to your house and saw you and Ethan together I was going to tell you something but, when I saw you guys it made me so angry at not only you but myself. It just made all the anger inside of me come out. I was so confused and mad at the world." Grayson explains to us. Although I am still confused as to where he's going with all this
" So about a couple months ago I started to get these feelings. And I didn't want to accept the fact that I was getting these feelings so I just kept brushing them off and telling myself to stop. I was so embarrassed and ashamed that I was getting these feelings but I couldn't help them. But, just recently I was sitting in my room listening to music thinking about everything and all those feelings I was having and something just popped in my head. My mind was telling my that these feelings were okay and that I am still the same Grayson everyone knows. So with all that being said.. I hope you guys don't look at me or treat me any different after I tell you this."
" Tell us what Grayson spit it out" I say standing up
" I-I um. I think I like guys.." Grayson says quietly
" OH. MY. GOD I fucking love you Grayson" Nick blurts out causing both of them to laugh
I honestly was so fucking shocked that he just said that. I felt bad that he was going through all of that alone and why he didn't tell me
"Grayson you should have told me" I say sitting back down rubbing his back
" I know im sorry I just didn't want to accept it. I was ashamed and scared"
" I will still love you no matter what gender you like gray, you can always tell me anything"
I look over sat Nick who was a giant grin on his face. I stand up and open my arms up wide so we could have a group hug. They both stand up and wrap their arms around me.
This is perfect. I have my best friend back. But, as I am submerged in this giant bear hug a thought comes to my mind.
Ethan
