ten - caught in the act

I finally ended up at home after running for what felt like hours, but in reality it was only about 20 minutes. My head was swirling the entire time.

How could Grayson be doing drugs? Why was he high on our date last week? Does he even like me like he said he does?

What about Ethan? How did he know about Grayson's problem? When did he realized he liked me?

See, a lot of confusing questions.

I decided to go take a shower, since those always seemed to calm me down. I started running the warm water as I stripped down and got in. I scrubbed my body in an attempt to get rid of the headache of situations I was faced with today.

How did I know all of this was real? It could just be Ethan saying things to get me away from Grayson and onto him. Then again, Ethan has never lied to me for as long as I've been friends with the twins. He's always been open and honest and I really admired that about him.

After my shower, I got out and changed into a comfy pair of sweatpants and a loose t-shirt. I wrapped my hair in my towel and went into my room to just relax.

I really wanted to figure out what was going on with Grayson. So, I decided to text him.

me: hey grayson, what are u up to?

grapeson: i'm busy rn, talk later

That was always the response I got from him. Ethan was right, Grayson hasn't been himself.

A thought popped into my head, that Grayson was probably with Alice. As much as I hated doing it, I decided to text Alice as well.

me: hey are u with grayson?

alice: yeah why?

me: is it alright if i come over?

alice: sure idc, u know my address

I put my phone down and took my hair out of the towel. I threw it up into a messy bun. I honestly didn't care what I looked like, I just really needed to talk to Grayson.

I pulled up to Alice's house and parked in her driveway. She told me to just walk in since the door was unlocked. I walked up the steps to the front door and opened it. I was immediately greeted with a huge cloud of smoke and the smell of marijuana.

"*cough* Hello? *cough*" I covered my mouth and waved away the smoke with my hand to try to see better.

I walked through the kitchen into the dining room, where around 10 people sat, one of them being Grayson.

Let me just say, Ethan was right.

There Grayson was, a joint in his hand, cutting up lines of cocaine and preparing to snort them. With Alice sitting on his lap.

I placed a hand over my mouth as I saw him drop the credit card and pass the joint over to another guy. He closed one nostril and immediately began breathing in the lines. He threw his head back and let out a pleasured sigh after he was finished, kissing Alice.

"Grayson?" I said in shock.

His eyes opened immediately and he looked at me in astonishment. His mouth hung open due to the fact that he didn't know what to say.

"M-Mal", he stuttered, "This i-isn't what it..."

At that point, I had already fled the room.

After Mallory ran away from Alice's dining room, I immediately got up, in an attempt to go after her. But, a hand grabbed onto my wrist.

"What are you doing?" It was Alice. I turned around and looked at her.

"Going after her", I said matter of factly.

"Save it, Gray, stay here with me", Alice wrapped her arm around my bicep.

I yanked my arm from her grasp.

"I think you've done enough", I spat in her face.

I exited the front door and saw Mallory, sitting on the porch and crying.

I put my arm around her shoulder but she immediately shook it off.

"Get away from me, Grayson", she said weakly.

"Let me try to fix this, Mal",

"Fix what? Fix your drug addiction? Fix the fact that you're with Alice even though you told me you wanted to date me? Who are you, Grayson?" She yelled.

"I'm sorry", I muttered.

"Yeah, sorry you got caught. Goodbye, Grayson", She got up and started walking away.

What have I done?
