LYDIA HUDSON

"where are you going?" ethan speaks up and grayson glares at him, making ethan tense up beside me. "to get fresh air. thanks for the dinner mom." he says and pushes his chair in, leaving his plate full of alfredo on the table.

"i'm going to go talk to him." ethan is about to stand up, but I stop him, letting him know I will. he gives me a look, and I smile before standing up and quickly rushing out the front door.

it was dark outside, but I can easily spot grayson's tall figure walking away from the house. "grayson!" I shout out, causing him to only walk faster. "please just let me explain." I call out again and he stops, turning around quickly. "you don't deserve to explain anything, you wouldn't let me, why should I let you?" he spits.

my eyes droop when I get a really good look at his face. he had bags under his eyes and his eyes just didn't have the same light in them like before. "gray-" "no, lydia. I don't want to hear it."

"i'll let you explain what happened at prom, just hear me out okay?" I shout, angry that he wasn't listening to me. he turns back around, starting to walk and I walk next to him.

"that wasn't me, that was kissing that girl. it was ethan, I would never do that to you." he says when I least expect it. "i'm sorry I didn't listen to you. I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions and I should've let you explain."

"yeah, you should've. we could've still been together." he mumbles and my lip trembles. "did you really get over me that fast?" he stops walking and looks at me. I shake my head, "of course I didn't. I just thought being with ethan would help me get over you, and I know that's unfair to him because I still love you, but I really like him."

his rubs his lips together, looking away from me. "but are you in love with me?" a few tears slip from my eyes, "I am, and I always will be." his bottom lip quivers. "gray-" "i'm so in love with you, lydia. but ethan has you now. I can't take you away from him, I don't want to hurt my bestfriend. i'm sorry." he says and goes to walk away but I grab his arm and pull him to me.

our lips meet and move in sync. I will never get over this feeling I get when i'm with him. "I can fix this, just wait for me, okay?" I say once I pull away and grayson nods, pulling me back for another quick kiss. "I missed your lips."

I giggle and drag him back into the house, where we see everyone has left the dinner table and gone to work on their own things. I head upstairs with grayson and he points to a door and i'm guessing it's ethan's. "i'll be right back." I smile at him and let go of his hand, walking into ethan's room.

"hey, that talk took a while? what happened?" he asks when he sees me walk into his room. "about that, me and gray talked about everything and," I pause, really not wanting to make me seem like a bad person from going from twin to twin. "I really do like you a lot ethan, it's just, i'm still in love with grayson, and me being with you is only going to remind me of grayson."

he rubs his temples and huffs. "I knew this was going to happen. it's fine, though, I completely understand. it's better that you told me now instead of telling me before we got serious." he smiles at me and it takes me a while to comprehend what he had just said. he was okay with all this?

"you're not mad?" I furrow my eyebrows and he shrugs, "I mean, a little, I really like you and thought I could see us being together in the future but gray makes you happy and you make him happy. that's all I want, is for you guys to be happy."

my smile grows by the second and I hug ethan, "thank you so much for understanding." he hugs me back, and tells me to go get my man back. I laugh and rush out his door, meeting grayson in his room.

"hi baby." I coo and he looks up at me from his bed and smiles. "baby? I take that as we're together again?" his smile turns into a smirk and I playfully roll my eyes. "if you want us to be."

"hell yeah." he says in a deep voice and I swear my cat flew. I jump in his bed, attacking him with kisses. "you have no idea how much I missed this." he says quietly and I hum in response, "me too."
