TWENTY EIGHT / BBF

Grayson's pov

I had been laying in bed ever since I got back from Sofia. I just can't deal with this. My feelings for her are undiscribable.
She's amazing in every sort of way.
But something inside of me is saying we'll never get back together.

"Gray, you up?" Ethan knocks on my bedroom door.
"What do you want E?" I groan and roll over.
"Can you just get up! I'm sick of you staying in your room for days! Just get out of the house already." Ethan groans as he opens the door and pulls the blanket off me.
"Get up." Ethan demands. I obey him and stand up. He pushes me to my closet and I open the drawers. Ethan leaves and I put on my black ripped jeans, a light pink t-shirt and my blue jean jacket.

I walk downstairs and open the fridge but Ethan slams it shut.
"You're getting us starbucks." Ethan hands me ten dollars and guids me to the door.
"Why such a hurry E?" I ask annoyed.
"It's freaking 3pm already dude, just get me my starbucks. You know the usual." I nod and get in my car.

•••

I wait in line until it's finally my turn.
"Hello, a caramel frappe and a vanille frappe, both whiped cream and coffee." I order.
I pay and than wait for my drinks.

As their ready, I grab them and turn around but notice someone familiar in the corner.
Sofia.
But she's not alone, she's with a boy..
I see her smiling and than she places her hand on top of his'.
I can't believe it.
Well, not that she likes someone else but, just that I really lost my chance.

I rush out of my car and get inside. I leave Ethan's vanille frappe on the kitchen counter and throw mine in the trash since I already drank it. I grab a beer out of the fridge and take it upstairs.

Ethan and I both don't drink beer but sometimes when our dad comes, we have it in house.

I slam my door shut and sit on the side of the bed wich is the farrest away from the door and so my back is facing it. Tears escape my eyes and I open the beer bottle. I bring the bottle to my mouth and take a sip.
I immediately drink the rest and let the bottle fall on the ground. It isn't broken luckily.
I bring my face to my hands and cry silently.

Why can't I just never have what I really want...

Sofia's pov

It's 5pm and I finally arrived at Grayson and Ethan's house. I knock on the door and it immediately swings open, revealing a panicking Ethan. He pulls me inside and closes the door. He runs both his hands through his hair and turns to me.

"He's been in there for more than an hour, I don't know what happened." Ethan sighs.
"Can I go upstairs?" I softly ask.
Ethan nods quickly, still shaking.
I pull him and a hug and he calms down.
"It's gonna be okay Ethan." I smile against his chest. He takes some deep breaths and I head upstairs.

As I reach his door I hear his sobs getting louder.
"God dammit you Sofia." I hear him mumble.
I softly knock on the door, waiting for his responze.
"I told you to go away Ethan!" Grayson says.
I open the door and slowly walk in. He's sitting on his bed, his back facing me. And even tho I still can't see his face, I can tell he's looking like a mess.

I slowly approach him and sit next to him. I don't think he noticed it's me since his hands are covering his face. I sigh and kneel in front of him. I grab both his wrists and pull his hands away from his face.

"Wh..what are you doing here?" Grayson wispers, and he's voice breaks.
"Ethan called me. What's wrong Gray?" I softly ask and whipe away a tear that is rolling over his cheek.
"I saw you at starbucks wi..with hi..him." Grayson sobs and tries to hide his face again but I hold his wrists.
"With who Grayson?" I ask softly.
"That b..boy." He sniffs.
"Who Mike? What about him Gray?" I ask.
"I just can't stand to see you with other guys." He sobs.
My heart melts but at the same time drops.
"He's my friend Gray, I met him today." I say softly.
"But y..you were smiling a..and you t..touched his hand." He sobs a little harder.
"He told me about his break up and I just gave him some advice." I smile.
"B..but you looked so ha..happy." Grayson bites his lips to hold in his sobs.
I wrap my arms around his shoulders and his arms slowly find its way around my waist.
"Don't worry Gray, everything is fine." I resure him. I look at the ground next to me and see a beer bottle laying. I sigh and hug him tighter, laying the side of my head on his shoulder as his face is hidden in my hair.

"I just can't see you with other men Sofia." Grayson mumbles. I don't think I was suppose to hear that but it made me smile.
