Peyton's POV:

As Ethan and I run to the basket ball hoops, I turn around to see Grayson with his arm around Alyssa. She seems to be upset and he looks like he's comforting her. I'm glad I can count on him to help her too.

Once they get sufficiently close and Ethan isn't looking, Grayson removes his arm and Alyssa looks at him with a frown. They come to me and smile.

"Alyssa, I'm gonna play hoops with E. Alright? Let me know if you need anything." She nods and I pull her to the back of the game.

"Ow, what's so-"

"I saw that earlier." I say.

"Whaaaat are you talking about?" She asks like she has no clue.

"That you blushed when Grayson said 'yeah, we talked a lot.' when Ethan asked if you had fun. What was that about?" I question.

"Nothing. Nothing happened. All we did was talk." She says as she tucks her hair behind her ear.

She's lying.

"Liar! Tell me the truth! What happened?!" I groan.

"NOT HERE." She says as she clenches her teeth. I jump back a little at the way she says it and I put my hands up in the air. She walks away and looks at the boys, mainly Grayson.

What happened on the ferris wheel?

I walk over next to her and she keeps her eye on them. She gets startled when she hears the bells and rings of the game, meaning someone won.

"HAHA! I TOLD YOU I WOULD WIN!" Grayson says as he dances goofily around Ethan. Alyssa starts to laugh and he slides over to her. I chuckle and he looks at me too.

"What are you two laughing about? I WON FUCKERS!" Alyssa had held in her laughs and just bursted with giggles. Grayson comes behind her and tickles her.

"GRAYSON STOP! I CAN'T BREATHE FUCK." She laughs and he stops. I'm laughing hysterically and Ethan walks over, chuckling.

"Wow Alyssa! Your face is so red!" He laughs. Ethan walks over to her and grabs her hand.

"Let's get going yeah?" Ethan says and we nod. As they walk off, Grayson looks at them and sighs. He starts to walk off and I run to him.

"Hey!" I say as I pant. He looks at me confused and keeps walking.

"Hi? What's up?" He asks.

"What's up between you and Alyssa?" I ask and he stops in his tracks.

"What did she tell you?"

"She hasn't told me anything. That's why I'm asking you." I imply.

"Well, I'm not telling you anything until she tells you and let's ME know. Alright? I respect her privacy as much as she respects mine." I shyly smile at his words and he looks at me confused.

"What?"

"Nothing. I'm just glad you respect her in general. You're a good man, Grayson." I smile and he laughs.

"Can I ask you something else?" I say politely. He nods his head for me to continue.

"Do you have any sort of feelings for her?" He keeps his head down but slowly nods 'yes'.

"How long?" I ask.

"How long have I liked her?" He asks. I nod.

"I realized about a year after they started dating. I've always treated her the way I do now, it was just different back then. YOU CAN'T TELL EITHER OF THEM THOUGH. Even when Alyssa tells you about today, you can't say anything. Alright?"

"OKAY GEEZ!" I chuckle and he slightly smiles.

"Your secret is safe with me." I wink and he chuckles.

Once we get to the cars, we say our goodbyes. Alyssa says goodbye to Ethan and he kisses her on the cheek. She looks down and slightly blushes. Grayson walks over to her as Ethan gets in the car.

"Talk to her alright? Let me know when you get home and we'll talk about everything later. And you know what I mean by everything. Alright?" He lifts up her chin and smiles. He pulls her into a hug and I hear her sniffle.

She better tell me soon.

AND HE BETTER TELL HER SOON ABOUT HIS FEELINGS.

He gets in the car and we do the same.

Time to hear this shit.

Alyssa's POV:

Peyton and I get in the car and fasten our seatbelts. I put the key into the ignition and drive off. As I'm driving, I feel Peyton staring at me. I turn to her and she turns her head to the window.

"You wanna know about what happened on the ferris wheel, don't you?" I sigh.

"Maybe..." She says a little high pitched.

"So, let me say what I need to say. Don't interrupt. HEAR ME OUT." She nods her head really fast and crosses her legs in the seat.

"We got onto the wheel and we didn't even talk for like the first minute. I was looking out the window and just thought, 'what am I gonna do about Ethan if this continues?' So I asked Grayson what I should do. He got closer and suggested I follow my heart. My heart was telling me to stay and he asked about my mind. My mind was telling me I'm better off without him and I sighed. I was holding in all these emotions from the past and now, that I didn't even realize I was crying until he pulled me into his chest. I made him promise me he would be by my side through anything at anytime. He said okay and he lifted up my chin. He smiled and we stayed there for a moment. All of a sudden, I felt this urge to just-"

"Alyssa, don't tell me what I think you're about to say." She groans.

"Let me finish." She nods and moves her hand to let me proceed.

"Our foreheads touched and I whispered, 'I shouldn't be doing this' and I kissed him. In that moment, it felt right and he kissed back. We both knew what we were doing and we knew it was wrong, but I couldn't help it. It was like this pulsing feeling. The only way I can explain it is that I have feelings I've never felt before for him, but I'm sure he doesn't feel the same way. Besides, I'm with Ethan and he's acted 'flirty' around me ever since we became friends. It's always been like that. He's never had bad intentions." I sigh and park the car. I turn over to her and her jaw is dropped.

"Alyssa, I- I don't know what to say. I mean, if I'm being honest, I've always thought Grayson was the cuter twin. I just don't know what to tell you! This is crazy! I mean, ever since us four have reconnected, it's been a little different but I didn't think it was THIS different!" She sighs and leans her head onto the head rest.

"What are you gonna do?" She asks.

"I don't know..."
