Chronicles of Living with Your Ex: A Grayson Dolan Fanfic

Before I Could Stop

GRAYSON'S POV

I sit on my bed, and read my philosophy book. I highlight this quote, and reread it. 

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage." – Lao Tzu.

Having to choose between my brother and the love of my life, is the hardest decision I have ever had to make. I love Ethan, but the way he is treating everyone is unacceptable. Now, he is going to clubs and getting wasted every night. He has been gone for a month, and he already forgot his roots. I wonder if he actually kissed Brandi. That would destroy Charlie. Brandi is her best friend, even when we were together she would always make sure Brandi was okay. I honestly, used to be quite jealous of Brandi. I am broken out of my thoughts when I hear a light knock on my door. I get off my bed and open my door to reveal a crying Charlie.

"I am sorry, I should have just dealt with this alone, but I--" I don't say anything, but pull her into my chest. "Shh, it's okay. Gray's got you." That is when she breaks. We both drop to the floor and I pull her into my lap. I rock her as she lets out all of her emotions. I don't dare ask what is wrong, but continue to tell her comforting things as I play with her hair. 

***30 minutes later (In Spongebob narrator voice)***

"Grayson?" Her voice broke the nice silence that was created when she stopped crying. "Hmm?" She looked up at me with her hazel eyes. "Why did we break up?" I looked down and replied, "Because, I am an asshole and cheated on the girl I was in love with." She nodded and said, "Was in love with?" My eyebrows shot up. "Not what I meant. I am still in love with you, but I am trying my hardest not to push my boundaries that you placed." She didn't say anything else, but put our lips together. I was surprised, but quickly returned the kiss. Her hand wrapped around my hair, and slightly pulled at it. My hands found her waist, and guided her to straddle my lap. We turned our head slightly to the right and deepened the kiss. She bit onto my bottom lip and pulled, when she released it, it went back into place. I made a slight groan as I used my tongue and swiped her bottom lip. She met my invitation with her tongue causing us to fight for dominance. She started kissing down my jaw to my neck sucking lightly. Breathlessly I reply, "Charlie, what are we doing?" She stopped and looked at me. Her eyes were filled with lust, "Something we will regret, but it feels great. So, why are you stopping it?" I sigh and lift her off of my lap. "I am stopping you from feeling regret. Plus, you are using me as a rebound because my brother hurt you. That is all I will ever be to you anymore. A rebound." Her face held shock, as I got off the floor and walked over to my piano. I plugged in the headset to it, and started playing tuning out everything. I felt a tap on my shoulder, but I continue to play. The headphones were ripped off of my head. "Listen to me!" I continued to play, even thought everything in me wanted to argue with her about how I am not a rebound. "Fine. If you want to be a child, than I will leave you alone." 

With that, she slammed my door and I continued to pour my emotions out on my piano. "What am I going to do with her? I am just trying to save us from getting hurt."
