~Kendalls pov~

I kept scream crying, and thinking at the same time.

Maybe Grayson does love me.

i mean he has always been more over protective than Ethan, but i don't think of him that way.

~Graysons pov~

Shit. Car broke.
I texted Kendal saying,
"be there soon. i love you."
"Ok. I love you more." My heart fluttered with her response.

We say i love you usually so this is normal.

~Kendalls pov~

damn.

Well at least I have ethan.

~Ethans pov~

what the hell did i do. I tried to hide the fact that i was crying but i couldnt.  i cant believe i did that. She would hate me.

Or worse

be scared of me.

Now she would never know how i truly felt.

(kendals pov)

i wasn't scared of Ethan anymore but i've never see him cry, so this is unusual.

I grabbed his hand that was resting on the arm rest. I squeezed as hard as i could. I continued to sob.

"itll be ok, we are almost there. squeeze my hand when ever it hurts. You can rest on my shoulder if you want. There is water in the glove box if you want it. "

I grabbed a water and started chugging.

I finished and laid down on his shoulder.

He rested his head on the top of my head.

I felt a tear touch my head.

We arrived. We drove around until we found a parking spot in the visito sections.

parked.

I lifted my head and he got out. He came around and picked me up. He was so much taller than me, so it was on my top toes just to hug him but he picked me up so I was about 6 inches off the ground. and i snuggled close to his chest. he put me back down and said,

"i will be right back, OK? take it easy and dont talk to anyone you dont know, ok?"

"o-ok"

He walked off, when i saw someone come out that i knew. I waved just as hello but they came over to me. That was not the intention.

He came over and said

"hey cutie whats wrong?"

"get the hell away from me jc"

"you and what army?"

you turned away and tried to close the door but he was too quick he grabbed the door and pulled it back wide open. quickly he grabbed my face hard and squeezed. it hurt. You started crying even more. He began to lean in, but something stopped him. He was pulled away fast.

It was a blur but, i had an outline of one of the twins.

I knew it was ethan.

"e-ethan stop"

i could barely talk. my head was pounding. I tried to stand but i fell as soon as i tried.

Then i woke up. all i could see was a bright light. I sat up and i heard ethan's voice.

"your awake thank god."

"yeah. whats going on"

"you got.... hurt"

he must have thought i forgot that he was the reason. Even though i didn't care anymore.

My phone buzzed and ethan looked at it.

I have never seen his jaw clench as hard as that before. He put my phone down and walked out. I stood up slowly to go check my phone.

It was a text from JC.

"i had fun. Lets do it again"

"Ethan come back I need you here with me."
He came back but he was angrier then ever.
"What happened after I fell?"
"We fought. Hardest I have ever tried in a high school fight."
"That was ridiculous"
"I know but when he touched you like that I almost passed out. I could stand it. "
"Your not my dad you know. You don't have to protect me all the time. Though I do always seem to find some way to appreciate it."
"I will never stop protecting you kendal Anne.
Shit. Middle name and everything.
He sat at the end of the hospital bed.
"You can come lay with me if you want."
He got up after a few second and came and squeezed next to me. We watched tv for hours until someone knocked on my door.
"Hello??"
"Hey it's Grayson let me in"
I tried to get up to go get the door but I fell a few seconds after standing.
"It's fine I got it" he was so comforting I couldn't stand it.
Ethan opened the door a few inches before Grayson rammed through and almost took the door off the hinges.
"What the hell happened explain everything." There was an awkward silence.
"I fell and Ethan took me here. I have a broken wrist and I'm on meds right now so I'm really tired and can barely stand. I already had surgery so I should be good to go by the time I can stand again"
"Ok are you ok? Do you need anything? Hungry? Thirsty? Anything?"
"I'm fine but thank you Grayson."
"Ok I have to leave and I'm so sorry but I will be back. Ok?"
"Ok"
He jogged out the door and it was just us again.
He came back to my hospital bed and sat were he was before. We watched some more tv until I fell asleep.
I had fallen asleep on his shoulder.
I woke up to the sound of people speaking And Ethan was not laying with me anymore. Of course he stood up. He had to be polite.
God. I love him.
"Yeah she is totally fine. She should be healed in about three weeks."
"Thank you anything she needs that I can give her when she wakes up?"
"No and speaking of which how do you know this young lady?" He asked eyeing Ethan.
"She is my girlfriend sir."
"Ahh well. She is a sweet young lady. I have known her for years"
"Yes sir. Shes a keeper" he replied.
He looked at me not knowing. I was awake. I could see his smile.
To my surprise, he was not lying.
The look he has when he lies is different. Never used it on me. Only his mom or Grayson, but it didn't matter. He was telling the truth.
Now I had known it.
Ethan Dolan likes me back.
