In The End (Dolan Twin Fanfic)

37 Betrayed

Grayson's POV

Why did this always have to happen at family dinners? There was always something going on with my family man. But this was obviously more serious than anything else and for once I was actually involved in it and that killed me. Ever since I had said something to Ethan guilt had been eating me alive. Anxiety too. I didn't want my mom and my brother to have a messed up relationship. That's the last thing our family needed right now and here we are.

"Told you what?" Mom said kind of nervously.

"You tried to have my killed," I could feel Ethan anger.

"That's an over exaggeration," I budded in.

"Like hell it was!" Ethan was making a scene now.

"It is, I only told you she gave the doctors the okay to take you off of life support. She didn't shove a pillow in your face."

"Either way it was so I could die. Did you want me dead? Was your son too much a burden?" Ethan exploded.

Everyone around us was looking. Cameron was hidding her face in her hair and her phone.

"Ethan it's not like that all. I love you and you know that."

"If you loved me you wouldn't have done that!"

"Honey, calm down please. People are staring. How about we go talk about it at home?"

"No im not going anywhere with you. How could you do that to me?"

"Ethan..." I could see my moms heart was breaking. I know I should've just kept my mouth shut. I completely fucked this up.

"Ethan," I looked at him with tears in my eyes.

His face softened a tiny bit. I got up and so did he. We walked out do the restraunt away from the scene. Everyone watched us as we went outside to our Jeep.

"I shouldn't have told you. That's a conversation for you a mom. Not something I should've said."

"And it shouldn't have been said at dinner," Ethan sighed, "I feel so dumb but why would my mom ever do that to me?"

"Ethan you have to understand that she didn't mean it like that. Even I'm upset with her but I can understand her reasoning."

Ethan looked as if I'd just betrayed him.

"And what's her reasoning?"

"She was scared to watch you go. She didn't want to see you slowly die every day like she was. She couldn't afford having you on life support and the hospital bill. She wouldn't let anyone help her. She wanted to be the one to help her son. She's been having to work overtime everyday so she can get some money back man. And you know mom raised us. If mom wanted you gone, she would've done that a long time ago Ethan. She cares."

It kind of helped me saying that honestly. I know that's what happened but it's different when you say things out loud versus in her your head.

"Then why don't I feel it Grayson," He leaned against the Jeep, "Why do I feel like she doesn't care?" His voice broke at the end.
