song: come out and play by billie eilish

Grayson's POV:

I call Ethan and he picks up.

"Hello?"

"Ethan, what the fuck is wrong with you? How could you do that to her?" I say angrily.

"I don't know. I don't understand what came over me but it happened. I didn't mean to hurt her, but I did. And it was a mistake."

"It doesn't change that you did it. Where are you?"

"I'm at Walmart by the house. Why?"

"I need to get some stuff. I'll see you there." I hang up and make a right turn.

I park the car and go inside. I head to the cereal aisle because for some odd reason, he's always there.

I see him and touch his shoulder. He turns around and I punch him in the face.

"BRO, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" He yells.

"DID YOU REALLY THINK YOU WERE GONNA GET AWAY WITH HURTING HER EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY?!" He stays quiet and looks down at the ground.

"That's what I thought. You know, for being twins, we sure as hell don't have the same mentalities." I scoff.

"Screw you." He says and I walk off.

I go back to my car and slam my hands on the wheel.

"Fucking shit, Ethan. Fucking shit." I lean back onto the seat and sigh.

Alyssa.

play the song🥰

I shake my head and start the car. I head to Wendy's, as a surprise for her, and get her favorite.

Once I get the food, I head home and knock on the door.

"Hey, you're back... and with my favorite! Gray, you didn't need to do this." She smiles.

"I needed to find another way to make you happy." I smirk and she grabs the food, setting it on the counter.

We start eating and I glance at her. She licks her lips and takes a bite of her burger. She melts at the taste of it and I smile. I continue eating and she sets her food down, looking at me.

"What?" I say with a mouth full of French fries.

"Can we watch a Christmas movie after we eat?" She shyly smiles and eats a fry.

"Sure. I mean, thanksgiving is tomorrow." I laugh.

"Speaking of thanksgiving, I kinda need to visit my parents. Peyton and I are flying to Texas tomorrow. I have two free plane tickets, if you and Ethan wanna come..."

"I would love too, but I don't know about Ethan. We'll talk after the movie. Let's go to the couch." We finished and started Christmas with The Kranks.

She leans her head on my shoulder and I wrap my arm around her.

"Thanks for being here for me." She whispers.

"Always." I whisper back. I smile and look out her window. I see snow outside and jump up.

"Gray, ow. You just let me fall." She laughs and I pull her up.

"Grayson, what is up with-" I turn her to the window and she stares.

"IT'S SNOWING!!" She runs to the window and puts her face on it. I laugh at her smushed nose and she smacks my arm.
