Authors note at the end xx

James drops his phone and starts yelling for Grayson. The live goes dark. Ella knows she's done it; crossed the line. She's ashamed and mad at herself for exposing hers and Grayson's personal business and hurting James. In a matter of moments Ross is back on the phone, yelling at Ella and telling her she has to be ia for a while now.

Angel, Ethan, and Ian are all in shock. Grayson and Ella hooked up? When? Why? It made sense though. The two of them had acted different towards each other since they first met.

Ian was in a weird spot. The girl he's into fucked his brothers boyfriend. What the hell is he supposed to do in this situation. There isn't a self help book for that, at least he thinks? He also is mad at James for exposing Ethan and Angel, but Ella crossed the line in the end. Everything was tense so he got an Uber back to James' apartment (hello this is before James got his house pls don't come for me xoxo).

Angel was disappointed in Ella. She didn't tell her about the Grayson thing and exposed very personal information. She knew in her heart though that Ella was protecting her and Ethan so she went up to her and gave her a big hug.

Ethan was just shook as hell and decided to just stay out of the way and ignore everything  until things became less tense. He decided him and Angel would talk later. He was pissed at James though, for betraying his trust.

——at James apartment——

James was absolutely lost. Grayson didn't actually talk about his sexuality or anything or label it, but James thought he had found the perfect straight-gay man. He was lost and hurt. The one person who he thought he had in his court had slept with one of his bestfriends, or ex best friends, after that nasty comment. In order to stop himself from saying things he shouldn't, he kicked Grayson out.

Grayson was absolutely livid. Ella has now fucked him over multiple times. First, she hurt him. Then, she lead him on, and now, she might've ruined his relationship and his public image because of her comment. He's a very private person and for someone to betray that sucked. He knew it had hurt James and James probably thought he cheated, but he didn't. He can't deny however, if it wasn't for Ella leading him on he wouldn't of realized how much James actually meant to him. Which is actually really shitty but it didn't matter. It got him, him.

James kicked him out so he was on his way back home when he decided to call Ethan and ask if Ella was there. He, for sure did not want to see her right now after everything that had happened.
"Hey E, I was just wondering if Ella's still at the house? James kicked me out and I just want to come up and think and I don't really want to think about anything or see anyone."

It hurt Ethan to hear how hurt Grayson was so he told him he'd get everyone to leave.

Ethan went back into the living room to find the girls sitting on the couch figuring out what to do with their social media's. He didn't want to kick Ella out, but Grayson always came first. It was his twin for crying out loud.

Ella knew she had to leave and Ethan was very kind about it. This however caused him and Angel to fight because she was mad that Ella left since Ella was just defending them. Eventually Angel left also, to go find Ella.

Ella decided to go to the beach. She didn't know how to get there, but figured she'd find her way. Her phone was at 10% though so let's just say the odds weren't in her favor. Thankfully, Angel knew Ella would've went somewhere nature filled and was able to track her down after a couple of hours. The two ubered to a hotel and got a room. Today was a shit show.

——Ian finally getting home——

Ian made his way into James apartment worried, but also a little mad. James was a huge dick for exposing Ethan and Angel, but he also felt bad for his brother for his relationship getting jabbed at by Ella. He knew Ella and knew she only did it because James was hurting Angel and Ethan. He found James watching scary movies on the projector and tissues were placed everywhere. He walked over and sat down on the couch and waited for James to talk.

"Your shitty girlfriend fucked my boyfriend how convenient, I really can't find a boyfriend."

"She's not my girlfriend James, but what you did was shitty too. You hurt your two best friends just to be petty. You and Grayson wanted the same level of respect and came out whenever the two of you felt proper. They didn't get that. You took it away."

If James didn't feel like shit before, he definitely did now. He starts crying, harder, and Ian pulls him into his embrace. The two sit on the couch and finish the movie.

Similar proceedings happen at the twins' house. Except Grayson decides to head to the warehouse to blow off steam on the punching bag. Ethan was going to go with but decided to patch things up with Angel. Ella didn't want to be in the way so she left and decided to head to the boys' warehouse in order to avoid everyone. Especially Grayson, except of course he was already there. She should've known. He always goes to there when he's pissed. She tried to leave before he noticed she came in because he had the music really loud, but it was too late he spotted her in the corner of his eye. He paused the music and stopped what he was doing and went to talk to her.
"Ella, Wait. We need to talk."
"Grayson, I know, but I don't want to be around you if you're going to yell. I've been yelled at enough tonight"
"I'm not going to yell Ella please just talk to me."
She sighs and makes her way over to him. He's drenched in sweat and he decided to take his shirt off in order to cool down. Ella doesn't want to speak. She's already been chewed out enough, but she begins the conversation,
"I'm sorry Grayson. I never thought anyone would know. James was attacking Ethan and Angel and I just got pissed and wanted to hurt him too. That's so malicious but it's the truth. I love the two of your together so I just want everything to work out."

"I accept your apology, and completely understand your point of view but what you did wasn't good. It really hurt him and i. I know he was hurting Ethan and that made me pissed. Before James kicked me out though, he screamed we're over, but if someone hurts my brother, do I really want them?"

"I'm not going to tell you who and who not to love but I think he just fucked up like we all do, especially me like I know I do it all the time, and you deserve every right to be mad, but I don't think you should let it end the two of you. I know whoever is with you, you'll give them the world so you two deserve the best."

Ella's heart flutters a little bit because she's realizing how much that hook up really did mean to her. She wished they had never left that bed. That they weren't tied up in their own affairs, but she wasn't going to fuck up Grayson's relationship anymore than what got them started in this mess.

Grayson takes in her words and noticed her body language. He wonders if she really did have feelings for him. He never lost his for her, that's for sure.

He decides to get close to Ella. To the point of backing her against a wall.

"I wish things weren't so complicated, because right now, I just want to be here with you. But my head's telling me that's not right."

Ella can't help herself anymore. She mumbles 'fuck it' and kissed Grayson. He immediately reciprocates and they make-out hot and heavy. Ella breaks away though and tells Grayson they need to stop because this is the whole ass reason they're in this mess. Grayson doesn't. He just moves to her neck. He can't help it. She's like a drug. One hit and that's it, he was hooked. He can't stop himself from feeling her body. He loved James' body of course, but Ella's just felt right. It's like every time he hugged her or touched her skin, it was a second home. Ella can't bring herself to stop him. She loves the way he knows her body more than her. Things keep intensifying when. . .

Oh no another cliff hanger.
I am so so so sorry for the lack of updating. Life has just been throwing me curve ball after curve ball so it's like I've had no time to write. I just want you all to know I love you.
