| Emma's POV |
Grayson knocks his knuckles against the open door frame, he has this wide goofy grin upon his face.
"Gracieeeee" I sing tapping down on Ethan's bed. He's currently out buying snacks because he wants a chill movie day "spill the tea" I smirk at my best friend who blushes bright red.
"So I turn up and she comes to the door in her robe-"
"WAIT BEFORE YOU GO INTO DETAILS JUST SPILL... DID SHE SAY YES?" I ask with a hyper clap and he does a vigorous head nod and I scream. It's loud and Grayson has to cover his ears but he has the biggest smile placed upon his face.
"Of course she said yes, who could resist me?" He chuckles and I scoff, slapping his chest making him laugh much louder.
"I don't even know her name" I remind him and he nods and tries to say her name but he can't stop smiling "stop with your cute ass. AND. TELL. ME"
He turns red again but finally allows her name to roll of his tongue
"Sarah"
"It's a cute name. I'm happy for you honestly" I beam and he does a squeal of excitement just at the thought of her.
I can't help but wonder if Ethan reacts this way towards me.
"Okay okay stop now otherwise I'll actually melt" Grayson chuckles "let's talk about OTHER things" he says hinting at something that I can't pinpoint, he raises an eyebrow and I scowl at him.
"I'll make you a deal then you, nosey fucker" I smirk and he leans back on his arms nodding for me to lay down the rules "I tell you something and I get to ask you a question in return"
Grayson scoffs and extends out his hand and I vigorously shake it as he tells me that it's a deal.
"Are you dating my brother?" He snaps like he's DYING to get it off his chest, I lean back to mirror his posture and laugh,
"No" I waste no time to dwell before firing my question "have you fucked Sarah?"
His face falters and then he chews down on his lip squeezing his face in as if to try and convince himself to lie. This mother fucker.
"I'm the Virgin Mary I would nev-"
"YOU LYING BASTARD" I shout and he stops himself from talking. He and I both know the truth so we speak no more of the topic.
I wriggle myself out of bed and stand up wincing unnoticeably before leaning myself back on Ethan's desk to get a better view of Grayson's expressions as he answers.
"Did you ever fancy me in high school?" He smirks and I scoff, he looks offended but then softens his face when I speak
"You were hot, Gray, but also taken PLUS I put all my time into thinking of hard hitting insults for Ethan. So I didn't have much time to fantasise about fucking you back then"
"Back then" he says wiggling his eyebrows "so you think about fucking me now?" He asks in a sarcastic growl and I roll my eyes back into my head
"Don't flatter yourself, Gracie. You got Sarah to satisfy your needs now. Back down" I shoot back biting my lip to stop myself from laughing
"Elmo, that fucking sounds like you were SaTiSfYiNg My NeEdS before" he says mimicking my high voice, I vigorously shake my head to deny everything he was saying.
"My turn" I remind rubbing my chin "how'd you break up with Lauren?"
Grayson let's go of an almighty sigh and rubs his temple as if he's re-living the whole experience
"I went round to her house the day of us leaving but I found her on top of some other dude" he shrugs "I left her behind and we hadn't spoke... until yesterday"
My heart begins to ache for him, how could she do such a thing to someone so precious? How could someone so vile looking want other men after having someone this good looking.
Baffles me.
"Who was it?" I ask with sad eyes, he scratches the back of his neck and shakes his head. The way he does it makes me anxious, I know it must be hard for him to think about it. Maybe I over stepped?
"Not relevant" he gulps down "I haven't told E so if I was to tell you, I feel like morally I'd need to tell him first"
"I understand" I smile and there's a silence before he peeks back up to ask another question.
"Are we still being deep?" He asks and I shrug him on, the fact that he feels comfortable doing so makes me extremely happy and I wouldn't ever deprive us of that type of bonding "why'd you stay with Aaron for so long"
I clench my jaw so hard that my teeth begin to hurt, even his name affects me in away I can't describe.
"A lot of people made me feel unworthy so when he got with me it was the first person who didn't make me feel like that. I thought that was love, and I never knew any different" I explain and Grayson watches me intently with them kind eyes that tell me that it's okay to carry on if I wish to.
"Does E treat you like he loves you?" Grayson's asks concerned and I laugh for some reason and run my hands over my face
"We're not even together and he makes me feel so loved. But-" I stop myself as if what I'm about to say is wrong
"Go on" He insists
"I'm so scared that he's starting like how Aaron did. What stops him from changing and hurting me too?" I croak in a small innocent voice and Grayson leans forward resting his elbows on his knees
"Me" he says sternly "I stop him from hurting you and so god help me if he does hurts you" I reach forward and place my hand upon his clenched fists just at the thought and he stops tensing.
"Okay it's me" I state leaning back against the draw "how did ethan meet Meredith and why did he tell her that he hated me?"
"But that's not a question for me I-"
"I asked you it and you're able to answer it, so therefore it's a question for you" I snap back and he groans as if he already knows he's going to give in.
"Through YouTube, she reached out to him after a video we did and they talked on the phone. It was only a few months after we left Rydell High and he was stressed that you hadn't come to find him. She offered to come round when he had this big breakdown- I don't know what happened that day but she's been obsessed since"
It seems feasible, she was definitely insane and if she wants him for herself of course she was going to spit what she thought would hurt me most. Although it stabbed my heart back then, it barely fazes me now.
I know better.
"She stole a jumper when she came" I say suddenly remembering.
I hobble my way to the wardrobe wincing
"Elmo, why're you limping?" Grayson asks and I stop in my position and slowly turn on the balls of my feet to look at his with a heated face "NO WAY! HE FUCKED YOU!" He exclaims.
I don't say anything for a long period of time because then there's a familiar figure at the door with two carrier bags swinging from each hand. Ethan.
Before I get to even say hi to him Grayson screams,
"HOLY SHIT BRO YOU FUCKED HER!" He springs off the bed to high five him as Ethan shoots me a look "DUDE, SHES LIMPING REAL GOOD" he's bouncing like a child.
I stay quiet getting more and more embarrassed as Grayson speaks
"YOU DID GOOD" Grayson hollers raising his hand but before they can collide I blurt really fucking loudly,
"GRAYSON FUCKED SARAH"
