| Emma's POV |
Once I'm in the car on the way to the open gym I feel like I've done the wrong thing. Should I have stayed with Ethan? He didn't look good and if he breaks while I'm gone, is that my fault?
I'm thinking super hard and when my phone ringtone snaps me out of my trance I notice that I have tears spilling down my cheeks.
I don't know why, it's probably just because of the thought of Ethan being on his own when he needs someone. When he needs me.
I pull up on the side of the road and pull out my phone from the middle compartment and answer Ellie's contact ID. What did she want?
"Hey are you busy?" She asks and I run my shakes hand over my face. I need to calm the fuck down.
"I'm on the way to an open gym, what's up?"
"Can I come? I want to talk with you?" She questions and I take a deep breath. Did she want to finally ask which twin I was dating so she could hook Lauren up with Grayson?
"Look Ellie I don't feel like spending time with Hannah I-"
"It'll just be me" she interrupts and I scowl at the phone but don't say anything "look Ems, just trust me, okay?" Her voice kind of wavers and I panic so I agree to meet her outside the gym in ten.

I'm trying to do a backhand spring but I'm struggling, I'm sweating super bad and there's a load of topless men watching me and I feel like screaming that I have a boyfriend.
Ha.
I don't ACTUALLY have boyfriend, I mean I do but it's not official.
I've missed gyms like this truthfully, I'm enjoying the aching in my legs and the hype feeling after I land something perfectly. The music they're playing is... interesting, I guess you could say it's my only dose of pop music.
I take a seat next to Ellie, heavily panting. I take my water bottle into my mouth and turn to watch as she fiddles with her fingers
"Look Emma we need to talk" she finally breaths and I pull the water bottle from my mouth to listen more intently
"Okay. What about?" I ask and she itches her nose anxiously and begins
"You're in trouble" she says bluntly "and I'm sorry I didn't know before because now it's partly my fault" she sighs and looks up to the ceiling of the gym
"Why? What's wrong?"
"Hannah-" she sighs "-she's got this weird plan with Lauren, Grayson's ex girlfriend"
I laugh, of course me and Ethan were right. Wow we could be a fucking crime team. Who'd watch that? 'Ethma on the scene' or something like that.
"Oh I know, she wants Grayson but he ain't interested. He's got a girlfriend and the cheating bitch has been long forgotten"
It must be a bit anti-climax for her to think that she had something new to tell me only to find out that we're basically the fbi, maybe our fans actually took after us!!
"No Emma" she says with a stern face. No? What does she mean no? "It's not Grayson she wants"
I growl for some reason probably at my own thought of her wanting MY Ethan.
"Who then?"
"You." She states and I crumple my face.
"Why the fuck does Lauren want me?" I spit, chugging a large drink of my water. I nearly spit it out when Ellie begins to talk again,
"It's her fuck buddy that wants you, not specifically her. But now that Hannah's been to the twins house, she knows you live there and so I'm guessing so do they"
The thought of Lauren having a fuck buddy floods back memories of the conversation with Grayson when he said he found her cheating. I suddenly feel sick.
"Is it the same boy she cheated on Gray with?" I ask and Ellie nods saying that she had only accidentally overheard all of this "so why does he want me?"
I think about it for a second, if Lauren and this douche bag shows up at the twins house I'd love to murder them both- simply for hurting my Gracie.
"He didn't tell you?" Ellie scowls "Ems everyone knows"
I nearly stumble back at her words. He lied to me, didn't he? Not only does Ethan know but everyone from high school does too.
"N-no I d-don't" I manage to stutter out touching my bottom lip as a comforter to stop me from crying again
"It was Aaron, Ems"
