Part 20 - Gold is Fake & Real Love Hurts

Both Gray and I were equally confused now, what was Ethan talking about?

"What are you talking about Ethan?"

Grayson looked worried, "Come sit down E"

*Play song now*

Ethan sat down on the bed, crying more now.

"Hey hey what's going on?" I asked while placing my hand on his.

"A-am I enough for you guys? Like do I make your guys' life better? Or would you be better without me?"

Grayson was really worried now, " Ethan what do you mean? Of course you make our lives better. For fucks sake, you're my twin brother! What has gotten into you E?"

Ethan sighed, "Thanks I guess, but you don't wanna know."

He turned away from Gray and I.

"Ethan, who did this to you? And didn't you say you had something to confess?" I asked

Ethan looked down at his hands, and messed with his fingers, trying to avoid the question.

"Ethan" Grayson said sternly

Ethan looked up finally, "I drive everyone away, I am uncapable of being loved" (That's a mood Ethan)

I was confused, "Are you talking about the old Elliana?"

Ethan shook his head, "Not just her, I've done it to multiple people."

"What are you talking about Ethan? Elliana was taken back home because her dad got out of jail, not because you drove her away."

Ethan shook his head again

Grayson was confused, "What do you mean E? What actually happened to Elliana?!"

Grayson was practically yelling at this point, and Ethan hunkered down like a scared dog.

Ethan's voice was shaky, "Before she left, we got into a fight. I don't even remember what it was about, but I wasn't thinking and I said something I shouldn't have."

Grayson looked pissed, "What did you say to her Ethan!!?"

Ethan flinched at Grayson yelling, "I wasn't thinking, so I told her that she should just go back to you. She started to cry, and then stormed out of my room back to hers. She planned with her roommate on how she was going to escape the next night. She escaped while everyone was asleep. I woke up at the sound of the roof hatch opening, for it isn't the quietest thing in the world. I got up and tried to stop her, but it was to late. I didn't want you to be mad at me, so I made up a story. I'm really sorry."

Grayson was mad, but felt bad for his brother.

"Then why is it effecting you now?"

Ethan looked down, "Violet and I had a very strong connection, or so I thought, and I loved her. I'm not sure exactly what I did to make her leave, but it brought back all the memories with the old Elliana. I couldn't keep it to myself anymore."

Grayson hugged him, and I did the same.

Ethan glanced over at the fort, "I'm sorry for interrupting your guys' date."

I shook my head, "No, don't apologize. What you were dealing with was way more important than our date."

Ethan smiled, "Thanks Ellie, you're a great friend."

I smiled back and playfully punched him in the arm, "Thanks, you too"

I'm sorry if I don't update as much after this. I'm not really sure where i'm going with this book anymore. I know I have something big I wanna do, but that won't be for a while, and I need some stuff to fill the time gap. Any suggestions?
