Two stages of Grief
4. Depression 🥺
2 weeks later.
3rd POV.
"Well I finished it." Ethan announces jogging alongside Bryce. They were now in 5th Period. About 10 minutes left of class. A whistle is heard as everyone sighs in content. Walking to the locker rooms. Bryce and Ethan part ways as Ethan hurried to change. Changing into a long sleeved sweatshirt and sweatpants. Slinging his book bag on his back as the bell rings.
He walks out just to be stopped by Grayson's best friend, Mark. Mark pulls him to the side. "What'd you do to Grayson?" He questions. Ethan's face contorts in confusion. "I didn't do anything?" He replies. Mark begins to walk past but Ethan stops him. "He acts perfectly fine around me." Ethan remarks walking by Marks side exiting the locker room.
"The kids been crying and texting me weird things. About how he wants to be with you again but he doesn't deserve you. Ethan I'm getting sick of hearing him whine and have mental breakdowns over you. Talk to the kid please." He assures patting Ethan's shoulder. Grayson didn't come to school because he was 'sick'. Although that has been his excuse for the last week.
Mark leaves Ethan's side walking to the front office. He's going to inspect if Grayson really sick. Or is it to see if what mark said was true. Signing himself out he quickly walks out of the school. Heading to his car as he quickly drives home. Reaching the house as he notices that his parents aren't home.
Locking the front door as he walks over to place the bag down. "Grayson I'm home!" Ethan exclaims. He heads upstairs opening the door to find Grayson completely still. Walking over to the boy's bed sitting near him. Ethan removes the covers off of Grayson's head and sighs at his tear stained cheeks. So Mark wasn't lying.
He slightly shakes Grayson. His eyes slowly opening until he meets Ethan's face. "Are you okay?" Ethan questions him seriously. He sniffles and turns around making his face completely stern. "I'm fine, why are you home early?" He croaks his voice raspy from all the emotions.
Ethan kicks off his shoes pushing Grayson over. He crawls into bed with him lying exactly near him. Turning to face Grayson as he checks the time and on his phone. "Don't mind me, now tell me what's wrong?" Ethan questions scooting closer to Grayson's figure. He doesn't respond at first, just casually stares at Ethan. "I talked to Mark you know."Ethan mutters under his breath.
Grayson's eyes widen as he quickly sits up. "What'd he say?" He asks voice slightly becoming more groggy. "Well from his perspective, you were crying over me but apparently you don't deserve me." Ethan grins watching as Grayson mutters multiple profanities underneath his breath. Grayson nods assuring that all the statements told were in fact true.
"Well I don't c-cry over anyone!" Graysons stutters putting on a tough act. Ethan rolls his eyes wrapping his figure in cover. Grayson lays down once again. This time laying his head on Ethan's stomach. Wrapping his arms around him as he lays still. "But I don't deserve you. I'm a fucking screw-up!" Grayson exclaims muffled by Ethan's sweatshirt. Ethan stays completely silent. His eyes widening as he feels moisture on his sweatshirt.
Tugging on Grayson's hair as he quickly sits up. Grayson scoots near him as Ethan wraps him into a hug. "Hey don't cry you're not a screw up." Ethan remarks slowly comforting the boy. "Tell me one moment when I didn't screw shit up." Grayson awaits Ethan's response. "You weren't a screw up when you were pretending to date me." Ethan points out.
"Ethan if I could take all that back I would." Grayson sniffles wrapping his arms around Ethan's waist. "I know you would Gray." Ethan assures placing kisses all around his head. In a friendly way. The sound of the front door is heard along with keys. Disregarding that as they lay there in peace. Grayson still snuggling up to Ethan.
"Don't put yourself down Gray. I've never met a perfect person." Ethan remarks. Grayson looks up at him in confusion. "What are you talking about Ethan? You are perfect . I've never met anyone who stays as positive as you do. Who looks unwillingly beautiful as you do. I've never met someone who takes their time to comfort their ex." Grayson finishes as Ethan blushes a deep red.
"To say you've never met someone perfect is an understatement to looking in the mirror everyday. You make me feel all giggly inside a-and that scares me. I'm just lucky enough to had have the pleasure of once calling you m-"
Grayson was cut short by Ethan leaning down capturing his lips with his. His eyes slowly closing once in contact. Grayson flips them over allowing Ethan to straddle him. The sound of their lips smacking in pleasure was the only thing heard. Grayson smiles into the kiss as his hands lead down to Ethan's waist.
Pulling away as Grayson keeps his eyes closed. Ethan chuckles but casually sits on his lap. Grayson licks his lips as he sighs in pleasure. Actually opening his eyes to be met with Ethan's.
"Take me back E, I wanna date you for the pleasure of dating you this time." Grayson begs.
"I'll think about it."
My dad really is that bitch.
