at first sight - ethan and emma

Chapter 52

Grayson's pov
Ethan came home the other night angry, he went to the backyard and starting breaking the extra wood we had from a recent video, it's unlike him. I've just been sitting in the living room waiting for him to come inside.

He comes inside and runs to his room, he comes back out with drumsticks, he runs to the guest house and I can hear him playing his drums.

Not too long after he runs back inside, puts his drumsticks away, grabs his skateboard, runs back outside, and starts skating on our ramp. He hasn't said a single word to me and I've been sitting here for hours.

He finally walks inside and sits on the couch, "Hey bro, you good?" I ask "yep." He says and stands up then walks to his room, and honestly I don't think I've seen him since. That was 4 days ago, my guess would be he sleeps during the day now and goes and does stuff around the house at night, he's fucking nocturnal now. I know he does this because I won't hear him all day, but when I wake up there's always a huge mess somewhere now.

Oh shit, I never even thought about how emma and Ethan's talk went. I hope nothing went wrong, I wonder if something happened. I'll FaceTime emma.

Straight to voicemail

I'll call Ethan

Straight to voicemail

What the hell, my only two friends won't talk, I'll go check on Ethan. I knock on his door, he didn't answer, his doors locked. I'll go to Emmas

I drive to Emmas, her cars not here though. Youre telling me I drove 20 fucking minutes away to check on my brothers girlfriend, and my best friend, just to find out she's not even here? This may sound weird but I do have a key to her apartment, I'll just see if her phone or her basic stuff is here.

I unlocked her door and it's very dark and gloomy in here, it smells good though, so she hasn't been eating any burritos lately.

I go up to her room since it was like right there to see if her chargers there and it's not, I look around the room and her drawers are open, and her suitcase is gone. Where did she go?
Ethan's pov
Ever since Emmas made me "breakup" with her it's been hard, she was my favorite person and I don't know what to do, I don't know if I should stay calm, yell, break something, play drums, skate, talk to someone, or call her. I'll try all of them

News check, nothing work. God I miss her so much, I didn't even know I could miss someone so much. I've just been laying in my bed since that seems to be the only solution, but I'm not tired.

It's been four days, I've slept maybe 6 hours in that time, I've just been chilling or taking naps during the day but at night I've been working out, skating, playing drums, or eating. I just don't know what to do with myself.

Ethma is over. Ethan broke up with me and it's all my fault, I could've easily stayed in the hug and everything would be fine.

I can't believe we broke up right before our one year. I don't even want to tell anyone, but I tell my mom. Her best advice was for me to leave LA for a little bit. She was on a business trip to San Francisco for a few weeks so she offered me to come stay with her because she was lonely, my dad has to stay back to be in charge of the company in Boston.

I packed my suitcase and I left the next morning, I couldn't be in that room anymore. I didn't bother cleaning, I plugged in an air freshener, turned off my lights, locked my door and left. I'm not telling anyone, I just hope no fans see me at the airport or anything.

When I landed in San Francisco I have my mom pick me up, the first thing we do is hug, I never hug my mom or really anyone but that's all I want right now. But I want Ethan's hug.

When we get back to my moms apartment (crazy rich and she wanted to be comfortable)I go straight to my room(my own room already), I turn on my phone for a minute and see that Ethan's called me, should I call him back? No. I can't. He doesn't love me anymore. I turn my phone back off and go to my laptop and look up "what's the best way to get over a heartbreak?" The best one was take a walk, but I don't like walking, I'll try it.

I get dressed and tell my mom I'm leaving, she says it's a bad idea but I need it. I grab my keys and go to my car, I'm not walking anywhere, but I will drive to the Golden Gate Bridge and walk around a little there.

I get there and since it's a Wednesday not too many people are around, just a couple tourists.

I got tired and thirsty so I get coffee, I was leaving and wanted to go home when I almost run into this boy, he has brown hair with blue streaks in it and very bright blue eyes, he's dressed in all black with rings and chains. Not too far behind him was a skinny boy with floppy light blonde hair and blue eyes holding a camera. They must be YouTubers

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to" the brunette said, and his voice is deep, "it's fine, I was in your way." I apologize "completely my fault." He says "if you say so. Are you guys YouTubers?"
"What gave it away?" He says and laughs "well besides the camera that one is pointing at us, he also has on a book bag and your wearing matching hoodies with 'xplr'" I say "oh." He says "so, just a hunch." He says and I laugh, "sure."
"I'm Colby," the brunette says "and I'm sam!" The blonde one says and walks over to us, his voice was higher than Colby's, by a lot "Emma." I smile "I'm a YouTuber as well."
"Oh, that's right, I didn't recognize you." Sam says "gosh darn it, I can't think of your last name, but you're dating Ethan Dolan, right?" Sam continues, Colby's smile suddenly goes down, but I forgot all about Ethan, I guess the walk helped, but now he's all I can think about. "Um, actually no." I bite my lip "we broke up."
"Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that." Sam says "oh, it's fine, don't worry about it." I say and brush it off with a smile

"what are you guys filming?" I ask "Well we wanted to go to Alcatraz." Colby says "I've been here a million times and I've never been to Alcatraz." I say, and it's true. "How?" Sam asks
"I don't know, I've never thought about it. But my friend, Hannah, has brought it up before I just wasn't feeling it." I say "wow. You don't know us but would you wanna come?" Colby asks "that's a great idea. A last minute collab?" Sam says, why not, it'll help me not think of Ethan. "Sure, why not" I say, throw my hands in the air and laugh, "sweet! Let's re-film an intro." Colby says

We walk to a random spot and set up the camera so you can see the Golden Gate Bridge,
"what's up guys, it's Sam and Colby." Colby says "and today, we are joined with our new friend, Emma Chamberlain!!! Yayy" Sam says

We finish the intro and walk to the docks for Alcatraz, I sit in the middle of Sam and Colby

When we get there it's super scary, "so I'm sure everyone knows what this place is but if you don't, From the many famous, or infamous, inmates that called Alcatraz home to the things that happened inside its walls, Alcatraz has been known to give tourists and locals the chills. Visitors have heard voices, clanging doors, and footsteps behind them as well as felt unnaturally cold in the Dining Hall. Others have reported feelings of dread as they see and smell "The Thing." So basically its very haunted and scary." Colby says , how did he memorize that?

We walk around until it gets dark out, then we start exploring, not really my thing but its whatever. "So Guys, now might not be the time but I'm horribly afraid of ghosts." I say and they give me a confused look "You kinda failed to mention that before." Colby says

We come across this cell when Sam opens up his bag, and pulls out and Ouija board, "fuck no." I say "fuck yes." Colby says "oh shit, I'm scared." I say "nothing to be scared about, we can protect you." Colby says and laughs "okay good." I say. I move closer to colby and I feel safe.

We start playing it at midnight, Sam and Colby ask a bunch of questions but no response, so I try. "Is something bad going to happen to us?" It moved to yes. "Oh fuck no!" I yell and take my hand off, "you can't take your hand off, trust me, it'll be okay. Here, let me take your hand. He put my left hand back on the board and starts holding the other one, Ethan didn't even cross my mind.
