My Brother's Best Friend | G.D. ✔️

9

I slammed my door shut making sure to lock it behind me.

I know I seem dramatic. But when the one person who has always had your back and been there starts yelling at you, it gets pretty damn emotional.

I started crying into my pillow. How could he yell at me like that? I'm not with the one person I'm in love with him for his sake and he fucking yells at me. In his defense he didn't know that.

I stand up when I hear a knock on my window.

"Gray" I sobbed as I opened the window for him. I needed comfort. And right now Graysons seemed better than anyone else's.

"Come here" he wrapped his arms around me as I sobbed.

"I know Mara. It's a little too much for you." He held me as I fell to the ground.

"He's just scared of losing you"

"I know but doesn't he realize that he's all I have too" I sobbed on Graysons chest as we sat there in the middle of my floor.

"He started calling everyone Mara. He was worried sick. He didn't know what happened to you. Your car was gone. Your phone was here, he thought you ran away or something"

Grayson picked me up and put me on my bed. He went over and shut the window. He came over and set my head on his chest as he ran his fingers through my hair soothing me.

"You're good at this" I sniffle and he chuckled.

"At what?"

"At making people not feel as shitty as before" I said making him grin.

"I know how it hurts Mara." He whispers.

"The person you love the most yelling at you. At least yours didn't say they hate you" I look up at him as he stared at me.

"Grayson I didn't mean that-"

"I know"

"You were just trying to push me away. It was the easy thing to do. And I needed to be pushed away"

"Try to get some sleep okay" he kissed my forehead slowly before getting up and shutting my lamp off.

"Gray" I whispered and he turned back to me.

"Yea"

"Stay"

It felt just like that night. The night I knew I needed him by my side. But this time he didn't question me. He took off his shirt and got in next to me.

"Do you trust me?" He says bringing my body closer to his.

"Like Aladdin trusts Jasmine" I say making him chuckle.

"I love you Mara"

"I love you too Gray"

His arm laid along my waist as I stayed close to him. Just having him close to me was enough for me. Having him here was enough.

"Gray?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you remember that day at the playground? When we were like 7 and we were playing hide and seek and Reece was it so we hid together?"

"And I promised I would protect you-"

I cut him off.

"And then you kissed me" I whisper.

"Of course I remember" he whispers.

"How could I ever forget that" he pushed a piece of hair behind my ear.

"I was already in love with you and then after that I was fantasizing about everything" I said making him laugh.

"You fantasized about me" I could hear his smirk.

"Shut up" I mutter to him.

"What did you fantasize about?" He whispers.

"Us. Our wedding. How many kids we would have. What their names would be."

"You were a crazy obsessed with me weren't you?" He said making me roll my eyes.

"So what would our kids names be?" He asks making me smile.

"Well seeing as we are both twins. I would say we would get a set of them. We would name them Eliza and Ace if they were a girl and boy. Or any extra names would be Crystal or Carter"

"We are not naming our daughter Crystal." He says making me offended.

"And why is that?"

"We don't want our daughter to be a stripper now do we?" He asked and I burst out laughing.

"How about Xenia?" He asked.

"I like that. Xenia and Ace fit together well" I smile.

"Perfect" he said making me grin widely.

"Do you think it's crazy that we are planning our future together? " I asked him already knowing the answer.

"So what if we're crazy for thinking this will happen. Normal never got anybody anywhere" he whispers intertwining our fingers. That same shock shot through me.

That wasn't the answer I was expecting.

"Mara about Ethan..."

"Don't bring him up now" I groaned annoyed.

"He wants to go back to military school. He only came back to see if you guys could ever be a thing. Now he says he's planning to go back"

That conflict was cut short. Although I'm grateful it was.

"He really thought we could ever be a thing?" I asked rolling my eyes.

"I guess so" I could feel him shrug.

Then something popped into my mind.

"Earlier when you were yelling at him. He said some about both of the Dolan twins what was it?" I asked curiously.

"Mara I don't think I sho-"

"Please" I whine.

"Fine" he gave in.

"He said that 'it's weird how both of the Dolan twins fell for the Reynolds daughter' and I knew about your past together and I just it pissed me off. He had the guts to make a move on you years ago and I didn't."

"You think that was a move? I didn't like him. If he thought that having sex with him would change that than he is just stupid. Are you jealous of the guy that I see in nightmares?" I asked chuckling.

"Goodnight Mara" he whispers.

"Goodnight Gray"

We both knew that when morning came that we couldn't be like this. But this was my only escape from reality. He stayed knowing that it would hurt seeing each other tomorrow and acting like everything is fine between us.

But too much has changed. These past two weeks, there has been too many things happening between us.

We haven't even kissed and I'm in love with him! Correction, we kissed once when we were seven.

If we ever kissed again, I don't think I could ever let him go.
