ETHAN
"I think that's the last box." I said to Grayson. The back of his trunk was filled to the max. I looked to my parents who were standing outside awkwardly. Shaking my head I decided to walk over to them, "You know I'm going to be in the same state right?" I laughed.

"I know sweetie." My mom squeezed me. I was literally suffocating, but I figured it was a nice gesture and they wouldn't see me until a holiday. Maybe.

"I love you guys." I waved her and my dad goodbye going back to Grayson's car.

He was looking at me smirking and all I could do was roll my eyes. I wonder smart comment he was about to make now. As he pulled out the driveway, he almost hit someone's damn mailbox. "No, no, no! Let me drive." I looked at him.

"Why do you want to drive my car?"

"Because clearly you can't. Move."

We both swapped spots, and it was now me behind the wheel. "I would not have been able to take more of a second of that unpleasant driving of yours."

He rolled is eyes in response causing me to smile. I tried paying attention to the road, but he looked really good today. The way his biceps moved when helped me move all of those boxing was especially hot. I liked Grayson, hell I loved him, and it was as much more than a friend. But Grayson never really showed interest in guys. Especially me who happens to be his best friends. That's like awful. Well so think it would.

But you can't help but like him. His smile, laugh, awful jokes, hideous driving, all of the above. To be completely honest, I've known Grayson for 2 years, and he hasn't sparked one bit of interest in me. So, I came to the conclusion that he was gay, and I was going to be struggling seeing him with every girlfriend he brings to the table. Amanda. I hated her. She was the new fling. She just so her. She's a bitch to me, and always a bitch to him.

To be completely honest there were times I wanted to kill her. But they've only been dating for a month I'm going to give them another month before they break up. If they don't then I might as well give up.

"What are you thinking about?" Grayson asked me.

I looked at him trying to get nervous, I mean he was my best friend, Christ, "I- Nothing. How long before we're there?"

"Few minutes. Turn up here." He said.

I nodded in reply.

"So how's Amanda?" I brought up hoping for some form of a negative change.

"Fine." He replied simply.

I tried hard not to smile. That doesn't mean anything though, Ethan. They didn't break up. She's probably going to come back to him with those puppy dog eyes.

I nodded.

It wasn't long before we pulled into Graysons driveway. He had a pretty nice sized home. I was kind of jealous.

He looked at me, "Well, ready to get to work?"

I playfully slammed my head on the wheel.

He laughed, "What are you going Ethan? I don't want your head musk on my wheel."

"You know how many times you've put your arm musk on me though!" I joked.

"Whatever." He slapped my arm.

"Wow, that hurt so much." I said getting out of the car.

Looking in the truck we decided it would be best to start with the bigger stuff.

"Is anyone else here like Jack? Doug?"

"No, but Amanda is here."

"She's not going to want to help though." We said in unison.

We broke out in laughter. However, I still was a little upset at the fact she was here. Did she stay here? I wanted to spend quality time with my best friend because of my work and class schedule next week.

I could tell she's was going to here as long as she dated Grayson. But at least I have the opportunity to live with him.

"Are you going to drown in your thoughts or come help?"

"Coming."
