You're My Sister Soulmate, Scratch the Sister.

Chapter 11

James' POV

I should've known, the possibility of this happening should've crossed my mind as soon as I stepped into the cafe and realized Grayson and I would be there alone.

Sunday morning I woke up excited, I was gonna see Gray and the possibility of being called 'cute' again definitely put a small smirk on my face.

'Clearly a very happy morning'

Then I turned on my phone, the excessive amount of tweets and Instagram videos I was tagged in smacked the smirk right off my face.

'Grayson Dolan and James Charles seen on a date'

'Grayson not as straight as the world thought?'

'James Charles did the impossible, snatched a Dolan'

'Grayson is gay and here's how we know'

This is all my fault, we weren't careful. We didn't post our photos, leaving it possible for the outside world to spin their own narrative. Now everyone thinks Grayson is gay and that we're dating.

"This is a fucking mess." I mumble silently.

Now I'm here, sitting on my couch, looking through the many theories and alleged 'facts' social media is promoting. It's scary how so many people could believe these assumptions so easily.

'Don't even get me started on the drama channels'

Grayson really doesn't deserve to be caught up in all this drama. I know he's seen this, it's everywhere and he would've been tagged in so many videos and photos, it's inevitable.

If he did somewhat like me before it's over now.

Oh, let's not forget about the Dolan stans currently attacking me in the comment sections of my photos.

This was a bad idea, everything is going to shit and I'm at a lost.

Ding ding*

"Fuck!"

Why now? Don't text me now, I don't want to fucking read it. I'm not gonna read it. I'm not. Screw that.

I open the message, I was curious and the temptation to see the text was too strong. Maybe I'm a masochist? Either way the message is exactly what I thought it would be.

Grayson Dolan:
Look I'm not feeling too well today. Maybe we can hang out another day?

This isn't a fairytale, I didn't expect Prince Charming to suddenly have feelings for me, I didn't expect him to make a life altering move for me. That's not how reality works.

'We both know you're not sick'

Me:
That won't be necessary, I don't think a promotion is needed for the video. Thanks for the collab :).

Let it go now, the longer you sit there playing best friends the more it will hurt.

'Our connection is fragile now, I can barely feel a thing from the other side. I guess it's not too long until it breaks completely'

I get completely lost in my own thoughts, the door opening and closing doesn't even register in my mind.

"Daddy's home..! What is this I heard about a date?"

My response is a scream, a well deserved appropriate scream.

"Damn it Drew." I place my hand over my erratically beating heart, silently begging it to slow down.
