all a bet - Ethan Dolan

FIVE

Ethan ; 

"Down for a party tonight?" I heard someone whisper to me during class.

I turned around to see who was talking to me. It was a girl I've definitely seen before.

"At my place. Everyone will be there you should come and have some fun." She said winking at me before going back to her work.

I wouldn't mind a party tonight. I texted Sam, and he said he already knew about it and was planning on going anyway. 

Okay, so I guess I'm going.

----

That night me and my friends pulled up to the party and there were probably over 300 people there. There were people from all over the place here.

"College girls." Blake said winking then walking into the house.

"Hell yeah." Sam said high fiving me.

"Let's go." I said smiling.

The first thing we did was get a drink and then start dancing, cause what else would you do. 

Halfway through my drink, I got a call from Grayson.

"Where are you?" He asked 

"What?!" I yelled in the phone.

"One second!" I yelled again walking to the front yard where it was much quieter.

"Where are you?" Grayson asked in a stern tone.

"At a party?" I said confused

"Oh, well can you come home?" He asked 

"Why? I mean probably, but why?" I asked making sure I had my keys

"Moms not gonna be home tonight and I something happened" he said quietly.

"uhh okay is everything good?" 

"Yeah, everything is fine." He said calmly

"Okay, I'll be home in a minute." I said hanging up.

I said bye to everyone and headed home, which didn't take too long.  

When I walked in I saw Grayson sitting on the ground bleeding.

"What the hell!" I yelled running over to him.

There was a broken window and a vase on the ground and Grayson looked like he was about to cry.

"What happened!? Why didn't you tell me on the phone!" I yelled at him helping him up.

His whole left arm was bleeding out and there was glass shards everywhere in his arm.

"I-I'm sorry. I d-didn't want to w-worry you." He stuttered out.

"Well, now I'm worried dammit." I said getting a towel.

"Where's mom?" I asked as we walked to the car.

"I- I don't know she j-just left." He said holding back tears.

"Okay okay i'll call her when we get to the hospital, you'll need stitches for sure." I said feeling stressed.

"Y-yeah, I d-don't know w-why I d-did that. I punched the w-window. Me a-and Chloe g-got in a f-fight. I don't know w-why, but we d-did. I don't think she'll e-ever talk to me again." He said letting tears roll down his cheek.

It really hurt seeing him like this. I know Chloe will talk to him again, or at least I hope she does. I can't imagine them ever getting into a fight so bad that they break up.

"Hey man, don't say that, please. You guys will never break up and I know that for a fact. Look we're almost to the hospital and I'll call her and tell her to come and sit with me while we wait for you to get fixed up." I said seeing the hospital in view. 

"Do you think she'll talk to me?" He said with a little hope in his eyes. 

"Yes gray, she will." I said nodding my head pulling into the hospital. 

---

Gray was getting his stitches while Chloe and I talked about everything. 

"This is my fault." She said stressed out.

I rubbed her back not sure how to help out.

"It's no one's fault, Plus he'll be okay.." I said seeing her give me a small smile.

"What was the fight about? Grayson said it was pretty serious..." I said trailing off. 

Maybe it was too soon? 

"Oh... yeah... well basically we were trying to watch a movie and I got a notification from a guy saying goodnight bb <3 or something like that. So when it popped up on my screen Grayson obviously got confused and asked what it was about. I told him it was nothing, because it was just some creepy old guy texting me, that I was supposed to block, but I didn't and then he texts me again saying something like oh so no you're not responding should I come over and spank you ;) and at that point Grayson was pissed. He wanted to talk to him, and as I tried to explain Grayson got even more mad...and I might have said some things that made him even more mad cause eventually he told me to leave. And so I was mad too and I stormed out of the house yelling some things and slammed the door." She said with a tear rolling down her cheek. 

"And then he punched the window?" I asked shaking my head.

"Yes." She said letting a couple more tears fall.

"Hey hey hey." I said pulling her into a hug. 

"It's still not your fault. Couples fight all the time, and this fight just turned out bad. Grayson loves you a lot and he could never be mad at you for longer than two seconds. Trust me, he feels terrible. He was crying on the way over here all because of you. He thinks you wont ever talk to him again-" Then I was cut off by Grayson walking out of two large doors.

His eyes widened when he saw Chloe. 

"baby." She said running up to him hugging him tight. 

He wrapped his good arm around her being careful with the other.

"I love you so much, I don't mean a single thing I said." Chloe said with tears. 

"I love you too baby. I regret everything that happened." He said with a light chuckle. 

"This isn't funny, I thought your arm was gonna get cut off." Chloe said with a frown.

"You're adorable." He said kissing her.

I felt happy that they made up and were happy with each other now, but I knew I was going home to be home alone until my mom came back.

"Are you going to Chloes?" I asked walking to my car.

Chloe nodded as Grayson got in the passenger seat.

"Alright, Drive safe!" I yelled before getting in my car and driving home.
