Grayson walked in as Emma and Ethan froze on the couch. They looked at one another. Grayson ruined the moment.
"What do you want?" Ethan said sternly and stood.
"What are you doing?" Grayson looked furious.
"Sitting with Emma, that an issue?" Ethan crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows. They stood inches away from eachother.
"Yeah it is." Grayson got in Ethan's face. Ethan shoves Grayson which caused Grayson to fall back a little bit.
"Guys stop." Emma says, standing up and walking over to the mess that was unfolding before her.
"Why is it an issue? Huh? I'm tryna fix what you fucked up!" Ethan began to shout. "Where's the tramp anyway?"
Grayson got back in Ethan's face. "Stop fucking making out she's a slut Ethan. She's not."
"She sure sounds like one." Ethan whispered.
Grayson went to hit Ethan but Emma got in the way. "Stop Gray."
He did. He listened. He cared for her and when Emma wanted something she could have it all. He looked at her and he saw something he broke.
Ethan watched as Grayson's eyes went red to soft. It saddened Ethan, to watch the girl he loves to be able to do that another person. Have weaknesses over someone other than him.
"Let's go outside and talk." She took Graysons hand in hers but turned her head to Ethan. "It's okay. Trust me. I'm okay." She smiled lightly which Ethan just nodded at.
Grayson
Emma took me outside which was good because I could cool off. We sat on this bench further down the yard and looking at her pained me because last time we sat on this bench, we made out for what seems- hours.
She looked so good under the moonlight. She's in Ethan's jumper. She looked so small. Her cheeks were red and her hair in a messy bun as always. She looked like my Emma yet I could see so much of Ethan in her.
It was scary. She seemed like younger her.
"Let's just brush this under the carpet, I'm happy for you Grayson. I really am." Her grin appeared.
"But what I did wasn't like me at all. You know that Emma. It's annoying because I can't turn back time and show you how vulnerable I was and how much the drugs messed me up."
"You can't just blame it on the drugs Grayson."
"I know and I'm not but you have to understand that I've never done them and then in that one night I did a lot by mistake. It was hard to even think straight." She nodded.
"So what happened?"
I swallowed hard. "I went to the party and Ethan took my phone- he wanted me to have a good time. I drank loads of this random drink that I saw and it was drugged but obviously at the time I didn't know that." She nodded again so I continued.
"Slowly I became so zoned out and unaware of what was happening around me. I had these girls around me and-" I paused. I don't want to hear this.
"Grayson, it's okay. I promise. I need to know."
"I had these girls around me whispering shit in my ears and touching me. I was confused. I didn't want any of it. The night continued and I drank more then next thing I know I'm upstairs and it happened."
"What happened Gray?" She moved closer.
"I can't Emma." I stood up being unable to breath. This was a lot for me let alone her.
"Please. I deserve to know. I want to know." I paused comprehending everything as she looked at me. I was lost in her eyes.
"I felt her on top of me and I didn't know who it was. Sh-" I paused again but Emma nodded telling me to continue. "She undid my pants and.."
"Grays-"
"No Emma. I can't say it. We had sex and I regretted immediately after. There." I sat down again and grabbed her face softly. "I'm sorry Emma, from the bottom of my shitty heart. I'm sorry I was never good to you. I'm sorry I was never Ethan."
Emma eyes popped out. She looked down to think to herself. She probably thought I was right. I was.
"It's okay. Thanks for telling me." She smiled. This time her smile was soft. Almost like she realised something.
We went back inside and it felt nice to be in the warm again. Ethan came in as he must of heard the door. "Guys I'm gonna get going because I'm staying at Romans but E I'm sorry and that shouldn't of all happened." Ethan nodded and I left. But before I did I looked at Emma. She was staring at Ethan.
Like he owned her heart.

When Grayson left, the door closing reminded them both where they left off. Emma was reminded of all the things Grayson said. The hurt she felt as she spoke but the joy of closure.
Which she needed for this moment.
They began to walk to eachother but Ethan spoke. "I hope everything he said was-"
But he was cut off by a kiss for someone who he has wanted to kiss since he laid his eyes on her.
She grabbed his face and let her lips do the rest of the speaking for her.
'I'm yours' they said.
And his said 'Finally.'
