Love Drunk (Completed)

Chapter 52

L.A. 7 a.m.
Grayson POV -

I knock over a bottle of Jack Daniels as I'm reaching for my phone. "Fuck!" I yell. My head hurts so bad. I grab my phone and see y/n is face timing me. Butterflies fill my stomach and I answer her call. Her glowing face and bright smile fills my screen. She is wearing my hoodie and it makes me feel complete again.

"Goodmorning baby! I'm so sorry to wake you up this early." She says. I smile at her beautiful face. "You never have to apologize for waking me up." I answer. "How are you doing, baby?" I ask her. Her smile gets even bigger. "Good! Now I see you!" She beams. "And because I quit my job and put the house up for sale!". How is she so strong, I wonder. I'm here, stinking in my bed, my heart is ripped to pieces, while she is working so hard to get everything ready for her move. I'm in awe of her strength and I admire her even more. It make me realise that I need this strong woman by my side.

I go lay on my side and prop my phone up on my pillow. Y/n frowns. "Why do you have bottles of liquor on your bedside table?" She asks. "I-.." I have no idea what to tell her. "How did you even get liquor?" She continues. "Grayson, please tell me you don't drink. Especially now you're on painkillers for your broken hand." She adds. I press my good hand against my face and rub my forehead to ease the headache.

"Baby.. please talk to me." She begs. I go sit up and grab the phone. "I'm so sorry.." I tell her. "It's just so hard without you." I say while trying to blink so much that tears don't have a chance. My heart hurts. I can tell I broke her heart and I'm trying to swallow the lump in my throat. "I'm going crazy without you, the thought of Mike being so close to you.. it drives me insane." I say and I feel the fury growing again in my chest. "Even the thought of Ethan being in love with you.. AAARGGHHH!!" I yell out.

I see her eyes getting watery. A tear streams down her face. "I need you, Grayson!" She quietly says. "I can't live without you! You can't ruin yourself.. because we need each other!" She cries. "Mike and Ethan, they will never have my heart!" She adds. I rub my hand against my head again. "I'm so sorry.." I breathe. Why am I doing this to her?

L.A. 7.30 a.m.
Ethan POV -

My phone buzzes. I roll over to my other side and pull the duvet over my head, trying to ignore the call. Not even a minute later my phone rings again. I sigh, grab my phone and see an incoming facetime call from y/n. My hearts skips a beat. I answer the call and see her beautiful face. Her eyes are filled with tears.

"OMG, what's wrong?" I ask her with my raspy voice. "Your brother.." she quietly says. I'm completely awake and sit up. "You promised me you'd take care of him.." she says. "What the fuck has he done now?" I say as I get out of bed.

Y/n gasps. "Ethan.." she says stunned. "I guess you're sleeping naked?!" She asks. "Shit!" I yell as I cover myself quickly and direct the phone to my face again instead of at my balls. My face turns red. "He's taking painkillers for his hand and he is drinking! Is he trying to kill himself?" She continues with a straight face as if she just didn't see my private parts. "I don't know.." I sigh. "He's having a really hard time being away from you" I add as I put on sweatpants. "What can we do to keep him busy for 8 more days?" Y/n asks. "I will try to figure something out, okay?" I assure her. "Okay.. thanks Ethan." She says.

After the phone call I throw my phone on my bed and barge over to Grayson's room. "How the fuck is he fucking this up? He has the fucking girl of everyone's fucking dreams!" I say to myself. Grayson is not in his room. I collect all the bottles of Jack and put them on the kitchen counter. I make my way to Grayson's bathroom and see him on his knees in front of the toilet. It rieks of throw up and I hear him crying. "Oh shit.." I whisper. I pat him on the back. "You really need to stop this bullshit, Gray!" I tell him. "If you don't want to lose her, you need to get your shit together!"
