Love Drunk (Completed)

Chapter 60

L.A. 7 a.m
Ethan POV -

We pull up at the house. I drove home on auto pilot because I'm still shocked by Grayson's surprise proposal. We sat in the airport carpark and went through all the letters to make sure Grayson just asked y/n to marry him. I've tried really hard to put those letters in a different order.. but 'ARMY REM' or 'YEAR MRM' apparently dont mean anything.

Y/n cried for a good 20 minutes out of happiness and I held her tight in my arms for those 20 minutes. Not sure if it was out of happiness for them or because my world just fell apart. I'm genuinely happy for Gray and y/n. I don't think I've ever met two people who are so perfect for each other. Who are made for each other. They are like magnets and need each other to stay alive. I'm glad they found each other. But still.. my lil heart just shattered to pieces. Even though I would never date y/n. This makes everything so official and out of reach for me. The tiny opening in the doorway is now shut forever. I will be around the girl of my dreams forever. But she'll be with my twin brother. She will be loved by my twin brother and she will be committed to my twin brother.

I'm trying to keep it together, but on the inside I'm falling apart. I decide to text Emma when I get out of the car. <Wanna have sex later? X E> Is what I type before I hit send. I take y/n's suitcases out of the car and we decide to put them in my room until we have surprised Grayson. Oh yeah, we still got a video to film and a surprise to do? A surprise to give? I don't know..My head is not at all in the right headspace anymore. Y/n sits down on my bed and even though her eyes are watery, she has never been glowing like this. Her smile is big and hopeful and she keeps nervously tapping her feet.

"So I guess you're gonna say 'yes' to Grayson?" I ask quietly. Y/n looks me in the eyes. Her eyes are different shades of brown and they sparkle with kindness and mystery. It takes my breath away and I feel my cheeks turning red. "Yes" she whispers. "I love your brother more than I've ever loved anyone, ever!" She adds.

Why am I even asking these questions, I wonder. Why am I torturing myself? "Can I go wake Grayson up, now?" Y/n asks impatiently. "Yeah, ofcourse. Let's do it." I say as I swallow my loss. We walk up to Grayson's room and we hear him snoring from the hallway. Y/n turns around with her proposal letter in her hand and laughs. Hearing Gray snore kinda makes me laugh as well. Y/n tiptoes into Grayson's room and I follow her closely. The sun lights up the room and I forcefully bump into y/n's back when she all of a sudden stops halfway on her way to his bed.

I lean in to look at her face and see she's turning pale. What's wrong? She keeps staring at Grayson. I look up at Gray's bed and my jaw drops.

Gray is fast asleep on his back and snoring loudly. He's not wearing a shirt. Emma is curled up against his chest, also fast asleep. Also naked! I quickly scan the room and see their clothes everywhere. Empty condom wrappers are scattered around the floor.

"GRAYSON!!" I hear myself yell uncontrollably loud and aggressive. I don't think I've ever been so furious. Grayson and Emma wake up in shock and sit up in bed. Emma's neck and chest are bruised. I hear y/n gasp at the look of her boyfriend in bed with another girl. They lock eyes with us. I see pure horror in their eyes when they see y/n standing in front of them. "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?" I rage at them both as I ball my fists. My heart beats out of my chest and I'm ready to pull Grayson out of bed to beat the absolute shit out of him.

But as I make my way to Grayson, I see y/n shaking and I grab her by her shoulders immediately to support her. "Y/n I-.." Grayson says with remorse and pain in his voice. Tears stream down her face. Her knees give in and she collapses in my arms as the letter falls out of her hand on the floor. Grayson jumps out of bed and reaches out to help her. He's completely naked.

"Don't you dare get any closer!" I bark through my teeth towards Grayson. He stops in his tracks and watches me carry y/n out of his room. "Let's get out of here.." I whisper in y/n's ear as she puts her arms around my neck and cries on my chest. I put her in my car and open the gate. As we drive off I see Grayson in my rearview mirror, running out of the house with his hands in his hair.. holding the letter. He collapses on his knees and tears stream down his face.
