Ethan and I walked down the stairs together and met grayson in the living room.

"Ready?" I asked Grayson, causing him to shut his phone off and nod

He looked up at me and saw the sudden outfit change but didn't say anything, just kind of smiled.

We all walked to the front door but not before me screaming, "I CALL SHOTGUN"

Grayson groaned as Ethan smiled lightly.

As we walked out the front door, i was immediately hit with cold air making me regret not putting on pants, but thankful for the hoodie.
I pulled my hood up and made sweater paws, walking to the passenger side of the white jeep.

We all got in and Ethan began driving.

The ride was silent, other than some music playing in the background. It was a nice silence though, comforting. I felt safe. Content.

Soon we pulled into the ice cream place and we all stepped out.

"Gosh why'd i think ice cream would be a good idea? It's fucking freezing" i shivered.

Almost in sync, both Ethan and Grayson wrapped their arms around my shoulders as we continued to walk to the door

I smiled and wrapped my arms around their waists.

As soon as we walked inside, Ethan brought his arm back and stepped away a little.

I looked at him concerned, a guilty look on his face as he stared at something. Soon, i heard it. Camerons voice.

"Aww getting ice cream with your wittle bruver and his girl?" he said in a baby voice, directing it towards Ethan.

Ethan rolled his eyes, as did i.

"nah man, i saw your post on snapchat, knew you were here", he laughed

Cameron broke out into a smile and wrapped his arm around Ethan, "ahh there's the E i know."

Ethan turned his head around and mouthed a quick, "im so sorry", i shook my head, disappointed, and brought Gray over to the line.

"im sorry Gray, it's going to take time for him to change his act" i said before ordering

"It's all good, this is improvement, honestly. Normally he would never leave the house with me, let alone go somewhere with me." Gray smiled

My heart broke a little for him as he said that. He deserves so much better.

We finished ordering and waited for our ice cream, which was given to us really quick.

We grabbed our cones and walked outside to find a place to sit, choosing a nice bench by the pier.

Soon i see Ethan and Cameron walk out of the ice cream shop and they seemed to be arguing about something.

"Dude fuck you, you'd really rather hang out with little Dolan and Chamberlain than me?" Cameron said rather loudly

"yeah actually. I enjoy their company. They dont force me to do things i'd rather not do" Ethan said calmly

Cameron shook his head and laughed, walking away, "you'll regret that dolan."

Ethan rolled his eyes and walked over to us, sitting next to me.

"Welcome back Grant" I smiled

He smiled lightly, "im tired"

"me too, honestly" i responded, leaning my head on Grayson's shoulder, "we could head back after we finish our ice cream and watch some movies" i requested

"good idea" Grayson spoke up, taking a lick of my ice cream

I stared at him before swiftly taking a lick of his ice cream so that we're even.

Ethan shook his head and laughed, "let's go lovebirds, finish the ice cream in the car, it's cold."

"no it's not" i whined

"Em.. you're shaking," Ethan said, he placed his hand on mine, "your hands are freezing, let's go"

I dont know what it is, but something about him calling me that, and him placing his hand on mine, just really made me feel something.

I
