Drowning

Chapter 38: Confusing

(Okay don't attack me, but I don't have a song to this chapter. You can listen to whichever song idc, but I want you to pay attention to Gray. Just do it. Nike. Okay bye)

Your POV
"You want me to what?" Ethan asked.

"You need to spend more time with your family. Especially your father, so I want you to stay with them for a while." You explained as you helped Grayson carry a few duffel bags to your car.

"Where's Grayson going?" Ethan asked again, pointing to the duffel bags in your hands.

"He's gonna stay in your room for a while. He, above all, needs a break." You said, setting the bags down in the backseat.

"So you're really gonna replace me with my own twin?" He scoffed.

"E, you know it's not like that. He's going through a lot right now, not that you aren't, but Grayson just needs some time and space to heal. Please?" You pleaded.

Ethan rolled his eyes and let out a deep sigh; causing him to slouch a bit in his stand.

"Fine." He huffed.

"Thank you." I said giving him a small side hug.

"Wait! No!" He shouted.

"W-What?" You stammered; obviously confused by his sudden refusal.

"Uh, shit...I have private things in my room. I-I don't want him to see them. O-Or you!" He quickly said.

"Seriously? Just let him. I'm sure he's not gonna go through your things." You shrugged.

"It's on my bed. There's no way he's gonna miss it. I know he'll read it." Ethan said nervously.

"Read? So it's a letter? Fine, I'll tell him to take the letter off your bed and not read it." You sighed.

"I know my own brother, y/n. He's gonna read it." He stated as if it were obvious.

"Well, where else is he gonna sleep? I'm not gonna let him crash on the couch." You asked.

"Maybe I should just go back with you guys." Ethan debated.

"No, I-I'll just figure it out." You sighed, shaking your head.

"You sure? He won't go in my room?" He asked.

"He won't. I promise." You groaned.

"Thank you. It means a lot." He sighed out of relief.

"You're dumb. And stubborn." You joked.

"Hey, actually I need to talk to you." Ethan said as Grayson walked up to you guys.

"We need to leave...now. My mom is trying to make me stay. She already knows we're out here and she'll follow us." Grayson warned you.

"Oh..yeah you guys need to leave." Ethan agreed with his brother.

"We'll talk another time." You said before stepping into your car.
