GRAYSONS POV WOAHHH

i walk up the stairs and and knock on ethans door. he slowly opens it and the second he does how can tell how truly upset he is.

"hey bro i'm so sorry." i hug him and let go.

"it's okay, we weren't meant for eachother." he says.

"what happened?" i ask.

"she broke up with me. she was feeling things that i wasn't. i liked her, but i didn't love her." he explained.

"your taking it hard for someone who didn't love her." i said worried.

"yeah it's just she figured out before even i did that i had feelings for s- uh someone else." he said.

"damn bro. that sucks. maybe you'll get a chance with that someone else." i says hopeful.

"uh yeah i wouldn't count on that." he says.

"what? why not?" i ask.

"she uh, she likes someone else. i'll get over someday." he says sounding defeated.

it couldn't be-

no he doesn't-

does he like sophia? no- well?

"well uh i'll leave you be. let me know if you need anything." i smile at him and flashes a weak smile back.

i feel really bad for him.

BACK TO SOPHIAS POV

grayson comes back down the stairs, and sits on the couch silently. that's weird.

"gray are you okay? what happened with ethan?" i asked worried.

"oh um" he struggled finding words to say before just brushing it off. "he didn't tell me much either." i just nod.

i have a feeling ethan told grayson more because duh their brothers, and he probably is keeping it between them which i respect.

"i think i'm gonna go home, i have some homework to catch up on and i'm tired." i say. grayson just nods and gives me a kiss on the cheek. he's really off right now.

i exit their house and go to my car. i drive home just in my thoughts.

-

the next day i decide to take the day to myself. i need some alone time to think.

buuuuut that plan is quickly interrupted when i open my phone.

5 text messages from gray
2 text messages from eth

gray- hey
gray- can we maybe talk?
gray- okay wow i didn't say goodmorning

gray- sounds good.

eth- MORNING SOPH☺️
eth- have a good day

me- MORNING ETHAN🥺 you too

(A/N: what i would GIVE to have that^)

i get dressed and go downstairs to wait for grayson to get here. i have a feeling i already know what he's gonna want to talk about.

i hear a couple slight knocks placed on the door and i open it.

"hey gray" i said hugging him. he holds on for longer and then releases. he looks down at me and we both meet halfway to kiss.

nothing. no sparks. nothing. where did that GO?

"hey soph, so um. remember when you said that if we were meant to be together we would know?" he starts. okay i know exactly where this is going.

"yeah, and honestly i feel like we don't match in that way. i feel like maybe we should just stick to be best friends." i say. he lets out a breath he was holding and relaxes a bit.

"oh thank god i thought you wouldn't understand." he said.

"no it's okay gray. i'm really sorry things didn't work out between us though. you're an amazing guy." i said. he smiles and me i smile back. we both lean in one more time.

"one last kiss?" grayson mumbles and i nod my head before pushing my lips on his. no sparks but it was sweet.

"did u feel anything?" grayson asks.

"nope." i simply say.

"me either. we'll see ya at school tomorrow bestie." he says before walking back out. i smile and wave.

wow that worked out so well and i already feel so much better. i'm super glad we didn't have sex though. i might've actually gotten attached if we did.

my feet guide me back up to my room and i plop down on my bed. i decide to watch some jenna marbles videos on youtube since i wanted to spend the day by myself.

a bout an hour in, i feel my phone buzz. i paused the video i was watching and look at the notification.

eth- hey are you okay?
eth- grayson came home and said that you guys broke up?

me- we'll we were really ever 'dating' but yes you can call it a break up.
me- i'm fine we weren't right for eachother and i don't think we both really ever truly felt something.

eth- oh. so you're not upset?

me- nope i think grayson and i are both relieved.

eth- oh okay.

me- how are you holding up?

eth- i'm pretty good honestly. a lot better today.

me- that's great! i'm really glad e.

eth- me too :)
eth- listen uh do you maybe wanna go outfit shopping for the tame concert soon?

me- sure! don't you need an outfit for cudi first though? it's next month?

eth- yes that too

me- okay bet we can go this weekend?

eth- i'm down

i smile and unpause the video.

"what's meant to happen will happen." i mutter you myself.
