4 Friends // Ethan and Grayson Dolan

"We Can Only Ever Be Friends"

Sadie's POV
"Grayson stopppppp" I moaned
"What am I doing Sade?" he asks back knowingly
"You know what your doing" I whine back
"No I don't" he says, innocently
"You keep tickling me while I'm trying to nap"
"I'm not tired enough to nap Sadie" he whines back
"You're a teenage boy. You love napping. Stop being an asshole." I say grumpily
"Whatever."
"Grayson, please. I'll pay for your dinner later if you go to sleep happily. You know I won't be able to sleep if you're upset" I say half asleep
"Okay fine but only for a little." He says cuddling me into his chest.
"Thanks Gray, love you." I say kissing his cheek before we both end up dozing off.
I open my eyes slowly, and stretch my arms out only to see Grayson still sound asleep with his bare chest against my cheek and arms around my waist. I try wiggling out of his arms as the urge to pee myself gets stronger and stronger.
"Grayyyyy" I elongate his name
"Mm" he replies
"Let go." I say
"Why?" He breaths out
"I'm gonna pee myself. And I can't get out." I say bouncing my leg up and down, as he lets go laughing. I run into the bathroom and do my business before Gray unexpectedly barges in.
"Jesus Grayson! What are you doing?" I yell
"We have to go. Our families are waiting at the country club." He rushes
"What the hell time is it?" I ask him
"4:15" he replies brushing his teeth quickly
"Oh shit." I hurry beginning to brush my already straight hair and pulling it into a messy ponytail.
"Yeah oh shit is right." He gives attitude
"Shut up it's not my fault we overslept."
"Oh really miss "Graysonnnnn stop I wanna sleep" "Grayson leave me alone" "Grayson your such an asshole"" he mocks
"Wow you really are an asshole." I snap back walking out of the bathroom getting changed into my navy romper. I go to my bedroom door to sit in front of the mirror. I applied my makeup lightly, and sprayed myself with some perfume before grabbing my purse and shoes and running to the car where Grayson had been sitting for ten minutes after our argument.
"Wow could you have taken any longer?" He asks smirking
"Whatever Gray just drive." I reply looking out the window
"Wow, are you really mad at me?" He asks
"Yes, you've been so rude to everyone lately. Now wonder I'm the only one that is willing to hang out with you? Maybe if you didn't have a bitch for a girlfriend you'd be nice, and funny again" I huff
"What are you trying to say?"
"I'm trying to say that ever since you started dating Amber you've been a dick." I reply
"Oh yeah sure. You guys just don't like her." He sighs
"It's not just us." I say shortly
"What are you talking about? Plenty of people like Amber. How couldn't you like her?" He raises his voice.
"First of all don't raise your voice at me. Second practically no one likes her. And did you ever think it's because she's a bitch?" I yell at him
"Jesus Sadie you're not my mom! God! For once just stop being a bitch." He yells back
"Well sorry that I'm someone that actually cares about you Gray. Oh and thanks for letting me know what you actually think of me. Love you too" I say beginning to cry
"No please don't cry Sadie. I'm sorry I didn't mean any of it I just got angry. I'm sorry Sade." He says putting his hand on my leg
"Don't waste your breath. Just keep driving." I say moving his hand away from me as he sighs and continues driving.
We no later arrive at the club and are met by our families, Grayson's parents, sister, and Ethan, and of course my mom, dad, and brother Jordan, and the one person my family never travels without Brooklyn.
"Hey babe"  Brooke greets me before realizing something was wrong as I pull her to the bathroom and resume crying
"What's wrong girly?" She asks rubbing my back
"Grayson said some really rude things to me in the car." I said calming down
"What did he say?" She asks
"He was like "Jesus Sadie you're not my mom! God you're such a bitch!" And then was like "are you really mad at me?" And acted like he did nothing wrong." I explain wiping the mascara from under my eye.
We talked a little longer before going to sit at our table. We all ordered our food and sat awkwardly quiet as the adults talked and waited. The waiter brought out our food and we began eating but about half way through guess who decided to show up. Amber.
"Hey baby" she screeched
"Hey Ambs" Grayson's low voice spoke awkwardly looking around his eye catching mine.
"I didn't know you were coming here tonight. What did you do today you weren't answering my calls."
"Oh me and Sadie were hanging out and fell asleep you know." He tells her
"Oh" she rolls her eyes
"What's wrong with that?" He asks
"Oh well you know." She explains rudely
"No I don't" he says furrowing his eyebrows
"Well I thought I told you to stop hanging out with her." She says as if I'm not right here
"Why would I do that? She's my best friend." He says looking right at me
"Yeah well she's super annoying and there's a rumor going around that you two slept together." She says looking at me as I stand up and speed walk away with Grayson trailing close behind me as I walk out the back door and lean up against the brick wall, sliding down slowly with tears pouring out of my eyes.
"I'm so sorry Sade. I didn't even know she was gonna be here." He says holding me to his chest tightly
" You know maybe she's right Gray." I say pulling away from him "maybe you should stop hanging out with me. Better now then have me waiting for you to just stop showing up anymore." I say crying harder
"I love you Sade and that girl in there is not gonna make me stop being your best friend."
He says looking me in the eye
"That's the thing Gray! "Best friend" that's all we will ever be! And it sucks." I sob
"What do you mean? What else would we be?" He asks confused.
"Jesus Grayson don't tell me you've never realized that I've been in love with you since the fucking first grade!" I hiccup
"But why didn't you ever tell me?" He asks
"What the hell was I supposed to say? "Oh hey Gray I love you, like I really love you." No" I say
"But we-" he begins, before I finish for him.
