ethan's pov

"yeah just a second let me get him." i told james, leaving him in our living room to go wake grayson up, i wonder why he wasn't already up though, he always gets up early.

i try to open his door but it was locked, that's weird. he never locks his door.

"gray!" i bang on his door, getting annoyed.

soon after he opens it, his eyes were bright red, his under eyes puffed. was he crying?

"dude what's wrong?"

"nothing." he replied, it was obvious he wasn't up early today, his raspy morning voice was there.

"james is here, get out there so he doesn't have to flirt with me."

he laughed, nodding, "yeah just let me change."

james' pov

"grayson!" i smiled, hard enough that i knew my makeup was going to crease. i just couldn't help myself! i know he's mad at me for the whole emma situation but at the end of the day he is still very much one of my bestfriends. and i am one of his, we'll get through this misunderstanding. i know it!

"hey james." he seemed like he wasn't as excited to see me as i was to see him, i guess he still isn't over himself.

"when's emma getting here?" ethan rolling his eyes, awe did they break up? well honestly... i am not that sister surprised! but were they even dating? i wouldn't even know, im kind of out of the loop. ever since emma has came into our little friend group, i've been drifting away from ethan and grayson.

"she's back at her apartment with her friend, hannah." grayson answered.

i've seen this hannah girl on emma's instagram before, she's pretty!

"okay well when is she getting here?"

"we have to go pick her up." grayson filled me in while ethan started walking away and into his guest room, or should i say nolan's room?

dude you have a guest! don't be fucking rude.

hannah's pov

i got awoken from my sleep when there was at least ten knocks on emma's door, and she certainly wasn't in the mood to go get up and answer it so i guess i had to.

i looked through the window before opening it, incase there was like a stalker or some crazy shit..

it was grayson! where's ethan?

as i opened the door i smiled at grayson, "hey!"

"sup?" he said, basically making me move so he could step foot in the house.

"so you know how you said we were going somewhere?" i asked, remembering that day and the butterflies he gave me, even though he told me he didn't see me like that..

"yeah, but we all kinda just crashed that night, sorry."

"it's okay."

"plus we had the whole talk, maybe we should just stay away from each other for awhile."

"and why is that?"

i felt kind of offended, i wanted to be around him, like all the time. i guess he just doesn't feel the same way towards me.

"hannah, i don't wanna be that guy but, i'm eighteen, i have hormones, we can't be alone like this, i don't know if i could control myself."

i felt a blush creep upon my cheeks, i tried to hide it by pulling my shirt up, but grayson pulled it off my chin.

well now it's just fucking awkward isn't it?

emma's pov

while hannah and grayson were talking about god knows what, i got nonstop phone calls from my ex, adam. i know remember all the fucked up shit that he had done to me in the past, i can't believe i was that naive.

that..... stupid.

i got up from my bed and walked into my closet so they couldn't hear me while talking to him, answering the phone as soon as i closed the door.

"hello?"

"emma, emma finally you answered, um i was just worried.."

"adam piss off! lose my number."

"emma just hear me out okay-"

"no, you hear me out, okay? stop calling me, stop trying to make me pity you in some type of way again and just leave me alone. if you were truly sorry, you wouldn't be doing this, you'd just let me be happy."

he sighed into the phone, "you're right."

"goodbye adam."

"goodbye emma."

i hung up the phone and opened the closet door, only to see that grayson was standing in front of it, probably listening to the phone call i just had. um well isn't that some type of invasion of privacy?????

"grayson literally fuck you."

"i mean hannah's downstairs but-"

i punch his arm, not trying to hurt him but in a playful way, i liked that we could joke like this with each other.

i was trying my best not to smile, because that would mean defeat, and i don't know what the battle was.

"sooo, you ready to go? james is already back at our place with ethan."

"oh yeah, hannah's coming too right?"

"well i guess, why not?"

he started to walk away from me and headed towards the stairs at the other side of my bedroom, turning around when i said his name.

"grayson?"

"yeaaaaaaaa?"

"thank you."

he nodded, and turned his head back around, walking down the stairs.

i changed into a champion blue hoodie and leggings, paired with white nike sneakers, the ones that look like grandma shoes, but it's okay cause it's fashion!

grayson helped me up into his tall car, i guess now it's time to put on a fake smile for the cameras.

hannah was the first one to come through my door, james getting up from my couch that he was probably facetuning something, about to see emma for the first time since her accident.

"oh hannah! hey sister!" james smiled as wide as he could, looking like a whole ass clown.

he pulled her in for a hug, hannah smiling politely, "hi!"

emma walked in after grayson, "hi emma!" emma smiled, not saying hi back.

the smile looked extremely forced.

"well let's get to filming, shall we?"
