"That's all I could ever ask from you" Grayson smiles before I lean in and kiss him softly. "So am I allowed to ask you to be my girlfriend now?"
                          
"Yes" I beam.
                          
"Tara cutiepants King will you be my girlfriend?" He laughs.
                          
"Of course I will dork" I laugh too, kissing him yet again.
                          
"We should tell Ethan" He says suddenly stopping laughing.
                          
"Yeah, that would be the best thing to do" I agree.
                          
"He's going to be really annoyed at you" Grayson warns me "He likes you and you picked his brother instead"
                          
"He doesn't like me" I laugh. "He just likes the thought of being with me"
                          
"How can you tell the difference?" 
                          
"It's a girl thing" I wink. "Let's go" I say taking his hand and pulling him out of the room.
                          
It doesn't take long too find Ethan because he's stood right in front of us as soon as we leave the room, arms folded in disappointment.
                          
"Anything you want to tell me?" He asks, looking expectant of the two of us. I look to Grayson. He gives me puppy dog eyes begging for me to explain.
                          
"Grayson asked me to be his girlfriend" I tell him.
                          
"He WHAT?" Ethan shouts, looking at his brother. 
                          
"Ethan relax." Gray says wide eyed.
                          
"How long have you two been screwing around behind my back?"
                          
"We haven't been 'screwing around'" I tell him.
                          
"For once in your life stop lying to me" 
                          
"Dude. We haven't done anything like that." Grayson comes to my aid.
                          
"I gave you one rule and you broke it" Ethan yells. "Why else would I warn every guy off of her for the last few years?"
                          
"Wait, you what?" I interject. What did he just say? "Is that why I've never had a date to any dances in my life and was always stuck going with you?"
                          
"You had a great time with me"
                          
"Not now I've found out you won't let me have a life. So its fine for you to have girls drooling all over you yet when I genuinely like a guy you can't stand it?"
                          
"It wasn't like that" He tries.
                          
"No, that's exactly what it's like. You know, I thought the world of you and now you literally mean nothing to me." I say storming off.
                          
Oh crap. Please tell me that I didn't say that. I just used Grayson's words. I just hurt my best friend in the entire world. And for what? Some boy that just started taking a liking to me. It's Ethan and Grayson Dolan. Grayson and Ethan. How could I choose between the two boys that I love? Grayson is the bad boy, the attractive, secretly nerdy one. Ethan is the popular, ladies man one. They both mean so much to me.
                          
"T, slow down!" I hear behind me. I spin to see Cailin running behind me. I stop in my tracks and burst into tears. "Do you want to go home?"
                          
"No, you stay. My house isn't too far from here and its barely even dark out." I tell her.
                          
"Bullcrap, it's pitch black out here." She says looking up at the darkness.
                          
"I'll be fine."
                          
"Don't go anywhere, I'll get Grayson." She says running back into the house as fast as she can on those heels. 
                          
With me being me, I don't listen to her. I take my heels off and start walking in the direction of my house. I don't get very far before I hear my name being called yet again. I don't stop; they'll have to catch up with me.
