( EDITED )

( SENSITIVE TOPIC: CANCER )

" are you upset or jealous of... " Grayson starts

" of what? " I say sitting up with a confused look

" I mean I saw the way you were looking at her, and I can tell you have a problem with her but... " He begins again cutting himself off

I already knew who he was talking about. Harper. ( if you forgot who she is look back at chap 18 and 19 )

" Grayson? who? " I say with a harsh tone.

" Harper," He says shyly

" you always look at her funny and I don't want any tension between you guys. especially if we become, you know... " Grayson says

" A thing? " I say slowly lowering my head to look at my fidgeting hands in my lap.

was this his way of telling me there together?

" well yeah. If  " he says making the word if stand out.

" look Grayson, if you guys end up together then great. I'm happy for you guys. Harper is amazing. She's pretty, skinny, perfect completion, pretty hair. She's everything Grayson. And if you like her then go for it. Shoot your shot. " I say raising my head and making eye contact with him.

" Yeah, your right. Maybe I should. " He says with a small smile on his face.

Wait. did he just admit feelings for her? I mean I'm happy for him but... They have only known each other for like... a few weeks. 

My small smile faded and I turned my head down again. I wonder if Grayson ever got a hint I liked him. Was he doing it on purpose? To make me jealous? but why. Does he like me? No no he doesn't like me. Why would he want to make me jealous? That's not like Grayson. 

" you ok? " He says

I just realized I was daydreaming and didn't realize I was until I snapped out of it.

" Oh uh yeah I'm good. Hey can you do me a huge favor? " I ask standing up trying to change the awkward subject.

" I guess? What is it? " He asks confused while standing up with me.

" Uhm can you drive me to the hospital? Not for me...just so that I can see what's wrong with my dad? I haven't received any texts or calls from anyone and my stepmom hasn't come home, and my mom hasn't even asked me to come to her place nor texted me after he went "missing" and I just want to know where he is at. " I say out of breath after all I've said.

" uh yeah sure " He says with a shrug opening my bedroom door to go down the stairs.

We get into the car and I plug my phone into the aux

" Paisley there's absolutely no way you're playing your lame music in my car. " Grayson says glancing over to me while pulling out of my long driveway

" uhm yes way. " I say putting on my Spotify playlist.

" mmm I don't think so. " Grayson says while unplugging my phone and putting it into his sweatshirt pocket with one hand.

" Grayson! Give me my phone back. " I say trying to get it from his pocket.

" What's the password? " He asks eyes still on the road.

" Ugh, Grayson I'm not in the mood, give it back!  " I say reaching over the console to try and reach his sweatshirt pocket.

my eyes widen in shock to feel a hand being placed on my left thigh. My breath hitches knowing it's Grayson's hand.

"You're not getting your phone back," He says glancing over to look at me
