chapter thirty four

May

-Grayson pov-

I race through the hallways, weaving in and out of the excited students. Prom was tomorrow night. And I planned to go. If everything went to plan. And that's a big if.

But I had to find Mae first.

"Excuse me, thank you, excuse me!" I yelp, sidestepping a freshman.

I hear girls discussing their dresses and hair as I run by, turning the corner. Most of the guys are talking about what they are going to do with their girl after the dance.

The same thing I hope to do with my girl after the dance.

Finally I spot her dark brown hair in the crowd, a smile on her face as she talks to Sky, their arms linked as they walk to class.

"Anna!" I shout, waving my arms.

Her head lifts, confusion on her face. Her plump lips move to form my name just as fist collides with my face.

-Anna pov-

I scream as he goes down, Jacob instantly getting over him and continuing to punch. The hallway is silent for a quick second before a crowd forms around the two, clear sides starting to form as they clear on Jacob and Grayson.

Sky holds me back from going any closer, leaving me to peer over the head of my classmates. I feel tears start to roll down my cheeks as I realize that Grayson is still down, Jacob beating on his face.

Over the cheering of the crowd I can hear Jacob's voice yelling at Gray, calling him a snitch and telling him that "he'll regret what he did".

Suddenly a dark-haired figure races past Sky and I, lunging through the crowd and tackling Jacob off Grayson. The guy immediately starts punching Jacob, the crowd cheering.

Sky screams. "Ethan!" She loosens her grip and I pull away, pushing through the crowd. I elbow people out the way, getting to the center of the circle, groaning.

I kneel down, well aware of the many cameras now pointed at me. Ethan continues to beat Jacob a couple of feet away as I assess Gray, making sure nothing is broken.

His already swollen eyes peer up at me. "Anna..?" His teeth are bloody, probably from the blood running down from his nose.

I run my hand through his hair. "Shh, I'm here. It's okay." I grab his hand, squeezing lightly. "I'm here."

A loud authoritative voice yells and the crowd scatters as the teachers, along with Vice Principal Hanson come storming down the hallway. The males teachers pull Ethan off Jacob as the females come over to Grayson and I, one of them immediately calling 911 as they see his state.

Sky comes running over, tears also on her face as she watches her boyfriend be dragged away. Jacob also lays groaning on the floor, now in even a worse state than Grayson.

His nose looks broken.

Grayson lightly squeezes my hand, getting my attention. "Anna..."

"Yes?"

He smiles. "I think that means we can go to prom." He sleepily says, his lead lolling to the side as he passes out.

-Grayson pov-

"You have quite a serious concussion, Mr. Dolan. You may experience dizziness, fainting, and throwing up." The doctor calmly explains, his glasses resting on his head. "You were lucky though, the other young man that came in not only has a broken nose but also a broken cheek bone."

My eyes widen. Ethan fucked Jacob up.

My Mom thanks the doctor, asking him questions about what I can't and can do. My mind drifts off the Ethan, currently down at the police station with my Dad. And Anna, who was probably still at the school being questioned.

This was going to be a huge deal. I could see the headlines. "Two high school students hospitalized after a fight over prom."

At least I think that's why Jacob was mad. Actually, I know that's why he was mad.

Last night when I was on snapchat one of my memories popped up...a video of Jacob chugging a bottle of vodka.

I don't remember taking it, so I must have been drunk myself. But the school administration doesn't need to know that.

So early this morning I dragged myself to Hanson's office and showed him the video. The part where Jacob screamed "Imma chug this bottle of vodka!" really helped seal his own fate.

Karma's a bitch.

Hanson and I made a deal, I give him the video and he lets Anna and I go to prom.

So I airdropped him the video and went to class on cloud nine. Sadly, Anna and I didn't have any classes together today and it wasn't until Jacob was called out of the one class I had with him that I realized I needed to tell Anna what I told Hanson. Clearly, I didn't make it that far.

And now my face looks like ground-meat, Ethan's in jail for protecting me, and Jacob's...well Jacob got what he deserved.

I'm guessing he lost his soccer scholarship since he kept screaming that I ruined his life.

I mean he has a trust fund so I think he'll be okay.

Other than his face now being messed up.

I try to calm my mind as I start to get a headache again, my eyes feeling sleepy. The doctor notices my head drop.

"Oh, yes and you'll be extra sleepy, but let yourself rest, you'll need it to get better."

The last thing I remember is nodding my head as my mom grabs my hand.

-Anna pov-

I answered as many questions as I could but I still had no idea why Jacob so suddenly attacked Grayson.

Was he really that jealous?

Hanson pushed and pushed me until I started to cry.

Yes, I cried in the Vice Principals office.

I've peaked

He let my parents take me home, my father even came from work. They wouldn't let me visit Grayson since Jacob was also at the hospital and Gray's family was also going through a lot.

They didn't need an emotional Annalise running into the hospital room.

Supposedly Ethan was down at the station for "attacking a fellow student."

Bullshit.

Jacob attacked Grayson first.

Either way I was currently laying in my bed, an uneaten bowl of ice cream on my night stand as I stare at my phone.

Waiting for anything.

Sky was also questioned.

She was even more of a mess than me.

Suddenly my phone lights up, his name popping up.

I quickly answer. "Gray-."

"Concussion." He interrupts, sighing. "Wish I could come to you, but-."

I stand. "I'm on my way, you're home?"

"Yeah."

"I'll be there in 15."
