grayson and i haven't been on the best terms lately. he's been so distant & stressed about something. i don't know why or what is bothering him. grayson took his car into the shop this morning and i was suppose to go pick it up but they called and said not for another 2 hours.
i was on the couch, laying down watching tv. i heard the front door open and shut harshly.
"hi babe." i said still focused on the screen in front of me. i got no response.
"babe?" i said once again.
"not now." grayson said. i sat up from my current position, walking over to him with his head in his hands.
"what's wron-?"
"y/n , leave me the fuck alone, jesus christ. i cannot get one minute alone without you bothering me. & where is my car, y/n? you were supposed to pick it up, did you forget about that?" he said frustrated. i started to tear up.
"i-i'm sorry.. i-" i started stuttering, not being able to finish my sentence.
"& please don't give me that 'mental health day' bullshit. you use it every time to get out of something." that hurt more coming from him. he knows my past & knows i have mental struggles due to what has happened to me. so i can't do a lot of things anymore.
"wow.. grayson. you sound exactly like my family. thought you were different. your car isn't outside because they called and said they weren't finished for another 2 hours.. it would be nice if u would just appreciate me for one day." i turned around and went upstairs , trying to avoid his negative energy. i laid in the bed on my side, crying myself to sleep.
grays pov.
god i'm such an ass. she deserves so much better. i've been so stressed with work. i didn't know what to do now so i called ethan.
"hello?" ethan said
"i pissed off y/n, more like made her really upset. i don't know what to do anymore." i said disappointed in myself. i continue to tell him what happened.
"grayson, i told you about this. your work and your relationship are two different things. don't bring that negative shit home. especially to her. you need to go make things right. she called me crying not too long ago because she felt like she couldn't come and talk to you." ethan said in a low tone.
"okay. talk to you later , bro." i said hanging up. i sighed and ran my fingers through my hair in frustration. i got up , walking up the stairs to our shared bedroom. i open the door to see y/n peacefully sleeping.
i sat beside her , softly not wanting to wake her up.
"y/n, baby. i'm so sorry for everything. i didn't mean what i said to you down there. i've been so stressed with work and i realize that i'm taking it out on you and i don't mean to. i know i fucked up but i really do love you. i want to make you my wife one day, have a family. i don't want to lose you over something incredibly stupid. i know you're asleep and you won't hear this but i truly do love you, & your flaws. i never meant to bring up your mental health, i know you try your hardest everyday. i'm so proud of you for coming this far, getting up out of bed , everything. i love you and i never want you to feel like i don't because i fucking do." i said kissing her temple.
y/n's pov.
i started tearing up again. he's so sweet. i missed this side of him. i turned around and hugged him. he hugged me right back, laying down. we cuddled in silence for a while.
"it's okay. i know you didn't mean it. it just hurt a lot coming from you. just don't do it again." i muffled into his neck.
"i know baby. i'm sorry. i'll be more careful." he said sniffing.
"don't cry, bug. we can just move past this, okay? it's over with now. we are going to go to sleep now , okay? we will go pick up your car when they call back." i said wiping away his tears.
"i love you." he said as i laid my head back in his neck.
"i love you." i said right after him.
i've missed this.
