I look down at my feet as I walk down the grocery aisle, trying not to trip over my untied shoe. I'm far too lazy to lean down to tie it.
"Shit" Lucian speaks suddenly. I snap my head to look up at him. He's not looking at me, so I follow his line of vision. My heart drops when I see what he's looking at.
"Fuck," I mutter. As if he can feel our gaze, Grayson's head turns to look at us. His eyes widen when he makes eye contact with me, then Lucian.
"We can leave," Luc tells me, putting his hand on my lower back. I wince when Grayson starts towards us.
"Too late" I sigh.
"Hey," Grayson says quietly. He glares at Luc and I try to take a step toward Lucian without them seeing.
"You're back with him?" Grayson continues, looking down at me.
"Are you back with her?" I retaliate, pointing to Daisy. She looks clueless.
"Course not. Just needed her help with something" He tells me.
"Cool," I replied blandly. He frowns, glancing at Lucian.
"Can I talk to you?" he asks me hopefully. I roll my eyes. Now he wants to talk?
"Yeah, fine, whatever" I mutter. He takes my hand and pulls me a solid few meters down the aisle.
"Did you forgive him? Are you back with him?" he interrogates. I furrow my eyebrows.
"No" I answer vaguely.
"Then why are you with him?" he continues. I shrug.
"Don't have anyone else" I shrug. His face drops.
"What? You have the entire group. And you have me"
"Do I?" I retaliate, referring to him.
"Of course you do, what does that mean?" he says sadly. I shrug.
"Do you not remember anything that happened between us? I haven't even heard from you in two weeks" I question. His eyebrows stay furrowed.
"I've been busy, and I thought-"
"That because I fell apart in front of you we're fine? I was vulnerable, Grayson, that doesn't mean shit" I tell him bluntly. He continues to frown as he stares at me.
"Come with me," he tells me. He doesn't give me a choice, grabbing my hand and pulling me away.
"What? No, I can't leave Luc with her-"
"Oh, don't worry, he knows her real well" He scoffs. I snap my hand out of his grip, making both of us halt in our tracks.
