Song of the day: Crystalized - The xx


I feel shivers travel down my spine and I feel like I'm gonna pass out and fall on the ground. I'm staring, wide eyes, and the words can't escape my mouth. This day spent with Grayson and Ethan tempoparily made me forget about Riley, but now that he is standing right there, in MY house, makes me feel nauseous all over again. My head's spinning and I can barely stay stable on my feet wich I don't feel by the way.

''Good evening Kendall.'' He says slowly with this evil grin that makes me wanna throw up even more. Before I can even try to open my mouth, Gray looks back and fourth at Riley and I with a confused look glued to his perfect face.


''Wait... You guys know eachother?''

Riley takes is eyes off of me and looks at Grayson with a disgusting fake smile. ''Of course! Kenny is my girlfriend. We met back in Georgia and I wanted to, you know... Suprise her by coming here.''


No... This can't be happening right now. Why the fuck does my mouth stay shut. I want to scream and run away, but this time it's like my brain and the rest of my body are disconnected. The only thing I'm able to do at the moment is hold back my tears at the sight of Grayson's face and I don't think I'll be able to for a long time anymore. I can only imagine how he feels right now and it makes me wanna destroy the whole town. I can see that he is trying to hide his sadness behind his face but his glossy eyes betray him.

I take a deep breath.

''No... We're no longer together.'' I finally manage to speak, knowing I'm probably gonna have a bad time later. But you know what? I don't fucking care anymore. I've been hurt enough in the past and I am in no way gonna let this happen again. I bring my hand to Grayson's and he interwines his fingers with mine slowly. I squeeze his hand loving the effect it gives me and let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. I feel protected.

Riley actually smiles at what I said wich suprises me for some reasons. He steps out the house and walks pass me whispering ''We'll talk about it later babe. See you tomorrow at school.'' in my hear making me shiver. He winks at me before entering his car and driving off.


GRAYSON'S P.O.V.

I still don't really understand what's going on but I think those too have history together and it makes me feel sick knowing that I was talking to him yesterday and I didn't even know. I thought it was a nice guy at first, you know? He showed up to the football practice and he was really friendly and all, but I guess I was wrong... Well, I don't even know.

''Wanna come in?'' Kendall asks me, her small delicate hand still in mine.

''Yeah, sure.'' I softly smile at her.

We both enter and she closes the door behind us. She leads me upstairs and we make our way to her bedroom not once breaking our hold. As soon as we enter, she shuts the door and hugs me so tight. I stroke her back and play with her hair.

She pulls away. ''I'm sorry about what just happened... I think it's time I tell you everything now...''

She walks to her bed and sits on it, patting the blanker beside her. I make my way towards her and sit as well where her hand just smoothed the
blanket. I don't know what to expect and I'm kind of nervous which usually never, or almost never happens to me. I slowly grab her hand and I feel her imediatly get less tense. She looks at the floor then shuts her eyes before taking a deep breath. She turns around and looks at me.

''Okay... So... It all started when I was living back in Georgia. About a year and a half ago, I met Riley at a party. At that time, I never had a boyfriend before and I wanted one. I was vulnerable because I wanted to feel loved... And so, I believed all his sweet words. It didn't take long before we were officialy in a relationship. I was on a cloud and everything was basically perfect.. Until..''

She stops talking as I see tears starting to roll down her cheeks. I scoot closer to her and stroke her back.

''It's okay Kenny..'' I try to comfort her.

She takes a deep breath again and I wipe her tears away with my fingers. ''...Until... he started to.. be violent. He'd hurt me whenever we fight or even at stupid little things. I never told anyone because I was afraid he'd hurt me more. But one day, I had enough and I broke up with him, but it just made things worst...''

She starts to sob again and I squeeze her hand tighter in mine until she starts speaking again.

''...He would follow me everywhere, bully me, start rumors and steal my things. I lost all my friends and dived straight into depression. It was a very dark time of my life. All I wanted was to die. But then, my dad got a job here and a little flame lit up in me. I wanted to start all over so I didn't bother to tell anyone I was leaving except the only friend I had left, Sarah. And now, Riley fucking managed to find me and... I'm scared as hell of what he'll do Grayson!''

I pull her into my arms and we both lay on her bed. Her head is pressed against my neck and she is sobbing. Tears are flowing like a river out of her eyes and I feel so bad for her.

''I'll never, ever, let anything happen to you. I promise.''

She squeezes my body tighter against her's. A girl like her doesn't deserve all these bad things. Actually, nobody does. I would go and beat Riley's ass right now, but I won't. It would definetly get me in trouble and make things worst. We need to be smarter than that. Make him pay without getting in trouble. Again, we can't just file a claim against him because we don't have any formal proof and it would be his words against her's.

''Thank you Gray.'' She lifts her head and peck my lips.

''Stop thanking me cutie. It's nothing.'' I respond.

She giggles.

''Wanna sleep here?'' She asks with a cute puppy face. Who am I to say no?

''Sure.''

I slip off my clothes so that I'm left only in my boxers and she goes to get ready in the bathroom before coming back here and lay with me.

''Good night princess.'' I whisper in her ear. Her cold little body is pressed against mine, her hand grabbing my back. Her eyes are closed. She seems so peaceful. Not too long after, I dive into my imaginary world.
