Thea

"I think we should call an Uber, no?" I ask Grey from besides me. We ate our food just few minutes ago and now we're standing out of the mall and in cold wind

"If your hands or legs are hurting yeah" he says but I shake my head. They do hurt but I won't tell him that

"No, let's walk if your not tired" I say and he nods, he starts walking so that answers my question

"You weren't even bad in stores." He says and I turn my head to him

"Yeah, because I was with you" he smirks at me and I roll my eyes, god this boy.

"So you will always call me when you will need something to buy?" He says and I act as I'm thinking

"I might"

"Oh shut up, you didn't even denied to take pictures with me in that mirror and when we were out. Needed to remind you of that?" He says and I roll my eyes

"Yeah I didn't because I knew you wouldn't let me say no" I say and he shakes his head at me

"You can send them too me to if you want. I don't mind" I add, fine it's true. I started enjoying his company and loving his presence.

Which is bad. Really bad. Really bad and unhealthy for me or him. I know that something bad will happen. At least something.

And I don't want that.

"Oh I will send them to you don't worry" he says with a smirk and I hit his arm "Oh by the way, where do you live anyways?" He says and I smirk

"You would of never guess" I say and he rolls his eyes "What? Like in London" he says and I act surprised

"How did you know!" I say and stop in my tracks but he rolls his eyes at my sarcasm and we start walking again "You'll hate me when I tell you" I say to him and hold back a smile

"What? Like besides me?" He says and he looks like he won't expect my answer

"Yeah, actually. I am." I say and he slows in his steps, he looks at me and then shakes his head "No, no you don't." He says and I laugh

"I do! Your the kid that is living in big mansion and I'm the girl that..lives close" I say and I hope he didn't heard the arguments or yellings with her when I was in house

"Your lying. How did I not see you?"

"Because I was mostly always out" I say and he huffs "Stop lying, shut up. Where do you live seriously" he says and I put my hand in air

"Literally one house besides you!" I say and almost let out a laugh, why doesn't he believe me?

"I still don't believe you" he says but doesn't look at me with disgust look if he heard us even, yelling at eachother

"Fine, you'll see" I say and he shakes his head. We talk about some other stuff and he laughs as I just listen to him. I don't know how he got me to smile in only two weeks.

Maybe because he's stupid. Yeah. Definitely that.

We got in our street and I quickly walked down my house even though I don't want to get in. I stand infront of it and I grab my bags from his hands

"This is it. I live here and...you live there" I say as I'm trying to show his house with my finger and he looks shocked a little bit

"So you do live here. Where you the girl that sprayed all the threatens?" He says with a smirk and I smile as I shrug "Don't know but that person for sure is a legend." I say and I finally managed him to get in his house since it's ten pm and we have school tomorrow,

But I wanted him to walk away before he saw her or the bottles of alcohol all around the place.

I walk inside and I fastly close the door, I almost fall over some bottles a few times "Silent! I'm listening news!" She yells and I huff

"When did you started listening news?" I say as I'm managing to get through bottles of alcohol all over the floor

"Shut up!" She yells and looks at me from the couch, she notices my bags "You could have bought food with that money" she says and I roll my eyes

"You know father didn't give you that money to waste on slut clothes! Or did you got that money FROM being a slut!" She yells when I get upstairs

"Shut the fuck up! I'm not a whore like you and this isn't his dirty money" I say to her and I yell at her few more times after she does to me. I finally shut my doors and I put my bags on the floor.

I get a message from Grey, and yes I give him his charger back, pictures we took. I look through the pictures but I don't smile even though I should. They're pretty.

I looked through my gallery for a schedule but before I find it I see a picture of Logan and I.

I immediately stop looking and searching through gallery. I click on the picture and it's actually a video. I sit on my bed and then lay down when the video starts

Logan is playing basketball and I laugh, in the video, of how he score every single time and then I curse, in video, because I scored only two times

"It's okay little sis! You'll do better the next time! Never let your hopes down! You'll make it! Believe in it!!" His voice fills the entire video

I miss you Logan. You wouldn't believe how I acted today. It's like it wasn't me.

"Logan I smiled" I said out loud and I shake my head at the thought of Grey

"I don't know what he's doing to me and it's only being two weeks but I feel a slight something in him. Not crush, don't worry about that.

Maybe he came in my life to save me. But I don't want to be saved Logan. It's not fair that I'm breathing and you're not. " I say and just as I'm done I get call from Grey and I answer it

Why is he calling me?

"Yeah?"

"Are you going to school tomorrow?" He asks and I roll my eyes at the thought of me saying yes

"Yea" what are you doing Grey? No, what are you doing Thea? Why are you doing this to the both of you? You'll both get hurt.

"Okay, I will come to you" he says and I widen my eyes

"No! I mean, I will get to you. No buts, see you tomorrow Grey!"

Before I could end the call he says "Goodnight Thea" and with that I end up a call.

No one said that to me in a long time. And my name is.. different when he says is. It's same but it's not. No, definitely not.

I pack my things for school and I put my head in my pillow.

What is going on?
