Chapter 37: The Moon And The Sun

Alice

I sat down in the academy garden and listened to the lake splash, The garden is my second favorite spot beside the rink, it's like a fairytale, calm and gorgeous, green and full of flowers, a perfect place for a picnic or sit down and read.

Expect it's my favorite spot to take my mind off stuff and do my homework after school while Aaron is busy with practice-

"Hey there dollface" A husky deep voice tingled in the back of my neck, I rolled my eyes and smiled, "Greyson shouldn't you be-"

My heart skips a beat as glance in his direction and I jump back, "Ace"

I Cleared my throat as he gave me his creepy yet sexy smile and sat beside me, "I...I thought you left"
"No, just busy doing work"

Work.

I gulp feeling goosebumps rise on my arms, "What do you want Meadows" I glared at him as he sighed and glanced at the lake.

"Remember when you told me you would do anything for me after I did something for you and I told you it'll come soon?"

His smile dropped and death and fury were the one thing speaking to me, he had turned back into the thing I feared the most, the devil himself.

"Just say it" My voice shook in fear as he smiled wide, and pulls out something from his pocket, and handed it to me, With shaky hands I took it, but my heart dropped to my stomach knowing what it was.

In my hand was a bag, a small tiny little bag with white dust inside, "Arsenic"

"You want me to...hurt someone" A tear slips my eyes as I slowly glance in his direction, "Oh no love, I want you to kill someone, Greyson fucking Graham" he chuckled to himself, "your insane" I panted sitting up-

Before I could run away, Ace grasped my ankle and pulled me down, causing me to trip over myself, I hiss as I scrape my ankle and turn to glance at him hoovering over my body, "You know who I am Alice, I can easily murder your brother with a thumb do it or It'll do it myself, but I won't be too nice-"

"You shouldn't be doing this in public" I jerk up, my eyes widening in shock, "You can easily get destroyed" Quinn smirked while holding her phone up.

She then put her phone down and grasped both my wrists helping me up, I stood on my feet while she fists my hand,

"My father works for Roman Ford, your older brother is it, and I've heard rumors he treats his family as his own enemies, I wonder what he would think if he saw this video of his little brother blackmailing a girl for murder, it could practically ruin his picture, and he might kill you instead"

My heart pounded against my ear as I watched Quinn and Ace have a staring contest, She never backed down, while he furiously panted like a dog, "Or even worse, having drugs with him"

He smiles and runs a hand through his scalp,

"What the hell is going on here!"

Quinn and I jerked back, to notice Greyson along with Aaron, Nick, Jaylen, Abel, and Liam with Conrad were giving us three death stares, My eyes landed directly on Greyson, whose eyes softened but lightened with fury as he noticed my tears.

"Nothing he was just leaving" I glance back at Ace, who was storming up to me, I take a step back when suddenly my back hit someone's chest, "Watch your distance bud" Greyson slightly laughed while fisting my waist tightly, I sniffle and watched as Ace slowly went down on his knee to pick up the small bag of poison.

He then smiles and starts walking away, "I'll see you soon Dollface!" He shouts back taunting me by saying my nickname Greyson created for me.

Greyson

I sat on the porch front steps as I watched Alice swing back and forth against the tire swing facing the road, The team all went out for drinks since our first game of the season is tomorrow along with Thanksgiving next week but I decided to stay, She had been through hell and Aaron definitely needs a few drinks to get his mind off his parents.

I wonder what happened between her and her ex, and it boils my blood knowing he said something that made her cry.

I can't believe what our life has become, I've never expected myself to want to murder a fucker for making Alice Mayfield out of all girls, I hesitated to sit up and walk up to her and ask if she's okay, but the same time I didn't want to disturb her.

I sigh and fidget with my silver rings as I glance up at her to make sure she's safe, When I notice her hop off the swing and make her way toward the porch, our eyes connect from the distance and she freezes, She probably didn't expect me to be home.

"Hey, you stayed..." She slightly smiled sitting beside me, "Yeah wanted to make sure you were fine" I gaze at her from head to toe as she straighten her mini skirt to sit.

She sighed and propped her chin over her hands on her things while she stared at the sunset, It was darker than usal and the cold wind flew her hair back, "The sun is beautiful isn't it"

"The sun has always been beautiful, I heard a story about the sun and the moon once, can I tell you it?" I asked glancing back at the sky, with a smile on my lips, "Sure"

"The moon was dark and scary, and the sun was bright and beautiful, the moon lived for crazy midnights, the sun lived for peaceful mornings, he was the moon, and she was the sun, they were opposite souls, yet both waited patiently for the rare days when they might coexist peacefully,"

I glance back at her, to realize she was listening to every word, her eyes shining through the dark while mine were midnight black, She then smiled, "And then...the world named them Eclipse staring at both of them together, at last"

I finish giving her a smile back, "Thats beautiful Grey, who thought you could be such a perfect poet" She nudged me on the shoulder while staring back at the sky, It's not a poet, it's us my love.
