Chapter 16

"Shout if you want my heart, it is an open invitation!" - Maisie peters, you signed up for this

Cordelia paced anxiously around her room at Hawthorne house, she had just recieved a text from Nash telling her Grayson had been discharged from the hospital. One minute she had been getting ready for the Halloween ball, the next she was stood over an unconscious grayson. the ambulance was called and Grayson was taken to hospital Nash. Nash had stayed with him for the whole four days he was unconscious for, within those four days, tensions at Hawthorne house had been high, Jameson was drunker than usual, xander had exploded 15 machines in four days, in short, things weren't good, up until about five minutes ago, when she had received news that Grayson was ok. and that was all that mattered, that he was ok.

The drive back to Hawthorne house was a painful one for Grayson. Not physically, in fact he felt fine, but the fact that his sister was missing weighed heavily on his shoulders. Savannah and him hadn't ended on good terms, sav still didn't know about her father and there was no doubt that Eve would tell her now that she had her in her grasp. Grayson lent is head back against the seat, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down as he swallowed anxiously. he closed his eyes for a bit, he just wanted to go to sleep, he'd been asleep for four days for fucks sake, but he still ached for his bed and a good nights sleep.

"We're here gray." Nash shook Graysons arm until he lazily opened one eye. "Mm ok" the word came out as more of a mumble. Grayson gently pushed himself out of the car, careful not to get up too fast. "GRAYSON!!!" A female voice behind him made him whip around, causing him to feel a little unsteady, but Nash caught him. It was Gigi, running full speed towards him. "Gigi" he laughed quietly as she jumped into his arms, "howareyouareyouokivemissedyou!" Gigi's words all mumbled together, but Grayson got the gist of what she was saying. He laughed again. "Yeah, I'm ok."

Cordelia found herself flying down the stairs of Hawthorne house to see Grayson, admittedly, she'd been staring out the window until she saw the black suv pull up. She ran through the second floor foyer and down the seventh flight of stairs, and made it to the lobby just as Grayson and Nash entered. "Grayson." She panted, a smile creeping up her face. "Daisy." Cordelia crossed the space between them and came to rest her hands on his chest, after all, he was technically her boyfriend, right?. "You're ok?" She moved her hands, "yeah. Yeah I am." Grayson smiled at her, and for a moment it was just the two of them.... Until Gigi piped up, "sorry to ruin the moment, but do you like limes?"
