For the past few days, I have been texting and calling Grayson nonstop. We have been away for only 10 days and I still missed him like crazy.
Sometimes, Grayson wouldn't pick up his phone and he will be too tired. I could hear it in his voice and sometimes he fell asleep without calling me. It would take him forever to text back and I was starting to get worried.
I decided to give him another call. As I dialed his number, it went straight to voice mail. I tried again and it was no luck.
I sighed and watched TV while keeping my phone close to me. Suddenly, there was a call on my phone and I immediately picked it up.
It was my mom.
She said, "Hey Maddie, can you check if we have enough eggs in the fridge? I'm out grocery shopping and I forgot if we need more or not."
I grumbled a reply and checked the fridge. "There are no more eggs left so you should buy some."
My mom seemed to notice my grumpy mood because she asked, "Honey, what's the matter?"
I sighed and said, "I'm just really tired. I want to go to sleep so I have to go. Bye mom."
I hanged up on her. I was feeling down and talking to people won't help unless it was Grayson. I still haven't got a text from him and it was making me nervous.
Did he not like me anymore? Did he like someone else?
I shook my head fervently because Grayson wouldn't do that. I went into my room and laid my head on the bed. Soon, I was engulfed by the darkness.
I woke up to the sound of my phone beeping. I looked at it and noticed I had a text from Grayson.
I quickly got up from bed and checked the message. My mood went down even more when I read what it said.
"Hey, you called. I can't get back to you because I'm kind of busy right now. Sorry."
Million thoughts came to my mind. He didn't even elaborate on why he was busy and if he was really that busy he wouldn't even have time to text me this.
My depressed mood only made me grow angry. Did he really not have time for me anymore? It was still summer break and what could make him so busy?
I laid back down onto my bed and tried to sleep. Sleep seemed to have a mind of its own because it wouldn't come. I tossed and turned while thinking of Grayson. This only made me grow more angry.
I sighed and reached for my phone. I dialed Grayson's number and it dialed for a long time. It felt like eternity, but it was probably just seven seconds.
Finally, Grayson picked up.
He said, "Hey, is something wrong?"
I could hear how loud it was in the background.
I said, "I don't know. Where are you?"
He replied, "Outside. Can I call you back later Madison? I'm kind of busy right now."
"Can we talk? I haven't talked to you for some time and I miss you."
Grayson seemed to be distracted because he just said, "Uhm..... yeah..?"
This only seemed to fuel my anger more and I said, "What are you doing that makes you so busy? You barely have time to talk to me and you never seem to care anymore! I wait for you to call or text back, but you never do and when you do you just say your busy or tired."
I heard Grayson sigh and I knew he was probably pinching the top of his nose. He does that a lot when he was frustrated. He said, "Madison, I am really busy. I'm not fooling around if that's what you are implying. I can't always get back to you." Cold Grayson was back.
Tears seemed to well up in my eyes and I didn't know what to say.
I heard something from the Grayson's side of the phone. It was a woman's voice. She said, "Hey, Grayson! We need to get back to what we were doing before!!"
I took a quick intake of breath because even from her voice I could tell she was probably gorgeous. Grayson quickly said, "I really need to go now. I will talk to you later."
Then, he hanged up on me.
Tears flowed right out of my eyes and I sobbed on my own. I heard a knock on my door and someone entered, but I could care less.
I heard footsteps and someone sat down in front of me. It was Marco.
He grimaced at me and asked, "Why are you crying?"
I wiped my tears and said, "It's nothing, Marco. I want to sleep so can you just leave?"
He sighed at me and nodded. While he was leaving he asked, "Did something happen with Grayson?"
I just ignored him and laid back on my bed facing away from him.
Soon, the door closed and he left.
I felt so lonely.

I woke up the next day feeling a bit better. I decided last night to just forget about what happened. I was still mad at Grayson and he still hasn't called me back. I wasn't going to care anymore if he didn't even care enough about me.I hopped down the stairs and helped my mom bake. It helped me to get my mind off of things and I ignored the phone calls I was getting.
I cringed every time I saw how it was not Grayson calling. It was all my friends and I didn't really want to talk to people right now.
It was getting late soon and I realized I have been drifting off. I was sitting on the sofa after I cooked with my mom. She left with dad to buy him something. Marco hasn't been in the house for the whole day.
Suddenly, the home phone rang and I jumped up to answer it.
I picked up and said, "Hello?"
I heard a very frantic voice that belonged to Tristan.
He asked, "Madison? Is that you?"
I nodded, but then realized he probably couldn't see me. I said, "Uhm, yeah. Are you okay Tristan?"
He replied, "Madison you have to come here. You weren't picking up your phone and I'm at the hospital. You really need to come here."
I seemed to get really nervous and I quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Tristan said, "Grayson. He got in an accident. He's in the emergency room right now."
