Miranda's POV
I sat there leaning against the wall, alone. Well not for long, a group of people gathered around and stared at me like I had just broken a bone. I didn't bother looking up because I didn't want them to see my tears. "Move out of the way!" I heard an un-familiar voice yell, "are you ok?" The male voice said.
"Who are you?" I said, not looking up.
"Grayson. Are you ok?" He asked again.
"No. I just want to leave." I said crying harder now at the thought of Nash.
"Ok let's go." Grayson said grabbing my hand to pick me up. I stood up and followed him out the door. "Do you drive?" He asked.
"No my sister drove me here but didn't want anything to do with me all night. Do you drive?"
"Oh. No I don't looks like we are walking. Live far?" He rubbed the back of his head.
"About a five minute drive." I mumbled
"About the same." He smiled, "so what happened back there?"
"I don't really want to talk about it." I looked down at the ground.
"Are you sure? I know we literally just met but you can trust me." He stopped in his tracks.
"I pretty much almost got raped." I yelled a little too loudly. I started to cry again and just fell to the ground.
"Oh shit." Grayson mumbled. He sat down next to me on the cold wet grass. We sat in silence for a long time.
"I don't know what to do anymore?! He's been such a jerk to me and my friend lately! I just don't know what to do!" I say through tears.
"We should get you home." Grayson picked me up bridal style, "where do you live?" I pointed to a house a few houses down.
In just a few minutes Grayson put me down on my front porch. I looked at his shoulder, where I placed my head, it was wet from my tears. "I'm sorry for getting your shirt all wet." I laughed a little.
"That's fine, it will dry. Can I get your number?" He asked shyly, "ya know just so I can check up on you tomorrow or something. To see if you're okay..."
"Uh sure..." I put my number in his phone, "thanks Grayson. It means a lot." I smiled opening the door.
"Oh wait, I never got your name." He said grabbing my arm before I could walk into my house. I looked back at my arm and he quickly pulled away, and I smiled.
"Miranda." I smiled and walked into my house closing and locking to door behind me.
