The Love We Found

Chapter 4

Axel's POV:

I woke up to people awing. I went to move my head and realized I couldn't. Opening my eyes I realized why. I was laying on my side facing Grant, my left arm pinned under my body while my right arm was wrapped around his waist. Grant had his right arm under my head and I was pressed against his chest while his left arm was over the top of my head. Moving my head and shoulder a little bit I could see my parents and Maddi standing there. When I noticed Maddi had her phone out I panicked.

I quickly yanked myself out from under Grant's arm and shoved him away from me. I got up slipping on the blankets that we had sprawled out on to make the hard wood floor softer. I completely wiped out landing smack on my back. I let out a loud groan covering my face. I rolled onto my front and slowly got up even though there was pain. I gave everyone a glare and ran up the stairs. Everyone just looked confused when I had gotten up, Grant because he had no idea what was going on since he had only woken up due to my shoving him away.

I had no idea why they thought it was a good idea to take photos when I am not even comfortable with this whole thing yet. I locked my bedroom door behind me heading to my closet that was connected to my bathroom. I grabbed a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, boxers, and socks, before heading into the bathroom to take a shower. I noticed how red my back was in the mirror as I passed. Great, another day to be nice and sore, when I have football practice. I jumped in the shower once it was heated up, I quickly washed and dried up because I forgot to check the time and I didn't want to be late. I got dressed and through the towel and my shorts into the laundry basket in the room.

I opened the door and walked into my closet. I took two steps before I felt two arms wrap around my waist. I screamed. I was lifted off my feet and twisted to have my back against the wall. I stopped screaming when I saw it was Grant. I started to glare at him when he wrapped my legs around his waist pressing me against the wall.

"what the fuck are you doing?"

"I could ask you the same thing, Why the hell did you flip out and hit me this morning?"

"They were taking pictures. I panicked and just tried to get away."

"Shit... I forgot." He said, quickly setting me back on my feet. He took four steps away from me. I was confused until I remembered our deal.

"I'll get a ride with my dad. You and Maddi can leave whenever your ready."

He nodded while I left the room. I know him and Maddi are going to give me hell, but my plan was to ignore them for the next two days. Even at practice I am going to avoid him as much as possible. In two days is the homecoming game. We have practice tonight and tomorrow and that's it. After yesterday's practice I need to keep my cool. In case you haven't noticed I'm not on my meds anymore. I may have lied when I said I was off them for a week. It's been close to two months now and I haven't taken them. Yesterday was just a bad day, something like that shouldn't happen again.

My Dad was walking to the door once I had made it down the stairs. I threw my sneakers on before running out the door after him. I hopped in his truck. Literally having to jump to get in. I got a confused glance, usually Tuesday-Friday Grant will pick me up and bring me home. Monday mornings he can't because he has dra-- a club meeting. I totally don't know what club it is though. I shook my head at my dad motioning I will tell him later. Once we arrived at school, I got out and shut the door making sure he wouldn't have time to ask about my meds. I walked into the school avoiding where our friends normally stand knowing Grant was going to show up soon.

I got to my locker and was just chilling hanging around it. I had the door open an was just moving things around when I got pushed from behind. I turned around and saw my backup quarterback.
