-----Ariana's POV-----

Its been about two months since Grayson and I have had our, well I guess you can call it a fallout. We haven't talked. I figured it would be so much easier if I just stayed away from him. Our moments together still haunts me ever so often. Being friends with him, or just even talking with him would just bring back the memories even more often. He seems to be doing better without me anyway. Otherwise, for me not so much. I lost most of my friends. Well most of my friends were Grayson's friends and at first it was alright. But I would eventually see Grayson and it would be awkward or I would start to feel a deep pain in my chest.

I just couldn't anymore.

I still have Brooke. She is still with Ethan. They are scute together. They have had their problems, but Brooke isn't as sensitive as I am. I sit with them and a couple if other friends at lunch. God. I can't believe we have only 3 months left of school. This year went by so fast. It was like only yesterday I moved here. Like only yesterday was my first day of school. Like only yesterday... was that day that I bumped into Grayson.

No. I can't do this.

----Graysons's POV-----

Its been awhile since I have talked to Ariana. I miss her. I miss us. Everything just seems to have changed, not that much. But I can feel the difference. I don't know its hard to explain I guess. Everything's harder know. She use to tutor me in all the classes we had together, which was everything except for Reading and Science. She just kind of left me, completely. She boxed me out. I wasn't the only one. She only really talks to Brooke and Ethan. Ethan checks up on her for me and keeps me filled in. We have exchanged glimpses, but usually nothing more. She keeps her distance. I wish she would just talk to me.

I wish.

--Ariana's POV-----

Yes. The bell rung. It was study hall. I love study hall. I get to go to my locker when I please and chill in the library all period for like a hour and a half just about. I walked out my class and headed toward my locker. I switched folders, put my textbooks up, and grabbed my favorite book that I have been reading. I headed towards the library. Oh my god. There was no seats.

Damn it.

I walked to the cafeteria. And sat down at a table in the corner of the cafeteria and opened my book. I was hungry after a bit, so I decided to go get me something from the vending machine. I got up and walked towards it. I stuck my dollar in and pressed the number and grabbed my bag of chips. I turned around looking down, and fell into someone.

"You okay?" A familiar voice asked. I looked up and it was Grayson. Thanks Faith, you really had to do this again?

"Yea, uh sorry I have to go now." I say not making eye contact.

"No please Ariana. Talk to me." He says.

"What is there to talk about?" I ask.

"Us."

"Grayson, there is no us. There was, but no longer I dont want to risk it." I say.

"Sometimes I think about the way we were and it makes me sick because its not you and I anymore. Its you, and I. Seperate, apart, distant. We onced were apart and meant so much to eacher other, and now we are strangers back at square one." He said. He grabbed my hand and held it.
"You can't tell me that not one day doesn't go bye were you didn't think of us, you can't say that you have never wished that we were back to the way we were." He said. He was true. I have thought if us, and wished there was still us.

"Can you just forgive me Ariana?"

"I do forgive you. Forgiving someone is easy Grayson. But trusting some one, is a completely different story." I say.

"Why?" He asked.

"Why, what?"

"Why did you shut me out? Not only me but some others. You only really talk to Ethan and Brooke and like maybe two other people. You stopped talking to me completely. You wouldn't at least be just friends with me." He said looking into my eyes. He continued, "Why?" I stood there in silence.

"After all this I think I at least deserve and answer to that question." He says.

"If you really want to know grayson it hurt me. It hurt me to let you go, and every day it hurt me to be with some of my old friends cuz they were your friends and I would always see you and I would get that a deep pain in my chest. That's why I shut everyone out, even you. I thought it was easier."
"Look Ariana. I'm not asking for you to take me back, just please let me back in. Let me earn you back or something. I want to be with you. I don't care if you my friend or girlfriend, stop being scared."

He was right. I need to stop being scared. I dont know of we will ever be the same again, but I guess we can be friends.

No heartbreak there.
