*Christmas break*
Stella's POV
It's been two weeks since Grayson and I had our fight. I still can't believe he called me a slut. Of all the things he could've called me, why that? I feel like I can't forgive that, but i want to.
Since then, I've hung out with Cam a lot since he's one of the few people I talk to. Then my phone buzzes
Cam<3: Heyy Stella, you wanna hang out? Watch some Netflix? Drink hot cocoa? Maybe have a snowball fight?
Me: Netflix, hot cocoa and snowball fight? I'm up for that
Cam<3: Cool, come over whenever
I put my phone down and go to my closet to pick out something. I wanna be cute, cozy and comfortable. I put black leggings on and pull some jeans over them. Then I grab a white and maroon stripped t shirt putting it on, along with a maroon scarf. I pull on some black combats boots then look in the mirror. Nice, I look good.
I quickly put my usual make up. I grab my army jacket and put it on as I walk down the stairs. Before leaving I take my bag and some gloves.
As I turned around from closing the door there he was. Standing in the cold weather in a black long sleeve shirt and beige pants. His hair looked perfect. I just wanted to run to him, to jump in his arms and forgive him. But I couldn't right? We just stood there, two feet separating us as we stared at one another til he broke the silence
"Stella. I'm so sorry. I know I've said it to you so many time and it doesn't mean anything to you, but I really am. I miss you, I miss us, whatever it was we were, I miss it" he says walking up to me grabbing my hands. His hands are freezing.
"How long have you been waiting out here?"
"Doesn't matter. I had to wait til you came out, so that I could apologize in person" I let go of his hands opening my front door and pulling him in
"Get inside. You're freezing" I say
"Sit. I'm gonna make us some hot chocolate" I say pushing him onto the couch near the fireplace
"Stels you don't have to" Stels. He called me Stels, I've missed that
"Uh it's okay Gray" I say pouring in the mix with some milk
"Marshmallows?" I ask
"Yeah" he responds. Slowly I walk over with two mugs
"Here" I say handing him one
"Thanks" he says flashing his smile. We sip on the hot cocoa looking to the fire. At the same time we say each others names "Grayson""Stella"
"You first" we say in sync causing each other to laugh
"I'll go first" I say stopping my laughter
"I want to forgive you Grayson" I say grabbing his hand
"I just have a hard time letting go of what you said. Because at my last school" I pause starting to choke up
"Because everyone used to call me a slut at my old school. At first it didn't bother me because it wasn't true so why should I care? But then they started this rumor that I was sleeping with one of my teachers for good grades, when I finally decided to apply myself in school. I tried to hide how bad I felt about it, but my mom found out about it. Everyone hated me, but when my mom got involved they just hated me more, if that was even possible."
I hold in my tears, grabbing his hand tighter
"That's why it hurt so bad. That's why I haven't forgiven you yet. You're the first real friend I've had in a while, but then you turned around and called me that. It just really messed me up"
Grayson's POV
I'm an asshole. A complete and totally asshole.
I just pull her in for a hug. Burying her face into my chest as she let out tears. I just hold her, not saying anything. It's not fair for me to try and apologize in this moment, because this is about being here for her not anything else. She decides what happens next.
She pulls back from the hug, looking at me deep in my eyes
"Grayson, I forgive you" she says giving me some relief. She starts to look up then down before placing her hand on my cheek
She starts leaning in and so do I. We're about to kiss, to feel that spark again. I've missed her kisses.
As we lean in, our lips almost touching, Stella's phone goes off. We both look at her phone to the side of us. The message reads:
Cam<3: So when you coming over babe? ;)
She quickly closes the screen though. I want to be mad with her, but I can't. She's not doing anything wrong being with Cam. I don't want her to be with him, but I'm not gonna say something that could make me lose her.
"Grayson, I can explain" she says grabbing my face so that I'm looking at her
"You don't have to, you don't need to explain yourself" I say looking down
"Look at me" she says, I do it.
"I want to explain. I've been hanging out with Cam a lot recently since he's my only other friend besides you. Nothing's happening between us. Yeah we've made out a couple of times, but we're not dating or anything"
"Do you want to?" I ask
"Want to what?" she asks confused
"Do you to date him?" I ask her. She looks away for a second and turns back. I wait for her response, but part of me doesn't want to know because I know the answer could be yes.
