The Story of Us || g.d.

~10~

I walk down the loud LA streets and look before crossing the road to Taco Bell. It looks more crowded than normal. Half the time they're lucky to have 5 people in at a time. I catch Drew sitting at an end booth so I walk over and sit across from him, causing him to look up.

"Hey, Trin." He's got a depressed look on and it makes me uneasy.

"Hey."

"I heard about your mom. I know how you're probably feeling and I'm sorry." He takes my hand.

"Thanks. But Drew-"

"Wait. I'm not done. I wanted to tell you that I acted poorly when we were supposed to study. I don't know what was going on with me. If you want me to be completely honest, someone slipped me something that would help me handle the game. I just my emotions just got heightened." Drew runs a hand over his face.

"You took drugs?" I look at him in disbelief.

"A senior gave it to me. I'm not doing it again." He insists.

"Okay. Next time you should just talk to me. I was scared when you suddenly came onto me, you know." I fold my arms.

"I know. I'm sorry."

We're silent for a couple minutes, us just staring back at each other and taking in everything that was said.

"Are you actually dating him?" His voice seems distant.

"Who?" I frown.

"Grayson Dolan." Drew looks away.

"No. Why?" I furrow my brows.

"He texted me."

"What?" I take his phone out of his hands and look at the text from the unknown number. G-'If you lay another hand on my girlfriend, I will hurt you.' D-'Who is this?' G-'Grayson Dolan.' "I will kill him." I grit my teeth.

"Okay. I'll text you later?" He raises his eyebrows.

"Yeah. I forgive you." I nod and stand up.

"Bye. I'm sorry!" He yells as I storm out of Taco Bell and running through the traffic across the street. Anger courses through me. He has no right to call me his girlfriend and threaten my friends. I know Drew and I weren't friends at the moment but he still should've said something. I walk into our building and go up the stairs, not caring to wait for the elevator. Once I make it to our level, I push through the door and open our door, seeing Eth and Gray face me from in front of a camera.

"Grayson Bailey Dolan." I growl at him.

"Hey, you know his middle name." Ethan grins and turns to Grayson.

"Did you have fun with your rapist?" He glares at me.

I frown and walk in front of the camera and drag him away. "You had no right to text him."

"Sure. He tried to hurt you." He shrugs.

"Well you said I was your girlfriend when I'm not." I fold my arms.

"Don't you want to be?" Grayson raises his eyebrows.

I sigh and roll my eyes, annoyed with this teenage boy. "Where is Jack and Aaron?"

"Out with their other friends. We're making a video wanna join?" Ethan smirks.

"Nope." I smile back and go to the kitchen and sit on the counter.

"But the camera loves you!" Ethan turns it to me and zooms.

"I hate the camera." I flip them off and turn around.
