Friends with benefits

Chapter 7

2 months later
Abby's POV
Today was the day we were all heading off to college. My mom is bringing me and my dad is brining Payton since we are going to different colleges.
I got up around 6:00 in the morning since its a 2 hour ride and I need to be there for 8:30.
"Are you coming to say goodbye😭" Grayson texted.
"Yeah be right over" I texted and got in the car.
2 minutes later I pulled up his driveway and saw him packing his car.
"Hey"
"Hey abs" he said and hugged me.
"I can't believe this goodbye" i started to cry.
"This isn't goodbye" he said hugging me tight.
"I'm going to miss my best friend" By this point I was bawling my eyes out.
"I'm going to miss you too but we will still keep in touch" he said pulling away to look at my face.
He wiped my tears away with his thumb and gave me a weak smile.
"Call me as much as you can" I said hugging him again.
"I will don't worry. Well I guess I will see you in a few months then" he said pulling away with tears in his eyes.
"Yeah see you then" I said walking towards my car.
"Abby wait" he yelled.
"What"
"I-I-I umm. Never mind"
"Are you sure?" I asked standing next to my car.
"Yeah see you later I guess" he said
"Bye best friend" I said getting in my car.
"Bye abs" he said with a weak smile.
I backed out of the driveway and waved one last time before heading home. It's going to be weird live so far away him.
(I'm tearing up a little bit haha)
----Grayson's POV----
"Are you coming to say goodbye😭" I texted Abby.
"Yeah be right over".
I quickly grabbed all my stuff and started putting it in the car. A few minutes later she pulled up the driveway.
"Hey" she said getting out of the car.
"Hey abs"
"I can't believe this is goodbye" she said with tears in her eyes
"This isn't goodbye" I said hugging her tight not wanting to let her go.
"I'm going to miss my best friend"
"I'm going to miss you too but we will still keep in touch" I said pulling away to look at her beautiful face.
I wiped her tears away with my thumb and hugged her again.
"Call me as much as you can" she said
"I will don't worry. Well I guess I will see you in a few months then" I said pulling away
"Yeah see you then" she said walking towards her car.
I didn't want her to leave.
"Abby wait" I yelled.
"What"
"I-I-I umm never mind" I wanted to tell her that I want her to be mine but I just couldn't do it. I have to let her go.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah see you later I guess" I said
"Bye best friend" she said getting into her car
"Bye abs" I said giving her a weak smile.
After her car was out of sight I cried.
"Bro it's okay" Ethan said walking out of the house.
"Not really I just let her go. I really like her. But now there's no way I'm going to win her love" I said crying into my hands.
"Gray if you really care about her then tell her"
"I already did 2 years ago but she said she wasn't ready to date"
"Well then nows your chance" he said slapping my back.
"Thanks Ethan but I think I'll pass. We need to head off to college anyways. Are you ready?" I asked.
"Yeah I guess"
Me and Ethan are going to the same college so we are just going to go together.
The whole ride there I couldn't get Abby out of my mind.
