the last chapter almost has 30votes wtf i love you

Samantha's POV

I walk into Grayson's room feeling extremely guilty. I don't know why i feel this amount of guilt but i have decided I'm not going to mention the conversation i had overheard. Obviously they don't want Grayson to find out and i sure as hell am not going to be the one to tell him. Its none of my business to get in the middle of their family drama anyway.

I hand Grayson the pills and he swallows them along with the water that was sitting on his nightstand. Out of no where i feel a hand wrap around my wrist and i am pulled onto the bed. I squeal and we both erupt in laughter. He begins tickling me and my body starts to jerk in many ways to try and get away from his hands. I am trying to think of a way to make him stop without injuring either of us. Ah ha.

"Ow Grayson that hurts!" I say out of breath with a little added faux pain. His hands immediately disappear and i look at him and he looks so concerned. "Kidding." I smile at him poking his nose.

"Oh my god i thought i actually hurt you!" He says pulling me onto his lap. I gasp a little but recover quickly and play it off with a cough. I start to laugh for no reason and he begins laughing also. "I love your laugh." He remarks smiling at me.

"Yours is a bit pitchy, you should work on that." I joke smiling at him.

"I am truly offended." He tells me putting one of his hands over his heart.

The door clicks and Ethan walks in.

"Mom lef- oh sorry guys." I quickly climb off of Grayson's lap and sit next to him causing my face to get red and the twins to laugh. Ethan awkwardly stands by the door looking like he wants to say something.

"You can go now E." Grayson says shooing Ethan out. Ethan looks down at the ground and walks out of the room leaving the door wide open. I hate when people do that.

"What's up with him?" I ask Gray.

"He's jealous." Grayson says looking sideways at me.

"Jealous of what?" I ask.

"That you are in my bed with me." Grayson smiles pulling me into his side. I smile too and try not to overthink it.

"Have you ever been in love?" I blurt out without even realizing it.

"Uhm." he starts seeming uncomfortable.

"You don't have to answer that, I'm so sorry i don't know what i was thinking when i asked that." Words were just tumbling out of my mouth like an idiot.

"No it's okay." He says clearing his throat. "But to answer your question, yes, once. When i was 17 I fell in love but she never loved me. I thought she did, she really wanted me to believe that she did. She ended up using me, she was cheating on me the entire time we were so called 'dating'. Toward the end of our relationship she told me that she never loved me and that i meant nothing to her. That was one of the worst days of my life to be honest with you. A while after that i swore i would never fall in love again but recently i have been reconsidering." He was staring at me the entire time. I couldn't look away, even if i wanted to i couldn't. I can tell he never talks about things like this by the way he is fidgeting with his hands. I want to do everything in my power to take the frown from his face. I grab both of his hands and hold them in my own. I lock our fingers together and stay silent, i don't want to say the wrong thing and make him even more uncomfortable. I am so glad he opened up to me because he doesn't seem like the sappy emotional type. My thoughts drift back to when Grayson and I were on the swings in the little rundown park at the end of the street, when i told him my life story and he told me little about himself. He feels like a different person now, that feels like a different lifetime. He seems to trust me more and we seem to be getting closer. I wonder if he even remembers the few times at the park, the one where he ran away from all of my questions and then again when he saved me from that drunk man. My curiosity takes over and I can't help but ask.

"Do you remember meeting me?" I ask him. He looks confused for a second before responding with the most reassuring look.

"How could i forget? Your beautiful smile is forever engraved into my head." He says before kissing the top of my head. I can't help but grin madly at him. "There it is." He whispers.
