Miranda's POV
"I'll miss you." Paige says as she hugs me.
I'm standing in the airport, 2 weeks after arriving back from Los Angeles, I'm going back. My dad and Jack are ready to board the plane and I'm not ready to leave my best friend. "I'll miss you too."
"I'll have to come visit." Paige pulls away from the hug and her eyes are all red and puffy.
"Paige, it's time to board the plane." My dad says.
"Just like in the movies." Paige laughs.
"I'll call you when we land." I smile.
I hug Paige one last time before boarding the plane.
"Another new chapter." Jack says side hugging me.
"Another new chapter." I whisper.
*in Los Angeles*
"Back again." I smile.
"Key for you and a key for you." My dad hands Jack and I our very own keys, finally.
"So is it an apartment or a house?" Jack smiles.
"Apartment, over looking one of the nicest beaches in the USA."
"You're kidding." I smile.
"This is going to be awesome!"
We exit the airport and there he is, leaning against a Range Rover. Great Aaron is here too. "What are they doing here?" I say through gritted teeth to Jack.
"They're here to take us to our apartment." My dad said.
"Hey Miranda." Aaron chirps.
"Hey." I hug him and glance over to Grayson who is staring dead at me.
"How's your-"
I cut him off and look over to my dad.
"Oh right." He whispers, "how's life?" He winks.
"Amazing!" I practically scream and look at Grayson through the corner of my eye, still looking at me.
"We should go." Jack smiles.
"Sounds good." My dad smiles.
*at the apartment*
Me and Jack run into the apartment like two 4 year olds, just to choose our rooms. "Hey you two, I've already chosen the rooms for you." My dad smiles.
"Was that why you were gone over night a few weeks ago?" Jack asks.
"Yep." My dad smiles.
I walk into a room that's all set up for me. The walls white and on one wall a giant rose painted on, gorgeous. My bed set is black and white and my dad put pictures on my dresser. Pictures of me and him, when I was so small. I pick up one of the pictures and tears stream down my cheeks.
My dad stands in the doorway, "you like it?"
"I love it, this is amazing." I run up to him and hug him.
"I'm glad you do."
"Thanks dad."
"You're welcome sweetheart. You better get out there, someone wants to talk to you."
"Hey." Grayson says as I walk into the living room.
"Hi." I fake a smile.
"Can we talk? Like outside the apartment?" He asks.
"I guess."
We walk out of the apartment and I lean against a wall. We stand in silence forever, "what did you want to talk about?" I say.
"I miss you." He says not looking at me.
"You were going to break up with me." I fight back the tears, "I deserve to hate you. How long were you planning to break up with me?"
"Not long."
"How long is not long?"
"A month."
"You said you loved me! Was that just a lie?"
"Miranda."
"You lied to me?" Tears start rolling down my cheeks, "you didn't even love me."
"Please. I can explain."
"Explain what? Grayson, you lied to me, you were going to break up with me!"
"Miranda?" Aaron pops his head out of the doorway.
"Aaron, please. Not a good time." Grayson says.
"I'd rather talk to him than sit here and listen to you lie to me even more!" I walk away.
