Chapter 9

April's POV
After I finally escaped Grayson's grip, I got around to making breakfast. My mom was not home, probably shopping or something like that. So I just decided to make food for Grayson only, since I often don't eat in the mornings. I left him to eat while I went up to take a shower.

In the shower this time I didn't cut. In fact I haven't cut in a while, simply because I have nothing to be depressed about anymore. I know my mom is slowly dying, but me hurting my self will only make her die faster.

I know that I'm being forced to marry Grayson, but if I think about it , there are worser people I could've been stuck with. At least Grayson treats me right and puts an effort into our relationship.

After I got out of the shower, I blow dried my hair, then curled it. I applied my usual amount of make up, which is barely noticeable. I decided to wear the shorts I bought yesterday, with a black shirt, my black pair of converse, and tie the red checkered pattern flannel around my slim waist.

When I went downstairs, I saw that my mom was already back. Her and Grayson were emptying out the groceries, and talking. "Grayson please take care of her." My mom said, as she patted Grayson's back and he nodded. "Take care of who?" I asked as I walked in, and sat on one of the chairs surrounding the island.

"She's talking about you. I asked your mom about the sleepover tonight and she said yes. She even said she was going to send you home with me earlier, since she's working late tonight and doesn't want you home alone."

I watched as Grayson spoke while emptying out the plastic bag of apples, placing them in the right place. "I guess I'll go up and pack then." I said as I left my mom and Grayson in the kitchen.

I went into my closet and grabbed a bunch of clothes that I thought I might need, I shoved them all into the first random bag I laid my eyes on. After getting all my essentials, I went downstairs and said goodbye to my mom.

Grayson and I, got into his car and drove off towards his house, which is around an hour away from mine. I decided to take a little nap, while Grayson drove without saying a word, but it was normal since me and him always drive in silence.

••••••••••••••
Grayson's house is really big, I can tell by only staring at it from the outside.  I stood there like a weirdo admiring the light grey colour of the house and the different coloured curtains that are placed into each window.

I felt someone's arm wrap around my waste, I suddenly got startled by the move, but Grayson just held me tight to his waste while using his other hand to hold my bag.

Normally I would've slapped his hands off, but I guess he just did it so when we walk in we would actually look like a couple. The second Grayson unlocked the doors, loud male voices were heard from all around the house, although none of them were in my sight.

They were all screaming random things and laughing and talking to each other. "Cameron quit hogging the chips! You're going to finish it before Grayson's hot girlfriend can arrive, then she'll think we are fatties that don't work out!" After that was said, I heard loud laughs and something being thrown, I'm guessing at the person who said it.

"Shut up Hunter, she wouldn't even look at you, what are you like 12?" The other boy replied sassily, which I'm guessing is Cameron. "I'm fifteen!" He yelled back, while all the other guys laughed.

But before I can keep listening to the very interesting conversation, Grayson started dragging me behind him. I thought we were going to meet the guys, but I was wrong.

Instead Grayson made me go up the stairs, pass three doors, before he stopped at one that was painted grey, the same colour as their house. I guessed that it was his bedroom because it said Grayson on the door in bold letters.

He opened the door and let us both in, he went over to his closet to set my bag there, as I just stood and once again admired the view. Grayson's room was surprisingly clean, unlike other boys, but I'm guessing his mom cleaned it.

His bed sheets were grey and the walls were grey too, but one wall was painted a mustard type of yellow, giving the whole room a pop of colour. He had a couch, with throw pillows that were also yellow. Everything was grey, yellow, and white with hints of black.

"Its going to be our bedroom soon, so you can take a look later. But now come on, we need to go down." I quickly nodded at him and once again I was being pulled behind him.

When he finally made it to the basement, there were so many new faces, that I got dizzy. The only person that I recognized was Ethan, but other than that, I had no idea who any of these people were.

Although they were all good looking and attractive, I'm kind of scared to be in a room with so much males, but Grayson's here. I watched as all of their different coloured eyes landed on me and they all went silent.

"Guys this is April, my girlfriend/fiancé/soon-to-be-wife, call her what you want!" Grayson introduced me, as all the guys were still looking at me. They had no expression on their faces, aside from Ethan who was giving me a slight smile which I returned.

"Okay now April, keep up with me, there are a lot of them." Grayson warned me, but I just nodded because I'm really good with remembering people's names.

"That's Cameron, Hayes, Hunter, Brandon, Jacob, Jack, Jack, Brent, Nash, Aaron, Matthew, and Shawn." I looked at all of them one by one, memorizing their features, and realizing how some of them look smaller in age than others.

Mostly all of them had brown hair, which will make it a little harder for me to recognize each one, but they all had something different to tell them apart.
