The Story of Us || g.d.

~25~

I wake up to the sound of yelling and rub my eyes, looking to see that Grayson is no longer in his bed. I climb out, cautiously walking down the hallway to see an angry Cameron bickering with Grayson. I stand nervously, watching until Cameron notices me and runs over, engulfing me into a tight embrace.

"Cam." I squirm.

"I didn't expect you to come here in a thousand years." Cameron lets go and runs his hand through his hair. "When you left, I thought you went to Ally's, so I let you go. I called Ally this morning and she said she hadn't seen you and you weren't answering her. You nearly gave me a heart attack."

"I'm sorry." I frown, knowing I should've at least said I was here.

"All that matters is that I know you're here now." He kisses my head and observes what I am wearing. "What did you two do?" Cam glares at Grayson.

"Nothing! We just slept together." Grayson glares back.

"He means sleep as sleep, Cam." I grab his arm so he looks back at me.

"Okay. Well, it's already noon so I suggest calling Ally to help you find a dress for tonight."

I roll my eyes. "Do we actually have to go to that?"

"Yes. I know Dad hasn't done much with us lately, but he's trying." Cameron insists.

"You lived with him longer, so you would know." I grumble.

"You're right. Go change back into your clothes and I'll drive you to Ally's." He points down the hallway.

I look to Grayson and now notice the light purple bruise on the side of his face. I can't believe I didn't notice it earlier. He raises his eyebrows so I turn around and change in his room before gathering my things and following Cameron out of their apartment.

We get into his car and soon reaches Ally's apartment complex. I jump out and slam the door.

"Bye, I love you!" Cameron calls after me.

I wave and continue to walk up the stairs to her penthouse. When I finally reach her floor, I open the door and close it grumpily.

"Trin?" Ally walks cautiously out of her room in pajamas.

"Yeah. We have to go shopping." I sit down at their table and take a banana.

"Alright. I'll go change." She turns around and closes the door to her bedroom.

When I'm finished with the banana, I throw out the peel and get myself a glass of water. It feels like forever since I've been here. There's been way too much drama going on. Stress has gotten the best of me.

"So what are we shopping for?" Ally comes out with her hair in a bun and a tank top tucked into her skirt.

"My dad's company gala." I shrug and walk to the door with Ally following behind.

"Did he give you money?" She asks, closing the door and locking it.

"Yeah." I wave the check in front of her before actually looking at the amount. "Wow he wants me to get something good."

"Uh $3,000 is a lot." Ally smirks.

"I was thinking Sherri Hill?" I raise my eyebrows at her as we cross the street to walk to the mall.

"Sounds good." We walk a little more until we see the mall. The second we set foot through the doors, someone runs up to me.

"Oh my gosh! You're Trinity Toures, Cameron's sister and Hayes's girlfriend." She squeals. "Can I have a picture?"
