Braylon's POV
I glare at Parker, my soggy hair dripping wet.
He turns the hose off. I yank my arms from Braydon's grasp, and rub my wrists.
He smirks at me. "You know, I actually wasn't planning on spraying you with ol' Gus here." He pats the old hose. "But then you called me an arrogant asshole."
I smirk and get a face full of water. "Not funny. You got water up my nose." I say wiping my face.
He shrugs. "Ok, go get changed. Tell that lover boy of yours that I want to meet him. Now go away, you turd." He laughs.
"You know, if Jayden didn't lock my room door, I wouldn't have run out side. Just so you know. So don't think you outsmarted me. Cause we both know that won't ever happen."
I walk back up to the door and right when I reach it, Parker gives me a little whack on the butt.
I put my hand up over my head and flip all of them off.
I glance over my shoulder and see them all giving me both of their 'birdies' back at me.
  I laugh and go inside. I grab my phone off the counter, shoot Aaron a text and head upstairs to get changed out of my soaking wet dress.
  I wiggle into my sweatpants, and my school sweatshirt. I stand on front of my full length mirror and go into snapchat.
  I snap a picture with the flash and caption it Reppin Liverpool 🔹🔸
I put my hair in a messy bun and put in my all time favorite movie. Fast and Furious 5.
"Braylon!" I hear a long shout from the down hallway.
Not bothering to see who it is, I holler back. "What?"
Pounding drums through the doorway and Grayson bursts through. "You didn't wait! Why didn't you wait?" He exclaims, breathing heavy.
I shrug and grab the popcorn bin that was in his hands.
"You took too long. Plus I thought you were mad at me. You know, for me saying that I didn't want you to protect me anymore."
He takes the popcorn back from me, "Even if you don't want me to protect you anymore, it's not gonna happen."
I bite my lip and stare at the TV screen, my eyes watering.
I glance at Grayson really quick and he doesn't seem to notice me tearing up. Good thing I guess.
"Stop sneaking glances at me."
Ok, spoke too soon.
"I'm not." I deny.
"Are too."
"Am not."
"Are too."
"Am not."
"Are to-"
I sigh angrily. "Ok stop doing that, it's annoying."
It becomes quiet for a little while.
The tension in the air is almost unbearable, but it breaks when he asks, "So, why are you and Aaron dating?"

Unknown's POV
"Why didn't you do it?" I ask angrily at her. I take another swig from my bottle.
"I tried! Ok? It's hard you know, I still miss her as my best friend. The times we had together were the best. They were so fun. But ever since what you did, not me, she won't even let me say a single word." Karlee spats. "So next time you want me to do something to her, think that maybe I don't want to lose my best friend, dad."
  My blood boils. "Karlee Rose! How many times do I tell you not to call me that?" I snarl at her, the alcohol is starting to kick in.
"You know what happens when you do." I hiss at her, my eyes darkening.
I walk forward and she cowers back on fear. I look into her eyes and see them blue and sparkling. The alcohol takes over my body and I'm numb.
I lift my hand up and ball it into a fist and smash it down.

Braylon's POV
"Let's go girls! Stop walking." I shout at the girls who are walking up the lap. Coach tweets the whistle again, signaling that we have to run another lap.
I hear a couple of groans. I don't look back to have to know its Karlee and her group of friends.
I sprint past the finish line on the track and wait for the others.
Ally comes up next to me, panting.
"You know, you should have done track. Or cross country." She says between breaths.
I make a disgusted face. I hate running when I'm forced. I only like to run when I need to, like soccer, or base running in softball. But when I'm forced, I hate it.
I start to laugh when I'm cut off by Ally gasping. "Oh. My. Gosh."
"What?" She points. I follow her finger. My hands travel up to my face and I cover my mouth, gasping as well.
Karlee is covered with bruises around her right eye.
Ally whimpers next to me.
I turn away and I look at Ally. Her eyes are filled with tears.
"Why are you crying?" I ask her.
She sniffles and rubbed her eyes. "She getting abused Braylon. Abused."
I ponder the thought for a moment before disagreeing.
"No she's not, I know Karlee. She can defend herself, against flying fists. And throw a couple of her own, although they don't hurt one bit." I chuckle to myself.
"She probably got in a fight. If she was getting abused, why would the abuser only punch her right eye?" I ask her.
"Yeah, your probably right." Ally says.

We finished practice and are walking to the car.
My phone buzzes and I look at it.
From: Parker 🌿✌️
"Hurry up. There's some news. Bad news."
I start to get worried as I wait for them. I don't reply, but I keep rereading the message. What could be the bad news?
My thoughts are interrupted when I hear the squealing of tires.
I hop into the car and as soon as my feet are off the pavement, Parker rushed out of the parking lot.
I stare at him a moment before taking notice of his teary eyes.
"Parker? What's wrong?" I ask nervously. "Where are we going?"
He takes a deep breath before answering. "The hospital. We're going to the hospital."
His answer shock me. "What? Why?" My lower lip starts to tremble.
He stops at a red light and looks at me. "There's been an accident."
My hands fly to my mouth when he continues and tears fill me eyes, spilling over.
"Grayson's in a coma."
