"what the hell happened on that walk?" Lucy said to me as she got in my car,

the time was half 12 and we had all gone out separate ways, Harper got in her car with the others, i got in my car with Lucy and Grayson walked away with his friends. we all said our goodbyes first though.

"we kissed..." i said whist gritting my teeth and waiting for the scream of joy from Lucy

"and..." she said

"it was perfect... but, i don't know... it didn't feel right," i said abruptly. i sat there with my hands on the wheel and looked down at my phone in the side pocket. Grayson texted me

Grayson: x

i replied back

me: I'm sorry...

i knew that i had made a huge mistake with the way i acted after the kiss.

Grayson: don't worry...

"so why did you act like you'd seen a ghost..." she said to me after i read Grayson's text.

"what about Logan..." i said looking at her,

"he's history... you shouldn't worry about the past,"

"its hard not to," i said as i drove out of the car park.

from then onwards i couldn't stop thinking about Grayson and Logan and vice versa. i knew i had to tell him that i had a thing with a boy at home but now wasn't the right time.

"you still like Logan don't you..." she said looking at me.

i nodded and felt a tear run down my face. i was stuck.

once i had dropped lucy off i then went straight home. all i wanted to do was sleep but it was almost impossible. i decided to text grayson to see if he was awake.

me: hey... u up?

grayson: yeah, i can't sleep

me: neither

grayson: im gonna call you...

me: nah, meet me at the beach

grayson: now?

me: yeah...

grayson: ok x

i got up and put on a fleece and some jeans. i got into my car and drove down to the beach were in the distance i saw Grayson sat there on the sand with his knees to his chest. his hair was being blown around by the wind. i walked over to him and sat down. i told him about Logan.

"i like him Grayson..." i said wiping away a tear

"why kiss me then if you still like him?" he said angrily.

"nothings official" i said looking into his eyes.

i had a sudden memory burst.

"wait... your meant to be on a plane to new jersey!" i said shocked

"i cancelled it... were going next weekend instead..." he said uncrossing his arms.

"why? why did you cancel it?" i said confused

"i wanted to stay with you for a bit longer... instead of leaving suddenly," he looked down at the floor and buried his hand in the sand.

"oh" now i felt even worse, "we can still hang out... nothings official" i said

he looked up at me and smiled, i smiled back. i put out my hand to help him up but he ended up pulling me down. the sea looked so nice at night. Grayson put his arm around me and we sat there as i cuddled in. i knew that going back to sixth form at the end of the month was going to kill both of us but it was something i had to do.

i woke up that morning on the beach (yeah, classy) Grayson had put his jacket under my head so i didn't get sand in my eyes. i looked over and saw him still there asleep. i checked my phone in my pocket and noticed that it was 10. i had to go

"Grayson...Grayson! i have to go!" i said shaking him

"what... go where?" he said half asleep.

"work!..." i said as i got up and dusted the sand off of me. i picked up my bag and off i went. i looked back and he shouted my name. he got up quickly and asked if he could go too as he knew his way home from my work. about an hour into my day i got a text from him.

Grayson: thanks for everything x

i replied back with a kiss and a love heart. my day went really smooth. so did the rest of the week in fact.
