It was the day when Grayson came to visit again for the third time. He needs more for his documentary and needs to talk to someone here. I wonder who?

The door opened and Grayson walking in with a smile on his gorgeous face.

"Hey, Tay," he said and I giggled.

"Hey, Gray," I said back and he chuckled. He sat down next to me at the window and looked outside.

"It's a beautiful day," he said and I nodded. I turned to him and grabbed the camera. I turned it on quickly and pointed it at both of us.

"So Gray, what has been your favorite part of being here?" I asked. I was starting to have feelings for him. Feelings I couldn't explain.

"Seeing you," he said and nudged me with his shoulder. We laughed together and I loved the sound. It was so amazing to be with Grayson. He was helping me recover fast, the doctor said I might be released soon!

"Thanks," I said and he kissed my forehead. I sighed and asked another question.

"Do you know anyone else who has been bullied?" He looked down at me and looked deep in thought. He nodded and I felt his hand hold mine. His fingers ran over the scars, making me sad.

"My cousin, Lilah, was bullied. She cut a few times but burn herself more. She was sent to a hospital like this except, it wasn't for a long time. She was released 3 years ago," he finished and I gave him a smile.

"Do you love her?" I asked and he nodded.

"Of course, she is my cousin, she's family," he said and I nodded.

The rest of the day was us spent in the lounge area playing board games and watching videos on Grayson's phone. We took a bunch of selfies and soon he had to leave.

"Bye, Taylor," he said and gave me a kiss on my cheek.

"Bye, Grayson," I said and watched him waking out of the building. I made my way to the offices where I was having a meeting. I opened the door and saw my doctor and a woman who looked familiar.

"Hello, Taylor," Doctor Banks said. I waved and sat down on the couch across from them.

"Today, we are gonna give you a pass so you can go outside," the woman said. A smile spread to my face.

"What? How?" I asked and they chuckled.

"That boy, Grayson? He promised to look after you and told us about the documentary," Doctor Banks said and looked over a piece of paper. "And you have been doing so much better since Grayson came."

I couldn't believe it! I could finally go out of this place, Grayson made that possible.

"Thank you!" I jumped up and hugged both of them. They were a little hesitant because I hated being touched and stuff but now I was happy.

I got some papers signed and saw the neat cursive signature in the guardian box.

Grayson Black.

I smiled to myself and put my signature underneath. I gave them one last hug before I ran out of the room and up to mine. I sat down at the window seat and watched the sunset. It was a beautiful scene at this time of day. The dark clouds were still rolling in, but it made me smile still. I heard a quiet knock and saw Mrs. Lardy come into the room.

"Hello, dear," she said and I looked at her kind eyes. "Did you meet my grandson?" She asked and I nodded, my smile gone. I didn't like him, he was weird.

"Yes," I said and turned back to the view.

"He said you were pretty and wants to take you out sometime," she said and I chuckled lowly.

"Well, tell him I said no," I said and the look on her face was so sad.

"Give him a chance," she said and I chuckled again.

"I'm sorry, but my guardian, Grayson Black, is the only one allowed to take me out anywhere," I said and her eyes looked so broken.

"Grayson Black? You mean the one who started this all?" She spoke after a small break of silence.

"Yup, that very one," I said and smiled, nodding my head as she nodded and walked out of the room. "That very one." I repeated quietly.
