Grayson and I |Grayson Dolan|

19: that's that

Over the next few weeks I went to school as usual and called Grayson every chance I could get especially since there was a 10 hour time difference from England to la, we tried to make every minute count by pretty much falling asleep whilst video chatting or calling. Logan was in a few of the calls being an idiot since he never seemed to leave my house after school. I didn't want to kick him out because sometimes he was well behaved and didn't try to annoy me too much.

"Logan!" I screamed as he swerved in and out of the cars, "slow down!" I said holding onto the dashboard.

"What... I'm only going 70," he said as he pointed at the dashboard showing the speed. He was currently driving me to Emily's house to go shopping and he was driving like a maniac in his new car which he had only owned for around a week and insisted on driving me and Emily shopping.

Once we arrived at her house she looked really surprised by the fact that he was in the drivers seat and by the fact that I wasn't wearing a helmet for safety, her comment made him annoyed and he didn't talk to her for the rest of the journey.

"come on guys, lighten up!" i said as the two of them slumped.

"well, if SHE hadn't made me annoyed then i wouldn't be like this..." Logan snapped back,

"but she was only joking," i said defending Emily.

"whatever," he muttered before wandering off to the food court.

"what are you gonna do A, he still likes you..." Emily said out of nowhere,

"shut up!" i said denying it, "i have Grayson...".

"oh yeah... Grayson," she said exhaling with lust which made me laugh.

"shall we join the walking tantrum over there for food?" she asked me,

"yes we shall," i replied with as we made our way over to the table he was sitting at waiting for his food.

"did you already order?" i asked him, he nodded and said that he ordered 3 chicken wraps to make life easier and so we could get on with shopping. i didn't even invite him but it would be rude not to let him join in on our shopping spree. He seems to hijack lots of my events and activities.

by the end of the day i had only made one purchase. a present for when i go back to see Grayson, as well as the jumper i had forgotten to give him in new York. i hadn't called him the whole day as i knew he was going to be asleep, he told me that he usually sleeps for about 14 hours which i was honestly amazed at.

"did you have a good day?" Logan asked as i opened the car door and made my way out,

"yeah, thanks for taking us and I'm glad you've made up with Emily," i said the end part in a soppy tone to annoy him,

"yeah yeah... I still dont like her," he said brushing it off,

"whatever," i said teasingly which was also to annoy him.

i shut the car door and heard the engine rev as he drove out of the driveway and past my mums Mercedes which she cherished with all of her heart. i opened my front door and came in to be greeted by my dad who was leaning against the kitchen counter, "hello?" i said as i walked in confused.

"hello," he said back.

me and my father had always had a great relationship but when he moved away to France, i didnt see too much of him.

"your mum said that you had been back for three weeks, why didnt you tell me?" he asked as i set my bag on the table and leaned against it.

"well... because you have been away for 3 months in a different country with some dippy blonde," i said snapping back,

"hey!" he said loudly, "she's not dippy and she's my age... you make it sound like she's too young for me," he said defending her.

"oh whatever... you live with her and her kids and you haven't bothered to call so why should i tell you when I'm back or not," i stated as i walked over to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water. the two of us spoke about her for a bit and then he turned his attention to why i was back,

"i already said... i have to come back to complete some school stuff... then I'm going again in a few days," i said as i looked at the floor,

"a few days?!" he bellowed, "yeah... and i dont want to see my stupid step-mum, or you for that matter... so please leave," i said signalling to the door,

"no... i am not going any where." he said standing his ground.

"well at least let me leave you then," i said as i headed up stairs slowly,

"wait!" he stopped me.

"what now... i have school work and -"

he cut me off, "i got you a present... for your birthday," he handed me a white box that i could tell was not his wrapping because it was neatly tied with a silver bow.

"i dont want it," i said looking at his outstretched hand what cupped a box.

"please..." he pleaded.

"ugh... fine," i took the box gently from his grasp and began to unwrap the ribbon and then lift the lid off of the box. inside of the box was a photo of me and him as well as my brother in frame. along the bottom of the frame there was a plaque that said 'forever' on it and i may or may not have shed a few tears. i hugged my dad and thanked him. suddenly i felt at ease with everything and i apologised for not telling him i was home and for not telling him that i left for LA in the first place.

after about half an hour of catching up and talking, my mum walked through the front door with a package,

"where had you been... your car is outside," i said curiously,

"oh... i walked to the post office, i had to pick up this parcel that i think has my order from online in it. i turned back around to my dad as my mum made her way upstairs after addressing the fact that my father was here.

"when is your flight back?" i asked him out of the blue,

"oh, its tomorrow..." he said hesitantly.

"so i won't see you for another 2 months then," i said looking down at my cup of tea which i was tracing with my finger.

"yeah... when do you go back?" he asked unalarmed by the fact that we weren't going to see each other for a while.

"3 days time, I've got my bags packed... i can't wait to see Grayson though," i said with a smile on my face.

"Grayson? is that your boyfriend?" he asked turning protective.

"yes... we have been dating since i went to New York, i met him in LA though and thats that," i said not drawing too much attention to the subject.

"well, I'm gonna need to meet this boy," he said sitting up sternly,

"and scare him like you did with Logan? not likely..." i said sipping my tea.

"i won't this time, i promise," i didnt know wether to trust him but i told him that if Grayson ever came to England then he would meet him, only if he could manage to make the journey here in the first place.
