The Bad Boy I Once Knew | G. D.

Chapter 32

Adriana's POV

"How are you feeling?" Julia asked me, sitting on the edge of my bed. I told her exactly what happened after she had came home from work, and she felt so upset about it. She did take me out later that night on my birthday to cheer me up some more, and it did, but I still thought about the breakup...

It's been a few days after it had happened, and I'm not feeling any better. Grayson and I hadn't talked at all, but Julia, Nate, and Ethan had been checking on me which is nice of them to do. But I've been crying over and over, and I don't think it'll ever stop... I try to, but since Grayson's constantly on my mind, I don't think it will.

"Julia, you've asked me this question for days," I told her, trying to wipe away my tears. "I think you'd know how I feel by now."

"I just wanna check up on you, see how you are," she replied. "But today, we're doing something."

"Nope, not with me," I simply said, trying to hide the fact that I was sobbing. I then felt her get off my bed, and suddenly, I felt the sheets rip off of me.

"Julia, what the heck!" I said almost yelling, trying to grab the sheets from her.

"No!" she told me, jerking the sheets away from me. "You're coming with me and Nate out to lunch."

"Why?" I asked her. "Why can't I just stay home and cry all day. Actually, just cry for the rest of my life about it."

"Adriana, you need to get out and do something," she added. "We don't want you to get sick from staying inside." I just looked at her, and didn't say anything. "Please? We'll get you food."

"I'm not in the mood for food," I told her, turning around.

"Just please come out and hang with us," she pleaded. "We miss you." I sat there, thinking for a minute. She's right how I might get sick from staying inside all day, but I don't have any ability to move since then. All I wanna do is just lay in bed crying all day. But it will shut her up and leave me alone if I say yes. "Fine," I told her, groaning.

"Yay!" she squealed and clapped her hands. I laughed a little bit to myself cause she reminded me of London from the suite life of Zack and Cody. "See? We're cheering you up one step at a time," she smirked, and I gave her a small smile. "I'll leave you to get ready," she finished, leaving my room.

I did as she said, and I headed for my closet to find something to wear. I just randomly picked out something, and put on shorts, a cute top, a light jacket, and some vans. I then went into the bathroom to tame my horrible bed head over the past days, and I just put my hair in a quick braid. I then cleaned up my face, and added some mascara to my eyes. I then finished adding extra perfume to myself, and I grabbed my phone before heading out. "Let's go!" Julia said once I came out of my room.

She then dragged me out of our apartment, and outside to Nate's car before I could even say a word. Nate looked a bit surprised to see me, and I wouldn't blame him cause I look like a total complete mess ever since the breakup. But he did greet me as I came in, and we had a short conversation since I wasn't really in the mood for socializing.

Nate soon drove away, and I wasn't really engaged in him and Julia's conversation since I didn't feel like talking to anyone, all I wanted to do right now was cry... It seems so stupid for wanting to do that cause Grayson broke up with me, but I can't help it. I miss him so much, and it's way worse than before since we're not even together any more...

Before you knew it, we had pulled up to a small diner. We all got out, and Julia and Nate started heading for the entrance while I just lugged behind them not wanting to be here. A hostess had brought us to a table once we went inside. We sat in a booth with me on one side, and Nate and Julia across from me. How much third wheeling this will be...
