Never Enough

fourteen.

Mia.

Ethan and I made our way out the door of the apartment and out to the car.

We are going out to eat with Maddi and Alex tonight at some place down by the beach to catch up on the past week. Maddi and I haven't seen eachother once this entire time I've been staying with Ethan and Grayson.

This is because everyone freaking time I ask her to hangout, she's with Alex. I've asked her multiple times if they were seeing eachother and she always responds with the same dumb ass excuse, "we're just friends, Mia".

Friends my ass.

I saw the way she looked at him the first day we watched him perform at the grove. Her eyes sparkled and she seemed to melt into the blanket sprawled out beneath her.

So I don't believe the whole "just friends" bull. I guess I was just a little upset she didn't make anytime this week to try and see me. If they really were just friends, I could already see what kind of friend she'd be to me if they were actually dating. She would never have time for me, and that scared me. I needed my best friend, even tho she pisses me off all the time...

Ethan and I have gotten really close these past couple of days since Grayson was out of the picture. After waking up Wednesday morning in Grayson's bed, I promised myself not to let myself cave into his little game anymore.

I wasn't looking to get hurt again, so it's best if I just keep my distance from him.

Just as we made it down to the car, I stopped in my tracks and groaned bringing my hand up to my forehead.

"What is it?" Ethan asked unlocking the car door and swinging it open.

"I forgot my phone, I'll be right back" I said sighing and dragging my feet back in the direction we came from.

The door was unlocked so I walked right in and padded my feet down the hallway.

It didn't occur to me till now that I was alone in the apartment with Grayson for the first time since I've been here.

please stay in your room, please stay in your room, ple-

"Oh-," Grayson walked out of his room. "uh, hey" he scratched the back of his neck and stood in front of me.

I stayed silent, looking past him at Ethan's bedroom door. All I had to do was walk past him, grab my phone that was laying on the bed and walk out.

"Mia, please talk to me," Grayson breathed out. His eyes were squinted as if he were in pain. "Look, I'm sorry"

"Grayson, I don't have time for this. I just came back to get my phone and then leave" I said with no emotion what's so ever.

His face dropped even more and he stepped closer to me, trying to decrease the space between us. I was quick to avoid though as I took a step back and around him towards Ethan's room.

I saw the hurt in his eyes but I know for a fact it wasn't even close to what he made me feel.

I wanted to not feel horrible for treating him like this because he does deserve it, but I couldn't help but feel a pang in my heart when I saw the look on his face when I rejected him.

I grabbed my phone and shook my head. This boy is screwing with more than just my emotions. Whenever I looked at him, I could feel my skin start to tingle in all the previous places he's ever touched me, and my heart beat so fast that it physically hurt.
