Grayson's POV
Scarlette pulled us into a field as we continued to run as fast as possible. It was getting hard to breathe and everything was starting to go black so I stopped.
"Grayson what are you doing? We have to go now!" she ordered trying to get me up but I stood my ground.
"Scarlette please let me catch my breath. Why are we running from him?" I asked holding my hand to my chest.
"It's a long story that I can't explain until we get back to the house. Grayson please can we go now?" she asked looking around nervously.
"Scarlette," I started before she pulled me up and started running. I turned my head to see what she was scared of and I saw police cars and their bright lights shining everywhere.
"Fuck Scarlette jump!" I yelled standing in front of her for her to get on my back.
"Okay now go!" she yelled softly and I ran in every direction she told me to go in. We finally made it to the house that she said was her mom's and we ran inside.
"Hi sweetie, what's wrong?" Adelaide asked getting up from the couch.
"We are going to the basement. If anyone comes don't say we are here!" Scarlette ordered before taking my hand once again and pulling me down to the basement.
"Explain everything. Now." I whispered and she let out a sigh.
"Before I left I got a call from Amber, Toby and Alex on Carson's phone. They said that they had proof that us two hooked up and if I didn't stop talking to you all together they would show Carson. I was scared for your safety so I ran off. I didn't want to see anyone for a while unless it was just us two so I went to the airport with my bags and I was going to leave for California until I heard my name. When I turned around it was my mom, Adelaide, so I talked to her for a bit and we decided that I could stay at her house and I've been living here since then. Trust me it's been no paradise since I have left." she replied and I couldn't help but feel bad.
"So why is Carson mad?" I asked once again just so I could have all the information now instead of later.
"He claims that he was shown a video of you raping me. He said he was going to go in there and teach you a lesson so I texted you to run so you wouldn't get hurt." she answered and my stomach started doing back flips.
"I never raped you!" I argued even though she wasn't arguing with me.
"I know you didn't Grayson that's just what he claims he saw!" she argued in response, more out of confusion.
"Scarlette the cops stopped by asking if I had seen you. You aren't in trouble are you?" Adelaide asked walking down into the basement where Scarlette and I were.
"No ma'am they aren't after her. A few people around town called for a search party to try and find her and the cops are still trying to find her. I'm guessing when she came back the police were contacted." I answered for Scarlette.
"Let me guess you're this Grayson that I have heard so much about?" Adelaide asked with a smile.
"Yes I am." I answered proudly.
"Be good to her okay?" she asked raising her eyebrow.
"Yes ma'am." I replied with a smile. Adelaide walked back upstairs and shut the door to leave us in peace.
"Forget everything for now." I said walking closer to Scarlette.
"You don't want to ask any more questions?" Scarlette asked.
"No not now." I whispered over her lips.
I connected our lips and she automatically jumped up and wrapped her legs around my hips. I carried us over to the couch that was sitting in the basement. I grinded against her body which made her let out some soft moans. I took off both of our shirts and started kissing all over her chest. I moved my head up to her ear then started moving down her arms until it didn't taste like her expensive perfume. I scrunched my eyebrows together then pulled my head back a little and she quickly hid her arms.
"Scarlette what was that?" I asked nervously.
"It's nothing." she answered simply.
"Scarlette." I whispered taking her arm from under her body and I saw something I would never expect to see on her. Her beautiful skin was now damaged and a deep red. I let a single tear drop over them before standing up. "Why?" I asked but I was too scared and upset to hear an explanation.
"Grayson please!" she begged but I just ran out of the stairs and into her bathroom where I sat and cried.
"Where did Grayson go?" I heard Scarlette ask from downstairs.
"I just saw him run up to the bathroom." her mom answered. I heard footsteps running up the stairs and getting slower as they approached the door.
"Grayson please don't run from me." Scarlette begged as she shut the door behind her and sat in front of me.
"Why would you do that to yourself?" I asked in my knees.
"I was scared and I was so sad with everything that happened. I thought you were going to get hurt and I couldn't take it." she answered and I lifted my head up.
"Do not ever hurt yourself or put yourself in a position to get hurt because of me! I am not worth that Scarlette!" I argued and she looked at me with a confused expression.
"What do you mean you're not worth it? Grayson I may not have shown it for a very long time but you mean everything to me! I will do anything at this point to show that. I'm tired of hiding my feelings because someone doesn't like the fact that someone likes their crush. You are worth everything to me Grayson." I finished since he didn't seem to want to talk anymore.

"Why are you still up mom?" I asked rubbing my eyes since it was dark in the room and bright in the living room.
"I could ask you the same thing. It's 4 in the morning sweetie." my mom said with a smile.
"I just wasn't really able to sleep." I answered honestly.
"Is it because of Grayson?" she asked turning off the tv and walking over to the stairs where I was.
"Yeah he figured out about something and then I told him that he meant everything to me and that he is worth it but I didn't get a response. I don't think it's because he doesn't feel the same way though. I think it's just because he is really upset about what all happened." I backed myself up.
"Sweetie you're going to have to get used to him getting upset because you're hurt or someone wants to hurt you. I'm going to tell you the same thing my mom told me, anything worth having isn't easy. You just have to talk to him bit by bit and everything will be better if he feels the same way. You are both going through a lot so it's going to be hard." my mom said rubbing my shoulder.
"I love you." I smiled before giving her a big hug and walking back upstairs to my room.
