Grayson's POV
After moving Adelaide to a place where most people can't find her I ran back home and quickly went inside.
"Good morning baby." Scarlette smiled as she happily walked down the stairs. I looked down at my hands and realized her moms blood was still on there.
"Good morning babe. I'm going to go use the bathroom then I'll come back and make us some breakfast." I smiled before running quickly to the upstairs bathroom.
"So what do we have to make?" I asked running back down the stairs and into the kitchen where Scarlette was.
"Well nothing really. When my mom comes home I guess I will ask her to go get groceries from the store. You didn't happen to see where she went did you?" she asked and I tried not to spill everything that happened because I knew she wouldn't be able to take it.
"Uh no I didn't." I lied rubbing my thumbs together.
"You're nervous aren't you? What's up?" Scarlette asked walking closer to me and grabbing my hands.
"How did you know that I was nervous?" I asked keeping my eyes locked on our hands.
"Because you twiddle your thumbs every time you're nervous. It's kind of cute." she smiled biting her lip.
"Aww that's sweet." I giggled as I moved one of my hands to her hair. "But I'm fine. I'm just having a weird morning that's all." I smiled so she would take me seriously.
"Are you sure?" she asked giving her lip a small bite.
"Very." I smiled moving my lips down to hers. I pulled her up onto my waist then set her down on the counter.
"Not now." she giggled pushing me away by the shoulders.
"Mmm why?" I groaned pouting out my lip.
"Because my mom could come home any minute and catch us." she smiled and I rolled my eyes mostly at myself.
"Fine." I replied trying not to seem nervous.
"I'm going to go hop in the shower." Scarlette smiled placing a quick kiss on my cheek then running up the stairs.
"Aye my butt is private property!" I yelled after I felt her hand lightly hit my butt.
"Not anymore!" she yelled in return with a giggle. "I love you." she said and I couldn't help but smile in return.
"I love you too." I answered followed by a lip bite. I decided that I should make Scarlette breakfast and I was hungry so I quickly slipped out of the house and went to the store.
"Oh sorry." a stern voice said after bumping into me.
"Nah it's cool." I replied and the person turned around quickly.
"GRAYSON?!" Ethan yelled and I turned him around quickly and pushed him into the glass.
"NOT SO LOUD WILL YOU?" I whisper yelled and he put his hands up in surrender.
"Where have you been?" he asked fixing the part of his shirt that I grabbed.
"Um with a friend." I smiled at the thought of staying with Scarlette.
"Scarlette?" he asked followed by a giggle. "She isn't Voldemort. You can say her name around me." Ethan laughed.
"I know that, I just wasn't sure how well you two were." I smiled at his little defense.
"Well when I last saw her we were okay with each other so." Ethan replied with a shrug.
"Fine it's just awkward." I said wrapping my arm around his shoulder.
"Okay?" he replied with a questioning attitude. "So where have you two been staying?" he asked and I took a big gulp.
"Uh we, um, we've been staying at, uh, her m- mo-" I tried to say but the words just stopped at the tip of my tongue.
"Her mom?" Ethan asked and I nodded my head quickly. "Now why can't you say her name? Wait wasn't she dead?" Ethan asked scrunching his eyebrows.
"Um we figure out she wasn't actually dead. Also because we aren't exactly staying with her anymore." I said and Ethan stopped with a confused expression.
"But you just said you were staying at her mom's house." Ethan responded and I looked at the ceiling shaking my head.
"We are just not with her mom, there." I furrowed my eyebrows hoping that that made sense.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Ethan asked with a small laugh.
"I have to tell you something and you can't tell anyone promise?" I asked looking around to make sure no one was listening.
"Yeah sure." Ethan answered and I just shook my head.
"No. Promise?" I asked once again.
"Yes I promise I won't." Ethan said and I nodded my head in agreement.
"Mr. Cassidy shot Scarlette's mom." I gulped.
Scarlette's POV
When I got out of the shower I was completely alone. Grayson wasn't home and my mom wasn't home which felt kind of weird.
"Hey Scar I'm back!" a voice yelled from downstairs.
"Mom?" I asked running out of my room.
"No sorry it's me." Grayson replied with a soft smile.
"Oh that's fine. Have you seen my mom at all?" I asked hoping I would get an answer other than no.
"No, sorry." He answered simply and I just rolled my eyes before walking downstairs.
"You know what I'm just going to call her. It's not like her to just go away without a reason." I said partially to myself and partially to Grayson.
"Wait no Scarlette!" Grayson said before I heard my moms ringtone from the table.
"ITS YOUR FAVROURITE CALLING YOU BETTER ANSWER. IM GOING TO HIT YOU WITH A SPOON IF YOU - Scarlette what are you doing? Um nothing mom." The ringtone called and I just stood staring blankly at the phone.
"Grayson what are you not telling me?" I asked closing my phone and setting it down on the couch. He walked out of the kitchen and grabbed me, hugging as tight as possible.
"I'm so sorry." He replied and I let some tears fall even though I didn't really understand why.
"GRAYSON WHY ARE YOU SAYING SORRY?!" I screamed begging for an answer.
"She's dead."
