Broken Angel || g.d

four

When I got to Grayson's house I rang the doorbell. I prayed to God he would answer.

After waiting for a little bit, he finally opened the door. As soon as he saw me his expression changed from tired to worried.

"What happened??" He asked grabbing my arm and pulling me inside.

I didn't say anything. I just started crying. He pulled me into a hug.

"Let's go upstairs and you can sleep here tonight okay?"

I nodded and he grabbed my hand and we went to his room. He went and got me an ice pack and then he took out a t-shirt and sweatpants and handed them to me. I looked down.

"You don't have to do this for me, I could have just came in and slept on the couch."

"You could have, but I wouldn't let that
happen." He said giving me a small smile.

I nodded and stood up. He turned around covering his eyes so I could change. After I changed I sat down on his bed.

"Should I sleep on the couch?" He asked. I shook my head and moved over on his bed. He smiled and came and laid next to me.

"So..what happened?"

I sighed. I was hoping he wouldn't ask that question, but he deserved to know for all that he's doing for me.

"My boyfriend..well he got drunk and hit me"

Grayson sat up.

"What? Does he do that a lot??"

I looked down and nodded.

"Ella why wouldn't you tell anyone?"

"Because nobody cares. My mom and dad are to busy with their own problems, and Matt does way to much for me already. I don't want to burden him with anything else, and the same for Hannah."

"What about me?? And Ethan?" He asked raising his voice a little.

I knew he wouldn't do anything to hurt me but after tonight with Matt, it kind of scared me. I scooted away from him a little and then his face softened.

"Oh my gosh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get loud. I just don't like seeing you hurt, and I wish you would have told me about this before." He apologized.

I nodded pulling the covers over me. He laid back down next to me.

"I'm sorry I just want today to be over" I said quietly.

He moved a little bit closer to me but I didn't think anything of it.

"I know I'm sorry, goodnight" he whispered.

"Night."

And with that we both fell asleep.

-

The next morning I woke up and Grayson was gone. I went downstairs to find him but all I found was Ethan watching tv.

"Where's Gray?" I asked him.

"He said he needed to take care of some business. He said don't worry about him."

My eyes widened. I didn't know what he was doing, but I'm pretty sure it had to do with last night.

I went back to Graysons room and got my phone. I called him and he didn't pick up. Great. I tried calling him a few more times and he still didn't answer. I sighed sitting on his bed. I didn't want anything to happen to him, especially because of me.

My thoughts were interrupted by my phone ringing. I quickly answered it.

"Gray??"

"Hey. I'm okay, don't worry. Just a little bruised up, but he got what he deserved." He said his voice sounding tired.

I sighed, kind of relieved but I was still worried. After we hung up I waited for him to get home.

When he walked in I felt a frown form on my face. He looked awful. He had a bloody nose and his knuckles were all busted up.

"Grayson.."

"No don't. I know you're gonna tell me I shouldn't have done it and all that but I don't regret it. He deserved it"

"But gray-" he interrupted me.

"Nope, don't say it."

I sighed feeling defeated. I obviously wasn't going to win this.

"Well let's go get you cleaned up." I said. Pulling him into the bathroom.

He smiled a little and I frowned back at him.

"Don't be so sad, I just kicked your douchebag boyfriends ass."

I shook my head and looked down. "But you got hurt."

"Hey look at me" he said lifting my chin up.

"It's not your fault, and it's okay. He deserved what he got, and I'm not dead, so its all okay."

After I helped him clean up, we hung out all day. I decided to sleep over again because I didn't want Matt to see any of the injuries that I got. I told him that I was at Hannah's house, because I wanted to avoid questions he would ask about spending the night with Grayson.

Nothing was going on between us but any other person would definitely think that, and I didn't want anyone to think so. Well actually I wouldn't mind if someone thought that..

Wait no, I have no feelings toward him, at all.
