one,

Throughout Highschool I never had boyfriends. Aubrey Evans was always the girl who waited for the most popular boy in school, thinking that them being together was fate. It wasn't. I've had boys ask me out but I never wanted to make a commitment with someone other than him, to afraid of getting hurt. Until now of course.

College was treating me good. I grew up not to shabby, had a few close friends and an amazing boyfriend. Again, until now of course.

Locke was my second, and I thought he'd be my last. We were you typical college romance, staying at each others dorms overnight, attending frat parties together and never leaving each others side. Until now of course.

This was my first serious breakup and let's just say, it hurt like hell. I've heard all of the stories and watched all of the movies about heartbreak and I had no utter clue that it was reality.

As I sat in my dark car, driving who knows where, I let the tears fall freely down my face, not bothering to wipe them away. The radio played 'Talking to the Moon by Bruno Mars' softy in the background, which didn't help at all with my emotional state. I swallowed hard to catch my breath as I continued to sob.

I was a fool, wasn't I? I thought he loved me. He said he love me. People lie, though. Or maybe he did love me but things changed. I kept blaming it all on myself, trying to think of anything I could've done wrong to make him act the way he did.

Just then, hard rain drops started to pour down on my windshield. I didn't turn on my widow wipers, thinking nobody would be out this late. I glanced at the clock which made me even more depressed.

3:07am

It was supposed to be a date night. I'm dressed in a nice white (now tear stained), off the shoulder dress with some burgundy velvet pumps. Locke took me to a cute restaurant and broke it to me there. It was the most cheesy thing someone could say.

"Things just aren't working out"

"It's not you its me"

Complete Bullshit if you ask me.

Suddenly, something appeared in front of my wet windshield and I heard a large thump. I stopped my car as fast as I could and leaned back in my seat in shock. Before getting out of the car, I prayed it wasn't an animal or god forbid, a human.

I breathed heavily in horror as I slammed the door behind me and rain started to fall on my hair and shoulders. Turning the corner, I saw a familiar brunette sit up in the road, rubbing his head in pain.

"Oh my god! Are you o-" I stopped as the boy looked up at me and my mouth parted slightly.

"Grayson?" I furrowed my eyebrows as he looked at me confused.

"Yeah I'm fine." He wobbly stood up. "You know my name?"

I looked at him for a second. My famous high school crush. His hair was blonder with the added highlights and his jaw was more defined.

I swear I'd never think that thing could get any sharper.

"Oh- um, never mind." I gulped, trying I wipe left over tears off of my face. Just as Grayson was about to say something he stepped closer to me and squinted his eyes, getting a clearer look on my face.

"Aubrey Evans." He said in a straight voice with no emotion.

"What-" I say but get cut off.

"Aubrey Evans? We went to high school together. Yeah, I remember." He raised his voice a bit, talking louder over the rain.

"D-Do you want to get inside?" I pointed to my car. Grayson nodded and we both jogged to my vehicle.

As he stepped inside I looked at his wet hair and my stomach grew butterflies at the sight.

"You're sure you're okay?" I turn to him.

"Yeah, fine. I promise" his lower voice speaks. I look at his forehead by his eyebrow and notice a medium sized gash.

"You're bleeding?" I gulp and furrow my eyebrows at him.

He pulls open the car mirror and huffs once he notices his cut.

"Do you mind talking me back to my apartment? It's a pretty far walking distance" Grayson bites his lip.

"Uh, Yeah." I awakard my say and press the gas pedal, starting to drive through the rain.

I can feel Graysons eyes on me and I pretend like I don't notice. He tilts his head to the side.

"Have you been crying?" He quickly asks, concerned.

"Um," I think for a second, trying to come up with a lie. When it's no use I shakily sigh. "Yeah. Yeah I have."

"Why?" He looks at my confused.

"My boyfriend broke up with me tonight" I quietly say, trying not to start crying again. The thing was, I really didn't feel like talking about it right now.

"Is that's why you're dressed li-"

"-yeah" I sharply cut him off and gulp.

"Left here" he says and I listen, turning my steering wheel. We sit in silence for a minute.

"Sorry" Grayson finally cuts in.

"It's fine. It's not your fault" I sniffle.

"What are you doing still in Long Valley?" I furrow my eyebrows and change the subject once I realize that it's been almost two years since we graduated high school and he didn't go to school here anymore.

"Oh, I'm taking a year off College." He says and I nod. "How about you? Why are you here?"

"Oh, I guess I just started to drive. I didn't realize I ended up here. My parents live like two hours away." I admit as we pull up to the parking lot of Grayson's apartment complex.

"You want to come inside?" He raises an eyebrow.

"Oh, it's okay" I chuckle a bit.

"Come on, Ethan's out of town." He insists and I sigh.

"Okay." I softly say as I turn off my car and step out.
