His eyes were half-lidded as he stared at her in her bed. Her straight, long and silky blond hair cascaded over the pillows and her back, he couldn't see her face but he remembered what she looked like perfectly.
A pretty, chubby face. Dimples when she smiled, and her eyes, oh her eyes were a gorgeous dark blue that glittered like diamonds. Using his long fingers, the ones piano teachers orgasmed over, he smoothed back her hair, kissing the back of her neck.
"I love you," he whispered, knowing she'd not hear him. Nor would she ever.
Tossing back the covers, he stood up slowly, trying not to jostle the sleeping beauty next to him as he slipped from her bed. Grabbing his boxers off the floor, the boy quickly put them on before doing the same with his pants and shirt. Only finding one sock, he shrugged, his honey brown eyes drifting unconsciously to his Rose.
Flipping his brown hair out of his eyes, Grayson shoved his feet into their corresponding shoes before rushing out of the door, ignoring the knowing look that his best friend, her brother, gave him.

"Hey baby," a chocolate brown haired girl with green eyes smiled as she wrapped herself around Grayson. His full, pink lips smiled but if this girl had bothered to look closely, she would have seen that it didn't reach his eyes. She would have noticed how hollow his eyes looked as he smiled down at her. But Zoey was too blind to notice, only caring that he was with her, not wondering or caring if he was unhappy.
"Hey darlin'.." he spoke in his familar southern drawl that most girls swooned over.
"Ugh, please dont call me that, I hate it when you talk like that," she sneered, burying her face into his chest as his eyes wandered the school parking lot, looking for that familiar blue pick-up truck. It was there, just pulling up to the school right in time for the warning bell to sound, but as his girlfriend and friends moved away from him to head to class, he stayed. His feet were frozen as he watched Rose leave the safety of the vehicle, her dark blue eyes didn't glitter as they usually did and they were surrounded by red skin, slightly swollen. It was easy for anyone to see that she'd been crying.
Grayson knew why.
His gaze moved to the other side of the truck where his best friend had just turned to look at him. Shaking his head in disapproval, Trey looked from Grayson to Rose before looking at the ground and walking inside the school, ignoring his best friend as he went.
"Rose," he muttered, as she tried to walk passed him, ignoring his very presence. She didn't answer, her head lowered and her shoulders hunched as she watched every step she took. "Rose." He spoke louder, moving to keep up with her stride.
"Leave me alone, Grayson."
"Rose, I'm sorry I left you darlin', I had to get ready for school, or else I would have stayed in bed with you all mornin'." Rose jerked her head around, sneering at him as she did so, reminding him uncannily of Zoey.
"You... No you wouldn't have. You have a girlfriend here. You cheated on your girlfriend, and I was just stupid enough to let you. I thought, maybe, if I gave you what you wanted, that you'd leave her and be with me, but no! Instead you sneak out of my room while I'm still asleep and run back to your girlfriend. I dont want anything more to do with you Grayson!"
