Here I was sitting at the lunch table a day before my surgery was suppose to take place. I am not able to eat for twenty-four hours but it's not like I could eat anything anyways.

"Oh my gosh Becca stop chewing that pencil before it snaps in half" Ashton laughs. I look around the group as I was seated beside Ashley and Grayson.

We had recently hung around Grayson and his friends lately. I mean Kyle and Nathan are one of Grayson's best friends but his other best friends is Noah and Ashton, and that means at lunch it's the five boys and us three girls, which doesn't help at all.

"Sorry" I mutter looking back down at my How To Kill A Mockingbird essay.

"Is this about tomorrow?" Kalyn questions from across me,where she sat beside Nathan.

"Yea maybe who knows" I ramble shrugging. Everyone sighs.

A hand was placed on my left shoulder "no need to worry, I'm sure everything will go well" Ashley comforts me, I nod.

"And once your out of surgery and awake will be back from the finals against Josh's school with a win, and you can celebrate once your back on your feet" Noah also comments. He was also a member of the football team.

"Oh my gosh I totally forgot about finals tomorrow" I say looking up at Grayson who was slipping his phone into his back pocket.

"Finals is the least of your worries,you should worry about getting your ankle fully recovered" Grayson looks down at me his green eyes matching mine.

His 6'3 figure isn't that tall from my 5'5 figure but he still has to look down at me if I wasn't wearing wedges or heels. And I obviously have to look up at him.

"Grayson just don't do anything you'll regret" he waves me off.

"Ya well if him and one of his friends come after any of us, I'll do something I will regret even more. Especially if he talks about you" The whole table becomes quiet, in shock Grayson had actually said.

"okay just don't end up in the hospital" I say almost awkwardly, he nods.

I was currently seated in Grayson's Ford truck in the passenger on the way to collect our siblings. Since I'm not so cable of driving Grayson agreed since he lives a couple blocks away from me.

"I'm serious about what I said at lunch, don't do something you'll regret" I break the silence.

He glances between me and the road "being protective over you and my friends is not something I'll ever regret in my entire life"

We pull up to the schools pick up round and Grayson cuts the engine as we wait for the kids to get out, since we get out earlier then they do.

"I know just don't get beaten up to bad" I say leaning my arm against the window and running my hand through my hair.

Grayson was silent and we both immediately reach for the radio, and his warm hand collides with my cold hand. I freeze not knowing what to do.

Grayson catches my hand intwining his and mine. He leans forward making my attention on him "Bec I'm not regretting any of this" his eyes slowly lower to our hands and I can't help but follow.

I couldn't help but notice how warm his hands were to my cold ones, or how close our faces were that I could smell his Axe, and it smells so good on him.Or how close enough that I can see a hint of worry and exhaustion in his eyes, and how sharp his jaw his.
