This is what I was afraid of. I was afraid that the only person I love would be taken away from me. Not only that, but by my own sister, who in fact has a boyfriend. I love Grayson, but when those words left his mouth I could hear my heart breaking. I know he won't ever like me back, but it would be nice if I actually had a chance. This happens every time. Every time he likes a different girl, I just sit back and cry in a corner. I want this time to be different. I know it won't though.
"What?" I ask.
"I like Reagan." He says.
"Are you sure?" I ask, trying to hold back my tears.
"Yes, I'm sure. Why are you asking me so many questions? I thought that you, out of all people would be supportive." He says.
"I am." My voice cracks.
"What's wrong with you?" He asks.
"Nothing. I just need to go home. The pizza is making me feel sick." I say.
"Toby, we eat here all the time." He says.
"I guess it's different now." I say.
"Well, do you want me to drive you?" He asks.
"No. I can walk home. Its not that far." I say.
I walk out of the arcade, with the salty tears running down my face. I walk through crowds of people, just trying to get away from all of my problems. I let my feet cary me all the way to the grocery store. I walk into the superstore and walk straight to the frozen items isle. My hand goes to the freezer that has the ice cream.
I open the freezer and the cold icy air hits my stained cheeks. I grab three cartons of raspberry cheesecake gelato.(the best thing ever) I go to check out. I walk to the register and see the cashier. I place my items on the conveyer belt, and the cashier scans the barcode.
"That'll be 13.62." He says.
I feel my pockets to get out my money, but there's nothing there. I search in my purse, and I only have three dollars and fifteen cents. I look up at the cashier and he smiles, while waiting patiently for me to pay.
"I'm sorry, but I don't have any money to pay, I'll just put them back." I say.
My voice is still a little raspy, from all the crying.
"Well, how about this. You give me your number and a smile and I won't charge you." He says.
"What?" I ask.
"You're a really pretty girl,who doesn't need to be crying. So, if you give me your number I'll guarantee that you'll smile. My name is Zachary, by the way." He says.
I think for a little. He is really nice and cute, and his proposal seems promising. I do need to get over Grayson, maybe this is the start of my moving on process. I hold out my hand,asking for his phone. He hands it to me, and I put my number in. I hand his phone back to him,and he smiles. He bags my gelato and I start to walk away, but I turn around.
"My name is Toby,by the way." I say.
He smiles and I walk home.

(That's Zach)
****
I've been texting Zach, ever since he got off of work and I really like him. I found out that he's a senior at my school, which is shocking because I've never seen him before. I guess Grayson was always my main focus. Zach is the captain of the robotics team. He's not typically what I look for in a guy, but maybe I need something new. I continue laughing at the conversation that Zach and I are having, but my bedroom door opens. I see Grayson. He looks angry, and I already know that he's in a bad mood. my smile fades away, now I have blank expression on my face.
"Why weren't you answering your phone? I called you like twenty times." He scolds.
"I was doing something." I say.
"I tell you that I like Reagan, and you don't answer my calls because "you were doing something"." He says.
"Believe it or not, my whole world doesn't revolve around you." I say.
"I didn't say it did. Why are you being so hostile Toby?" He asks.
"I'm not being hostile. I just don't want to be apart of you and Reagan's rendezvous." I say.
"You don't have to be. I know what your priorities are now." He says.
"Are you kidding me? I put myself last for you every single day for the past fourteen years,and you say that? Do you have any idea of all of the pain, hurt, and embarrassment I've gone through for you? I'm glad this happened, because I know where your priorities are. If you want to be with Reagan,fine. I'm done waiting for you,Grayson. Please leave." I say.
"Toby I-" He starts.
"I said go." I say.
He nods his head and walks out of my room. I sit in my bed and put my head in between my knees. Dealing with Grayson is so stressful. I lay down in my bed, and Zach texts me, but all I can think about is Gray.
I wonder what life would be like if I hadn't met him in 2003.
