Nothing Like Us | Grayson Dolan

Thirty

We got to our hotel in San Francisco. It was one in the morning when he got there so we went straight to bed. I wasn't able to sleep knowing that tomorrow I was going to be face to face with my parents. But I tried my best to push it to the back of my mind and sleep.

I threw a casual dress on with my high top converse. I went to the bathroom to get my makeup ready and brush my teeth when Grayson called for me. I walked back to the room to see him dressed in a striped white and red shirt and tan skinny jeans on.

"Ari, is this good?" Grayson asked and my smile grew so wide he looked so cute when he was nervous and he looked so cute in the outfit.

"Perfect" I told him before wrapping my arms around him and looking up at him. I pecked his lips and kept my arms wrapped around his waist as Grayson's arms were around my shoulders. I couldn't stop staring at him, admiring him.

"Grayson." I said and he just lightly hummed.

"I love you." I said those three words that I never thought I would say. But I felt this and it felt so right.

"What?!" Grayson asked super excited

"I love you" I told him smiling and his smile grew so big he picked me up and spun me around.

"I love you" Grayson said before kissing me and I let out a laugh before kissing him.

"Can you say it again?" Grayson asked super excited

"I love you Gray" I told him before kissing him.

"I love you" he told me before kissing me back.

We were so caught up in the moment until we heard Grayson's alarm go off. My heart fell into my stomach.

"We gotta go" Grayson told me and I took a deep breath and nodded.

We got into the car and the whole time I felt sick. I wanted to back out, I didn't want to see them. But I just needed answers, I'm not looking to rekindle a lost relationship with my parents. They didn't care to have one with me so why should I?

"Babe?" Grayson said, apparently he had called my name a few times I was just so tuned out.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Grayson asked and I nodded my head. He took my hand, intertwining our fingers.

We pulled up to the house, we saw a Mercedes and Range Rover parked outside. I scoffed because they're living this nice life out here that Alex and I don't even know about. 

"Are you ready babe?" Grayson asked and I nodded, getting out of the car. Grayson stood by his door holding his hand out for me to hold as we walked to the door.

Grayson knocked and we waited for someone to answer. I saw the door start to open and I wanted to throw up. There he was, my dad.
