Chapter Ten Waiting For You<3 A Greyson Chance and Cody Simpson Love Story

Chapter Ten

Greyson stands there mouth gaping open and I read his facial expressions as one thing, disbelief. As if this wasn't bad enough my best friend enters the room. The first thing she lays eyes on is my legs wrapped around Cody and his hands around my neck. Instantly I unravel my legs from his waist.

"Gisela I-" Cody begins. She does the unexpected and walks up to Cody and full on slaps him in the face. All Cody does is flinch. Sorrow emanates from Gisela's being. Cody stands there silent knowing he can do nothing to fix this. Both of us was caught in a deathly spider web. Entangling us, suffocating our bodies, filling us with a poison injected by pain and torture.

Gisela looks at me staring me in the eyes. Her voice is ragged, choking back obvious sobs. "You lied to me." It stabs my heart to hear her utter these four toxic words.

 "Gisela I didn't well I did but- I never meant for it to happen like this." She scoffs and looks at me all the sadness dissipated to now fury.

"Oh what did you mean for it happen, huh? Whenever you guys were alone and unable to get caught. You know what- you lied to me and I'm not going to let you get off with it." Her voice quavers as she reaches around her neck and fingers the copper heart placed there. If you looked closely you could find the tiny word Shelby etched on there.

"To me we're no longer best friends." She yanks off the feeble chain and tosses it to the ground like its a piece of trash that she can't even risk being seen with. Then she storms out of my house slamming the door loudly behind her.

I feel tears well up behind my eye-sockets threatening to spill out at any moment. Greyson remains standing erect looking back and forth between Cody and I. "You know I always thought there was something going on between you but I guess I thought too highly of you Shelby." His voice is followed by an all too strange tone. It was one that I've never truly felt till now. Grief and sadness.

"Greyson that's not it- I never wanted to hurt you I-"

"Save it" he snaps. "Just tell me one thing, what does he give you that I can't tell me one thing." He holds back soul jarring sobs. 

"Greyson don't make me do this."

His eyes begin to water and he backs out of my room. "That's what I thought." He takes off out of my house and I sprint after him. I find him in the same spot that Cody and I danced in, ironically. "Greyson," I manage to get out. He looks up tears streaming down his beautiful face.

 "How could you Shelby? All I did the whole time was think of you. How I wanted to come home and see your beautiful face and give you your first real kiss, but I guess fate had other plans didn't it?"

The words pierce my spirit and I know of the evident damage I had applied to Greyson. "Greyson, don't think I never liked you. You know I do but-" He looks at me and approaches me. Suddenly I'm scared that he's going to hit me but I'm surprised at what he actually does.

He forces his lips on mine and pulls me into his body. He pulls away and looks me in the eyes, "What did you feel?" he asks. I am not confused at his inquiry. He wanted to know if I felt anything for him as I did with Cody.

In all honesty this kiss was dull and lifeless. There was no spark nothing that enticed me to kiss him again. Whatever there "had" been between us was now gone like my best friend.

I look down at my feet then back up to him knowing he deserved the truth. "Nothing." I mutter almost breathlessly. His eyes remain tear stained. I search his eyes for something, some sort of forgiveness.

"Please Greyson forgive me." He exhales sharply. 

"Shelby you know I could never be mad at you. I love you too much." I nod at his extremely nonchalant comment. "I made a promise to always be your friend and I'm going to keep it."

I laugh at his always loyal statement. I hug him tightly and he wraps his arms around my waist. "Thank you so much Greyson. I don't know what I'd do without you." He smiles and plays with my hair.

 "It's nothing really and you'd get along fine without me. It's just Gisela I'm worried about."

I sigh in exasperation. "Yeah, I really screwed up this time."

Greyson remains silent for a moment then speaks words of encouragement and wisdom. "Shelby you are the smartest and prettiest girl I know. You are going to figure out a way to get her back." I look up at him and smile shyly, grateful for his presence even after the way I treated him.

"What are you waiting for? Go get your best friend back."
