Heart Like Stone (Greyson Chance)

Chapter 31

    “You still carry this around huh?” Greyson laughed as he moved to the left side of his bed, Making room for me.

    “Well, of course.” I laid next to him.

    “Thats almost two years old now..”

    I laughed, “It is two years old. You’re 17.” I poked his nose.

    “Wow.” He raised an eyebrow.

    “I don’t understand how you forget this,” I teased him.

    “Thats funny...because it seriously seems like yesterday, I was just 12 years old, posting videos on youtube.” I looked at the ceiling.

    “Wait...Cody is 17 too...I’m the youngest one in here!” I laughed. Cody looked up when he heard his name.

    “Huh?”

    “Nothing,” I shook my head and smiled.

    Greyson ran his fingers through his hair. “I’m going to bed.” He smiled. “I’m exhausted. Night,” He kissed my cheek before sliding down into bed, not even five minutes later, he was asleep. I sighed, and tried to fall asleep, but I couldn’t. I was either afraid, because of what happened, or my stomach was keeping me from sleeping. So instead, I just sat there and watched Greyson lightly breathing.

    I slowly stood up after an hour and tiptoed to Greyson’s door, slowly turning to Cody.

    “You’re still up?” He whispered to me.

    “I was just going to ask you the same thing...” I smiled at him. I held my breath when I heard Greyson move in bed, thankfully he didn’t wake up. I exhaled and smiled looking back at Cody.

    “How’s your stomach?” He frowned.

    “Hurts. Bad.” I shook my head, “I don’t understand.”

    “If its not better by morning, you should go to the hospital..”

    “Haven’t we been there enough?” I shook my head.

    “Rachel. Please? Your my best friend.” I sighed.

    “Fine.”

    I slowly opened Greyson’s door and walked down the hallway. I walked into the kitchen and got a bowl of cereal. Yes, I eat cereal any time of day. Have an issue with that? I smiled to myself as I pushed the cereal around the bowl. I finished it and sighed. Putting my head on the table. I sat like that for awhile, until I heard footsteps coming down the stairs.

    “Rachel?” Alexa looked confused.

    I sat up, “Yeah..hey,”

    “Hi..”

    “Sorry, I was just-”

    “No, its ok,” She smiled at me.

    I put the bowl in the sink and sighed, it was 12:30 by now.

    “Watcha doing?” She asked me.

    “Nothing, couldn’t sleep.” I shrugged.

    “Oh,”

    “You?”

    “same,” she laughed. “Well...I’m going back to bed.”

    “All right..”

    “Goodnight,” She left and I was alone again.

    I slowly made my way back up the stairs and into Greyson’s bedroom. Cody was asleep, i threw a blanket over him before climbing in with Greyson.
