Megan's POV
"Do you want to come to London with me? It's on me this time" I said to Grayson as I pulled the money out of my bag.
"Where did you get this?" He questioned.
"Lets just say, I was taken by these men. I still don't know who they were or what they wanted with me, but they drugged me and dragged me out of the building before it had exploded. They held me hostage in Australia. Yeah, Australia. I finally found a way out of there. I stole their jeep and drove it away. Turns out, I stole the jeep that their money was in! There were thousands, Gray! I obviously couldn't take it all or people would get suspicious. I just took what I thought I'd need." I said.
Grayson just stood there, taking in everything I had just told him.
"So you were held hostage? And you don't know why?" He asked.
"Pretty much. Now, you coming or not?" I smirked.
"I am SO coming" Grayson said like a little kid.
I just walked away from him and grabbed my bag.
"Go pack, we are leaving today" I said to him. Grayson literally ran towards his room to pack.
"Listen, Joseph. I have to do something, it will make sure we are safe okay? I will be back as soon as I can. Will you promise me you'll do what Ethan says?" I said as I crouched down to my brothers level.
"Yes Meg." He said. I just hugged him tightly. I didn't want to leave him, but I knew I had to.
I then stood up and hugged Ethan. I whispered into his ear.
"I don't know what's going to happen. Can I trust you to take care of him if I don't make it?"
"Don't say that, Megan." He whispered back.
"Ethan, I need you to answer me. Would you keep him safe?" I asked again.
"Of course."
I pulled away from the hug slightly and kissed him on the cheek.
"Thank you." I said as I released my grip on him.
I then hugged Joseph again and spun him around.
"Be good, yeah?" I said with glassy eyes. I could feel something. I could feel my eyes filling. It feels like ages since this had happened.
I let a tear slip as I let out a sigh and stood up fully. I wiped my tear away and Grayson walked back into the room.
"Ready?" He asked me.
"Uh yeah" I said as I looked up from Joseph, to see Grayson stood in the doorway with a bag over his shoulder.
"Do you want me to give you a ride?" Ethan asked.
"That'd be great" I said as a soft smile formed onto my lips.
For that small time I was in that house, I felt normal again. Grayson seemed to just suffocate my cold with his warmth. Seeing him again made my emotions start to form. My feelings start to show. I wasn't empty. I wasn't numb. I wasn't Cold.
As soon as I stepped out of the warm house, the draft hit me. I was once again met with the ice cold girl that I had become.
He made me like this. Maybe if he's gone, I can find the old me. She can come back. She can be happy. She can live again.
We got in the car and I sat in the back with Joseph. He told me about how he's doing in school and how he's been living with Ethan. I honestly can't thank Ethan enough for that.
I then thought about Grayson. He is the reason I am still alive. He is the reason why I didn't give up. He has risked his life for me. He has given up so much. He hadn't even known me for a day and he was already helping me. Grayson gave me his life, so I'm gonna give him mine.
We pulled up at the airport and I once again said goodbye to Joseph and Ethan. Me and Grayson then made are way into the airport.
I made sure my face was hidden. If Damien doesn't know I'm alive, he won't know what's coming to him.
We boarded are plane and headed to London.
"Grayson, when this plane lands, I need to get some spray paint." He just looked at me strangely.
"You'll see" I said as I chuckled at him.
I ended up falling asleep with my head on Grayson's lap. I was still pretty exhausted I guess.
...
Grayson woke me up as the plane was about to land. We got our luggage and went to an arts and crafts store, where I bought some spray paint.
We then got a taxi to James' studio. I had told Grayson to tell the gang that they could go there whenever they wanted to.
We made our way inside and I walked over to the plain wall. I took out the can of spray paint, and sprayed my sign onto the wall.
Me and Grayson then left and checked into a hotel. We went to a different hotel than last time.
We made it into the hotel room and Grayson wrapped me in his arms.
"God, I've missed you so much" He mumbled against my neck as he kissed it.
Grayson then showed me how much he had missed me...
...
I woke up with Grayson by my side. A smile formed on my lips as memories from last night came flooding in.
I nuzzled my head into Grayson's shoulder as I left little kisses from his neck, up his jawline to wake him up.
A smile formed on his lips and he opened his eyes.
"I could get used to that" He said as he turned onto his side to face me.
We just stared into each other's eyes. His eyes kept switching from my eyes to my lips.
"Oh just fucking kiss me already" I said with a laugh as Grayson chuckled. He kissed me slowly and played with my hair.
I broke the kiss and got up to have a shower. I noticed Grayson following me into the bathroom.
"Mind if I join?" He whispered in my ear. I just laughed at him and we got in the shower.
...
After our shower, me and Grayson went for breakfast at the hotel. We then made our way to James' studio.
Grayson walked in first to see if there was anyone in there.
The whole gang were in the studio, just looking at the wall where I left my sign.
Grayson coughed, getting their attention. He then motioned me to come inside.
I walked in with my head down.
I could hear the gasps coming from their mouths. I had my hood up as I walked in.
I walked into the middle of the room and removed my hood. I looked up to see jaws dropping.
"I made it out of the building" I said. Everyone was just staring at me.
"I'm back to finish what I started" I added, causing people to cheer and run towards me. They hugged me tightly and told me how happy they are that I'm alive.
I then walked to James' office and grabbed my bandana. When I walked back, I was handed the bag I had left. In it were all the weapons James had.
I took James' knife from the bag and held it in my hand. I raised it above my head as I looked up.
"For James" I said as I kept looking up.
"For James!" Everyone around me shouted.
