My eyes flutter open but close again at the bright light. "Grayson?" I choke out, a light squeeze was felt in my hand.
The lights dimmed and I could finally open my eyes. My vision becomes clear and I can see dad hovering above me.
He sighs with relief as I make eye contact with him, he sends me a sad smile.
"My brave little girl" he whispers before kissing my forehead.
"I'll go tell your brothers" he informs me and walks out, I look around the small room and my eyes fall on Grayson.
He was the one gripping my hand, his head down on the bed.
"Grayson" My voice hoarse.
He looks up at me, our fingers fiddling together. His cheek was bruised, a busted lip and bags under his eyes.
"Baby, I'm so sorry" he whispers, moving his seat closer.
"I'm so sorry, this happened to you" I shake my head, tears falling as he says his sorry.
"It's not your fault" I tell him softly.
"Look at you!" he whisper yells "you and Noah had to go through this because I'm in love with you"
"Grayson" I choke out. My body physically couldn't handle it.
"No this is my fault" He says, I shake my head.
"Grayson!" I demand, he stops his rant "This isn't your fault. Your love for me isn't the reason why I'm in this hospital bed it's because Josh is a psychopath." I tell him.
"I can't let you get hurt anymore because I love you" he sighs.
"What are you saying?" I question, tears falling free.
"I can't anymore." He says quietly.
"Grayson, don't" I beg.
"Rebecca" he starts and my eyes turn away from him, he's being serious "I'm doing this because I love you, and I'm letting you go"
"Grayson, just because you love me doesn't me you have to let me go"
"This thing with Josh has gone on for way to long, and it's because of me. It's always been because of me"
He kisses the back of my hand, continuously "Grayson" I beg again.
He gets up, his grip on my hand tightens "I'm so sorry, ocean eyes" he whispers leaning forward.
"I do want you to know one thing. If you still want to be my friend or an enemy again" he pauses.
"I need you to know I love you, always have, always will" he whispers kissing my forehead.
The kiss was a lingering one, like he didn't want to leave, but he had too.
"I love you" he whispers slipping something around my neck, I notice it as Ryder's necklace, but something new was on it.
And with that he stands up straight and begins to walk out.
"Grayson" I call out, before our hands detach. He looks back at me, his green eyes glistening with tears, just like mine.
