Scarlette's POV

"You can't hide in there forever Grayson!" Carson yelled from outside my house.

"What should we do?" I asked trying to keep quiet and calm.

"I have no idea. I'm just trying to process what's happening right now." Grayson answered out of breath.

"Come out or we come in!" Carson yelled again which made me jump.

"Let's sneak out the back." Grayson whispered and with that we quickly ran to the back door and slipped out.

"I'll check if they're over here." I whispered then walked over to the left.

As soon as I saw Alex I screamed and tried to run but he grabbed me and held on tight.

"Scarlette!" Grayson yelled but quickly got pulled away by Carson and Toby.

"No let go of me!" I screamed as I struggled to get out of Alex's grasp.

"Nope sorry." Alex replied with an evil grin.

He dragged me inside and locked me inside the bathroom.

"LET ME OUT!" I cried but I just got a laugh in response.

"Sorry Carson doesn't want you to leave until he's done with Grayson." Alex responded and with that he walked away.

Grayson's POV

"Get the fuck off of me!" I yelled as the 2 boys shoved me in their car.

"Knock him out for now." Carson whispered then Toby's arm reached back and hit me in the face.

~~~

I woke up tied to a tree in what looked like the middle of no where. I tried squirming my way out of the rope or whatever was holding me back but I couldn't get out.

"Good morning sunshine." Carson smiled as he walked out from behind the tree.

"What the hell are you doing? Where is Scarlette?" I asked pulling harder and harder on the rope so I could escape.

"Oh Grayson, poor, poor Grayson. You know, you should worry more about yourself right now. As long as Scarlette does as she is told she wont get hurt but you? You are going to get hurt either way." Carson smirked which made Toby laugh.

"Get the fuck away from me!" I ordered but it didn't do anything to help me.

"Ooo he's a feisty one." Carson giggled then crouched down so he could be right in front of my face. "Look if you would just stop fighting, you would get hurt a lot less but keep this up? Well you're going to be lucky if you make it out alive." he smiled then once again it went black.

Scarlette's POV

"Alex please let me out!" I yelled banging heavily on the door.

"Scarlette what are you doing in here?" Ethan asked opening up the door slowly.

"How did you? Wait where is Alex?" I asked looking up and down the hallway.

"Alex isn't here. I thought it was just me but apparently you are here too." Ethan answered and I nodded my head in relief.

"Shit!" I blurted then pushed past Ethan and started running down the street.

"Come on pick up, pick up, pick up. God dammit!" I yelled locking my phone and pushing it back into my pocket. I called Grayson first and as I expected I got no answer then I called Carson hoping I could reason with him but again I got no answer.

I stopped running for a minute to catch my breath and ended up stopping in front of a gated park. I looked around just in case Grayson was there and as soon as I looked in the far right corner 3 boys started running off and jumping the gate.

I ran to the back where those 3 boys just were and in complete shock, I found Grayson.

"Holy shit Grayson!" I exclaimed as I dropped to my knees beside Grayson. "What did they do to you?" I asked but I didn't get a response.

A few moments later he coughed up some blood and his eyes fluttered open. I moved his head on top of my lap and started to stroke his hair.

"God I'm so sorry Grayson. I didn't mean for any of this to happen." I cried but he just laughed. "W- what's so funny?" I asked wiping the tears off my cheeks and from under my eyes.

"Eigengrau." he whispered. 
(it's pronounced "eye-gen-gr-ow" btw)

"What?" I asked knowing exactly what he said but I didn't know what he meant.

"You. You're my eigengrau." Grayson answered but that didn't help my confusion at all.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" I asked once again.

"It's the colour seen by the eye in perfect darkness. Out of all the darkness in my life I see colour and that colour is you." he answered and I couldn't help but smile.

"Have you ever stayed up late at night with no lights on and you see nothing but darkness, blackness even?" Grayson asked and I nodded my head thinking of every night I would stay up and think of him and how much wrong I was doing him.

"That colour you see is eigengrau. That's what I see every time something bad happens. Like just now,  when I blacked out I didn't see black, it was dark, but not completely. I saw you and it gave me some colour." he smiled grabbing my hand and kissing it softly.

"That word is so beautiful." I finally replied.

"Just like you." Grayson responded with a smirk.

"Come on let's get you to the hospital." I said moving from under his head and helping him up.

"Okay but first call Ethan so he can help." he nodded as he limped his way across the park.

"Eigengrau." I whispered to myself then giggled softly.

How beautiful.

                       This ending is stupid but I had to finish it somehow so there you go.
