Grayson's POV
I had been sat on the bench until I started to see the sun come up. I didn't really want to go back to the hotel, I didn't want Ethan to worry about me. Instead, I walked around the streets, until I came to a small cafe.
I ordered myself a turkey sandwich with sour cream, and a latte. I also bought some reece's. Everything that was placed in front of me screamed Megan. I made sure to put 2 sugars in my latte, before I started eating my sandwich.
I looked out of the window, as I watched the rush of people on their way to work. That's when I remembered, school.
Me and Ethan had only been in that school for 2 days... Then we disappeared. I don't really want to go back, so I'm not going to. Ethan had always been better than me where school is concerned, it's like he was just born smart, like he doesn't even need to try. I have dyslexia and learning disabilities, which have always made me fall behind.
"Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you, but is your name Grayson?" A petit waitress had walked over to my table. "Um, Yeah?" I said questionably, how does she know my name.
"Phew! I though I was just making a fool of myself for a second" She said as she pulled out a chair next to mine and sat at the table.
"How do you know my name?" I asked her as I took a sip of my latte.
"I have something for you" She said with a sweet smile as she reached into her apron. She pulled out a small box and handed it to me.
"A beautiful young lady dropped by some time ago, she gave me this box along with a photo of you. She told me she had done something, something she wished she hadn't, but she said it was the only way. She never told me her name, but she did say that if I was ever to see you, to give you this box." She smiled brightly at me.
"I never in a million years thought I would find you" She added.
I was frozen, confused.
"Thank you" I finally choked out. The waitress got up and left, leaving me staring at the box. I didn't want to open it, I didn't want to know what was in there.
I finished my food, the whole time my eyes were fixed on the box, then once I had finished, I made my way to the hotel. I walked into the hotel room and to my luck, it was empty.
I sat on the bed, where I proceeded to stare at the box again. I knew it was from her, there is nobody else it could be from.
After staring at it for about 10 minutes, I finally plucked up enough courage to open the box.
I took of the lid, revealing a letter. It was folded in half and had my name written on the front of it. I unfolded the letter and read it slowly.
Hey Gray...
I'm sorry I left like that, but I had to. At the time, I thought I was making the right decision, the right decision for everyone, except me.
I've now realised that it may have been the biggest fucking mistake I have ever made in my life, and that's saying a lot. But the reason I feel like that is because I'm not with you. I don't think you realise just how much you helped me, how much you effected me, and how much I fucking miss you.
I don't know when you are reading this, or if you ever will, but I just need you to know that.
I left for a reason, it was to protect you, all of you. Maybe one day we will cross paths again, maybe we will find each other. But for now, Its goodbye.
This may be the last time you hear from me, as I don't know where I will be, or if I am still alive when you are reading this.
If I have lost my life, just know that I will be with you. I will be watching over you, Joseph, Ethan, the gang.
I love you with every inch of me, Grayson. And I want you to know that I always will, whether I am with or without you.
I'm so sorry I had to do this, I'm just too Cold. You showed me what it's like to be warm, you gave me warmth, you gave me strength to carry on. But that's why I had to leave. I was making you Cold. I was dragging you down with me, and I knew that I would never forgive myself if I carried on.
Live life to the fullest, Gray.
Don't dwell on the past.
Don't blame yourself or anyone else except me for what's happened.
Things happen for a reason, some are good, some are bad. I know that it feels like it's bad now, but we never know what the future holds.
Stay strong.
Be happy.
You are loved.
You are not alone.
Tell Joseph and Ethan that I love them, tell them I miss them like crazy too. But most importantly, keep them safe. Make sure they know that none of this is there fault. Make sure they are happy, and make sure they are not alone.
I love you so fucking much, Pretty Boy. Don't forget me, but don't wait for me.
I love you.
-M
