A Chance At Love

The Secret

Elizabeth's P.O.V
Ethan and I were walking along having the usual convocation we have, consisting of "how are you" and "how's Ella and Casey" and just small talk really, it was all going well and I was happy until I made the mistake of snuggling into Grayson's coat and saying "It smells like him" Ethan looked at me and furrowed his brows "what smells like who?" He asked confused, I sighed and snuggled my face into Grays coat again, I then looked at Ethan and said "Grayson's coat, it smells like him"
"oh" Ethan replied nodding, we were then walking along in silence until Ethan said "you miss him don't you" I sighed and nodded "of course I miss him, I miss him more than anything in the world" I thought back to the times we had together and sighed "why don't you talk to him then" Ethan asked me, I looked at him longingly "I wish I could Eth, I really do, but if I spoke to him my mum would kill me" I had barely finished my sentence before Ethan interrupted me "who cares what your mum thinks, you love Grayson right?" I nodded "then you won't let some women, who yes may be your mother, stop you"
"But..." I started, although he didn't let me carry on "No Beth, no but's, if you really love Grayson then you won't let your mum stop you from seeing him, how are you acting at home? Are you acting differently?" Ethan asked me, I sighed and covered my face with my hands, then looked at Ethan "honestly... I'm completely different, I only get along with Brooke and she's always out with her friends so I don't see her much anyway, Josh... don't even get me started on him, my dad never spoke to me much anyway and my convocations with my mum are either small talk, or arguments. No one knows this, not my parents, not Casey and Ella, not even Brooke knows this, but Ethan I think I'm depressed, I've been taking anti-depressant tablets to help me forget, but they don't always work. Nothing takes the pain away, the only thing that would help is Grayson, but he is the one thing I can't have" I sighed and started wiping tears away from my eyes, Ethan had stopped walking and turned to face me, he sighed and said "come with me, I know what will help" My face lit up when he said that, he gently grabbed my arm and we started running the opposite way we were walking "where are we going" I asked, laughing slightly, "well, you said Grayson's presence is the only thing that can help you... so I'm taking you to Grayson" I was speechless, I couldn't say anything, I was scared, upset, but excited to just hold my boyfriend again.

Grayson's P.O.V
I was sat on the couch in the lounge just listening to music, trying to have a nap to take away all the thoughts of Beth, but it wasn't working, I sighed and got up to grab some food, and just as I did so the door opened, I looked around the corner to see Ethan and Elizabeth stood there, huffing and puffing as if they'd been running, I stood facing the door completely, and said "Beth, I'm sure you just came back for my coat, I hope it kept you warm" she started smiling and shook her head saying "I've not come back to give you the coat Gray" I didn't know what she meant until she ran over to me and hugged me, she hugged me so tightly that I could barely move, but I didn't care, I hugged her back, I wrapped my arms around her and squeezed her back, she whispered in my ear "I missed you so much Gray, you don't even understand" I dropped my jaw slightly, I was trying to think of what to say "I missed you too Beth, I missed you so so so much" we then separated from our hug and she clashed our lips together, pushing me against the wall, I wrapped my arms around her and kissed back. It was amazing having her back
