About Last Night

Chapter Two

Learning that Daniel died was honestly the hardest thing I've ever had to go through. I went from A's to F's and staying in school was the hardest thing ever because no mater how hard I tried I couldn't concentrate.

"Ava, I know you're going through a lot but you need to get out and get your mind off of things."

"Katie I'm heart broken, and I understand you want what's best for me and you want me to socialize, and get out and be more like myself but it's so hard!" I begin to sob.

"Can I ask you something?" Katelin asks and she sits down on my bed with me.

"Yeah knock yourself out."

"What did Grayson say when he followed you out of the class?" She said with a straight face.

"All he said was that if I needed someone he would be there and I could talk to him whenever." I said while looking down at my sheets

"Anything else?"

"And he gave me his number just incase I needed him."

"Grayson gave you his number!" She said kinda shocked

"Yeah, I don't really want to talk about him."

I felt really bad for how I talked to Grayson the other day, he was just trying to help and I was a complete bitch.

"Well Ava, it's Friday, and there's a party tonight at Justin's house at 8 and I heard a ton of people will be there, and before you freak out and say no please consider it,I think it'd be good for you to get out of the house and get your mind off things."

"I'll think about it, no promises tho!"

I've never really been the party type of girl honestly, I prefer sitting home and watching Netflix and keeping to myself, but sitting home just makes me think about Daniel and I don't know why but recently I've been thinking about Grayson too.

"Ava!" Katie shakes me out of my haze.  "I have to go, my dad is calling and he told me he'd call when he was here, I love you though, and don't forget to text me and let me know if you're going to go to the party!"  She hugs me and exits my bedroom and I'm left there alone thinking about it again, maybe it's not such a bad idea to go out tonight.
---
I wake up and look at the alarm clock by my bed *6:00 pm* seems like all I ever do anymore is sleep and cry, I was truly falling apart.

I look at the crumbled up piece of paper on my nightstand.

Should I call him?

What would I even say to him? 'Sorry for being a massive bitch the other day.' Calling him and apologizing would be the right thing to do. That, and I wanted to know if he would be at Justin's party tonight.
---
Ava: "Hey Grayson, I just wanted to call and apologize for how I acted the other day. Maybe call me back when you get the chance."

I hang up the phone and stare at my bed

Why did I just do that?

I'm getting ready to text Katie and tell her that I'm not going to the party when my phone starts ringing.

Ava: "Katie I'm not going to the party if that's what you're calling to ask about."

Grayson: "Hey Ava, actually it's Grayson I was returning your call." He says while chuckling

Ava: "Oh.. h-hi Grayson, I wasn't really expecting you to call back with how I treated you the other day. I'm really sorry about that by the way."

Grayson: "Don't be you were upset I understand completely, but about the party... what a shame you're not going I was hoping to see you there!"
