Finding Him

20

Grayson hugged me forever. I looked up at him, as he wiped away my tears. 

"Is it okay if I stay here tonight? I don't really want to go home." He asked. 

"Of course." I dig my head into his chest. 

I went to go turn off the lights. Then I layed down on the bed and slowly went to sleep to the sound of Grayson breathing. 

~~~~~~

I woke up again around 5 when I heard Grayson move around. He noticed that I had woken up. 

"I'm sorry." He said. "I have to get back home before my parents find out. I love you Skyler." He kissed me on the cheek. I blushed as he put on his shoes, and went out the window. 

Grayson's POV

I hated leaving. I hated seeing her cry. I hated everything that made her sad. And most of all, I hated her ex. 

I need to know who he is. I need to know why he did it. And I need to know why he wouldn't let go of her. 

It took me about 5 minutes to get home. My house really isn't that far away, but i just ran the whole time. When I got there I went through my window like I've done many other times. 

I need to ask Skyler if she wants to be my girlfriend. I know know she can fully trust me, and I love that she can. 

I looked in the mirror and splashed cold water in my face. 

I vision someone hurting Skyler. I clench my hands into fists. I then see Skyler smile, and I relax. I look back up at my reflection. 

"I love her so much." I say to myself. I feel a tear in my eye, and then I feel it drop down. I don't know why I'm crying. I just think about her, and how just one person could have the biggest impact on me as much as she has. 

I look at my phone and it's 5:30. Ethan gets up at 6, so I layed down in my bed to try to avoid questions from him. 

I lay there staring at the ceiling. For the longest time ever I didn't think about anything. I then again thought of Skyler. How hurt she would have been. How bad she had wanted to tell someone. And even how bad she wanted to get out. 

Ethan's alarm goes off and brakes my thoughts. I look over at him as he turns it off while his eyes where still closed. I get up as if I already wasn't before and brush my teeth. As I'm coming out Ethan walks in. 

"Where were you last night?" He asks. I think about last night, and it feels like 5 minutes ago. 

"I was with Skyler." I say looking in my closet for something to wear. 

"Man... You're always with her now. We need some brother time. You know like we were? I miss that." He sounds sarcastic. "Nah, I'm just kidding, but seriously, we need to hang out." 

"Okay, when?" I pull out a shirt. 

"Lets go somewhere after practice."

"After practice? Umm... Well...--" I get cut off by Ethan. 

"Dude. you need one day were your not drooling over her 24/7. She'll get it."

I thought about her and what she would say. I hated the way he said drooling like I actually was. I try to let it go, but it keeps bugging me. 

"Okay, fine." I give in only because I know we won't stop asking until I said yes. 

I walk downstairs before he could say anything else. 

I guess the small things bug me, and it won't go away. Why did he say it like that?
