Day 5

I woke up happy. That has not happened in quite awhile. Grayson makes me happy. I wouldn't date someone I wouldn't marry, and I would date Grayson. I mean Gray. "Mary Kate!" Kristin yelled and her footsteps were coming closer and closer to my room. She opened the door and I saw her holding a cup of pills. Oh yeah, I can't marry Grayson. Don't have that long. 

I grabbed the cup of pills and swallowed them one by one. I would forget I only have 27 days to live if it weren't for these stupid pills. I nearly choked on the pills and coughed after I swallowed my last one. Kristin laughed and said "Don't die on me!" Then she realized what she said and instantly said "Oh I didn't mean it like that." I shook my head. "It's fine Kris."

I changed into my uniform and ran over to my mirror. I saw some messy pieces of hair and got out hairspray. I also look kinda skinny.. weird.  For some reason, my appearance seems much more important to me than normal.. typically it's not a big deal. I walked to the kitchen and grabbed an apple. "Ready to go?" Kristin said yelling from the bathroom. "Yeah, whenever you're done we'll go." I said yelling and grabbing a water. "I'm gonna go ahead and go to the car, see you soon." I ran out the door. I went into the parking garage and unlocked the car. I turned on the heater since it's January and freezing. I clicked the button for the radio and twenty one pilots came on. 

Kristin came running through the door to the garage and bolted to the car. "Go." She said freaking out and acting excited. "Why the rush?" I said laughing and driving out of the parking garage. "Dude I just wanna get to work." She said blushing. "Okay weirdo." I said shaking my head. 

We pulled into the alley behind the cafè and Kristin ran out and up to the door. Sure enough, Ethan was standing there for her. Figures, of course Gray kissed me then dissed me. Typical boys. I walked up to them and laughed, trying to hide the disappointment. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around. "Did you seriously think I wouldn't come with Ethan?" Grayson said hugging me. "Ye- no, no I did not." Pulling away and unlocking the door. 

I walked to the counter and stood behind it. Grayson took out his computer from his bag and sat down at a booth in the corner. I decided to make him a hot chocolate. I poured a cup and topped it with a little whip cream. I picked up the mug and walked over to Grayson. "Bless your soul." He said taking a sip. I laughed and walked away. I noticed a young girl only about 17 walk in and I walked to her. "Hello, what would you like?" I said smiling. "Oh just a water and a pastry please." She said and handed me cash. She walked over to a booth next to the door. 

I grabbed her pastry from the oven and poured a glass of water. I took the items over to her and she thanked me with a smile.

It's been a hour or so and that 17 year old is still here.  

I heard the door open and looked over to see a boy about 18 or so. He walked over to me and smiled. "Hey, what would you like sir?" I said smiling back. "Just a coffee, black. Thank you." He said handing me his card. I swiped it and handed it back to him. He just waited at the counter so I quickly poured a black cup of coffee in a cup. I handed it to him and he nodded. On his way out, him and the girl just about paused what they were doing and smiled. 

The two kids have been here for 2 hours talking. This is what I wanted, coffee brings people together. A few minutes later, they walked out together laughing. 

GRAYSONS POV

It's upload day for E and I's YouTube but I'm too busy thinking about those kids that caught each other by the eyes and walked out hand-in-hand. That's what life should be about. 

I looked at the clock and saw that it was time to upload. I pressed "PUBLIC" on the video and instantly got spammed with notifications. Ah Tuesdays. I liked a few tweets and retweeted a few, then shut off my phone. I walked over to Mary Kate and she smiled. "Hey." "Hi Gray." She said looking at her phone. I put my finger on her chin and pulled her head up. "It's time for you to close." I said smiling. She laughed and shook her head no. "Haha not for another hour." She said pointing to the clock. "I already asked your temporary boss." I said looking at Kristin. "Oh wow." She said laughing. "Alright well let's go." I said picking her up over my shoulder. She's quite light, weird. 

I sat her in the passenger side of the truck and buckled her seatbelt before she objects to the idea of leaving. I started to drive to the tallest building in New Jersey. The 30 Hudson. The whole way Mary Kate asked where we were going and all I would say is "somewhere." 

I pulled into the parking lot and parked the car. "What are we doing here?" She said looking confused. "Going to the top, obviously." I said grabbing her hand. We walked inside the elevator and waited to get to the floor "ROOFTOP". 42 stories later we were there. We walked out to see the prettiest view of the sunset I've ever seen. There were lights everywhere, streets glowing, and the golden sun. I looked over to see Mary Kate.. crying. 

MARY KATES POV

We reached the top and I couldn't hold it in. I want more moments like this. I don't get too many more. I want Grayson holding my hand forever. I could die happy holding his hand. Grayson looked over and saw tears going down my cheek. He walked over to me and wiped my tears. "What's wrong, love?" He said looking sad. "Nothing is. That's the problem. This is freaking perfect and I want this everyday. I want us everyday. I can't have to everyday. I can't." I said looking down crying. "No it's okay we can do this lots. It's not like it's closing in a month." He said hugging me. No Grayson, this view isn't closing. The bond between us is though. I can't hurt him. "NO. STOP WE CAN'T." I yelled pushing him away. I ran to the elevator and pressed "GROUND" I jumped in and pressed the door shut button. Grayson didn't make it in time. 

I reached the ground and took a taxi to the apartment. The whole way the driver kept asking me what's wrong. When we reached the apartment and I couldn't handle it anymore. "I am dying, that is what's freaking wrong." I yelled and slammed the door. I ran up the stairs and was at our door in no time. I opened it and saw Kristin in pajamas eating popcorn. I walked over to her and sat down. "Hey! How was it-" "No, don't ask." I said. Wait. She'll call Ethan or Grayson. I gotta lie. "He just. Grayson's moving without Ethan to LA." I said. She hugged me and went back to her movie. Perfect. No, none of this is perfect. 

I can bring other people together but I can't even keep myself together.
