Edited.

Song for this chapter: NONONO- Pumpin Blood.

A lump formed in my throat as I was at a loss for words looking at the person in front in me who was as much out of breath as I was. A gasp emitted from the corner of the room where Kylie,Brody, Olivia and Hunter were situated. 

It was a feminine gasp which came out of Kylie's mouth. People who I didn't even know had their eyes set on me and not on the person I was just making out with but on Hunter. I guess they were all expecting him to blow up.

To be honest, I expected him to blow up too but that isn't what he did. He simply shook his head like he didn't care about what he had just seen while Kylie looked like she had just seen an alien casually walk past her.

I needed to get out of here. Quickly without thinking, I walked out of the house pushing past the drunken messes. When I got outside I took in a deep breath to think over what I had just done, in frustration I ran my fingers through my hair and paced back and forth. 

I made a huge mistake, a mistake I can't turn back on. What's going to happen when I go back to school? Will it be like it usually is like I had hoped for or will I be excluded from the group like they had done to a few people before.

I've done many things in life which I highly regret like smoking weed for the first time, hanging around with the wrong crowd, stealing things from different stores, skipping school because I couldn't stand the thought of P.E with a bunch of hormonal teenage boys. But this tops it all.

A few people who were just arriving to the party were looking at me either with confused expressions or concerned, but they didn't approach me they just walked into the house. I walked down to the wall that was at the end of the yard in front of the house and sat on it looking forward at the other houses in front with my back facing the house. The sun was just setting, creating an orange glow in the sky. I almost fell off the wall with fright when I felt someone touch my arm.

Turning around to face the person, I was faced with the guy I didn't want to see at all- Ever again. No it wasn't Hunter, it was the guy I was making out with:

 Grayson Smith.

''What do you want?'' I scoffed, he sighed in response, sitting himself down on the wall right beside me.

''What happened back there?'' He asked me, motioning his head towards the house. What happened back there? Is he serious right now? He knows exactly what happened back there. 

''We made out'' I answered without a care in the world, when in reality I knew it was probably one of the worst things I've done in a really really long time. 

No, not because Hunter would never take me back now, Fuck Hunter. It's because I know what Hunter could do to ruin not only my life but also Grayson's. I hate to admit it, but he seems like a good kid, and I obviously can't let him know I think that.

We were both looking straight ahead at the orange glow of the sky, which was slowly getting darker and darker. I crossed my arms and started to rub my hands up and down my arms to try heat myself up from the cold. Unexpectedly, I could see from the corner of my eye Grayson take off his denim jacket and put it over my shoulders, giving me that warmth I longed for.

I furrowed my brows questionably and he copied my expression. ''What?'' he asked me confused as to why I was looking at him strangely. 

''Why did you give me your jacket?'' I finally asked, Hunter would never give me his jacket when he seen me cold.

 This is all new to me, ''You were cold, right?'' He asked, smiling at me genuinely. Damn that smile. 

''Ehm yeah, but you didn't have to give me your jacket''. He shook his head at me and chuckled. Is this boy on crack?
