...
   She looked at the person with fear in her eyes. Who is this guy? What does he want? Chloe tried to scream but her voice muffled against the stranger's palm.

   "Who's gonna listen to you, honey? Nobody's here. Only us alone."

   The stranger started to kiss Chloe's jaw whilst pinning her hands above her head. Chloe struggled to get herself free from the grip but only to no avail. She didn't even have enough energy to walk let alone fighting a guy.

   "A sweet girl like you should've not walked alone." He unpinned Chloe's hands to take her coat off. He had his knee in between Chloe's legs.

   Chloe squirmed as she felt the stranger's hand slipped into her shirt. She cried her heart out but it only made him laugh.

   "Stop right there!"

   Chloe's head snapped towards the direction of the voice. Her eyes widened when she saw who it was.

"Greyson?"

   The stranger was no longer holding Chloe. He ran away the moment he caught a glimpse of another person in the alley. What a coward.

   Chloe was shook. She slid down to the ground and sobbed. That was close.

   "Are you alright?" Greyson asked as he picked up Chloe's coat. Then he gave it to her.

   Chloe took her coat back and replied, "Yea-yeahh, I guess."

   Silence.

   "T-thanks..for saving me back there." Chloe spoke to break the uncomfortable silence.

   "No problem. You should've not walked alone in this alley. It's too dangerous."

   Chloe was looking down. After what happened between them, it was awkward to talk to Greyson like normal. "What are you doing here?"

   "I want to apologise. Will you forgive me?"

Chloe looked up at Greyson but she couldn't tell where he was looking because he had his shades on. "I already forgave you."

   Greyson snapped his head to Chloe. That easy? "Well..." He wanted to say it but somehow his heart felt heavy. "I think this is gonna be the last time we see each other. I hope you have a good day. Bye." He spoke it anyway.

Greyson turned around and walked to the opposite direction. He only managed to take two steps before his arm was grabbed. He looked over his shoulder.

"Don't leave." Chloe said with a shaky voice whilst looking down. Greyson could tell she was holding in tears.

"Chloe—"

"Don't leave me." She looked up at Greyson. "I love you."

Chloe wasn't the first girl to confess to Greyson but she was the first to fight for her feelings. He could just grasp his arm from her grip and leave but seeing Chloe's pleading face made him feel kind of bad if he did that. Greyson sighed.

"Keep those words to yourself. I can't love you back." Chloe slowly released her grip on Greyson's arm.

"I thought what we did that night... was something. I thought you felt the same." She uttered.

"You know what I was when we did that. Why can't you forget it?"

"How can I forget it? You treated me nicely, you bought me expensive things and you made me feel like I was special. You even took my innocence. I thought it was love!"
