"Friends" || G.D. ||

14: Take it all

Lynn's P.O.V. 

I jump awake at the sound of things breaking. I look around. I grab my phone to see what time it is. 2:37 in the morning. What the fuck?

I can hear Grayson breathing next to my ear. He is still sleeping. I don't know when he laid next to me on the couch, but he is there. The last thing I remember is him giving the best backrub I have ever had. I stand up and Grayson starts to wake up. He moves his hands around my waist. 

"Don't go," he murmurs, still half asleep. 

"I think someone is here, Gray," I say. His eyes open and he lets go of me. He gets up and I realize he is in sweatpants and he is shirtless. 

I get up with him and walk to where I heard breaking. I see that the boxes in the kitchen fell. No one is there. The boxes must have fallen and that was what broke. I walk over to one of the boxes and open it. 

Broken glass is everywhere in the box. I only wanted a couple of the dishes but now I can't have any. Some if the dishes were special to me and I wanted to keep them because they held memories. 

A tear slips from my eye and I wipe it off. Grayson comes behind me and hugs me. I turn around into his hug. He just holds me. He tells me to lay down and that he will clean it up. I go lay on the couch and fall back asleep.

I wake up in the morning and Grayson isn't next to me. I get up and I know I stink. I head straight for the shower. After my shower is done, I throw on some jeans and a t-shirt. I put on my old tennis shoes and walk downstairs. The house seems really quite. 

"Grayson?" I yell. No answer. I guess he left. I go to the kitchen to see that all the glass is picked up and the boxes aren't there anymore. It makes me a little sad but I can't do anything about it. I check the time because the people are supposed to come pick up the stuff around 10:00. It is 9:43. 

Just then, I hear a truck backing up. Probably into my drive way. I go to the front and see guys getting out of a big moving truck. I tell them what rooms to not go in and to not grab the boxes. The rest they can take. 

I watch them most of the day putting things into the truck and taking them away. The couch, the beds, the fridge, etc. When they finally finish, a skinny guy that has been looking at his notepad and writing down each thing and the approximate cost walks up to me. 

"Everything here, in this truck, is about $28,000. We will send you the money however you wish," he says. 

Whoa. I wasn't expecting that much. The skinny guy looks at me.

"Check, then?" he asks. I nod. I give him the address to mail it to and I sign the papers. All the guys get into his truck and they wave good-bye and leave. 

I walk into the house and marvel on how empty it is. The walls are bare and the rooms are mostly empty. I check the time again and it is 3:58. I haven't eaten anything today yet so I decide to walk down to the Dairy Queen a couple blocks down and get some food. I grab my wallet and head out. 

I order my food and eat outside. I wonder where Grayson went. I finish my food and head back. On my way back home, I get a call from the lady. 

"They movers already came. What storage company do you have in mind for your remaining things?" she says. I tell her where and she says okay. She says the movers will come back today and pick it all up. She tells me she is sorry for my loss and to have a wonderful life.

I walk back home but don't go to the house. I go to Lisa's. I walk into the house and into the living room. Ethan sits on the couch, watching Netflix. He sees me and looks kind of worried. 

"Hey," he says shakily. 

"What's wrong, Ethan," I ask. my eyebrows coming together in confusion. 

"Nothing," he says. 

"Tell me," I demand. 

"Nothing," he repeats. Ok, so he won't tell me. Whatever. 

"Fine," I sigh. He looks relieved. "So do you know where Grayson is?" 

"No. Why would I? I haven't seen him all day. I thought he was with you," he says. I decide to call him. 

Ring-Ring-Ring--      You have reached the automatic voice messaging system-- 

I hang up. I sigh. "He didn't answer me," I say. I look at Ethan. He looks at me.

"Oh, you want me to call him, now?" he says. I keep looking at him. "He didn't answer you, why would he answer me?" he asks. I just keep looking at him. "Okay! Fine, just stop looking at me like that. He grabs his phone and calls Grayson. 

He puts it on speaker phone. It rings and Grayson picks up on the second ring. I hear music, not loud, just quite music and people talking. Almost like he is just hanging with some friends. Ethan looks at me. 

"Hey, man. What do you need?" Grayson says. 

"Hey, Gray. Lynn tried to call you but you didn't pick up. She wants to know if you are okay," Ethan says. 

"Yeah. I am perfectly okay. I'm awesome," he says trailing off. There is laughing in the background. 

"Who are you with?" Ethan asks. 

"Are you around Lynn?" Gray asks. 

Ethan looks at me and I shake my head. "Nah," Ethan says. 

"Don't tell her then. I am not cheating on her either so don't think that. I am will Will, Adam, Chandler, and their girls; also Rachel is here." 

Once I hear Rachels' name, my heart drops. Rachel is his ex. Rachel is the girl he lost his virginity to. He thought he loved her but she wanted a one night stand. He knows I hate her. And he is hanging out with her and his best friend's that all have girlfriends. 

I know he said he isn't cheating, but it doesn't feel right. Why does he want me to not know if he isn't doing anything?
